No. Most images in magazines are paid usage from the photgrapher or consented by the artist (or subject) involved.
BUT, there are press shots that are usually available by the PR of said artist (or subject of material). IE- musicians, most have press shots posted on their official websites, usually there will be a line stating it's free to use, if there is a photo credit, you must acknowledge that as well.
If any photo or image is in question contact the PR of that person or subject matter, they will be more than helpful in either giving you consent or sending you an image you CAN use. It's an easy email and then there will be no question.

I don't think you can use any copyrighted material without written permission from the originators, whether it be writers, artists or photographers. That includes quoting, reproducing in whole or in part, or copying. That would make you vulnerable to a lawsuit, because posting on the internet is a form of publication, just the same as if you reprinted part of a novel without the author's permission.
