Jennifer Aniston is #1 Celebrity Cover Girl

Jennifer Aniston is #1 Celebrity Cover Girl

People can’t get enough of Jennifer Aniston!

The former Friends star is the top cover star, according to Forbes‘ first-ever analysis of the top-selling celebrity faces. Her face has collectively sold more than 5 million copies. Here’s who rounded out the top 10?

2) Brad Pitt
3) Scarlett Johansson
4) Angelina Jolie
5) Reese Witherspoon
6) Katie Holmes
7) Carrie Underwood
8) Jennifer Hudson [tie]
8) Valerie Bertinelli [tie]
10) Kelly Ripa

Think their analysis is hokey? Check out their formula: “We looked at the newsstand sales of the six leading celebrity weeklies– People, Star, US Weekly, In Touch Weekly, Life & Style and OK!–over a six-month period ending June 30, as supplied by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. We eliminated all non-celebrity and collage covers as well as special issues with exceptionally large rate bases. Then we counted how many more–or less–issues the celebrity’s cover sold, as compared with the magazine’s average newsstand sales. Next, we factored in the number of full covers a celebrity graced. Finally, we ranked his or her consumer appeal using data from Encino, Calif.-based polling firm E-Poll Market Research to rule out flukes.”

The biggest disappointment at the newsstand? Britney Spears with an abnormally low appeal score of 3. The only one who scored worse? Paris Hilton, who scored a 2.

C’est la meilleur donc c’est normal.Ce qui prouve que tout le monde aime JENNIFER ANISTON.

This does not mean it’s all positive. A lot of people like to see how Jen just can’t get it together and never deserved Pitt in the first place. Her lack of talent and substantial work just proves that she’s a BIG nothing…and it’s fun to watch her fall. Magazines know that.

She’s all plastic…in europe she is famous not becouse of her work, (we remember her only for friends), but just ‘cos she is Brad Pitt’s ex wife..!!

Her manager tries every day to put her face on the mag’s covers…but the news about her are always stupid…

I don’t think the analysis is good. According to Forbes, Witherspoon and Underwood have only had 1 or 2 covers. Forbes doesn’t say Aniston’s numbers but it can’t be much since they say she’s been on at least one each except for In Touch. Whereas people like Britney, Brad and Angelina are on covers everyweek with the same story. Of course people with so few cover stories would outsell people who are always on the cover. I hardly call Kelly Ripa and Jennifer Hudson tabloid queens but are just likable and have 1 or 2 covers.

*****************************

ITA. Forbes survey is totally stupid. In their study Angelina has 17 covers, Britney 18 covers, and Ansiton ahs 6 covers. Of course, the more covers one has, its likely the average tabloid sales diminishes, its like you dont eat hamburger everyday, you vary. Aniston may have 2-3 best selling covers, but if she would be in the cover week after week like Britney and Angelina, im sure her cover sales would go down, precisely tahts why the tabs dont do that. They know they get consistent good sales if they put Angelina or even Britney. And Britney only gets to be in the cover because of her scandals.

THe most idiotic thing is how can they say celeb like Scarlet, Carrie, Jennifer H, or kelly Ripa tabloid bestsellers, when they only grace the cover one or twice. In terms of per tabloid mag sales, maybe its high, but its like just one time. If they sell well, the tabs would put them on the cover all the time, too.

And why would forbes factor the e-consumer poll thing? what does it got to do with tabloid sales? The fact that Britney covers for instance sells, should not be discounted by the fact that her likeability appeal is low beacause of her recent bad behaviour, the numbers should speak for itself.

To me, the reason why Forbes had to factor - e-consumer appeal thing is because they can manipulate the results, and also because they probably needed a sponsor to fund the study.

I thing the best way to calculate who sell the most tabloid mag is plain common sense,

No of covers x sales per cover for the period under study, say for instance:

Angelina - 17 covers x ave sales of 800,000 = 13.6m

Britney - 18 covers x ave sales of 600,000 = 10.8m

jennifer A - 6 covers x ave sales of 1 m = 6 m (according to Forbes her total sales is 5 m plus so its close)

If really the tabs knows that Aniston can consistently deliver 1 m plus per cover, then they put her in their cover week after week, not angelina or Britney. Im sure they know she wont, thats why they bet on the more consistent sales number of Angelina or Britney cover.

JJ YOU HATE ANISTON?RIGHT?This is the worse pic I have ever seen from her.you think this photo can sell?no ofcourse not as woman photo not but as man photo maybe yes.

Chin of Jen @ 10/04/2007 at 9:04 am

I think the person who conducted this poll is a die hard Chin Aniston FAn. No miss. Is it true? You are asking me? Yes. It’s true.because why? Almost everyday I go to newstand to buy a newspaper! Where do you see Chin Aniston’s face on the mag cover? Maybe, in the trash bin. OMG. Britney Spears, yes. Brad and Angelina, second. But to put Chin Aniston on top. It’s way way fishy…What an idiotic poll..

she has a great smile :D

Love her! I don’t know why people who love Angelina and Brad are so rude with regards to Jennifer Aniston. She stays above the fray with regards to the whole media hype, as do Brad and Angelina, so leave her alone. She is beautiful, successful, and living her own life. Stop being such haters. The same thing goes for all those who say rude things about Angelina and Brad…the past is the past. Let it go and get a life already!

