How can they possibly warrant the need for a DVD of this magazine? I answered all the questions on the commercial, making me an instant A List celeb!

This week: How we lost our Xmas flab!
Wasn't flab good before Christmas, or Xmas as they put it?

I still haven't watched my Katie and Pete D.V.D from OK - I never knew Heat had theirs too. I love their 'sod the diet' covers - anyone over a size 10 papped eating a rice cake is suddenly a hero.

I love their 'sod the diet' covers Or to put it another way their "pictures that we used to show a few years ago that show celebs looking a bit fat but which since we got blamed for making young girls anorexic we're not allowed to criticise them for any more so we'll say stuff like "good for Charlotte Church sticking it to all those skinny celebs" whilst actually just highlighting how big her arse and thighs are now" covers.

I have done quite well in not buying heat this year but I was working late ontuesday and it was staring at me before i got on the train.
So so annoying firstly we got the Jade story and a 'heartfelt' letter from her to all her fans- I threw up a little. then i was confronted with Danielle who apparently was deep in tought over her relationship with terry. 'deep in tought'? that girl never had a thought in her life what a load of rubbish.
Then the main interview was with Jodie Marsh who frankly is such a waste of oxygen already I really begrudge the cutting down of trees so her over lip lined face can adorne magazines.

Having read everything else this week I thought I'd see if Heat had redeemed itself. Uh, no. More circles showing celebs with fat bits and the like but the worst... the main interview is with Fiona patronising Phillips. It's like trying to see how far they can push people before they have no readers at all. Well, that's their last chance with me!

Even i didn't buy it this week. I brought Star and More.
Both hideously disapointing. More's sex tips were lost on me.

Theres some kind of Heat countdown on the Hits right now. In between the videos theres clips of the Heat staff talking. One has just been talking about myths surrounding Heat, which must have been made up on the spot because who would actually think that Dermot O'Leary actually worked in the office to write his column or that the Heat staff were all size 0. I was just thinking its no myth that you're all a bunch of bitter bettys though.

A friend of a friend is one of the staff writers at Heat, and she's a fairly big girl. Apparently the office is populated mostly by gays and women (what a shocker) and they do sit around doing arse all a lot of the time, which as we all know does encourage the eating of snacks. She is very lovely, though. Theres some kind of Heat countdown on the Hits right now. In between the videos theres clips of the Heat staff talking.

She is very lovely, though. I used to work in the same building as the Heat lot and they all used to swan around reception in "high fashion" outfits not looking like they were doing very much. The ones on show all semed quite thin, but this was a few years ago and the media whore that is Mark Frith was always getting the lift in a look at me way instead of climbing the short walk to their 2nd floor offices. Maybe they all started taking the lifts? My job was at the much more refined Bookseller which sounds quite like working in libraries in the library thread - we got lots of free proofs which was great - makes me resent paying for books now and having to read them when they're published like everyone else.

I always buy Heat, even though it's shit, because there is always something inadvertently amusing in it.
This week there is one of those 10 questions things with Davina McCall, and one of her answers made me snort with laughter.
Heat - Who did you last receive a text from and what did it say?
Davina - From Fearne Cotton saying, "U rawk!" We're going out partying tonight. She's my protegee - I love her!
I don't what amuses me more, the text speak, the fact that Davina and Fearne go drinking together, or the fact Davina has a protegee to share her wisdom with.

They're in trouble for giving away stickers, one of which seems to pick fun at Harvey (aka Jordan's first born) and his disability.
Nice to see editorial judgment is alive and well...

I normally pride myself on my ability to accept jokes that sail close to the wind and I try not to get too bothered by someone poking fun at minorities but this was kind of a bit much.
So I called them Nazi's and asked them to take me of the mailing list for their website. I kind of wish I had a subscription so I could cancel it.

I thought it was tasteless when I saw it. I don't think Jordan would have had anything to do with it. It looks more like an office joke which really shouldn't have gone any further.

Nevermind Jordan, what the fook is Our Girl Kerry Katona going to say about this? There's been a bit of a media storm this week over Heat magazine's controversial stickers I said to our Mark "Why have they got Jordan's half caste mong kid on there when they haven't got any of me high on coke?". He didn't reply because he face down on the floor with an empty bottle of vodka. I said to Max last night "If Molly was a mong kid would that mean extra cash from the mags?" He's got a mong kid himself and said calling them mong kids was wrong but I don't go along with all that PC stuff!That would be the first draft and it would be edited into: My heart goes out to Jordan this week. The way she deals with the her disabled kiddy is enough to award her Mum Of The Year, which I've won the last 19 years. I know what it's like to be left to bring up kids on your own after Bryan left me for that bitch from Neighbours and Harvey's father doesn't care at all, just like Bryan, but I'm not allowed to talk about that for legal reasons. I said to our Mark "what would we do if Our New BabyTM was disabled" and our Mark just patted me on the tummy and said "We'd love her even more Kerry".

From heat:
This week heat included 50 free stickers with the magazine. One of these was a head shot of Harvey Price, son of Katie Price (aka Jordan) with the words "Harvey wants to eat me!"
It was never our intention to cause offence to Harvey's family and friends nor to you, our readers. In particular, it was never our aim to make fun of Harvey's disabilities.
We now accept that that the decision to include this sticker was a mistake and we recognise that it has caused offence, not only to Katie and Peter Andre, but to a number of readers. Immediately following publication we apologised unreservedly to Katie and Peter. We wish to apologise publicly to Harvey, Katie and Peter for any embarrassment and distress caused.
Er... so it wasn't making fun of his disabilities, it was just making fun of him being fat? Oh thats okay then.

Who wants a sticker?
