Peter Beard: The famed photographer, artist and writer, age 82 and suffering from dementia, disappeared from his home a week ago

Kobe Bryant: Selected for the Hall of Fame
Channing Tatum: After a brief reconciliation, he and his wife are splitting up again
Joanna Gaines: Her new lifestyle channel, named Magnolia, will debut in October
Michelle Money: Her daughter had a brutal accident while skateboarding, she's been in a coma for over a week with brain trauma and a skull fracture. (Who's Michelle Money? She competed on The Bachelor in 2011, on Brad Womack's season, then went on to win Season 1 of Bachelor In Paradise)
Duffy: The Welsh singer tells a harrowing tale of abduction and rape
Modern Family: After 11 seasons, the final episode airs April 8
Celebrities Who Have COVID 19:
--Andrew Parker Bowles: Camilla's ex-husband has the coronavirus at age 80
--Boris Johnson:The British Prime Minister has been hospitalized due to COVID 19; earlier today he was moved to the intensive care unit
--Colton Underwood: Colton appears to have recovered; his new book is out but because of social distancing, he's not able to do much to promote it. Read more here
--Navy Captain Brent Crozier: Captain Crozier was fired by the Navy for writing a letter asking for medical help for the sailors on his ship, he's now been diagnosed with the virus
--Ali Wentworth: She has the virus, husband George Stephanopoulos has been hosting Good Morning, America from home

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

Wednesday morning update: Tiger King. On last week's Guessing Game list, I said, regarding Tiger King, "I don't even know what this is, but all of a sudden, it's everywhere." Now I know. It's "Netflix's wild hit docuseries" and apparently it rates a People cover. I admit I don't care too much about the blonde man in the picture, but the tiger is spectacular. No green this week. 

Issue dated April 20, 2020: Tiger King
