One of the most exciting things about visiting a new place is discovering the local celebrity infrastructure. While in Vilnius we came across Klubas, a Lithuanian celebrity magazine.

Singer Dove is featured on the cover of the current issue (thanks to a digital camera mishap, another cover is reproduced above) and also occupies a six-page spread. Other local stars garnering attention include pop star Minedo and writer Jurga Ivanauskaite.

Less over-the-top splashy than its Nordic sister publications, Klubas’s local celebrity content outpaces coverage of international stars there’s got to be at least one of you—there’s also a splashy publication called Ekstra to peruse.
