 Written on July 28, 2005 Summary: HORRIBLE I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE EVEN ONE ISSUE. I LOOKED ON THE IN TOUCH MAGAZINE SIGHT AND IT SAID THAT I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 6 ISSUES. I WILL NEVER ORDER A MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH THIS COMPANY OR THROUGH AMAZON AGAIN.  Written on May 26, 2005 Summary: It's Just Ok.... Well, like a couple of the other reviewers, getting my In Touch in the mail was like a surprise everytime. I wouldn't get three of the issues for a week and a half, and then out of nowhere, i would recieve all three in the same day. Also, what has annoyed me is the only people who have graced the cover has been Nick and Jessica or Brad and Jen. I have to question the magazine too because one issue will say they are broken up, then the next will say they are FOR SURE with the other person, and then the next would say they were back together. Its just annoying. The thing i do like most about this magazine is certainly all the stories inside. There are the same pictures you will find everywhere else but there are a lot of short articles that you can read rather than many five page articles. Its a lot more relaxing. So, although i have had some problems with the service, and am a little annoyed with their "broad" range of stories, it could be worse.  Written on October 25, 2004 Summary: In Touch with Celebs Yeah, In Touch magazine is basically fluff when compared to world events, but I like their kind of fluff. This class of magazine is celebrity driven without being what I would classify a tabloid (i.e. Star or The National Inquirer). In comparison, In Touch magazine most closely relates to US Weekly and People. Of these three magazines, In Touch has the best quality and quantity of photographs. In Touch's article's aren't as good as US Weekly's, but with a much lower cover price it's worth picking up one when in line at the grocery store. On the other hand, if you are looking to subscribe to a weekly magazine, US Weekly is a better bet because their usual subscription price is $.1.00 per issue versus their $3.50 cover price per issue. Meanwhile, In Touch does not give much of a price break for subscribers. Their subscription price is $.1.49 per issue versus their $1.99 cover price per issue.  Written on October 11, 2004 Summary: Great magazine for a great price (...) Other magazines that write about similar topics are outrageously priced and their articles are misleading and you never learn anything of actual relevance to the topics on the cover. One prime example of this is US Weekly. I have read several issues of this in the past usually by way of someone giving the mag to me when they were done with it and I've actually only personally bought US Weekly twice. But it's style annoys me and it is a magazine that wants to write about interesting celebrity driven issues but often fails. Please do not confuse In Touch with US Weekly. That is what I sometimes think that other people might easily dismiss In Touch as being like US especially since they sometimes feature the same celebs and are right next to each other on newstands. In Touch keeps you "in touch" with celebrities and their important/interesting stories happening week to week with their lives. But you don't feel like a stalker or something reading this magazine as I have read other people comment on US. In Touch always stays a safe distance from celebs personal lives and do not cross the line with their articles and no matter who or what article is being written In Touch keeps up a respectful and tasteful point of view about the subject/celebrity at hand. And they also talk about important things in the public eye, such as in this weeks issue these are a few of the stories: In the People in the News section: Cynthia Nixon's brand new life - this article is talking about how Cynthia has now found love and happiness in her life and her lover is a woman. I had no clue about this till reading the article. The article just tells the straight up facts, a quote from one of Cynthia's friends saying "She is totally in love and has nothing to hide. She has two beautiful kids, money in the bank, an incredible career, an Emmy for that career, and now a girlfriend. So for Cynthia, life couldn't be better and she wants to share her happiness with the world!", and nothing bad is said in the article.. as you can tell, quite the opposite. This is the way In Touch handles itself - it tells the facts and is more about happy things in celebs lives and less about the worse. But what I meant before is it talks about even no celeb issues as in this next story in People in the News: *under the Survivors heading* Montana Plane Crash Miracle - about a man and woman that were at first presumed