I don’t think this is good for JA or her image.
Imagine being called the “America’s Tabloid Queen” Ouch!

joke of the day @ 10/04/2007 at 10:05 am

so you are here,Didn`t I say to you,you are the joke of the day?the picture above is the worst picture I have ever seen from her but you called that beautiful.so I can tell you are joke of the day because you are.she looks more manly than other pics here.

I don`t want to talk about other part of your comment.but just this part was enough laughable.

I will trying if JJ post my comment , last time i try many time but for some reason my comment were not posted

After Bragnlina put thier life out to the public, gives million innterview about thier private life. They try hard to be loved by everybody , yet they can not sell magazine more than Jen who is very private person.

Good JJ , you are posting my comment again.

Bragnloonies you know why Jen is # 1 Seller , people loves her, and relate to her, becuase she does not act like a big shot, she act very normal and private. People are routing for her, to have a good life. may be curious.

Bragnlina are selling thier kids , selling they very detail private life to the public. but still they are selling less. that is shame for them, becuase they are trying hard to be out there , but it did not work.

I can’t stand this woman…She’s all plastic inside and outside!!

I bet your an idiot.

This tabloid contest is pathetic and so are the AJ fans! Why then,if Jen is so awful, does Pitt’s mommy love Jen so much? can we say “because she’s normal”?! Can’t imagine his mother being so wrong. She spent 7 years w/Jen in their lives and she knows what a gem she really is. Jolie can try and save every orphan out there but it probably doesn’t matter much b/c it really comes down to character. Even Joan Crawford adopted and we found her to be a sh*tty mother! Poor Jane Pitt has to suck it up just to see her grandchild. Technically the other kids aren’t her grandchildren - her son hasn’t officially adopted them - only changed their last name - and he’s not married either! And since when do we judge someone’s character on their chin, looks, body? If that were the case Jolie loses in that category too. She is a walking skeleton. Her face is pretty but her body is an eye sore! You miserable fans need to look in the mirror before picking on someone as pretty as Aniston. Guarantee you’re a bunch a nasty, white trash, over weight, toothless hags with bad hair!

to Hey bet

why is that? Becuase i am not worshiping like you to the bragnlina.
or is it becuase i am not like bragnloonies here posting againg and again, getting mad pulling my hair about the news that Jen is selling more cover than Branglina.

yes I know QUEEN OF TABLOID is an honor,hahahahahaha,just for some stupid people like some of you here.

Prue Halliwell @ 10/04/2007 at 10:25 am

Yes, yes, isn’t it wonderful? Brad and Angelina are only building a family of four beautiful children, building successful, respectable careers. Jennifer? She is the Queen of the Tabloids. She can have that honor!!!

And I still maintain that this Forbes data is seriously skewed. Valerie Bertinelli? Carrie Underwood? Jennifer Hudson? Seriously, can these celebs consistently sell out magazines, especially Valerie Bertinelli? I mean, how the freak did Forbes come out with this conclusion?

When Jennifer makes a cover of People’s magazine for a dinner with an attractive man and a rump in the sack - you realize that there are no stories about Jennifer that is worth reading. I think all of her tabloid stories are jokes.

To ?

May be it is an honor, to the bragnlina becuase they are trying hard to be recognise. If they become #1 , it can be honor for thier hard work of selling themself . but Jen is not doing anything or trying hard to get people aproval, yet she is the biggest seller.

I can`t believe some of you Jen`s fans are happy about it,queen of trash is good in your opinion?

I don`t hate or like her,but I know this is not good for her career.

even thinking about it that If Cate B names such as this makes me sad and unhappy.that`s why I can`t believe you are happy about it.

I feel shame for Armpit , he is the only man in the middel of all women. He should become gay.

295 bet

oh let me guess those cover.

1.AGAIN:Jen`s new Boyfriend!!!

2.Why she can`t keep a man?

3.jen is lonely again!!!

AS I SEE what a good seller she is!!!!SHE EVEN SELL HERSELF TO EARN SOME NEW MAN.

This Poll is in collaboration with Gay Huvane and THE CHIN… this is absurd!!!! How in the Hell CHINNY became no.1???? Are they in CHINNYLAND or something like THE LONG AND HORRIFIC SAGGYCHINLAND???? What a rip-off!!!! Anyway, How come CHINNIFER’S RUBBER CHIN IS LOOKING MORE and MORE LIKE AN ELASTIC RUBBER GLOVES??? CHINNOCHIO MUST BE HAVING A BAD DAY!!!! LOOKING SO HORRENDOUS AND VERY UGLY!!! NO WONDER, CHINNISTON IS LONELY AND TRYING HARD TO DRESS AND ACT LIKE A TEENAGER!!!! COME ON CHINNY, HAVE SOME DECENCY AND DON”T SHOW YOUR CROTCH TO THE PUBLIC LIKE YOU’RE SOME 17 YEAR OLD HOOKER!!!!
