The magazine is known for its tongue-in-cheek humour and its coverage of the Singapore entertainment scene, and also features regional and international entertainment stories and celebrity features, such as interviews with Hollywood, Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Korean stars. There is usually a main feature story, which often has an interview with a celeb and photos. The main sections of the magazine include “See & Do”, which has celebrity news and gossip, “Movies”, which contains reviews and film features, and “Eat & Drink”, a large food section with reviews, new openings and recipes. Other sections include “Lifestyle”, “Travel”, "Home Matters “The Feelgood Page”, “What They Never Taught You In School” and “Shirtless Guy Of The Week.” The stars who have been featured on the covers of the magazine range from Singaporean artistes such as Zoe Tay, Rebecca Lim, Joanne Peh, Elvin Ng and Tay Ping Hui, and Singapore personalities like Joseph Schooling, to regional and Hollywood stars such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Gosling and Johnny Depp. Celebrity interviews are sometimes themed, or presented in an unusual fashion. For example, an interview with actress Shu Qi was peppered with photographs of her facial expressions when she was answering questions. Another issue had local blogger Xiaxue Photoshop her own photos. There are also annual themed issues such as "30 Sexy Stars Under 30", the "Swimsuit Issue" and the oversized "Big Issue", the first of which featured Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005 film). International blockbusters are also often featured as cover stories, with exclusive interviews with the cast of movies such as Superman Returns, Spider-Man 3 and X-Men: Days of Future Past. (en)
