Ypulse Monthly Teen Mag Roundup
Posted by casey on 09-12-2008
The October issue of Cosmo Girl features Mila Kunis, who used to star on teen favorite "That '70s Show," and is now transitioning into movies with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." She talks about her early years as a teenage actress and her longtime boyfriend Macaulay Culkin. For another dose of mid-90s TV stars, Joshua Jackson discusses his old show ("Dawson's Creek") and new show ("Fringe") and old girlfriend (Katie Holmes) and new girlfriend (Diane Kruger).
The magazine explores the myth that you can tell if someone has an eating disorder based on appearances online. It also features the cast of The N's "Student Body," a reality show where 11 teens competed to get in shape. Cosmo Girl partnered with The Princeton Review to come up with the best 100 colleges for women, and they interviewed Diane English, director of "The Women," on how to break into such a tough business.
Seventeen snagged stars from the two biggest shows on TV, "Ugly Betty's" America Ferrera and "Gossip Girl's" Penn Badgley. Both talk about their significant others and famous costars. Because this month is the "makeover issue," the mag has all kinds of "change your look, change yourself" info – beauty advice, figure-flattering pointers, skin perfecters, even "makeunders." Seventy eight percent of girls say the fit of their clothes directly influences how they feel about their bodies – which I find very interesting and also personally true – also body expert Jessica Weiner weighs in.
Seventeen has an ultimate college guide, too, but instead of enlisting industry experts, they have 15 girls at 15 different campuses blogging about what college life is really like. If there are any teens in your life, direct them to Seventeen.com where they can sign up for a college tuition sweepstakes. Plus, everything you need to know about breasts and stories from victims of sexual assault.
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, best friends and budding stars who are sure to have countless covers in their future, grace the front of the fall issue of Teen. Selena overs a sneak peek to her new movie out called "Another Cinderella Story." Also included is a preview of the upcoming "Harry Potter."
Lots of fall fashion coverage, including how to incorporate the menswear trend in a flirty, feminine way, where to find bags, boots and big watches without breaking the bank. Plus, as a self-admitted sale addict, I want to pick up this issue just for their "secret to scoring celeb-worthy style" with secondhand clothing and accessories.
Zac Efron snags the spot as the very first boy-only cover of Teen Vogue. Whoo hoo, Zefron! It's the annual "Young Hollywood" issue, so you can also expect profiles on Kate Mara, Leighton Meester, Elle Fanning (little sis of Dakota), the boys of "90210," and more. Other highlights include an exposé on teen cosmetic surgery and healthy eating gone too far.
