Dumped on live TV by boyfriend Eddie Murphy who's subsequently denied that he's the father of her unborn child and is demanding DNA tests. As if that wasn't bad enough, Mel's LA home is now under 24-hour police protection after a group of Eddie Murphy fans camped outside shouting insults and abuse.

Marcia Cross is under doctors' orders to put her feet up. The Desperate Housewives actress is pregnant with twins (not easy at any age, but when you're 44 - sheesh). Production on the hit show has moved to her LA home to ease the strain..

Congratulations also to Paula Radcliffe who gave birth to a baby girl, Isla, on January 17th at Princess Grace Hospital. Says Paula 'the birth certainly wasn't easy but she is well worth it'.

The magazine tends to feature special interviews and personal experiences of celebrities which includes engagements and pregnancies. In 2005, celebrity pregnancies which were covered were those of Peter and Jordan, Alex Curran and Steven Gerrard. Stars like Liberty X singer, Andy Scott-Lee and Michelle Heaton announced their engagement with special deals with OK! magazine.

The magazine has a common policy of publishing only optimistic celebrity profiles, but in a 2007 interview with Britney Spears, Spears' actions were so erratic that OK! decided to break this rule. Along with Britney, OK! also talked to her mother, Lynne Spears and her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, on the subject of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. This was the best selling copy of 2007.

Just recently, in August 2008, Britney Spears did an interview with OK! at her residence and it was observed that Britney's old unpredictable behaviour was behind her, and she conversed during the interview that she is 'happy, healthy and eager for the future'. The interview also had pictures which showed Britney and her children.

OK! is most well-known for its reporting of celebrity nuptials. OK! is also one of the most liked magazines with details that talk about the most recent celebrity gossips. Its largest scoops were Catherine Michael Douglas and Zeta-Jones, Jordan and Peter André, David and Victoria Beckham, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline and Ashley and Cheryl Cole.

OK magazine is a huge phenomenon around the world and specializes in celebrity gossip and news. Since launching in April 1993 in the UK, the magazine has over 30 million readers and appears in 19 different countries. Some of these countries include India, Spain, Greece and Bulgaria. The magazine was originally intended to be marketed and sold monthly. Due to its high success in 2006 it was decided to publish it weekly. The magazine also has two other magazines inside it called hot stars and OK USA. You can also read OK online, and follow the magazine with twitter and face book. With more people, using their computers and this type of technology to keep up to date with news and gossip, this was a good step for the magazine to take.

OK Magazine is most well known for its exclusive interviews and weddings. The magazine also is very popular for reporting engagements and pregnancies of the top celebrities. Often the stars will sign exclusive contracts with OK magazine, ensuring they have the gossip and news before any other magazine. Some of the most featured celebrities are Jordan aka Katie Price, Peter Andre, Kerry Katona and the Beckhams, these all feature regularly in the magazine.

The magazine had a policy for many years to only publish positive celebrity profiles. Brittany Spears changed that when her interview with the magazine in 2007 went so badly wrong. Brittany's behavior was classed as so erratic that the magazine decided to break their policy and publish it. OK magazine then went on to interview her mother and sister and were the first magazine to publish the news regarding Jamie Lynn being pregnant. Brittany went onto do a second interview in 2008; she discussed her erratic behavior and said it was all behind her, which lead to a much more positive interview being published.

OK magazine is most famous for its celebrity weddings. Its biggest celebrity weddings to date are, Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas, Victoria and David Beckham and Jordan and Peter Andre. The magazine is also well known for covering more than one wedding on the same day, and has in the past been able to cover and publish up to 3 celebrity weddings in one edition. Jade Goody is the most featured celebrity she did many interviews and photo shoots before her tragic death in 2009. She holds the record for being on the front cover every week during 2009. There were 2 issues following her wedding. The magazine also published editions, with her on the front page for her christening, her tribute special, and one after her death.

The magazine is not without controversy and over the last few years it has pushed the boundaries. It made the decision in 2009 to publish an official tribute edition for Cancer stricken Jade Goody, even though she was still alive. Months later, the magazine did the same thing with Michael Jackson, showing graphic photos of his resuscitation whilst strapped to the hospital trolley. Some readers classed both of these editions as tasteless and unnecessary but the majority still bought the magazine, which means OK published what their readers wanted.
