Entertainment Weekly is an American magazine, published by Time Inc., that covers film, television, music, Broadway theatre, books and popular culture. Different from celebrity-focused publications like Us Weekly, People (a sister magazine to EW), and In Touch Weekly, EW primarily concentrates on entertainment media news and critical reviews. And unlike Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, which are aimed at industry insiders, EW targets a more general audience.
Four years after rapping her way to a Grammy nomination with ”Ladies Night” (featuring Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott), this New York City radio deejay releases her Latin-flavored hip-hop debut CD. Martinez opens up on the emotional ”Every Little Girl,” and ”Coast 2 Coast” with Wyclef Jean is catchy. But Up Close hosts more guests than a DJ Clue mix tape (Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z), making it anything but personal.
