Would a DS weekly gossip magazine similar to Heat work?

  no, the printed press in this style is on it's way out, no need to go backwards.

  If you're aiming at people who already read DS, why would we buy it when we've already read it online? I don't buy gossip mags because the news is out of date as I'm online every day.
  
  If you're aiming at people who don't go online much and rely on printed media, that group is shrinking and the market is already saturated with gossip mags for them.
  
  So no.

  Heat is absolute pap imo.
  
  Why would you want to mangle the formula that works here for the sake of a few pounds?
  
  Just stick a 'donate' to Paypal button on the top of the forum or charge a nominal fee to use here if you're struggling for funds. Don't go down the print route, it's dying anyway.

  There was a thread many years ago where FMs wrote a spoof Heat/OK style mag.
  
  I'll see if I can dig it out as it was freaking hilarious back in my lurking days
  
  Edit - That didn't take long
