Jennifer Aniston’s Face Sells Magazine

Jennifer’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, took second place, followed by Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Carrie Underwood (seriously?), Jennifer Hudson, Valerie Bertinelli (OMG, what year is it?), and Kelly Ripa.

Britney Spears isn’t on the list even though the 25-year-old pop star snagged 18 single covers during the six-month period. Spears’ face fails when it comes to sales, Forbes.com said, and she is only slightly more likable than Paris Hilton.

Consumers have grown tired of Spears’ consistently bad behavior, In Touch Weekly Editor in Chief Richard Spencer is quoted as saying.

“Usually there’s a roller coaster of emotions,” he says. “But unfortunately for Britney, there’s been no roller coaster lately, there’s just been the downhill.”

Also missing from the list: Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson.

Forbes.com calculated the tabloid appeal of a celebrity by comparing how many issues a cover sold with the magazine’s average newsstand sales. The Web site then factored in the number of full covers a celeb graced, and ranked his or her consumer appeal using data from Encino, Calif-based polling firm E-Poll Market Research to rule out flukes.

Why in the world would they not rule out Valerie Bertinelli as a fluke? Are Lifetime TV movies really that popular?
