Although it is celebrity-focused, the magazine is geared towards lifestyle trends, and bills itself on "helping readers incorporate" celebrity beauty, clothing and body trends into their own lifestyle. However, as of 2014 the focus has been more focused on celebrity news.[citation needed]
A German edition was published by the Bauer Media Group from May 2008 to July 2012.[3][4]
Its print edition ceased publication in June 2025, although its website continued to operate as part of the McClatchy Media Network.[5]
