French term

revues de "people"

Non-PRO French to English Marketing
I'm tempted to say "gossip press" or "gossip magazines", but don't know if these imply the same class of people pictured in French magazines.

**Celebrity glossies Hello! and OK!*** have struck the second joint deal to share rights to wedding pictures in as many weeks, signalling the ending of excessive big money buy-ups at both magazines.

The two magazines have joined forces to cover TV comedian Vic Reeves' marriage to Nancy Sorrell this weekend, while last week they agreed to share pictures of Royle Family star Ricky Tomlinson's wedding.

As CMJ says, \"gossip magazine\" is another possibility, but I feel that this is pejorative. I don\'t think \"Hello\" magazine refers to itself as a \"gossip magazine\" any more than \"The Sun\" calls itself a \"rag\" ...

So it depends on the register of your text.
Peer comment(s):

neutral CMJ_Trans (X) : don't want to disagree but surely "people" magazines in France are as much about pop stars as royals so "society" is OTT in my view. I'd go for "gossip"

A magazine with Robbie Williams plastered all over it is still a "society magazine" as I understand it. Perhaps I'm wrong - we'll see what the others say.
agree Gordana Podvezanec

neutral Dylan Edwards : What is a society magazine? UK examples might be The Lady, Country Life, and there's Harper's Bazaar... But here I assume it's something more like Hello! - if not fanzines.

OK - you and CMJ_Trans have convinced me - thanks for your input, guys.

grand monde. Curieusement, elle n\'apparaît jamais dans les revues \" people \" qui envahissent les kiosques de l\'autre côté des Pyrénées. \" Si tu n\'en as pas envie, c\'est possible. Je suis partagée entre le fou rire et les larmes, enfin, un tel étalage de vulgarité me déconcerte. \"

In the article above, they are talking about a Spanish singer, Luz Casal and are referring to the \'prensa rosa\' in Spain, which includes magazines such as \'Hola\' - the French equivalent is \'Oh là\' I think and in the UK it\'s \'Hello\'. Actually, I think the term \'CELEBRITY GOSSIP MAGAZINES\' is also used quite a lot.

I think you can say \'celebrity magazines\', \'celebrity gossip magazines\' or \'celebrity glossies\' - there are around 9000 Google hits for \'celebrity magazines\',151 for \'celebrity gossip magazines\' and 55 for \'celebrity glossies\' if that is anything to go by. I must admit I have heard the first 2 more frequently than the third - but maybe this is a US/UK difference?
