Questions to ask:

1. How does this article differ from the usual celebrity and gossip features? Does this article elevate itself from the typical celebrity and gossip feature?
   
2. How does the writer hold the reader's interest about a subject matter that is over exposed? 
   
3. How does the writer appeal to readers who are not admirers or sympathizers of this celebrity?
   
4. What voice does the writer use and does it work for the magazine's target audience?
