The Guessing Game - Updated

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

Kate Spade and/or Anthony Bourdain: Both died by suicide this week, putting depression and mental illness in the spotlight
Gretchen Carlson and Miss America: No more swimsuit contest; the "pageant" is now a "competition." To me it sounds like it's now a job interview but who would watch that on TV?
Jerry Maran: The last surviving Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz dies at 98
Kim Kardashian and/or Alice Johnson: Kim lobbied the president resulting in Trump commuting Johnson's prison sentence
Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex: Attended the Trooping the Colour ceremony in an off-the-shoulder dress; will travel with the Queen this week
Kelly Clarkson: She's lost weight and is talking about auto-immune disease
Vince Vaughn: Arrested for DUI over the week-end
Prince George and Princess Charlotte: Cute pictures from Trooping the Colour and a polo game
Prince Philip: The Queen's husband turns *97* today
Teresa Guidice: Competed in a "bikini body-building contest" and came in 3rd
Josh Duhamel: A new girlfriend
Jackson Odell: The young actor was found dead at age 20
Donald Trump and/or Kim Jong Un: This one's a stretch for People but the U.S./North Korea summit in Singapore is the biggest news story this week

Monday morning update: Robert DeNiro: Insults Trump with the F-word at the Tonys. It was bleeped out here in the States but Australian television showed it in real time with sound. Of course it didn't take long before it was all over the internet

Monday afternoon, update #2: Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson: Engaged after just a few weeks of dating

Tuesday morning, update #3: Bode Miller: His 19-month-old daughter drowned on Sunday. This news broke on Monday, which may be too late to make it into this week's issue

Note: Stories that actually appear on this week's cover will be highlighted in green. Wednesday morning update: See the new cover here.
