The way celebrities are portrayed in heat are represented negatively so that the they can feed the minds towards the audience to create drama for entertainment. This makes the celebrities appear controversial and negatively due to the personal views of heat's audience.

3) How are women represented on the cover of Heat? Think about both images and cover lines here.

In the cover of heat, women are presented as unreliable and untruthful. For example the use of Victoria Beckham's image on the front cover of the magazine is quite controversial. This is because she is presented as reckless and out of controll because she is shown being presented as a liar. This is because the magazine reinforces the  text liar to show that thy are willing to see the downfall of Victoria Beckham.

For example the use of advertising jewellery, holidays, and spas shows that tatlers audience is directed towards working class women that has a high income and a high status. This is because tatler promote s a variety of expensive range of products leading to there magazines being marketed towards women. Whilst on the other hand, Heat is presented and directed towards an audience in the middle class or mainly working class. This is because heat only provides negative and mis conducting information towards a large range of audience to not benefit information about whilst not providing marketing products for women in that status.
