The magazine is published by Blackwell's Celebrity Service, which initially had offices in New York and Hollywood but later expanded to include London, Paris and Rome.[5] Subscriptions to Celebrity Service cost $12.50 a month, for which the customer receives daily bulletins on celebrity movements. Alternatively, they can phone at any time for "special inside information".[6] The bulletin is now available via the Celebrity Service website.[7]

The magazine's longtime editor, Bill Murray, died in his office of an apparent heart attack on March 2, 2010.[8]
