(2) Jon -- 101
(3) Des -- 92
(4) Lilly -- 71
(5) George -- 66

(6) Kat -- 59
(7) Ryan -- 44
(8) Hong -- 36
(9) Amit -- 30
(10) Tabitha -- 29
A model of consistency, our champion and inaugural official celebrity expert is Janelle. Never finishing worse than 3rd place in any of the weeks of competition, Janelle also never scored lower than 13 points in any of her weeks. In fact, with an average of 20pts per week, Janelle could set the new scoring standard for many seasons to come. Fueled by super baby Sean Preston Spears (44 pts) and the partying duo of Jessica Simpson (25 pts) and Kevin Federline (24 pts), Janelle took on all comers and really pulled away in Week Five as she managed a dominating 24 point performance to secure the lead and the win. Even lesser lights like Carmen Electra and Mischa Barton combined for 19 points on the season, nearly outpacing the output of some of our league's weaker teams.

A big high-five to Janelle for winning, and a year's worth of US Magazines to you!

Week Six Scores

(1) George -- 14
(2) Amit -- 14
(3) Janelle -- 13
(4) Jon -- 10
(5) Hong -- 8

(6) Tabitha -- 7
(7) Lilly -- 6
(8) Kat -- 4
(9) Ryan -- 2
(10) Des -- 1
Heading into our final week, Amit finally goes from ashy to classy. Behind a Tom Cruise cover, Amit scores a nifty 14 points and is vindicated for the season. In a battle of the exes, Nicole Kidman scored 11 points to Tom's 10 points, vaulting George to number one for the week in a tie-breaker. In other exciting news, Hong cracks the Top 5 yet again with another semi-strong showing. For some reason, Tori Spelling wasn't picked up even after a huge cover and article last week. Her cover insert goes unscored. Des must be rueing the day she dropped Katie Holmes, especially since Britney finally, finally, disappeared (almost) from the pages of the magazine.

TomKat!

Finally, a sigh of relief as TomKat makes an appearance on the cover. Too little too late maybe, but at least the Spears-Federlines were shut out of the cover for the first time. And how about that Nicole Kidman? She's on the cover for two weeks in a row and that's just gotta warm George's heart. Nobody thought Tori Spelling would be on the cover again (she's still a free agent)? Shame shame...

Overall Standings (WK 5)

(1) Janelle -- 107
(2) Des -- 91
(3) Jon -- 91
(4) Lilly -- 65
(5) Kat -- 55

(6) George -- 52
(7) Ryan -- 42
(8) Hong -- 28
(9) Tabitha -- 22
(10) Amit -- 16
Janelle shoots up to the top and has given herself quite a cushion heading into the homestretch. Can Des or Jon catch her? It's not looking good. But with Britney, anything can happen. More importantly, can Hong maintain his lead over Tabitha? Or will her US Weekly reading skills give her the gossip queen crown in that relationship? To be continued...

Add/Drop (Week 5)

(1) Janelle - Add Keith Urban, Drop Ryan Phillippe

Week Five Scores

unofficial scores
(1) Janelle -- 24
(2) George -- 20
(3) Des -- 16
(4) Ryan -- 15
(5) Hong -- 11

(6) Lilly -- 10
(7) Jon -- 5
(8) Kat -- 5
(9) Tabitha -- 1
(10) Amit -- -3
Janelle vaults into the lead behind another strong showing from Sean Preston Spears. Jon totally took a dump this weekend and it looks like his team has gassed out. George has decided to finally join in the game and scored a nice 20 points behind her two Nicoles. In a topsy turvy week, Ryan and Hong both notched top five showings while Lilly and Kat fell a little short of their normal scores. Amit, -3 (negative)? Ouch.
