The Guessing Game/Brad Pitt

What will be on the cover of People this week? My guesses, in no particular order:

Kirk Douglas: The legendary actor died at age 103. Will he get the full Dead Celebrity treatment? TV stars Orson Bean and Robert Conrad also passed away
Harrison Ford: Will be starring in a new Indiana Jones movie (At IMDB.com it's called "Untitled Indiana Jones Project," scheduled to debut in 2021)
Brad Pitt: No surprise at the Oscars, Brad won for Best Supporting Actor
Lori Vallow: A mom in Idaho, her children have been missing since September. Vallow is an Attractive Blonde Woman and I could see People doing a (possible) True Crime story about her. Read more here.
Dwayne Wade: Talking about his 12-year-old, who is trans
Gayle King: CBS published a misleading snippet of an interview about Kobe Bryant
Jon Peters: He's now claiming that Pamela Anderson married him for money
Tyler Cameron: Hannah Brown's Bachelorette runner-up is appearing on Single Parents
The Royal Family: Harry and Meghan attended an event in Miami, where they were seated next to J Lo and A-Rod; William and Kate are going to Australia to support fire relief efforts; Princess Eugenie's wedding is set for May 29 and Peter Phillips, the Queen's grandson and son of Princess Anne, is separating from his wife. Plus there's this, the new so-called Fab Four. Charles, Camilla, William and Kate made a rare joint appearance:



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

Update on Thursday morning. It's a hat trick this week; I had all three cover stories on the Guessing Game list above. Brad and Meghan were in the news last year too. And speaking of Meghan (and the other royals,) this is the 8th cover of 2020 and every one of them has featured one or more members of the royal family: two main covers, both featuring Harry and Meghan, and six smaller topline headlines featuring Harry, Harry and Meghan or Kate. Will this streak last all year? It wouldn't surprise me.

Issue dated February 24, 2020: Brad Pitt
