Up-to-the-minute Draft News!!!The first ever USWeekly Fantasy League Draft commenced on Monday, September 4 in the back room at Cafe BabaReeba. Amid the tapas and flowing sangria (and diet Coke and ginger ale), six coaches (and one absentee coach) selected teams via a draft auction. With $200 of play money, the highest priced celeb was none other than tabloid friendly Jessica Simpson. She went for the jaw dropping price of $72, sold to Team Kuna, coached by Sarah.
Jessica was quickly followed by Lindsay Lohan, also no stranger to the tabloids, for $67, bought by Hips Don't Lie (or do they?), coached by Sandy. Katie Holmes and the never ending will-they-won't-they speculation was selected by the SexyBacks (coached by Courtney) for a fair sum of $61. Jennifer Aniston was snatched up by Team SP (Sean Prestons, run by Kim [they share the same birthday]) for $55, and Paris Hilton was sold respectively to Team Taradise for the going price of $45. Not to be outdone, Britney was bought for $35 by our absentee coach, Oganna, of the Mall Rats and K-Fed for $33 to the Savi Man Squad (coached by Kathryn).
Other interesting draft selections:
-- A third round selection of Paul McCartney for $14 by the SexyBacks
-- Team SPs completed the trifecta by securing Angelina and Brad, in addition to Jennifer. Sadly, Vince went to the Savi ManSquad.
-- Nicole Ritchie was bought for $35 by Hips Don't Lie in the sixth round. That is approximately more than her current body weight.
-- Our lowest priced celebs: $2 for Paula Abdul (Team Taradise), $2 for Hilary Duff (The Kunas) and $1 for Brooke Shields (Team SPs)
-- And completely not draft related, Kathryn announced that she is pregnant and due in January. Congrats, Kathryn and Cody!!
