NW (New Weekly) magazine is a weekly magazine (typically 110 pages) published in Australia that offers articles about media celebrities, Hollywood gossip, clothing, makeup, dieting, entertainment, and people in crime. It has an irreverent tongue-in-cheek tone. The current editor is Zoë Barnes (Amy Sinclair is on maternity leave).

Typical articles include:

  • Who may or not be pregnant based on 'baby bumps' or photographs of people holding their stomachs in a certain way
  • Celebrities diets, who is losing weight and who is gaining
  • Stars without makeup, Stars with too much makeup
  • Stars with cellulite
  • Who is planning 'secret' weddings, or secret divorce agreements
  • Who is dating who (or maybe that should be whom, or dating both who and whom)
  • Which stars are currently suffering from anorexia
  • Bikini Bodies

Current stars and celebrites in the magazine frequently include:

NW magazine can be used to track the lifestyles of famous celebrites, it is often humorous to read old copies from a few years previous, and see who is "in", who is "out", and which "healthy" relationship is doomed to failure 2 months later.

The magazine also includes a gloriously large crossword puzzle ("Crozzle") that takes many hours to complete (if at all), with a $1000 price draw.
