This Month's Magazines: Pippa Middleton and Gwyneth Paltrow Cover Girls/ Updated

Posted on by

Here is the second in my monthly round-up, for July 2011.

Tatler has joined Pippa Middleton’s fan club and put her on the cover, the article on her inside weighs up her possible future husbands, and has a very good article on her and lots of pictures. It also let’s you know that Pippa does pilates at Pilates on the Go in Parson’s Green, and has a testimonial on their website.

Tatler also give the low-down on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s inner circle, who’s in and who’s out. Athina Onassis also has an article on her and multibillion-pound colossus Glencore has a four page article on them. Nathaniel Rothschild is one of their investors.

Tory Burch talks about what inspires her, Claudia Winklemann writes about her hatred of summer, Orlando had advice for your gap yah, Annabel Rivkin slams Made In Chelsea for making posh people look bad, and for not being posh at all.

One of the best article is their annual 100 most invited; The Middleton’s top the list, Natalie Massenet, Colin Firth, Nat Rothschild, Michael McIntyre, Dasha Zhukova and Liz Murdoch all make the list.

Tatler also has their first ever Hunting, Shooting & Fishing guide. Here at Frost we don’t hunt, but we love clay pigeon shooting.

Vanity Fair: Emma Stone is on the cover and talks about wanting to be a ‘covered up’ actress, but is on the cover in a bikini. Stone comes across well in the interview and states that she doesn’t want to make a career out of mere sex appeal. Ted Danson goes out to lunch, James Wolcott on Dominique Strauss-Kahn, There is a long form article on Groupon, one of the biggest growing business in history which will soon be worth $20 Billion.

There is an article to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11, there is also a very good article on Prince Andrew and his many troubles, but does let you know that he is The Queen’s favorite child, Elephants – which are sadly being hunted in their tens of thousands per year, and Catch 22 writer Joseph Heller. Jerry Lewis does the Proust Questionnaire.

Vanity Fair Jewellery has a supplement with a naked Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover. It has lots of good articles on the history of Gold, The Windsor’s crown jewels, Daphne Guinness and a calender with Paltrow, Thandie Newton, Natalia Vodianova, Olivia Inge, Olivia Palermo, Uma Thurman and Poppy Delevigne.

Marie Claire has Audrey Tautou on the cover, the shy actress manages to give nothing away in the subsequent interview. George Clooney talks about his activism in South Sudan, there are wedding night confessions, a good article on women who earn money from blogging, a piece on the rise of Posh as Toff mania grips Britain.

There are QR codes abound in Marie Claire, exciting if you have a smart phone,

There is lots of fashion of course, it lets you nail your festival look, there is an article on couples who fight over wardrobe space, an article on love addiction and JK Rowling’s life story. Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright also gives an insight into her world and Megan Fox gives her beauty secrets.

There is a free gift of lip gloss, but not if you are a subscriber. Bad form.

Vogue has Kate Moss AKA Mrs Jamie Hince on the cover and in a forties fashion spread inside, though nothing on her wedding (American Vogue have been given the rights) Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain and Lily Collins.

Jemima Khan writes about conquering her fear of flying to save a long distance relationship. Jemima is a very good writer. Miss V is as brilliant as ever, with lots of parties and pictures,

Of course there is lots of fashion and the forties look is in. Christopher Bailey talks about 10 years at Burberry and Mustique is the holiday destination of the year.

The girls of Downtown Abbey are in vogue and in couture, complete with interviews. There is also a tan special and Christa D’Souza on the quest of a perfect ponytail. Gemma Atterton gives her Style File and talks about how hard it is to find cloths to fit her curvy frame.

There is also 30,000 sex secrets and how to become red carpet glamorous, as well as an interview with the Inbetweener’s boys. Celia Walden interviews Rupert Grint and the stars spill their festival secrets.

A very good, fun edition with lots of fashion, stories, advice and fun.

 

 

 

Will Young officially opens Virgin London Marathon today! Support his ‘mankini bid’

Posted on by

Pop Star Will Young is running the Virgin London Marathon for Catch22, the local young people’s charity with a national reach, this Sunday (17 April 2011). He officially opened the marathon today!

So far the star, who recently said he would run in a mankini next year if he raised £40,000 for Catch22, has been training as far afield as Australia, North America, Africa and, most recently, with young people from Catch22 in Sheerness.

Will Young says: “Training across four continents for such a momentous run has been a real challenge, but one I am happy to embrace. I’ve met many young people at Catch22, such as the young people I trained with recently from Catch22 in Sheerness, who have overcome seemingly impossible situations. I always keep that in mind when the going gets tough in my training.”

Will is now calling on the public to sponsor him for the 26 mile long run across London this Spring.

The funds raised will go onto support Catch22’s work with young people facing difficult situations throughout the UK. They may be care leavers, NEET (Not in Education, Training or Employment), at risk of offending or young offenders.

Catch22’s programmes help young people find solutions that are right for them, whether it be helping a young person access training and education services, through housing support services, working with families at risk of breaking down, or running community sports and environmental activities to help those at risk of offending to engage with their communities.

Joyce Moseley, Catch22 chief executive, says: “At Catch22 we believe nothing is impossible. The funds raised by Will Young and our other runners will have a great impact on the lives of young people overcoming difficulties. Will Young is an inspirational ambassador for the charity and I hope people dig deep into their pockets to support him.”

The clock is ticking so don’t miss your chance to donate! Will has set up a Just Giving page so that you can help support Catch22. You can log on and donate to www.justgiving.com/Will-Young
