Pop Stars Cover the UK Glossies

The monthly glossies are hitting newstands again - yippee. And there are some interesting covers out there. While UK Vogue has chosen a model for the June issue (click HERE to see Angela Lindvall's cover) UK ELLE and UK Harper's Bazaar have turned to the pop starlet.
Kylie Minogue covers the June issue of ELLE, photographed by David Slijper. Normally I prefer ELLE's subscriber's covers, but this month the real gem in the newstand cover. I adore the shot of Kylie falling out of the hammock. And the pink background is a nice surprise, as ELLE tends to stick with blue or grey covers.


And Harper's have turned to Cheryl Cole for June. I'm not sure if Cheryl is famous outside of the UK yet, so if you're unsure of who she is here's a brief history.
She appears on a talent show, becomes a member of a girl band, marries a footballer, footballer has numerous affairs, goes solo, Simon Cowell takes her under his wing, she becomes a 'national treasure' and is now the most talked about (and some would argue overexposed) woman in Britain.
There are rumours that Cheryl will become a judge on the American X Factor, so I'm sure those of you in the US will know a lot more about her soon. Even if you don't want too.


Anyway, Alexi Lubomirski photographed her for Harper's and she looks very pretty in froffy nude pieces and Bruberry S/S. I'm so glad she finally got rid of the WAG hair. Her shoulder-length cut looks much better.

Which cover do you prefer this month? Are you a Camp Kylie or Team Cheryl? For me it's Kylie all the way.

A Different Side of Jen

I must admit, I'm quite bored of Jennifer Aniston. This is not because I dislike her, it's more because she's so overexposed you never get a break from her. I'm sure Jen has been on more covers of women's magazines than any other celebrity in the world (her tally of Grazia covers alone could beat off any competitor).
So it's not that I think she is boring. It's more that I'm just bored of seeing her. But the May UK cover of Harper's Bazaar does bring something new to the table, so I'm happy to see her on their cover.



Yes, it's still just Jen (complete with her trademark hair) in a girl-next-door tank-top. But there is something about the lighting of this cover - it's like a summer evening on the beach - that's so beautiful. It's one of my favourite Aniston covers for sure.
Although, saying that, I'd much rather read the feature about Kate and Mario having a ball, than Jen's "it's time for my rebirth" interview...

Are you loving the cover too?
