The .com WHY CELEBS LOVE US Over the last year, HudsonMOD has delivered on the promise to provide New Jersey (and lucky Manhattanites) with the magazine it deserves. In the process, we’ve pursued and been granted the remarkable opportunity to have revelatory conversations with celebrities raised in the metropolitan area and from around the country, and to then share their stories with you, our savvy readers. We’re continually impressed with each star that stuns on the cover, and we’re smitten with the talents who grace the pages of every issue. But most of all, it’s fulfilling to prove what we’ve known all along—New Jersey is a magnificent state. And now we have the voices to back it up. Daisy Fuentes may have summed it up best when she appeared on the cover of our premiere issue: “Jersey

represents the best of everything, and the most real of everything.” And there are many others who echo that same sentiment. “Jersey not only became my life, it became my home,” said London import and rock star hairstylist Tabatha Coffey. And when Wendy Williams was asked why she chooses to reside in the Garden State rather than in Manhattan, she put it this way: “When I was younger, New Jersey was safe for me, and it remains so.” In addition to gathering accolades for the state, our editors have gotten stars to open up in honest, funny and heartwarming ways, divulging the answers
to questions you yourself would ask: What does Brad Goreski really think of Rachel Zoe? What’s the best thing Rocco DiSpirito has ever eaten? Just who is Karina Smirnoff’s ideal dancing partner? And more. Much, much more. And because a great interview never goes out of style, hudsonmod.com has become home to all of these conversations, making it easy for you to catch up with the likes of Kimora Lee Simmons, Donald Trump, Victor Garber, Thom Filicia, Boomer Esiason, Joy Behar, Christine Ebersole and many more whenever the moment strikes you. There’s no doubt, folks: hudsonmod.com is where celebrities feel most like themselves. —AmAndA Thorogood
