This week, PEOPLE magazine was all ready to unleash its celebrated annual listing of the most beautiful people in the world. Julia Roberts was to be the cover girl; her classic movie star features -- those eyes, that smile -- were set to grace every supermarket checkout in America. The honor marks Jules' fourth time wearing the pretty people crown and her twelfth appearance on the list.

Each year, the mag runs its list as a cover story, and it's a big one -- the issue annually ranks among PEOPLE's bestsellers.

But what happens when the mag's big reveal, which is planned well in advance, is suddenly overshadowed by a bona fide bombshell -- exclusive news that demands not only immediate coverage but a cover? Well, sadly for Miss Roberts, she gets bumped (well, not entirely, that's her up there in the corner) to make room for the bigger story. And this week, we doubt there's a much bigger story (celeb-wise) than Sandra Bullock announcing that not only has she filed for divorce, she went ahead and adopted a bouncing baby boy.
