HELLO!: 

HELLO! My absolute favourite magazine is Hello! Every time we go to the UK, I buy loads of them. Since they are an English magazine I thought I could do a special section on Hello! I like Hello because it doesn't intrude on peoples privacy. It’s more interviews and photo shoots . Its always full of nice stuff and not paparazzi trying to catch celebrities unaware or in embarrassing situations. Most of the pictures are from photo shoots and red carpet events where they are posing.
