Jennifer Aniston Is The Tabloids’ Number One Girl - PIC

Forbes has created its first-ever list of the top-selling celebrity faces, and the most appealing celebrity to grace magazine covers? Jennifer Aniston! Her face has sold over 5 million copies.

She’s followed by:
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

To come up with the list, Forbes “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 least appealing celebs were Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. It’s amazing that after the whole Brad and Angelina news-apalooza, Jennifer Aniston is still the mags’ golden girl.
