The Guessing Game - Updated

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

The Royal Wedding: Less than two weeks away now, on Friday the palace released lots of juicy details about the wedding day. I could see a cover story focusing on Meghan's girlfriends, including Serena Williams, Jessica Mulroney and Priyanka Chopra, one about her parents and possibly, one about her estranged half-siblings, one of whom wrote an open letter to Prince Harry advising him to call off the wedding
Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte: Cute new pictures were released over the week-end
John McCain: His book and a new documentary come out soon, he made news this week-end with a New York Times article saying he regrets not choosing Senator Lieberman as his running mate, and he doesn't want the president at his funeral. I wrote about that here
Stormy: She's still in the news, with help from Rudy Giuliani, and she killed it on Saturday Night Live
Kanye West: What the heck's going on with him anyway? I have no idea, but he's been getting a lot of press this week
Cheryl Burke: The Dancing With The Stars pro is engaged
Jennifer Lopez: Launched a new make-up line
Rudy Giuliani: Also still making news, possibly not helping the president as much as he thinks
Melania: She's announcing her "initiatives" tomorrow, I'll keep putting her on the list
Michael Skakel: His conviction for murder was overturned. This wouldn't be news except for a slight connection to the Kennedy family (He's Ethel Kennedy's nephew)

Monday morning update: Trenton McKinley. The 13-year-old wakes up after being declared brain dead, his parents had signed paperwork to donate his organs

The Cleveland Kidnapping Survivors: Five years later

Monday night, update #2: The Met Gala. The Met Gala is one of those things I really don't care about. However, it's currently the top story at People.com, which makes me think it could be one of the sidebar stories on the the new cover. In particular Amal Clooney, who is a co-chair of the gala and turned up with husband Gorgeous George, could get the cover this week.

Tuesday afternoon, update #3: Robin Williams. A new biography of Williams, by New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff, comes out next week

Wednesday morning, update #4: See the new cover here.
