The New Issue

It's Tuesday afternoon and time to play the guessing game: what will be the cover story on the new issue of People? Lots to choose from this week:
  • Lindsay Lohan, out of rehab and trying to rebuild her career
  • Prince George and the new pictures of the Cambridge family  
  • Gia Allemand and/or Lee Thompson Young, both of whom committed suicide this week
  • Hannah Anderson is a sidebar story on the current issue, but I could still see her as a main story, especially if she gives an interview or if there's a really good picture of her
  • An Oscar for Oprah? She's getting good reviews for her performance in The Butler. She's also a sidebar story this week, but she could move up to the main story 
  • Oscar Pistorius, indicted for the murder of his girlfriend
  • Beau Biden's health issues
  • The Obama family's new dog
  • The Kim K/Katie Couric dust-up. I'm sure there will be a Kim story eventually but it will probably not happen until the first baby pictures come out. 
Finally, Caroline Kennedy was in the news this week, after she released her financial information and was revealed to be really, really rich. With the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination now just three months away, there's almost certain to be some kind of story about Caroline between now and then. Like stories about the royal baby and the Kardashians, it could pop up any time.

Tuesday night update: Simon Cowell gave an interview to the BBC about his upcoming fatherhood. People.com's recap is currently their top story, so I'd say Simon's a possibility for a cover/sidebar story too.
