OK! is a British weekly magazine, specialising in celebrity news. In 2005, an American version was launched, followed by an Indian edition in May 2006 and a Spanish language version in Mexico in 2006 and Bulgarian language version in 2007.

Recently, OK! was awarded £1,033,156 in a lawsuit. OK! had exclusive rights to the wedding of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, but its rival Hello! magazine, published pictures as well, so OK! sued.

OK! is one of the most popular celebrity gossip magazines in the UK. A new issue is released every Wednesday. The magazine itself also has another inner mag called Hot Stars, which it has been said is similar to rival magazine Heat.

The front cover of OK! magazine tends to focus on British celebrities and occasionally Hollywood personalities. In 2005 its biggest cover stars were Jordan, Peter André, Kerry Katona and Victoria Beckham.

The magazine tends to feature exclusive interviews and personal revelations from celebrities including engagements and pregnancies. In 2005 celebrity pregnancies were revealed by Jordan and Peter, Steven Gerrard and Alex Curran. Stars such as Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton and Andy Scott-Lee announced their engagement with exclusive deals with OK! magazine.

The magazine has a usual policy of publishing only positive celebrity profiles, but in a 2007 interview with Britney Spears, Spears' behavior was so erratic that OK! decided to break this policy.[1]

OK! is most famous for its coverage of celebrity nuptials. Its biggest scoops were Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, David and Victoria Beckham, Jordan and Peter André, Ashley Cole and Cheryl Tweedy. In October 2005 three major celebrity weddings took place on the same day — Jordan and Peter, Kate Garraway and Derek Draper, Samia Ghadie and property developer Matthew Smith. OK! covered them all over separate issues. The biggest wedding of the three (Jordan and Peter) was covered over two bumper issues. The same happened for the wedding of Ashley & Cheryl Cole wedding as well as Christina Aguilera's wedding. OK! devoted an issue with photos of Tony Parker and Eva Longoria's wedding.
