Great Toilet Reading...great stories for one sitting!
Date of Review: Jan 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a magazine that hands you the dirt of Hollywood in a simple minded manner...US Weekly is for you!
I subscribed to US Weekly only because it was free. No...really. I got one of those emails where they offer you "free points" and you can spend those points on one free year of certain magazines. The only catch is...you can't be lazy about sending back the renewal slip when the year is up because they have your credit card number. Ah hah! So anyway....here I was with 700 points left and flashing in front of me on the screen was US Weekly. So I took the bait.
I have to say that US Weekly is probably the best toilet reading around. I'm not just saying that the contents of the magazine are trashy but that sitting on the toilet and reading this magazine makes the perfect arrangement. The stories hardly ever are more than 4 paragraphs long and they are just informative enough to let me know who slept with who, who had who's child, and who is getting divorced.
Other than the duration of my bowel movements, I have to say that this magazine does keep one informed with what's coming out in the theaters, what to look for in music and what's worth watching on tv. If someone is looking for a magazine that just gives them the trash they are looking for with some extra benefits such as movie reviews, then US Weekly is the magazine for them.
This magazine is pretty small in size...a bit thinner than People Magazine and a big thicker then Playboy. The articles are direct and to the point and the pictures are colorful and always on the up to date scandal of the week.
So if you're looking for something to make that "time alone" better...pick of US Weekly...you won't be disappointed!
