NOW was a British weekly entertainment magazine printed between 1996 and 2019.

History and profile

NOW was launched in late 1996 as a less serious, more gossip-oriented magazine aimed at women. A series of high-profile celebrity relationships, such as between

Big Brother and Pop Idol grew popular at just the right time to help fill pages. NOW was published by TI Media
.

It was a mix of celebrity news, gossip and fashion and was primarily aimed at women. It also featured movie and music reviews, real-life stories, shopping and style feature together with major celebrity interviews.

The magazine had a circulation of 196,726 copies in the second part of 2013.[1] Now's circulation fell to 126,921 in the second half of 2015.[2]

By 2019, circulation had fallen for five years in a row and the decision was taken to close the magazine on 2 April 2019.[3] The associated celebsnow.co.uk website continues.