dead in a plane crash, but the woman, Jodee Hogg managed to free herself from the plane's wreckage and then free fellow parks co-work Matthew Ramige. They stayed with anthor fellow passanger while he died and then left to get help and walked two and a half miles - and Matthew had a broken back and burns. It's really amazing. Kelly Ripa's advice for working moms Is Joaquin still mourning his brother? Prince Harry Gets Serious Mary Kay defends her Crime There is a cover story about J.Lo and Jennifer Garner and what J.Lo thinks about "Bennifer 2" and is she still in love with Ben. But even that is handled respectfully and the closest thing that it gets to sensationalizing it is a page entitled Battle of the Jens but it is more in fun than anything and that is plainly obvious. Here is a few more headings of articles within the mag - I think they are pretty self explanatory so I'm just going to list them: Can You Be Friends with Your Lover's Ex? - Three's not a crowd for Renee, Jack and his former wife, Meg. Fashion Trauma - Even Celebs Strike Out, But Can These Oops Outfits Be Saved? Why Chip and Kim Had to Win $1 Million At Home with Kelly Osbourne - Her Pink Paradise Jerry's Favorite Food Stop - Crossing Jordan star Jerry O'Connel takes In Touch to Carney's in LA The 10 Sexiest Men of the Season - It's raining men this autumn, with Hollywood hunks strutting their stuff all over the big and small screens. What makes them the best? She's a Plus-Size Model and Proud! - America's Next Top Model Toccara is happy just the way she is. Fatherhood Changed My Life! - Mark Wahlberg talks about his journey from crotch grabbing bad boy to devoted dad Is Tyra the next Oprah? And several more. I especially like the section: Is It True? - The Real Story Behind the Hottest Gossip. You can read this and know that what is being told is the truth. I have noticed that way more celebrities open up and allow In Touch to have interviews and tell them the first hand facts than *other* magazines. Also featured in this issue is an article on Kevin Costner's wedding and the reception to be fair last weeks focused more on his wedding and this one more the reception. And it featured different pics/angles than last week's so it was not recycled material. Is Katie's Wedding Dream Finally Coming True? - Now that her boyfriend's divorce is final, America's favorite sweetheart is free to tie the knot and she couldn't be happier! (talking about Katie Couric if you didn't know) Nicole (Kidman) - Pretty in Pink - a look at Nicole in a chic pink outfit and how to copy it for less. The shirt and skirt they pick and the accessories are quite cute and all together cost 240 dollars which is really not bad, especially considering that is shirt, skirt, ring, and shoes total. The average well to do person could afford that if they wanted to. And in every issue is: The Stars Above - Horoscope Time to Relax - Crossword Puzzle Best of the Week - new movies at the theater, on dvd, music and tv Last Words - random funny celeb quotes I've said a pretty good bit about this mag but just because I really do like it a lot and think there is pretty much something for everyone interest wise. Yes it is celeb orientated but the articles as you can see are of wide ranges of interest and topics to do with the celeb world and also non celeb world. I think they definitely want to appeal to a broader audience than US Weekly. I always look forward to buying this magazine and learning the new info on my favorite celebs and sometimes non favorite celebs because the articles are so interesting. I will admit that other reviewers have put me off of subscribing to the magazine because of the poor service of arrival of the magazine in that means. So for now I'll just stick to the newstands especially seeing as how my Allure and Glamour are both late this month but that is an entirely different issue.. But to sum this up In Touch is the perfect price. I mean the only thing better would be if they went down to 99 cents an issue. lol The articles are interesting and well informed and the editiors and journalists seem to have a respect and caring for their subject matter that other magazines in this field. If you see In Touch on the newstands buy it once and just take it home and read it cover to cover and see if you like it. I'm willing to wager that you will. Written on September 6, 2004 Summary: You will never know when you're going to receive it I have subscribed to "In Touch" since September last year and it's time to renew, but I'm not goint to....because this megazine is never arrived on time (at least 5 of them just failed to arrive), I don't know wether i should wait for it or call customer service. I would go to the store and buy it instead because the megazine itself is very entertaining. |
