Aniston named top cover star

Jennifer Aniston has been revealed as the world's top cover star by Forbes.

The Friends actress topped the list, which calculated the sales of People, Star, Us Weekly, In Touch, OK! and Life & Style publications over a six-month period, worked out the number of covers celebrities appeared on, and analysed the consumer appeal for each star.

Aniston beat Brad Pitt, who was the only man to break into the top ten, into second place.

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears were named as the celebrities with the lowest consumer appeal rating, despite the fact that the 'Toxic' singer appeared on more covers than anybody else on the list.

Here in the full top ten:

1. Jennifer Aniston
2. Brad Pitt
3. Scarlett Johansson
4. Angelina Jolie
5. Reese Witherspoon
6. Katie Holmes
7. Carrie Underwood
8=. Jennifer Hudson
