There is, unfortunately, no science to this.’ Perhaps one explanation could be that men don’t sell as well for the pop culture monthly — Bruce Willis, Owen Wilson, Chris Rock, Leonardo DiCaprio, and James Gandolfini all appeared on the cover in the first half, compared to female cover subjects like Naomi Watts, Lindsay Lohan, and Teri Hatcher in last year’s first half.
