Star hits the jackpot this week.

It is the ONLY cover focusing on Jen Aniston and John Mayer’s relationship – giving it a very good chance to succeed on the newsstand.  (People, US and OK! each focused on Madonna’s divorce.)

The picture of Jen is one of the best, energetic photos of Jen Aniston I’ve seen in a LONG TIME.

The overall cover hits the two key questions that readers want to know about lonely Jen – wedding and babies.  (According to Australia’s New Weekly, not sure if John had a choice on the baby front.)

Plus, the main line “Marry Me” is from Jen’s point of view.  I believe the reader will “buy this.”  You know, Jen being the one to pop the question.

There are also strong details in the dek including the pair moving in together, Jen meeting John’s parents and Jen’s naughty birthday surprise.

Moving on to the insets and Star tries something new by placing full quotes in the Madonna story.

• From Madonna: She warns “Don’t call me an old granny, you coldhearted %*&!
• From Guy: She won’t have sex & sleeps in a plastic bag. Plus, he wants son Rocco.

I love this approach.  Personally, I would have used up more space with this really strong inset and kicked out one of the other two insets.

Bottom Line: This will be a true test if readers care about Jen’s romance with John Mayer.
