It's a boy/girl thing
I think fundamentally it depends how you look at it.

As we all know, magazine covers are designed to be looked at "at a glance," predominantly by females. However, as males, we consider magazine covers not "as a whole," but more, "mmm, totty. what next?" even the gayest males among us will be drawn at least to the girl's eyes before even noticing it's a girl's magazine.
So then your natural progression, as a fella, is to follow your pervy route of, "she's pretty, can I see her tits?" and your eye follows the strap on her dress/bra, and ultimately you end up with a resounding "no, but what's this?!" as you read the headline. It's the snakes n ladders of magazines and you just fell down a snake!

Like it or not, that's what's happening, all in a split second - and that's why this post exists.

Lots of love,
