The Guessing Game - Updated

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

Aretha Franklin: Dead Celebrity
Thomas Markle: Meghan's father is still giving interviews, still criticizing the royal family and still making himself look like a fool. Will Meghan meet with him soon? 
Shanann Watts and her daughters: True crime, her husband is accused of killing her and the girls 
Crazy Rich Asians: The romcom, with a predominantly Asian cast, is Number 1 at the box office over the week-end
Omarosa: Still in the news as she releases recordings of the president and various staffers/family members
Asia Argento: One of Harvey Weinstein's first accusers, now she's accused of paying off her own accuser
Princess Eugenie: Just a few weeks until her wedding   
Ben Affleck: Is he dating a Playboy model? The SNL producer he's been dating has deleted her Instagram account. What does that mean? No one knows. And by-the-way, the model Ben had dinner with is 22 
Miss America: The current one has some complaints
Melania: Yes, I keep putting her on the list, and yes, People continues to ignore her. She's here this week because Omarosa's book contains some interesting tidbits about the First Lady and her relationship with Donald, and the New York Times published a new article about her on Saturday
Nick Jonas and/or Priyanka Chopra: Confirmed their engagement with Instagram posts and an engagement party in India. Is Priyanka, age 36, really going to marry 25-year-old Nick after dating for two months? We'll see. (My bet? No.) If they do have a wedding, will Harry and Meghan be in attendance? (My guess? Yes.)
Kaitlyn Bristowe: The former Bachelorette confirms that she and Shawn are still a couple 

Monday afternoon update: Melania Trump has just announced that she'll be traveling solo to Africa later this year, to learn about issues facing children there. She also spoke about bullying at an event this morning. Ana Navarro isn't impressed:

Tuesday morning, update #2: The VMAs were last night, People may include a story, or at least some pictures, from the event. Separately, GMA reported this morning that Harry and Meghan are visiting George and Amal Clooney at their villa in Italy. 

Stories that appear on this week's cover will be highlighted in green. Update #3: See the new cover, featuring Aretha Franklin, here
