Janice Min’s Us Weekly Loves Reese & Jake: AND THIS WEEK SO DO I
Us Weekly features Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon on its cover looking at trip vacation pics.
Hey, that could be me!
This cover is what Us Weekly is all about.
Stars really are like us. (Bonnie Fuller created that vision for Us Weekly and Janice Min continues to ride on her coattails.)
In the past, I haven’t been a fan of this story because I don’t think a lot of readers are talking about this couple.
But this cover photo is a winner and will walk off the newsstand. And, in the celebrity weekly category newsy photos like this are rare.
On another note, you can tell that the In Touch and Us Weekly did not have strong sales with the Madonna-A-Rod covers from last week.
Why?
Both skipped them as main cover topics this week.
However, Us Weekly does feature an interesting inset of Cynthia Rodriguez with the line “Destroyed by Madonna.”
I’m starting to feel very little sympathy for C-Rod because I believe she’s taking advantage of Madonna’s fame to embarrass A-Rod and get a bigger divorce settlement.
And, the Katherine Heigl line “How She’ll Die on Grey’s” is really strong - especially if you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan. In fact, this could have been a full cover for TV Guide.
Bottom line: Summer is about vacation and many readers will grab this copy off the newsstand.
