The Guessing Game - Updated

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

Michael Jackson: A new documentary claims he abused two young boys
Chelsea Clinton: Expecting her 3rd child
Carrie Underwood: Gave birth to a son
Nathan Chen and/or Alysia Liu: National figure skating champions, he blew the roof off with an incredible program and score, she's the youngest winner ever at age 13
Matthew McConaughey and/or Anne Hathaway: Their new movie, Serenity, is totally weird
Chris Brown: Arrested
Kylie Jenner: Rumors that she got married
Theresa Guidice: Says if her husband is deported, they'll go their separate ways
Kevin Zegers: Talking about alcoholism and addiction
Katlyn Alix: Off-duty St. Louis police officer, killed accidentally by an on-duty officer during a really stupid game of Russian Roulette
Joni Ernst: The Iowa senator says she is the victim of sexual abuse
The Fyre Festival: There are now two competing documentaries about how the debacle came to be
Fatima Ali: A contestant on Top Chef dies of cancer at 29
Melania: Wins an apology and a settlement after British magazine The Telegraph runs a critical story. I wish I could link to it but apparently it's been taken down
Kate Beckinsale: Hospitalized
Prince Philip: Finally apologized for the car accident he caused. See the letter here

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

Monday morning update: Rent Live. It wasn't "live." Lead actor Brennin Hunt broke his foot on Saturday and Fox opted to air most of the dress rehearsal during the Sunday evening broadcast. It would be easy to snark, but those live musicals on television are extremely complicated to pull off. Kudos to all for having a plan B and going on with the show. (Although, really Fox, maybe next time have a few understudies ready to go, just in case?)
Chris Harrison: The Bachelor host is apparently dating Lauren Zima
Chris Christie and/or Cliff Sims: The Trump advisor (Christie) and the former Trump White House staffer (Sims) both have "tell all" memoirs coming out tomorrow
Howard Schultz: The former Starbucks CEO is pondering running for president as an independant
Tom Brokaw: Let loose with some strange and offensive comments on Meet The Press, followed by an inadequate apology via Twitter:





This is just part of the thread, see Brokaw's Twitter feed here

Update #2 on Tuesday afternoon. Caelynn Miller-Keyes: The Miss USA runner-up is a front runner on the current season of The Bachelor, in last night's episode she said that she had been sexually assaulted while in college.

Update #3 on Wednesday morning. See the new cover, featuring Anne Hathaway, here
