People goes with a Dead Blonde Woman story this week, albeit one who's been dead for almost 22 years. Why now? It's buried in a sentence at the very bottom of the cover ("How they really feel about the star-studded new TV series.") In spite of the lurid headlines (Shocking New Details/JUSTICE FOR NICOLE,) the reference to Nicole's family and even Kris Jenner, this is all promo material for "The People v. O.J. Simpson," a 10-part series debuting on FX February 2. (Read Variety's review here; the short version is that the show's pretty good but John Travolta is awful.)
Other than a tiny topline tease about the Flint water scandal, it's an all-girl cover this week. Mariah Carey and her engagement ring, Angelina Jolie and her kids and Japanese tidying guru Marie Kondo round out the sidebar stories.
To keep us up-to-date, here's last week's cover:
