Whitney Houston

Issue dated July 23, 2018: Whitney Houston


People goes with a Dead Celebrity cover this week, albeit one whose subject has been gone for six years. (And they used a picture from 1990, when Houston was in her prime.) People really likes so-called "Untold Stories," although only Whitney's is described as shocking:

January 1, 2018: Hugh Jackman, My Untold Story
November 20, 2017: Queen Elizabeth, Her Untold Love Story. (Note: this cover also included a sidebar headline saying "Selena Gomez, Why she's back with Justin Bieber." That one didn't hold up too well, did it?)
July 10, 2017: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Her Untold Story
March 17, 2017: Barry Manilow, My Untold Story
November 14, 2016: Jon Bon Jovi, My Untold Story
October 3, 2016: Michael Strahan, My Untold Story
March 25, 2016: Natalie Wood, The Untold Story

The only story from the Guessing Game list is Princess Kate with Prince Louis. Now that the Thai soccer players and their coach are all safely out of the cave, will People feature them on next week's cover? My guess? Yes.

Last year at this time: Issue dated July 24, 2107
