RICHARD SPENCER'S LIFE & STYLE BRINGS YOU AT HOME WITH NICOLE RICHIE & JOEL MADDEN

Or at Least Outside Their Home!

The hottest new trend in the celebrity weekly category is doing an “At Home” that really isn’t what an ”At Home” used to be.

In the old days, you would see glamorous pictures of the star’s homes as well as intimate interviews with the stars.

But today an “At Home” is basically an update of the star’s life — but that wouldn’t be nearly as compelling as a cover line.

Let’s be honest though!  All of those old fashioned “At Homes” are totally boring and the stars never reveal anything anyway!  So, if a celebrity weekly can get juicy tidbits on what’s happening in the lives of the stars, what’s wrong with that?

However, by the look of this cover, it doesn’t look like Life & Style is going to reveal any “details” on their lives “At Home!”  

You can tell by the dek, which screams “Plus! Exclusive Wedding Photos!”  Don’t be fooled.  These are photos of their friends wedding – not their own wedding!

And Nicole tells Life & Style how she lost the weight!  Is this a star that the reader wants to get weight loss tips from?  I don’t think so!

Overall the layout of this cover is a bit strange.  By placing Joel behind the logo and Nicole in front of the logo, I don’t believe this is really a picture of them standing next to each other.

Plus, the sultry picture of Audrina features the compelling cover line “Why Audrina posed naked.”  But again on the design front, the upc symbol is covering her vajajay!  How weird!  Also, did you notice that this week’s In Touchfeatures an inset of Audrina as well.

Bottom Line:  It’ll be a tough week for Life & Style!  In Touch and Star both came out swinging with stronger covers!
