The Guessing Game

Who will be on the cover of People this week? Possibilities:

Janay Rice: She's currently in the midst of a very strategic, well-orchestrated PR campaign to "rehabilitate" her husband's image so an NFL team will sign him to play. After interviews with ESPN and Matt Lauer, a People cover story would be a logical next step.
Scarlett Johansson: Got married secretly in October
Snooki: Got married last week-end
Will and Kate: Coming to America December 7-8. Prince Harry is also a possibility.
Jennifer Lawrence and/or Taylor Swift: They're inescapable. Both of them.
Christopher Walker and/or Allison Williams: Starring in NBC's live TV production of Peter Pan. The Sound of Music (Live!) was such a success last year, financially if not artistically, that NBC is doing another live musical this week. Note that Allison Williams is Brian Williams' daughter.
Kim Kardashian: Believe it or not, she "visited the troops" last week, stopping by the USS San Diego in Abu Dhabi. I've also seen a tiny little rumble suggesting that all is not well with Kimye. Apparently she spent Thanksgiving Day at Khloé's house; hubby Kanye was spotted in Paris the same day.
Elizabeth Lauten: Congressional staffer who resigned after sending out a judgmental and very unkind tweet about Malia and Sasha Obama.

Update: I just thought of another possibility: Melissa McCarthy, who recently lost some weight. I really, really hope I'm wrong, because we absolutely don't need another story celebrating a woman's thinner body.

Wednesday morning update: People.com's messing with my head this morning. They've redesigned the website and if the new cover is posted there, I can't find it. I'll keep checking.
