We Love Pop: ♥

Being ludicrously out of touch really busy recently, Fagburn was completely oblivious to the launch of a brand new pop magazine, We Love Pop.
Sorry, I can't be buggered to paste in that ♥.
"GOSSIP," it promises, "FASHION, BOYS UNCENSORED!"
Obviously with the likes of Rihanna, Justin and Glee in the first issue it will only be bought by teenage girls.
And pervy gay men.
There have been the inevitable comparisons with Smash Hits
- inevitable as that's the touchstone brought up whenever a new pop magazine launches.
Ver Hits key secret ingredients was a willingness to rip the piss out of pop stars' pretensions (and stupidity), and an ironic sense of humour that made it appeal to your actual grown-ups, too.
But these days The Gays and the grown-ups may be happy enough getting their fix of that from Popjustice.
Pleasingly we see We Love Pop is edited by Malcolm Mackenzie - a nicer man you couldn't hope to meet - so we wish it well.
And that's an official Fagburn POPFACT!
