  Gossip magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was possibly the first time a gossip magazine had made real efforts to attract readers who weren't members of the elite classes; it didn't presume its readers had a close familiarity with any given social or professional world.
The large-circulation gossip magazines eventually gave way to supermarket tabloids, such as the National Enquirer, and to less scandal-oriented celebrity coverage in magazines like People and Us, though small-circulation publications that harken back to the '50s approach have continued to be published.
The history of gossip magazines also includes a few eccentric titles that flaunted the usual rules of acceptable taste, such as the sexually explicit Hollywood Star of the 1970s.

Each week, when the new magazines come in, instead of sending back the old ones, they rip off the covers and send them back to the magazine companies for credit.
Most of the pictures in these magazines are of female celebrities who get all dressed up to pose on red carpets outside of awards shows, which seem to happen at least once a week.
If the magazines like a celebrity, they give them a second to suck in their guts and stand sideways so they look skinnier before snapping the picture.

 Monitor on Psychology - Bonding over others' business
Likewise, the pleasure that people derive from gossip can create a tendency to "dish dirt"—even when the subject matter doesn't affect our lives, such as with celebrity gossip, or when divulging information could be more risky, such as at work, says DeBacker.
He suggests that gossip is the human version of social grooming—a behavior common among other social primates in which one ape or monkey strokes the fur and picks fleas and ticks from the coat of another ape or monkey to strengthen group ties.
Meanwhile, gossiping about higher-status people—whether that person is a boss or celebrity—can help us obtain information that will help us compete with those of higher status while also denigrating them.

 Which gossip magazine is the best? - By YiLing Chen-Josephson - Slate Magazine
