Zoo Magazine 10-16 October 2008 Megan Fox Gemma Atkinson Imogen Thomas SKU 1512

Original Zoo Magazine dated 10-16 October 2008, packed with the magazine’s characteristic late-2000s mixture of glamour, celebrity coverage, football, motorsport, comedy, cars, entertainment and general men’s lifestyle features.

This issue is built around Zoo’s large “Hot List 100” countdown, promoted prominently across the gold-and-red front cover. The cover features a selection of well-known glamour, entertainment and celebrity names including Megan Fox, Gemma Atkinson, Cheryl Cole, Katie Price, Abbey Clancy, Jennifer Ellison and Imogen Thomas, alongside the magazine’s countdown of notable women from the period.

Inside, the photographed contents pages show a particularly varied issue. Major features include Imogen Thomas, a large Hot List 100 feature, Simon Pegg vs Ricky Gervais, Alan Partridge / Steve Coogan, Lewis Hamilton, Johnny Herbert, football coverage involving Theo Walcott, and a substantial look at cars from the Paris Motor Show.

The sports section includes football and motorsport material, including coverage of Steven Gerrard, Theo Walcott, England and the Home Nations, while the news pages include entertainment, film, television and topical stories. The issue also contains the familiar Zoo regulars such as gadgets, jokes, letters, reviews, style and grooming, television listings and the Zoo Office Cam section.

A major part of this particular issue is the Hot List 100 countdown, which runs across a substantial multi-page feature and ranks actresses, models, singers, television personalities and glamour models. Photographed pages show names including Sarah Harding, Evangeline Lilly, Katie Perry/Katy Perry and Amanda Righetti, amongst others, making this an especially interesting period issue for collectors of late-2000s celebrity and glamour magazines.

The magazine provides a strong snapshot of British popular culture in October 2008, combining celebrity personalities, Premier League football, Formula One, comedy, television, glamour photography and contemporary cars.
