Hellomagazine.ca is the official website of the weekly celebrity news magazine Hello! Canada, and Canada’s leading celebrity news site.[1] Started in 2006 to complement the magazine, the site is updated throughout the day, seven days a week.

[edit] History

Launched in June 2006, it is part of the larger Hello! Canada brand, but contains separate content to the weekly magazine, reporting celebrity news on a daily rather than weekly basis. Since it launched with the magazine's trademark bold colour palette it has undergone a redesign which has made it feel lighter and brighter. By January 2008 over 90,000 readers were using hellomagazine.ca. [2]

[edit] Content

The site provides readers, about half of whom are women under 34, with photos, news stories and video content in the following categories: actors and actresses, musicians, fashion and models, royalty and statesmen, celebrities and travel.[3]

Daily content on the hellomagazine.ca homepage covers established and up-and-coming Canadian celebrities. It also features comprehensive galleries of the main fashion shows, special events such as The Oscars, Toronto International Film Festival and the Genie Awards. It also contains an extensive list of quizzes on the rich and famous.

The horoscope section is provided by leading British astrologer Jonathan Cainer. Other content includes visual news updates (News In Pix) and profiles on musicians, actors and actresses and statesmen.

Online reader services include social bookmarking.
