Jen tops the list!
According to a recent analysis by Forbes, Jen is the star whose image is the most likely to sell magazines. Their study model, which includes likability, cover frequency, and newsstand sales, showed that without even trying, Jen performs strongly in all of these categories. In the study period, which spanned the first half of 2007, Jen appeared on the cover of every tabloid except for In Touch, and her likability index was second only to Sandra Bullock’s. Candace Trunzo of Star magazine cites the much-publicized twists in Jen’s personal life as a factor:
“She’s the classic wronged woman,” says the editor. “I think that most women can relate to and empathize with someone that was so in love with a man who, in an incredible Hollywood twist, leaves her for his co-star in a film.”
Ultimately, though, it seems that likability plays a most significant role, as this is a trait that Jen shares with others on the list. Reese Witherspoon and Carrie Underwood, who scored right behind Jen in likability, were both among the top ten. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, the two stars rated least likable, fell behind. What does this mean for Jen? While it is always a positive to be well-liked, this means that the media intrusion on her personal life will continue for as long as there is money to be made. And right now there is a lot of money being made from stories about her. Luckily, with Jen’s experience in the public eye, we can count on her to handle it all with class. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking, but with her recent spurt of activity on film sets, maybe these media sources will turn their attention to the fact that she is an actress, and in fact a very good one. After all, it’s not like they’d be telling us something we don’t already know!

I’m sure this is one list she would rather not be on because the intrusion into her personal life is too much and so much of what is written about her is not true, but the tabs have to make up or embellish a story to make it interesting and sell. the tabs make lots of money from Jen - they should at least be nicer to her and not have the nasty and sensational headline that Star does and sometimes OK.
