An American edition of the English tabloid OK! appears on the scene this week with a bold claim to being "the world's biggest and brightest celebrity magazine." We like unchecked ambition, and the very British looking editor-in-chief Sarah Ivens promises in her Editor's Letter, "We won't disappoint!" So with that, we pushed all the other tabloids off the table this week.
First impression: Like an in-flight magazine for an airline whose only destination is Hollywood.
Patron saint: Tara Reid, of whom there are appoximately 12,000 glamour shots.
Favorite word: "Cute." (Paris and Paris are a cute couple"; Tara Reid is a "cute starlet"; Mariah ate at a "cute restaurant.")
Scoops: Only one: Jessica Simpson says, "If I got pregnant, I would be ecstatic, but we're not trying. We're definitely practicing, though."
Party coverage: Cynthia Nixon and Russell Simmons looking uncomfortable.
Horoscopes: "Just because someone's cute doesn't mean they're a good investment."
Deal-breaker: Calling Mariah "Marvelous Mariah."
Redeeming display copy: "Mariah says that high heels are central to her persona."
Overall sexiness: 3/10, with all three points earned by disheveled Mischa Barton looking hungover and pretty while drinking iced coffee.
