Preliminary Matchup Results -- Week 11

Most of these games were pretty comfortable -- I did recheck the AJ/RF game, but that or the others may have mistakes. Jessica won the week for everybody with a dominating game.

Head-to-head results, Week 9

AJ Simon 54 points vs. Rudy Huxtable 54 points
Willis Jackson 46 points vs. Blair Warner 36 points
Ponch 61 points vs. Mrs. King 46 points

Note that we have a one-point match this week. No one backed up my scoring, so if someone wants to go through the magazine to do so, please let me know. Otherwise I will go through it again (at least for Rudy's and AJ's teams).

Edited to add: Rudy went back and rescored both her team and AJ's and found that I made a mistake in scoring Brad Pitt--I only gave him three points, but should have given him four (in his last photo in the magazine he is carrying Zahara). So I edited everyone's team who had Pitt, adding a point in head-to-head and overall matchups. As a result, Rudy and AJ tied for the week, which is reflected in the standings.

Scoring update and accessory of the week

Okay, AJ just e-mailed me and since I went ahead and posted the preliminary scores, I'm going to finish out the scoring this week. Everything will be posted soon.

Accessory of the week--a microphone in the celebrity's hand or attached to the celebrity in some way (such as a headpiece-type device).

Week 9 scoring

AJ told me that he is going to do the scoring for week 9, so the results as well as week 10's accessory of the week, should be forthcoming.

Celebrity scores, week 9

Thank goodness Britney carries her baby everywhere! Her points doubled because of the accessory of the week (babe in arms)--she was carrying Sean Preston in every picture that ran.

Overall Standings, Week 8

These are the overall standings after week 8. I noticed that AJ said he was going to score this week (week 9) but I'm not sure if that was confirmed, so I will start on that next. Hopefully I can have those scores and standings up before the end of tonight and then everything will be set for tomorrow.

1. Carol Seaver, 7-1-0, 463 points
2. Ponch, 6-2-0, 404 points
3. Colt Seavers, 6-2-0, 397 points
4. Moogie, 5-3-0, 391 points
5. Mrs. King, 4-4-0, 433 points
6. Rudy Huxtable, 4-4-0, 430 points
7. Isaac, Your Bartender, 4-4-0, 421 points
8. Spellbound, 4-4-0, 329 points

Week 8, final head-to-head

Laura Holt 30 points vs. Spellbound 56 points
Red Fraggle 18 points vs. Snarf 26 points
Laura Ingalls Wilder 53 points vs. Colt Seavers 28 points
Isaac, Your Bartender 36 points vs. Carol Seaver 47 points
Moogie 32 points vs. Mrs. King 74 points
Ferris Bueller 31 points vs. Rudy Huxtable 42 points
A.J. Simon 49 points vs. Willis Jackson 37 points
Ponch 27 points vs. Blair Warner 70 points

Final scores, week 8, finally

I have italicized the scores that are different in final form than they were when Holt counted them as preliminary scores. Week 8's accessory was the cell phone. When choosing it I didn't think of the Blackberry/Sidekick issue. I counted any cell phone, Blackberry, Treo or Sidekick as a cell phone here. Since we don't know if said celeb has cell service on it, but all are capable of being cells, they all counted. I put in parentheses if a celebrity got points for having a cell, but those points are already reflected in the final score.

Finally, I had lower scores than Holt for Pam Anderson, Jennifer Aniston, Kid Rock (when you factor in his cell) and Vince Vaughn. I went through the magazine four times specifically looking for the extra point she had for them, and couldn't find it. So if Holt or someone else thinks I was wrong and there was an extra photo of any of them, please send me the page numbers of all of the photos so I can see where I went wrong, because I truly can't find anything else.

Scoring update from week 8

Holt scored last week, but is now away and never had a chance to put together the final scores as well as the week eight overall standings. I am going to do that this morning. That will then make it easier for the week nine scores to be tallied up.

Early Returns -- Week 9

Adultery is probably not the way to go about it, but I think Kate Hudson and the Butterscotch Stallion are going to be our generation's Hepburn/Tracy. They get started on being the iconic couple of the 21st century on the cover this week, with insets on Jessica Simpson with a Message for Nick; Katie Holmes, proud mother of somebody who, Jada Pinkett Smith insists, is real; and Nicole Richie explaining why she snapped (probably something to do with not eating).
I can score this week if nobody is desperate to score themselves.

