Using quotes from sites such as twitter indicates the use of facts. This is due to the site being a social network so the majority of people can see whats been said already, its easily obtained and readily available. Its also a primary source of information as it has been said straight from the celebrities mouths to thier twitte accounts.
This provides the article with truth and a basis for the rest of the evidence.
Another use of evidentual facts is pictures, by including these in the production pieces its showing the real thing in action. Photographic evidence can not be denyed therefore it provides factual back up to their story.
However there are fictional tendanceys to these articles- the article itself can be seen as fictional because its not an interveiw directly from the people's mouths. Therefore it could be completely made up and telling a fictional story, even though they may have tweets and photos, sometimes the story can say a different side to things that are not nessasarily shown in the photo's.
Another fictional use in the magazines is the idea of close sources to the celebrities. Most magazines include a quote or a statement that "supposidly" backs up their point, however they claim it to be from a close freind of the star, this therefore means that there is no factual evidnece and majority of the time this tends to be fiction, in order to give the story some justifaction or back up.
