Curses. Again. [Updated]

I began tracking the Redbook curse a year ago, when Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards graced the February cover, then promptly hit the rocks. Since then, cover subjects Nick and Jessica (March 2004), Jennifer Aniston (June 2003), and Heather Locklear (October 2001 and July 2005) have all taken up residence in Splitsville. Hilary Swank (March 2005) has also been pricing real estate there.

Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow, however, didn’t even wait for their cover to come out. That’s right, the March issue of Redbook, due on newsstands in mere days, features Crow on the cover. Foiled again.

UPDATE: As you can see from this advance image, the cover line has Crow saying, “I’ve found my true self,” although now it’s apparently without Lance, despite what she says on the inside (“Lance and I were and are just happy to be together.”) Redbook’s recent breakup record is now 4 for 15 with one leaner. Britney Spears appeared on the cover in January 2005. (The full March cover appears after the jump.)
