Angelina outsells Jennifer Aniston as Forbes’ most valuable celebrity face

People are more likely to buy a magazine when they like who’s on the cover, and this year Forbes found Angelina Jolie to be our #1 go-to mag girl. Whether it’s reading up on her ever-expanding family or her latest charity work, we're more interested in reading about Angie than any other star, including Jennifer Aniston who topped last year’s list. 

Coming in third is the late Heath Ledger, whose tragic death marked a shift in male cover sales, which are typically much lower than those of female celebs. 

This year’s biggest loser? Hollywood’s lead money-making tween, Miley Cyrus. Perhaps sometimes popularity doesn’t yield tabloid sales. 

Are you more likely to buy a magazine with Angelina or Jennifer on the cover? Which celeb can you not stop reading about? [OMG

    I do enjoy articles more with Angelina Jolie - - she is just more open than Jennifer Anniston about her life & the choices. There is really no comparison between the two of them, they are nothing alike. They both have the "IT" factor, just differently.

    I think where everyone gets it twisted is that we think they should be alike and they aren't. Everyone doesn't want to adopt children, be a humamitarian, fly planes, etc, and just because you don't do that or favor that, doesn't mean you are a bad person. I think that is where Jennifer gets a bad rep. I admire her for her discipline to work out, she was on a hit TV series for many years, and she has done some great movies -- maybe she hasn't gotten an Oscar, but she is doing very well for herself as an actress. Most people who want to act would enjoy a career as lucrative and successful as Jennifers is to date.

    I mean, for god-sakes, Angelina's children are CONSTANTLY photographed eating junk food, she carries Shiloh all the time, and geez......COMB ZAHARA'S HAIR!! She's beautiful too and we would recognize it more with well-cared for hair.

    See, they both have human foibles. It's the "human fraility" that sells the magazines....and Angelina's "come-hither" gaze and lips help in that respect.

    I like both actresses but for different reasons. Angie revamped her life and is now an inspiration. Jen isher own person and seems to know what she wants. I just wish it wasn't Brad.

    Why isAngelina an inspiration? Because she had an affair with a married man, then had children with him without getting married? Sold their pictures for huge amounts of cash? Because she adopted foreign born children for publicity? Gee.. so many things to choose from

    Ok, nobody polled me, and I'd definitely buy a Jen magazine over an Angelina one any day. I don't even feel like Angelina has any substance as an actress; she's always playing a shoot em up killer or femme fatale with psychological problems. Jen has played dark roles, silly roles, touching roles, and was believable in all of them.

    I wonder why people hate Angelina so much. Its seems to me that she has done wonderful things (ie: adopting children in order to give them a better life, donating huge sums to charity, etc). And Rowdygirl, she isn't married because she and Brad have decided that they wont get married until gay people have all the same rights as the rest of America. I think that they are doing the right thing, since this is a free country and gay Americans are just as American as the rest of us, so they should have all the same rights as the rest of us. That also means that Brad and Angelina have the right to have children outside of wedlock. That doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them parents who just happen to not be married. So stop hating! lol.

    This article is disgusting. How can you be so callous to compare them so brazenly? Let them both alone already and have a little class. I'm sure Jen has long moved on and you all should too.

    I don't know why people have so much animosity towards Angelina. Look at what she's doing for the world? She's a humanitarian, how can someone like that be bad? I think there are faults on all sides Brad's, Jen's and Angies. But you can't change the past and if you've ever had that feeling, then you can't deny the attraction or fault anyone for acting on it.

    I don't think Jennifer would have even made that high on the list if it weren't for Angelina. That said, its probably an honor to be bankable, but its gotta be a drag to always come in second to "her". LOL.
