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.

Selma hayek herself has quoted the list as inaccurate. and she was on the list of the richest women.
To Jen, her marriage to Brad Pitt must be like a giant tumor you can’t seem to get rid of-I think it’s the public’s need for sensationalism that continues to feed this fire long after it went out..c’mon guys, turn the page.
Jen sells because people love to buy her pity party BS.
Well at least you are smart enough that know that Forbes fixd the study. Actually the study was supposed to be about sales but Forbes critera was not about that which you properly commented on.
Forbes study says Jennifer is liked because people see her as a victim. Not because she is pretty or talented. Only because her pity party worked too well. Jennifer is a victim in most peoples minds.
How pathetic is that.
Now the real facts. Editors need sales. If Jenny or Bullock could get them sales, then they would be on the cover more often.
Placed above all the legitimate and serious movie actresses today, crowned as a “Tabloid queen”, I sure hope MISS Aniston’s fans enjoy it as honor, believing that is because she is ‘popular’. Because if they don’t believe so, they will know that indeed this ‘Crown of Pity’ is terribly humiliating.
All hail chinny chin maniston, the tabloid queen, queen of trash!
If Brad Pitt is #2 on this list, DOESN’T IT MAKE HIM THE KING of TABLOIDS????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
41:ALEXALEX –YOU’RE SO F…ING STUPID, THOSE ARE THE TABLOIDS THAT YOU READ, ANGELINA TRIPPED WHILE TRYING TO SIGN AN AUTHOGRAPH. YOU LUNATIC, PHSYCO MANIAC LOOK AT YOUR IDOL FACE COMPARE TO ANGIE, JUST LOOK AT HER PICTURE, SHE LOOKS LIKE A JAY LENO DRESS IN A WIG (OF COURSE THE CHINNY CHIN CHIN) SHE COVERS HALF OF HER FACE WITH HER HAIR BECAUSE OF HER BIG JAW AND BIG CHIN. WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES TO SEE THE TRUTH.
Brad the Tabloid KING!
virgo said this very well. Here is part of his/her post
……………As we know all these marketing polls, the results are doctored to reflect what the sponsor wanted, remember that jessica Alba/Angelina sexist walk survey.
And im not sure how this e-poll that they have has any relevance to tabloid sales, its possible Forbes just needed a sponsor for their study.
————
I’m sure Huvane (Aniston’s publicist) is the sponsor. Remember, in the past, Forbes NEVER had such a list. Now, when Aniston is in the midst of negotiations, all these lists started popping up. Conspiracy indeed !!!!
Brad Pitt THE KING OF TRASH?
Valerie Bertinelli? WTF?!? She hasn’t been relevant since the 1980s. Are those diet commercials really providing that much of a career boost? Very odd that she’s on the list.
You people are
PARANOID
PARANOID
PARANOID
PARANOID
PARANOID
PARANOID
People all over the internet are making fun of you about your Huvane theories. Get a life people.
Hail the Queen of the Trash …. it’s Maniston.. yohoooooohooo let’s celebrate !! .. ROFLMAO the X fans must be in heaven coz they think being Queen of Trash is an HONOR !!! bwahahahahhahahhaha !! I hope they put jen-jen’s face in every tabloid magz everyday :-)

seems like you are the Editor!
everybody in the list has his or her personality and fascination to attactive public person bo buy, to read, to enjoy the magazines!
and JEN is her own,aslo is brad and ange !They are three adults!
maybe you and some guys still want to put JEN into the victim character!
Please move on, donnot link them together any more!
Huh?
Is this a fake poll as most of American polls?
BTW:
how I wished there should be more covers with Jake Gyllenhaal!!!
I like the guy so much!!
is there anybody else helds the same point??
I guess this really proves that people DONT buy as many covers with Angie Fake’Humanitarian on them, as they do Aniston.

So you folks who are saying this is a fake poll, I guess the Forbes Top 100 Celebrity Poll on which Brad Pitt was number 4 and Angelina was 14, although not deserved, was a fake, huh. Same people. E Poll and Forbes. I get it. Brad and Angelina’s rating on Forbes Top 100 were fake. I agree.
jen can share this story with her kids..but i doubt she will ever have any..maybe she will when someone takes pity on her at the age of 55..Hey kids, you know what? Mommy was hailed the ‘queen of trash’. Isn’t mommy special?
This is the strangest most mixed up “study” ever. Nothing adds up or makes any sense at all. Sandra Bullock is number 1? She has all but disappeared. Jennifer Hudson made this list? When has Jennifer Hudson been on the cover other than a brief flurry during her time on American Idol? Are there that many fans who were excited about her win and bought the issues? That is possible and supports the theory that people WILL buy one of these magaxines (like People) when an uplifting topic is on the cover. There just is more to this than a straight poll. It does not ring true.

she hasn’t mentioned the divorce or brad anymore after the OPRAH show!!!!
instead,brad just described the”relationship” last month!
Of course, the real one who “fanning the most oxygen to the fire” is the media, maybe some fans like you!
I really want to hear or see the news just about themselves,single one each!!!not the comparison and the brannigan between fans!!!
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo………ooo boring!!

Maniston fans love tabloids mag it’s their bible. Me i don’t believe whenever tabs put Angie & Brad on the cover there are about a dozen cover of them breaking up, getting married and adopting here and there that if you believe what is written in tabloids they would have a dozen kids by now and reconcile and break up and reconcile again a dozen times.. who in the right mind would buy such CRAP.. of course only the MANISTON FANS bwahahahahha!!!
