What will be on the cover of People this week? I'm on vacation right now and paying only minimal attention to pop culture, so just a few guesses this week:
Thomas Markle: Meghan's father is in the news again
Aretha Franklin: There are reports that she's seriously ill
Omarosa: Her book tour started this week-end, including a spot on Meet The Press, where she played a tape of a recording with John Kelly, a conversation she claims took place in the White House situation room. She was also on the Today show this morning and who knows what's coming next. Her book officially comes out tomorrow
Bill Hybels: The lead pastor and entire Elders board of Willow Creek Community Church resigned last week, over the way the sex scandal around founding pastor Bill Hybels was handled. Full disclosure: I attended Willow Creek for about 10 years, 1994-2004, approximately, and for me the entire sordid mess has been both heartbreaking and rage-inducing. As I'm writing on Monday morning, Hybels has not acknowledged his failures, expressed any repentance, asked for forgiveness or publicly apologized. He did, however, delete his entire social media presence. Going off the grid to ponder his sins, or deleting evidence before the new investigation starts? You decide. (Read the Chicago Tribune's most recent article about this here.)
Richard Russell: The man who stole a Horizon Air airplane then crashed it in an apparent suicide
Robin Wright: Sean Penn's ex-wife gets married, he vacations with his 31-years-younger girlfriend
Angelina Jolie and/or Brad Pitt: Still fighting about custody and money
Elvis Presley: Thursday is the 41st anniversary of his death; apparently an extended version of his 1968 TV special will be shown in theaters to mark the occasion
Stories that appear on the cover of this week's issue will be highlighted in green.
Update: See the new cover, with Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan on the cover, here.
