The Guessing Game

Wednesday morning, update #3: See the new cover here.

Monday afternoon, update #2: Cynthia Nixon. The Sex And The City star announces she's running for governor of New York.

Monday morning update: a few additions and a picture:
Ben Affleck: Some kind of weird tattoo
Ben Affleck, back tattoo, Hawaii

The Turpin (house of horrors) family: The adult children have been released from the hospital and are living in freedom somewhere in rural California
Hope Hicks: Lots of interesting info in an article at New York magazine (Read it here)

Original post:
What will be on the cover of People this week? My guesses:

Stephen Hawking: Died at age 76
Donald Trump Jr. and/or his wife Vanessa: Divorcing
Stormy Daniels: I've had her on the list before but things are heating up, with the president filing a $20 million lawsuit against her and her 60 Minutes interviewed scheduled to run next Sunday
Anderson Cooper: Broke up with his longtime boyfriend
Elizabeth Holmes: Built a billion dollar fortune with tech company Theranos, now being investigated for fraud
Scandal: The series is ending, Friday was the last day of production. I think the finale airs April 19
Irgo: The dog who was mistakenly sent to Japan by United Airlines. BTW, he was flown home on a private jet, how about that?
Andrew McCabe: The former Deputy Director of the FBI was fired just hours before he was scheduled to retire, thereby denying him his pension
James Comey: His book doesn't come out until April 17, but it's already #2 on Amazon's best seller list.
Yann Arnaud: Cirque du Soleil performer who died after falling during a performance
Sarah Palin: Gave a speech at the Palm Beach, Florida GOP's annual Lincoln Day dinner, which was held at Mar-A-Lago. According to local reports attendees, who paid $350 and up, were not impressed:

Many in the audience lost interest about a quarter of the way through the speech. Attendees voted with their voices, which kept getting louder and louder as Palin spoke, eventually sounding like a roar — so noticeable that she made a couple of comments noting the audience’s lack of attention.

“The first 10 minutes was inspirational. The last 10 minutes was blah, blah, blah, blah. She went way too long,” said Lori Konis of Coral Springs, an independent who voted for Trump in 2016. (Read more here.)

Palin was paid $15,000 for her trouble, which isn't nothing but is a big jump downward from the six-figure fees she supposedly earned in 2009-2010. I'm also wondering if she had been hoping to spend a little quality time with the president. (Ask him for a job, perhaps? Rumors are that he's got vacancies...) Alas, POTUS stayed in Washington this week-end. Sarah had to be content with soon-to-be-divorced Don Jr.
