I have read the instructions on BBC website, but still don't quite understand - can anyone explain it to me please?

You are given money to start with (all fake money obviously) and can buy shares in a certain celebrity. Depending on how many column inches that celeb gets each week will determine how much their share goes up or down.  If you buy shares in jordan for �2.00 each and then she does a centre spread this weekend the shares will go up to about �4.00 each so that extra �2 per share goes into your account.

The aim is to make as much money from your celeb as poss to make it into the league tables.  There you can make a �100 or something like that if you make lots of profit.

you can sell your celebs too

Think of your celebrities as shares on the stock market.

If they are doing well (appearing in the papers etc), their value goes up and if they are not doing well the value drops. You get paid a dividend on how well they are doing each week I think.

How often should I buy/ sell my celebs?  Hourly?  Daily?  Weekly?

I usually look at the weekly email update on what my shares have made (which comes on a Friday) and decide what to sell based on that, and at the same time look through the lists and buy new people if I fancy.  I might look at the site midweek as well if I'm particularly bored at work.  I'm sure the people higher up the league than me monitor it more often than that though!
