Who read Celeb Staff Magazine?
Celeb Staff featured on TMZ
Despite its name, the magazine was not for celebrities, but for their staff: assistants, housekeepers, nannies, chefs, butlers, etc. The publication's main purpose was to arm those in private service with tools they needed to perform better at work.

Archived website
Celeb Staff Magazine also had a website, which was located online at www.CelebStaff.com. The platform is no longer active, and that could be because the company took too much of a gossipy slant instead of an educational one.
In the News

Reviews of the periodical
Archived review
While the personal assistants to celebrities in Los Angeles and New York City may have been slightly amused by Celeb Staff Magazine, not everyone was. The archived review above cuts into the publication, calling it "absolutely terrible."
The team behind the magazine had their hearts in the right place, but perhaps they were in over their heads. It's very difficult to create enough content to release a magazine twice a month, and the audience wasn't big enough to make the periodical profitable.
