Melania Trump and/or Stephanie Winston Wolkoff: Wolkoff's book, titled Melania and Me, officially comes out tomorrow but review copies are out there and its getting a lot of attention, in particular some juicy gossip about the relationship between Melania and Ivanka. On Good Morning, America this morning, Wolkoff said, "There's nothing in the book that I can't back up, not one word, and Donald and Melania know that." Wow.
I've had Melania on the Guessing Game list periodically throughout Donald's presidency, but as I've said here before, since the 2016 election, there has been not one word about Melania on the cover of People. There was one cover story during the campaign:
Issue dated October 15, 2015 (Read the story here)
... but since the election there have only been three covers featuring anyone named Trump:
Issue dated November 21, 2016
Issue dated July 31, 2017
Issue dated April 2, 2018
Will People put Melania on the cover this week? Probably not.
Kellyanne Conway: In other Trump-related news, today is Senior Counselor Kellyanne Conway's last day at the White House. To mark the occasion I'll share a tweet from Inauguration Day:

Stories that appear on the new cover will be highlighted in green.
Update. Niecy Nash: The actress married singer Jessica Betts in a surprise wedding
Update #2 on Tuesday night. People publishes the new cover early; as expected it's what they call a "Tribute Cover," recognizing a celebrity who has died:
Issue dated September 14, 2020: Chadwick Boseman
Last year at this time: Issue dated September 16, 2019
Note: there will probably be a couple of secondary headlines on the final version of this week's cover.
Update #3 on Wednesday morning: I've now seen a final version of the cover and it does include secondary headlines about Brad Pitt and the Jerry Falwell Jr. scandal, as well as Paris Hilton. If I can find an online copy I'll post it here. The "no Melania" streak is still going strong.
Update #4: This is the final version:
