It seems people can’t get enough of Jennifer Aniston and neither can popular celebrity magazines in the US.Aniston sits atop Forbes.com’s first-ever analysis of top-selling famous faces, based on several factors, including news-stand sales of celebrity weeklies over a six-month period ending June 30, as supplied by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.The 38-year-old actress graced six covers — appearing on every magazine except In Touch Weekly at least once during the time period — with her face collectively selling more than 5 million copies.Aniston’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, takes second place on the list, followed by Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Valerie Bertinelli and Kelly Ripa.
Britney Spears couldn’t make it to the list even though the 25-year-old pop star snagged 18 single covers during the six-month period. Britney’s 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 her consistently bad behaviour, 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 news-stand sales. The website 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.
