Daily Star Sunday swaps Star World for Hot Celebs

Star World: renamed Hot Celebs

The Daily Star Sunday’s magazine is to be given a new name and a new look from Sunday.

The magazine, called Star World since the newspaper launched in September, has been renamed Hot Celebs. It will be edited by Martin Smith, who also edits the Daily Express Saturday magazine and Hot Stars, the celebrity magazine which comes with OK!

"Hot Celebs will feature brilliant celebrity interviews, news, gossip, fashion and style, plus TV listings, real-life stories, puzzles and Justin Toper’s stars," said Smith. "Together with the Daily Star Sunday, it will provide an unbeatable Sunday package."

Smith launched the original Daily Star Sunday magazine, but in recent weeks has concentrated on his two other editorships while staff at the Daily Star Sunday have produced the colour supplement.

He will use existing staff and freelances from his department to produce Hot Celebs. They will be joined by Greg Anderson, the number two on the OK! art desk, who has been appointed art editor of Hot Celebs.
