Melissa's movie got good reviews and opened big over the week-end so no surprise that she gets the cover this week. This is the second time in three weeks that People has featured a woman who isn't a size 2 on the cover, and the second time in a year for McCarthy. It's nice that this year's headline doesn't mention the fact that McCarthy appears to have lost weight, but both headlines subtly call attention to her size. Last year she was "succeeding in Hollywood on her own terms," now she's "making her own rules," both of which translate to being a movie star who isn't skinny.
Issue dated July 7, 2014
In a strange coincidence, Jill Duggar appears on both covers too, ick, along with the cute royal children and Jennifer Aniston. The Aniston headline sounded familiar to me too so I scrolled back through all the People Cover tags and sure enough, on the April 7, 2014 cover there she was with this headline: "JEN OPENS UP Beauty Secrets, Justin and What's Next." As I said at the time, I can't imagine what beauty "secrets" she might have. I will admit to some small amount of curiosity about why, after being engaged for almost 3 years, she and Justin haven't just gotten married, already.
