The Guessing Game

What will be the cover story on People this week? Possibilities:  

Justin Ross Harris: the hot car death of a toddler.
Jessica Simpson: Got married.
Andi Dorfman: The Bachelorette, with some real-life drama surrounding the death of former contestant Eric Hill.
Malia Obama: Turned 16. People probably won't go there but it could be a sidebar story.
Mila Kunis: Pregnant and engaged to Ashton Kutcher. She's on the cover of the August issue of W magazine, saying "I've found the love of my life." People could also go with a story about Demi Moore, who can't be enjoying all the coverage of Mila and Ashton's hot romance.
Oscar Pistorius: The defense has rested: there should be a verdict soon.
John Kennedy, Jr.: Next week is the 15th anniversary of the plane crash; another one of his associates has a book out.
Taylor Swift: Wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. (Really)
Johnny Manziel: "Johnny Football" is photographed holding a rolled-up dollar bill, he either is or is not using it to snort cocaine.
Tim Howard: U.S. soccer team goalie. The next Secretary of Defense? President Obama said he'd consider it.

Tuesday afternoon update: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. People has what looks like a teaser story on the website, with an invitation at the bottom to get more details by picking up the new issue, on newsstands Friday. That's sometime a signal for what the new cover story will be.
