Us Weekly

Us Weekly is a weekly celebrity and entertainment magazine headquartered in New York City. It began as a bi-weekly called Us in 1977, launched by the New York Times Company. After a sale in 1980, Wenner Media acquired it in 1986, shifting to a weekly format in 2000 and rebranding as Us Weekly. American Media Inc. (now A360 Media) purchased the title in 2017 for an estimated $100 million, prompting editor James Heidenry's departure and Jennifer Peros taking over as editor-in-chief. Dylan Howard, A360 Media's chief content officer, oversees the publication.

The magazine covers celebrity relationships, fashion, beauty, and entertainment news. By 2017, its paid circulation exceeded 1.95 million copies weekly, with a total readership over 50 million. Its style evolved dramatically from the original format, which ran from 1977 to 2000 as a monthly industry magazine akin to Premiere or Entertainment Weekly. In 2000, it pivoted to its current focus on celebrity news and style, competing directly with People magazine.

The website Usmagazine.com launched in fall 2006. It features breaking celebrity news blogs, exclusive photos, red carpet galleries, videos, quizzes, and polls. In 2023, the site underwent a digital redesign for improved mobile responsiveness. A weekly podcast, Us Weekly's The Get, debuted in 2024, focusing on celebrity beauty and wellness. The brand also maintains active social media channels on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.[edit]
