General Comments
Loaded was the original men's mag and is still the best by miles. It's far more clever than its dull rivals, with a sharper humour and tongue-in-cheek approach. The latest issue has a brilliant feature on scooter gangs, sexy pics of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Daniella Westbrook and two girls billed as 'Almost Famous' (Emily Crompton and Princess Tamara - both are stunning). There's also great interviews with Ashley Cole, Ben Stiller and Joey Pantoliano from The Sopranos, and a hilarious feature called 'The Steven Seagal awards' on the 'best of last year's worst films'. The new men's weeklies are positively embarassing by comparison, with their 'men's mag by numbers' approach.
