Letter from the Editor ob·ses·sion /əb’seSHən/noun 1. the state of being obsessed with someone or something. “She cared for him with a devotion bordering on obsession.” Our annual obsession issue is finally here, and (not very modestly said) it is our best one yet! We are opening with our current obsession, Ben McKenzie, as new detective James Gordon in the highly anticipated Fall show, Gotham. We feature him in a very moody photo shoot we did in Venice, CA a few weeks ago, along with an amazing interview. Also, you may have already seen our exclusive video interview with McKenzie from the Bello mad shoot set, but if not you can, you should check it out on www.bellomag.com. It also includes some fun “Behind The Scenes” footage.

October is what we call a “new season” in the entertainment world, so we made sure to bring you exclusive interviews and articles about our favorite new TV shows to check out. We have also created a new section with Tech and Design picks that will impress and inspire you. And let’s not forget that we are always on top of the latest in Beauty and Fashion with countless articles and photo editorials. It can be challenging to be original in a world where everyone is given a voice and the opportunity to express themselves, so we, as the publishing industry, are expected to lead the way and stay on the cutting edge of fashion and entertainment. Unfortunately, very few magazines produce all original content like BELLO mag does. We always strive to bring you a fresh selection of original interviews in each issue, with people you already love (like The Returned’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead) as well as those you need to discover (like Andrew J. West from The Walking Dead). It has always been our obsession to be the leader in original magazine content for your continued enjoyment, but, as always, we will let you be the judge of that. We would also like to hear from you about your obsessions, so feel free to share them online and/or send them to us @BELLOmag (Twitter and Instagram), #BELLOmag on bellomag.tumblr.com, and bellomagworld on Facebook.
Ciao, Aleksandar Tomovic (Editor in Chief)
