What was this book - parody of Hello magazine

So it’s really annoying me that I can’t remember this book cos I read it at least twice growing up! It’s about a woman who works for a magazine just like Hello or OK and it’s a chick lit book, I think no later than 2005 but prob earlier. She has a stalker and sometimes the book is from their POV.

i actually really feel like it was called “Hi!”, but unsurprisingly that’s way too broad to come up with anything even with additional info, at least on my searches! So wondering if anyone remembered this and knew who wrote it. I can see the cover in my mind!

There’s a chance it’s at the very back of my chuck it cupboard but that’s a last resort….

Neither of those but thank you! It was a very light, fluffy read with a lot of focus on her work for the magazine and the celebs she met as part of that. And I’m really sure it was called Hi, possibly with a sub line about celebrity gossip but I can’t remember the sub line and Hi is a bit useless on its own.

Pink cover with boxes and the title in the top left hand corner? A spoof of Hello magazines and I think she leaves in the end because she's tired of writing froth? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I had it for years but cannot remember the title! Something like Snapped or Spotted or something like that?