Standings

If the playoffs began today (and it would be odd if they did, given that we're only halfway through the season) Carol and Ponch would have the byes, with Colt, Moogie, Mrs. King, and Rudy edging out Isaac to make the 6-team field. This week really demonstrated (for good or bad) the features of the teams changing weekly -- a 6-1 team lost to a 1-6 team by 50 points.

Apologies and accessory of the week

Sorry I haven't submitted the results of this week yet--I have been working all weekend and am finally heading out to purchase the magazine. Results to follow soon.

The accessory of the week for next week: cell phone. Must be carried by the celebrity.

If only

Perez Hilton wasn't thrilled with this week's Us Weekly cover either. Here's what he says:

This is one of the worst covers ever!
If we ran Us Weekly, we would have made Melgate the main item and chosen the following sub-stories for the sidebar: Lindsay Lohan's crazy week, Pamela Anderson & Kid Rock's wedding, plus the truth about Justin & Cameron.

I have to agree! And if that were the case, I would have gotten every person on the cover and would be looking a whole lot better than I do with this Lachey/Minnillo crap.

Week 7 cover


Great, the first week I don't pick Lachey, and this is what happens.

Nick Lachey: 13 points
Vanessa Minnillo: 3 points
Pam Anderson: 3 points
Mel Gibson: 3 points
Leah Remini: 3 points

Preliminary standings:
Ferris Bueller: 22 points (Anderson, Minnillo, Gibson, Lachey)

Mrs. King: 22 points

Laura Ingalls Wilder: 22 points
Colt Seavers: 19 points (Anderson, Gibson, Lachey)
Carol Seaver: 19 points (Anderson, Gibson, Lachey)
Rudy Huxtable: 19 points (Anderson, Gibson, Lachey)
Blair Warner: 19 points (Anderson, Minnillo, Lachey)
Laura Holt: 16 points (Anderson, Lachey)

A.J. Simon: 6 points (Anderson, Gibson)

Early Returns -- Week 7

Apparently, Vanessa is the anti-Jessica (wrote a whole dissertation on fish and chicken). Nick Lachey takes the cover and a Vanessa/Nick inset, Mel Gibson should have gotten the cover but didn't (I think I know who he blames) and Pam gets only an inset (apparently multiple weddings doesn't get the cover every week). And, in Saved by the Bell/Scientology news, Leah Remini has lost 80 pounds.

Some high-scoring battles shaping up this week . . .

Rules

I thought it would make sense to put all of the rules we have in one place, particularly because we now have rules about what to do if someone posts two A-listers.

1.) Everyone can post a team of seven women and seven men every week, no later than Sunday nights, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

2.) If you don't post a new team by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, the team you had from the previous week will be your team.

3.) You can only have one female member of the A-list and one male member of the A-list on your team at a time.

Female A-list
Jennifer Aniston
Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Jessica Simpson
Britney Spears

Male A-list
George Clooney
Tom Cruise
Jake Gyllenhaal
Matthew McConaughey
Brad Pitt

4.) If you post a team with too many players, the names of the non-A-list players will go in a hat and one will be pulled. The name pulled out will be eliminated from your team for that week.

5.) If you post a team with too few players, the names of the non-A-list players you chose the week before who are not on your current team will be thrown into a hat. The one pulled will be added to your current team.

6.) If you choose too many A-listers in a week, the names of your chosen A-listers will be thrown in a hat. The name pulled will be your A-lister for the week. To fill the new empty spot on your team, follow rule 5.

7.) If you have trouble posting your team you must contact someone in the league before 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday to get them to post your team. If you don't have internet access, call Red Fraggle or Laura Holt. (I'm not printing our numbers here, but we have e-mailed them to everyone.)

8.) There will be a six-team playoff. Teams ranked 1 and 2 at the end of the 15-week regular season will get a bye in the first week. Team 3 will play team 6 and team 4 will play team 5 in playoff week one. In playoff week two, team 1 will play the lower-seeded team remaining, team 2 will play the higher-seeded team remaining. The third playoff week, the two remaining teams will play for the championship.
