The Guessing Game - Updated

What will be on the cover of People this week? There's not a lot of suspense about the main cover story, which will almost certainly feature Bachelorette Becca and her new fiance. For some reason last year Bachelor Nick and his (short-term) fiancee Vanessa were bumped down to a sidebar, with a memoir by Prince's ex-wife featured as the main story...
 

...but after that Bachelorette Rachel and this year's Bachelor Arie both got the full treatment:

Barring a major celebrity divorce announcement or a celebrity death, Becca and (almost certainly) Garrett should be front-and-center this time around.

Sidebar possibilities, some of which are repeats from recent weeks: 

Mollie Tibbetts: The missing college student
LeBron James: Dissed by the president, along with Don Lemon
Melania: Appeared to troll the president with a tweet supporting LeBron
Donald Trump Jr.: Is he in legal jeopardy?
Meghan: Celebrated her 37th birthday and attended a wedding with Harry; apparently there's still tension with her father
Arnold Schwarzenenegger: Now filming an "Untitled Terminator
Reboot." Linda Hamilton, who reprises her role, is also a possibility
Omarosa: Her book about the Trump White House comes out next week
Alan Alda: Announced that he has Parkinson's disease
Charlie Sheen: Says he's out of money and can't pay child support
Angelina Jolie: The custody fight with Brad
Charlotte Rae: The Facts of Life star dies at 92
Hope Hicks: Flew on Air Force One on Saturday
Lance Bass: Thought he had the successful bid for the Brady Bunch house in L.A., then the deal fell through to allow a studio to buy it. (Read about it here)

Stories that appear on the cover of the new issue will be highlighted in green.

See the new cover, featuring the Queen, Camilla, Meghan and Kate, here. Becca and Garrett are there too, but only as a sidebar. Once again the newly engaged couple didn't rate the main cover story.

Tuesday afternoon update: Who bought the Brady Bunch house? HGTV:

On Tuesday, during an earnings conference call, the network announced they had the winning bid for the iconic California house, which served as the facade of Mike and Carol Brady’s home on the beloved sitcom from 1969 to 1974.

“I am excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and will restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can,” Discovery Inc. CEO David Zaslav said on the call. (Read the story at People.com here.)
