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.

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.

We've got a new winner this week folks! Lilly, with an outstanding 21 points, takes the top spot with her man-licious combo of Brad and Vince. The only wrong move Lilly made all week was releasing Jack Black right before Nacho(ooooooo) Libre was released. Still, 21 points vaults her back into contention for the championship.

Jon and Janelle are still going strong, securing the #2 and #3 spots this week. Neither of them have been below the top three so far in the season and their lowest point total in any week so far has been 17 points.

And what about Kat? With another Angelina cover, Kat scores 14 points yet again. That's three straight weeks of 14 points! How is that possible? Is it a cosmic coincidence or a sign of stunning stability?

Showing that trashy is never out of style, Britney continues to rack up points each week. Who's not racking up points? How about Keira Knightley, with a grand total of -1 points for the season. Ryan keeps the faith however, knowing that Keira will have to blow up eventually. The key words there are "faith" and "eventually."

And here's to some more losers. How about that Matt Damon? How about Nicole Kidman? 0 pts for the season for both. And you wonder why George is skimming the bottom... Fellow bottom feeder Hong has his top three picks (Depp, Bloom, Clarkson) scoring a total of 2 points in three weeks. Not exactly a recipe for success.

US Weekly subscriber and celebrity fantatic Tabitha isn't doing too hot either. Her Jessica Alba has nearly outscored the entire rest of her team despite accumulating only 8 points total. And what about Amit? Did he recover from last week's goose egg? Yes he did, with a resounding 6 points, half of which were acquired by George Clooney.

It's not looking good for some of our team owners. Have they lost interest? Or will they fight on? Remember, anything can happen and if we're playing to six weeks, there's still a lot of covers and pictures to count up!

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.

In our inaugural week, it was clear that whoever had Angelina would probably have a great start to the season. Kat certainly had to be happy with Angelina’s dominating 14-pt individual performance but not so happy with the rest of her team pulling a big fat zero (Gavin’s 2 pts were negated by Adam Brody’s appearance in “They Do It Too.”)

Brad and Maddox owners must have been miffed to not see the two of them on the cover, but Brad recovered nicely with a strong 6 points for Lilly. With a strong showing by Vince “Sloppy Seconds” Vaughn (4 pts) Lilly had a great start to her season as well powered by her two men dominating the spotlight.

Amit was one of two teams (Janelle was the other) to have his entire team put points on the scoreboard. Halle Berry was his top X-factor with 3 pts. Tabloid queen Britney and still hot item Denise Richards racked up 8 pts for Des on what might even be deemed a “slow” week. With a well balanced showing, Janelle had super sleepers Carmen Electra (5 pts, 1 on a baby picture of Mrs Electra) and Sean Preston Spears (7 pts) leading the way, powering her to a strong second place for the week.

It’s looking like the selection of babies and mothers could really pay dividends. All of these moms and kids are showing up everywhere. For example, Gwen Stefani had a very surprising 7 pts, and the battle of the babies had Sean Preston Spears (7 pts) vs Maddox Pitt-Jolie (3 pts).

And how about that American Idol thing? Taylor Hicks (3 pts) narrowly edged out Ryan Seacrest (2 pts) and Katherine McPhee (1 pt) for top honors – not to exclude Kelly Clarkson’s 1 pt.

The big surprise this week is Jon sitting up top (of the world and the league) with a whopping 20 big points. Behind Jennifer Aniston’s awe dropping 10 pts, the question is, has he peaked too early?
