August is fast approaching so you know what time that it - the September issues are just around the corner. So far covers from Harper's Bazaar Australia and Glamour US have dropped and now ELLE UK have released theirs featuring Kirsten Dunst.

Although Dunst had been on a hiatus from the public eye in recent years, she made a comeback in May during the Cannes to promote her new film 'Melancholia' so it's nice to see the star on covers again.

Harper's Bazaar US isn't the only one having a hard circulation year. WWD reports that Glamour is also suffering the same problem but it looks like they've cracked the problem. It's not the headlines that get people buying the magazine, it's all about the cover and reality stars seem to be the biggest magazine sellers.

According to reports, Lauren Conrad's 2010 cover was the magazine's biggest seller that year and Kim Kardashian's February cover this year is the best selling issue so far this year. The figures indicate just how much the business of magazines have changed. 15 years ago publications like Vogue US were beginning to introduce celebrity covers but were only allowing the A-list to appear and fast forward to 2011, every reality star worth their 30 minute TV slot is bagging a cover. “If you look at what works for us, it’s not the same stuff that used to work for us,” Glamour US editor Cindi Lieve points out.
