[edit] Content
Inside each issue of CosmoGIRL!, there is an interview and photo shoot with a current celebrity, a fashion section highlighting various spreads of trends and clothes, and CG! Pulse interviewing celebrities other than the ones on the cover. A monthly freebie calendar allows readers to win various prizes by typing in a code to enter for a chance to win a prize on their website. There is also beauty advice, which usually consists of help with skincare, hair and makeup products. The love life section has advice and stories of how readers fell in love, usually rounded off with a lesbian story for all different types of girls.
The guys section usually has advice and a locker pin-up of a current male celebrity or band posing for them and filling out a questionnaire, previously christened "CG! Eye Candy". The title was dropped from the actual poster in the June/July 2007 issue. CosmoGIRL! health talks about nutrition, keeping healthy, and a monthly workout. Each month has various contests which the reader can enter in online. At the end of each issue there are embarrassing stories, "Freaky Deaky" (a section of scary real life stories), and manga comic featuring CG!.
Covers frequently feature two stars at the same time, like September 2007's choice of High School Musical stars Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron, as well as the double flip cover in February 2008 featuring Jessica Alba and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.

Project 2024 is about helping young girls realize their dreams and has been supported by senator Hillary Clinton, fashion designer Michael Kors, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, Disney Channel stars Emily Osment, Zac Efron and Myspace creator Tom Anderson.
