Wednesday morning magazine roundup

It was inevitable. It's now all Pippa. People fronts her as "Princess Kate's stunning sister" in its "All About Pippa!" cover. She's "fun, flirty and suddenly famous, the knockout sibling who stole the show," says Peeps, but come on, People! She may be most all that, but she didn't steal the show from Big Sis. Otherwise the mag (which also has it's June Style Watch special out with Blake Lively on the cover) has Shania Twain dishing on finding "love after betrayal," the Schwarzenegger split and the McCartney engagement.

More Pippa--with Kate--on the cover of US, with the focus on Pippa (the side column hypes "Jesse vs. Sandra--A twisted insult" and "The Real World--Dustin explains his gay past). But Life & Style goes with "Harry & Chelsy world exclusive--Another Royal Wedding!" ("You're next," it says Prince Harry told his longtime love"); In Touch, however, gives the Second Couple short shrift with its "Chelsy & Pippa's fight for Harry" headline atop the title, the cover going to "Tormented Over Their Bodies"--you guessed it, the Kardashians. Poor things, their mom is "pushing them to have surgery." The mag also reveals "the truth about Bristol's new face."

Star has a horrible cover showing "Stars Without Makeup" (please, we won't say who), while OK USA has official word from Katie that yes, Suri will finally be a big sister!

Tatler goes with actress Lily Collins, Phil's lovely daughter; Playboy likewise has Mick Jagger's daughter Lizzy, while Maxim has Cameron Diaz. Elle UK's June issue has a great shot of Cameron Diaz on the cover, her thoughts inside on therapy, love and "that body." Vogue's UK edition asks "What is it about Alexa Chung," noting how "her singular style and girl-next-door personality have inspired a generation of tomboys, countless fashion designers and a sell-out bag." (Happy to see that the-girl-of-the-moment singles our our pal Tennessee Thomas as "my style heroine. She's a drummer in a band and she looks great in all-in-ones.") And Eva Green graces the cover of Harper's Bazaar's UK entry.

Oprah's O is celebrating "25 unforgettable years of the Oprah Winfrey Show," with the namesake signing off with a big cover "thank you…for the joy, the laughs, the lessons, the adventure of a lifetime." Meanwhile, Ebony has its "Music Issue" featuring 25 of the hottest artists of the year, with Jill Scott on the cover.

Finally, Rolling Stone features a black-and-white photo of a young Bob Dylan to go with its "70 Greatest Dylan Songs" listing commemorating Dylan's 70th birthday--with appreciations from the likes of Bono, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Lucinda Williams. Number One is no surprise: "Like A Rolling Stone." Our fave, "Blowin' In The Wind," reached No. 20.
