Week Two Scores

(1) Jon -- 28
(2) Des -- 23
(3) Janelle -- 23
(4) Kat -- 14
(5) Lilly -- 7

(6) Hong -- 5
(7) Tabitha -- 5
(8) Ryan -- 4
(9) George -- 1
(10) Amit -- 0
Building on a nice first week, Jon again scores the top spot, mainly on the strength of his prescient pick up of Ashlee Simpson. Cries of foul play and "cheater" quickly followed when Ashlee appeared on the cover and then subsequently racked up 14 points. In a press release Jon stated that "I had no advance knowledge of Ashlee appearing on the cover, I did not illegally pre-pick up Ashlee, I did not try to talk anyone out of taking Ashlee. I guess it was just the celebrity gods helping me out. I just have to give it up to them. I am not a crook."

While Jon had a great week, Janelle and Des were hardly slouches themselves, accumulating astounding totals of 23 points apiece. Des had the mighty power of Britney (16 pts) behind her. Britney has been literally carrying Des to the top, outscoring the rest of her team by more than double. Proving that Spears-Federline is the royal family of gossip, Janelle continues to ride Sean Preston (10 pts this week, 7 last week) and K-Fed (6 pts) up the charts.

Kat's riding a nice little wave of covers, with Angelina last week and Matthew McConaughey on an inset this week. With matching back-to-back 14 point weeks, Kat is waiting for another Angelina and baby cover, which is pretty much destined to come this month. Kat is suffering from some blues however, as Sarah Jessica Parker and Demi Moore have yet to score. Plus, Adam Brody is at -2 points for the season.

Speaking of low scores, George and Amit combined this week for a grand total of 1 point. Nicole Richie and Halle Berry both had "They Do It Too" to negate their positive points. Out of 12 celebrities combined, George and Amit could only get one point from Richie Sambora (a recent add/drop by George no less, otherwise...). Still, hope shines eternal and this is only our second week. Despite not accumulating any points this week, Kristin Cavalerri was seen by Jon and Hong on the streets of LA. Hong promptly lost his mind and got super excited and Jon pretended like he didn't know who Kristin was. Gotta maintain that rep bro. There should be an extra super bonus for actually seeing and saying "hi" to your celebrity. Like you get 20 points or something.
First Person Perspective:
Kristin was wearing a long white t-shirt/skirt type of thing. Very loose, very blousy. She rolled up with her boyfriend Brody Jenner and was rushed immediately into Hollywood's "The Lobby." Kristin had short hair with blonde and dark streaks and looked much taller in real life. The car she rolled up in was black. Yes, definitely black.
Ryan and Hong are basically just praying for huge coverage for Pirates of the Caribbean. Without covers and/or in-depth stories, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley are looking like dead weight. The only celebrity worth her wait so far is Lindsay Lohan for Ryan, and she's been decidedly sub-par. At least Hong has Kate Bosworth as Superman approaches right?

And in our final note, Tabitha had a little gender snafu as she tried to slip Shiloh Pitt-Jolie a p-nis under the cover of night and classify her as a boy. Instead, astute celebrity player Ryan pointed out that Shiloh was a female and thus not exchangeable for Hugh Jackman. Ryan also won $5 from Janelle, since she thought Shiloh was a boy too. So even if Ryan isn't winning at the league, he's the only one of us so far who's made any money playing it.

Ooh ooh!I saw the pics of Kristen in that short white shirt-dress thing from Friday night! (refer to pic I'm sending you) You saw her??? She was at Paris' house party that night too! Man she should not be getting this much publicity.
