The Guessing Game - Updated

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

Nancy Pelosi: Her second turn as Speaker of the House, she's now the most powerful woman in government and 2nd in line for the presidency. A story about some of the other women who were sworn into Congress this week is also a possibility
Kim K and Kanye: Expecting their 4th child, via surrogate
Arie and Lauren: Last year's Bachelor is getting married in Hawaii on January 12. If the wedding goes off as planned I'll have to eat a little crow. When Arie's botched finale aired last year, in which he broke up with Becca and took up with Lauren, I said that pigs would dance on Mars before Arie and Lauren got married. I gave it six months, tops. (Read that post here.)
Daryl Dragon: The captain of 70's duo The Captain and Tenille dies
Olivia Newton John: Denies rumors that she's near death
Sara Haines: The GMA Day anchor is expecting her third child at 41
Lindsey Lohan: A new show on MTV
Kevin Hart: A conversation with Ellen, she calls on the Academy to reinstate him, will he host the Oscars after all? If not him, then who?
Kathy Griffin: Talks about her mother's dementia
Bethany Frankel: A life-threatening allergy to fish
R. Kelly: Multiple accusations of sexual abuse of women, seen on Lifetime TV's new show Surviving R. Kelly
Britney Spears: Announces a break from performing due to her father's illness
Kate Middleton: Turns 37 on Wednesday
The Golden Globes: The big show is tonight
Jazmine Barnes: A 7-year-old African-American girl was fatally shot in Texas, apparently randomly. On Sunday morning a suspect was arrested
The Bobbitts: They're back in the news, 25 years after this:

Issue dated November 13, 1993
