The Guessing Game - Updated

What will be on the cover of People this week? Just a few guesses, along with a (possible) Bachelor spoiler:

Lara Spencer and/or chef Katie Lee: Celebrity Weddings
Meghan McCain: Fiery words at her father's funeral
Geoffrey Owens: The former Cosby Show actor now working at Trader Joe's. Fox News and the Daily Mail published "job shaming" photos of him at work
The new Bachelor: Will be announced on Good Morning, America tomorrow. Is it Colton? Reality Steve says so, but as we've seen in the past, producers have occasionally changed their mind at the very last moment. (Two years ago, Luke Pell, from JoJo's season, got as far as checking in for his flight to L.A. the next day, before getting a call from producers who told him they had "decided to go in another direction.") Colton strikes some Bach Nation denizens as immature and not ready to star in his own season. As I'm writing on Monday morning, he's also still with Tia on Bachelor in Paradise, although previews of tonight's episode appear to show them breaking up. Will this year's choice, whoever it is, be controversial? King of Bachelor Nation Mike Fleiss appears to think so and has asked for calm:
David Hogg: The Parkland shooting survivor raised thousands of dollars for an anti-Ted Cruz billboard featuring an old Donald Trump tweet:


He did it in response to this:
Hogg also pointed out there was a lot of material to choose from:

Tuesday morning update: Yes, Colton is the new Bachelor and yes, pretty much everyone in Bach Nation has an opinion:



Tia weighed in with this:
... and this:
What about Grocery Joe? The rumor is that he gets the consolation prize of dancing on Dancing. 

Update #2: Miss America. A new one will be chosen Sunday night, presumably with no swimsuit competition. Will anyone watch?

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

Wednesday morning, update #3: No green this week. See the new cover, featuring Michelle LeClair/Scientology, here.
