OK! Magazine: A Critical Approach

OK! magazine reputes to be "The Magazine The Stars Trust."

This claim raises several elementary questions.

First, who are these "stars" who supposedly trust OK!?* Can we provide an accurate rendering of what constitutes celebrity in a world obsessed by the seemingly fleeting and mundane? If we accept the recognition of an individual as a celebrity as a transitory concept, can a traditional media format remain an effective journalistic force?

Second, which definition of "trust" do the editors of this periodical employ? Does the concept of Trust still hold meaning in a post-modern age? When evaluated in the Freudian mode, we must as ourselves: does Trust even matter? Everybody is going to touch your bits and pieces eventually--why then even pretend Trust exists? (This leads naturally into the immense question of Trust in the Existentialist Society, a thesis to be presented in later investigations concerning the landmark publication Us Weekly.)

I have formulated several hypotheses regarding these questions:

1. Celebrity, if accepted as a transitory concept of identification, inherently renders publications such as OK! without a firm foundation of being. Therefore, OK! does not exist.
2. Trust, when considered in light of a post-modern paradigm, can be nothing less than a societal construct. The implications of this assessment are wide-ranging. Clothing, for example, would become optional.

Examining the validity of these hypotheses is an exhaustive and painstaking pros--
