Wednesday morning magazine roundup

People really puts the world in perspective. As it proclaims, “The Real Story” belongs, of course, to J.Lo and Marc Anthony’s “marriage explosion,” and if that ain’t enough, there’s Nick and Vanessa’s wedding photos and Elin Nordegren's re-emergence on the dating scene. But it’s got nothing on Us, which chimes in with J.Lo’s “side of the story" (Marc caught with stewardess, screaming fights about flirting with costars, a secret email to Ben Affleck--you know, the usual) plus Denise Richards' baby pics and, yes, Nick and Vanessa’s private island wedding.

The J.Lo/Marc “divorce shocker” is also on the cover of OK! USA (which also depicts Kim’s wedding and Angie’s inability to take Brad’s mystery woman), Life & Style (also with “secrets of the [Bachelorette] proposal” and baby girl Beckham’s first pics), In Touch (its big story goes to Teresa’s terror of being poor) and Star—which also provides 63 “shocking photos and interviews” of “plastic surgery confessions” from the likes of Madonna, Suzanne Somers, Lisa Rinna, and…Jennifer Aniston.

Rolling Stone gives us “The neurotic Zen of Larry David,” beating out “A conversation with the Dalai Lama” for the cover. Along the top, Mumford & Sons and “Clarence Clemons remembered” are promoted. At Interview its “Freida Pinto vs. The World” on the cover, with Maria Shriver’s feature on Gloria Steinem also highlighted.

Tilda Swinton’s on the cover of W’s “Fall Fashion Hits—exclusive preview” issue, while Out’s sports issue presents Michael Irvin on the cover, the story being how the NFL legend loved and lost a gay brother. Over at Men’s Fitness Hawaii Five-0’s Alex O’Loughlin is clearly “fit for prime time,” same with Rosario Dawson on the cover of Shape.

We’ll give Brides a mention for its “The Kate Effect” cover, same with National Geographic for its “Land of the Spirit Bear” portrait corresponding to its “The wildest place in America” story.

Finally, Time Out New York’s double issue presents its “Insider’s Guide to NYC,” with 60 "essential" tips on everything from catching a cab to hanging with celebs.
