Revealed: Grazia's 5 Rotating Cover Stories


Beautiful faces with their Grazia plotted dramas
Magazine juggernaut, but why does it irritate me? Hmmm. I am always uncomfortable with the eco-conscious/worthy real life stories sitting across from party profiles/cellulite cream adverts. And perhaps too much focus on cosmetic surgery and over-priced goods, not all women in their 30's are earning 100k a year.

My key issue though with Grazia is the rotation of the same five cover stories. In their end of year cover review, I counted that Angelina Jolie, Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman, Kylie, Posh, Paris and Jennifer Anniston were pretty much used in rotation, with some Madonna covers. Here is how the cover stars are cast:

1) Dark-lady-of-the night Ange who bullies Brad
2) Poor Single Jen, desperate for baby, can't get a man and wants Brad back
3) Kate Moss is looking Skanky and how does she get so lucky (they won't say it directly) and is her star fading?

4) Katie Holmes is being controlled by Aliens..
5) Posh-Fail
