I was in a central London newsagents this afternoon, and saw the words: "Jade Goody Official Tribute Issue, 1981-2009". So of course I thought the poor girl was already dead.

No, she wasn't: OK Magazine had very tastefully jumped the gun. And it wasn't an accident, since the cover ("In Loving Memory") was simultaneously displayed on its website. I suppose the circulation guys were worried that they might lose a few sales in between her actual death and the magazine (issue number 666) appearing on the shelves. Best to be on the safe side, eh?

All of these Jade Goody threads do annoy me, but that was bang out of order of OK.

[PoizZoNxX]

Is it really issue number 666 lol?

[marriott0.01]

Wouldn't it be funny if she made a miraculous recovery!?

It says on the front cover, final words? She's not even dead, she could talk again! :@

for her, yes. for us, no.

[untrustus]

haha as if. if there was a heaven, she wouldn't be going to it.

[Caution]

it's sorta wrong for them to do that, but i don't think she'll be bothered.

lol@above.

[Samishlol]

She won't be bothered, she's going to be dead soon.

[Stefy09]

Is she gonna die or what

[tm]

She is going to die but it's in terrible thing to publish a tribute before she's gone.
The bit '1981-2009' is what got me.. that's such an awful thing to print.

This whole episode hasn't exactly been in the best of taste but I think this is yet another step too far.

[Inseriousity.]

They'll be at her funeral next :(

"Why were the guests wearing black?! It's soooo last year"

As you can see, I have a narrow view of these magazines because I refuse to read them.

[Twist]

If she died in 2010 or something they'd be screwed.

Ok, usually I moan about the people moaning, but this OK article is really stupid... Wait until she's passed away before passing out the memorials...

i seen the advert earlier and the 1981-2009 isn't on the front. they must have realised they'd went too far.

I weigh 280 lbs. of muscle. I was trained in Japan by some best masters in martial arts. I know everything from Okanawan Karate to Japanese Jujitsu. I can go to Japan anytime. If you live Japan, you should know that the Japanese fighters train with speed, agility, and accuracy. Even if I was 180lbs, I still would have the advantage over you.

Seems that guy is a pr0
Anyways tbh its a bit odd they used it as a issue when shes not dead, although its hit the top sales for OK mag so ye

[Jam]

Only 288 days at most to wait if we believe them then.

[flatface]

I bet it made her feel well bad :(

[kk.]

im pretty sure she allowed it?

Rofl ye I saw that one too.

You can rest assured that all she thought was "Wow, I'm on the front!".

[cocaine]

Sickipedia's going to have a field day..

[PoizZoNxX]

It's really harsh (as much as its funny) for them to do that, although I've took it as 1981 - 2009, as in birth date to death date it's probably meaning her life in pictures from them years and such, lol.

[CJW93]

Another meaningless magazine "special"

[MrGazet]

whoa it's a bit too far if u ask me.

[underscore]

What a coincidence it's issue 666!

[TAYLOOOOR1]

The more issues they sell with jade goody on the main page brings them more sales.

There aim is to try and use this story as long as possible so people keep buying the magazine.

They are using it for sale purposes :S

its stupid and pathetic..This should have been released when she actually dies...This is just getting the ok magazine more money..

Then when he does die theres another issue they can publish which brings them high sales.

:l

[--ss--]

Just lol.

Come on she isn't exactly that special so why is the media making a huge deal out of her death (which has not even come yet). There are hundreds of people dying of cancer every year and yet none of them get any special media attention. Honestly i'd rather buy a memorial issue for someone such as Heath Ledger than Jade goody as he actually had a decent courier. Jade to me seemed like a stupid cow who didnt deserve her fame. Sure she is dying of cancer and raising money for her kids, at first she deserved some sympathny but now its just a joke with her miliking it. Her children won't even need the 7 or 8 Mill she has made so far as many kids have to grow up with nothing. I'm sure her kids would be able to have a decent life with a 10th of the amount shes made so far.

:lIt's business mate.

[TAYLOOOOR1]

It's business mate.

i know but when it comes to a lady dying..Business shouldnt be the priority.


i suppose Ok magazine just keep on pestering them so jade goody will say something else then they can have another headline issue.

issue 665 said it was her last ever interview but in issue 666 they quote her ;ll

its just silly now.

She asked for the business though, I think she asked OK for some deals so she could get some money back to use for her family when she's gone. So they'll suck the juicy bits right out of Jade, with her permission. Even though this article is a bit too early :P Maybe they believed the idea of her less than 24 hours left was true? :P

[Bun]

wishful thinking?

[clarissa !!]

MAYBE SHE'LL MAKE IT INTO NEXT YEAR, thatd be funny.

[Mikey]

I find that quite sad of OK to do that. They should be ashamed of thsm selfs and at least should of waited until she passed away. Sick *******s.

[N-Dubz]

i dont understand the big deal LOL, i mean she's going to die in like a week there only publishing a magazine tribute for Jade Goody before every other magazine gets a chance!!!

+ it says 2009? its not got an EXACT date. oh well big drama 4 nothing really.

[Excellent2]

They never once mentioned that she was dead. Perhaps they have tributed her life whilst she's alive to show respect.

[Bef]

Dont u guys realise that jade goody and max clifford would have almost definatly set this up, they would have sold the rights to it. they would have given the pictures, they would have known when it was coming out.
Do u think its disgusting if they did it themselves? or are you all going to carry on brown nosing her cos she has cancer?
