History
Us Weekly is a celebrity magazine, originally founded in 1977 by The New York Times Company, and acquired by Wenner Media in 1986. The publication covers topics ranging from celebrity news and style, to the latest trends in fashion, beauty, and entertainment. Along with Jann Wenner, the minds currently in charge of Us Weekly are Editor in Chief Janice Min and Publisher Victoria Lasdon Rose. As of 2007, its circulation is over 1.85 million on average.
The magazine currently features a sharply different style from its original 1977-2000 format. Originally a monthly industry news and review magazine along the lines of Premiere or Entertainment Weekly, it switched format in 2000 to its current tabloid and celebrity gossip theme.
Usmagazine.com was launched in the Fall of 2006 and currently gets approximately two million unique visitors per month. In addition to features from the magazine, the site has a breaking celebrity news blog, exclusive photos, red carpet galleries from premieres and events, plus games, videos, quizzes and polls.
Us Weekly has several signature issues each year including the Hot Hollywood special issues, in the Spring and the Fall celebrating young Hollywood; the Best Bodies issue and the Best Makeovers issue.
