DRAFT TIPS:
- Before the Showdown officially begins, you must create a draft of 48 celebs that you want on your final team of 6.
- To make this draft process easy on you, we've randomly selected 48 celebs from A list to D list and put them in the "Your Celeb Picks" column. If you're happy with this list and the order they're placed in just hit "Update Players" and you're done!
- If you think you can make a better draft list, just swap out these celebs for others by dragging them back and forth from the left and right columns.
- Next, you may place "Your Celeb Picks" in order of preference by dragging them up and down the column, placing first choice celebs in first position, second choice in second position and so on.
- You may reorder your celeb picks anytime before the draft occurs, but no more changes are allowed after the draft is administered by Celebrity Beehive!
- After the draft happens, you will receive an email with your 6 celebs and the Contest begins! (Don't worry, if one of them is a dud, you can swap them out later!)

TIPS:
Do your research! When submitting your draft picks and choosing your two celebs to play each week ask yourself these questions:
- Who is getting married soon? (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were everywhere!)
- Who has a big premiere coming up and a new movie coming out? (remember all the coverage the Twilight cast members got!)
- Is someone headed to rehab or to jail?
- Did someone just get arrested?
- Is one of your female celebs having a baby? (lots of celebs land covers with exclusive baby pictures)
- Is one of your celebs having a big birthday bash? (Diddy got lots of coverage with his $3 million party)
- Is a celeb scandal just getting started? You may luck out and have a celeb who lands two covers in a row so be sure to play them both weeks (Tiger Woods had lots of magazine covers for a few weeks).
- Remember, you'll always know the magazines in advance so be sure to look at who they've been covering most lately. And does one of your celebs have an exclusive coming up with a certain magazine? (ex: Kourtney Kardashian's baby pics in Life & Style)
- Try to keep up on the latest reality TV show news and celebrity gossip so you'll get all the trivia answers correct! You'll be on a timer so the quicker you answer, the more points you'll get!
- When thinking about swapping one of your players, pick your new celeb carefully. Don't just pick a new celeb because they got arrested and may score a few pictures. Will the scandal continue on for weeks (Tiger comes to mind here) or just fade out quickly (Lindsay has too many to count)? Don't be hasty....think it through!
