YOUR SCOOP FOR THE LOOT

SUGARLOOT WELCOMES BIGGER AND BETTER PRIZES

Lani

SugarLoot has the goods to put a smile on that face of yours, just like Lani. In addition to our Best Smile contest, our latest prizes will give you facial spasms you'll be beaming so much. Our prizes have gotten bigger and better; we've become the Oprah of the Internet.

First off, we're pretty sure you'll flip for the Flip Ultra Video Camera we're giving away for Best Smile. The Flip Ultra series lets you shoot video anywhere and it's easy to connect to your computer so you upload your footage in a flash.

The winner of Biggest Sports Fan will be able to avoid jail time for scalping tickets because we're giving away a $250 gift card to Ticketmaster. Yes, the one who probably has Peyton Manning tattooed over his or her heart will finally be able to get those tickets to see that Broadway show they've been yearning.

The staff at SugarLoot loves giving out prizes to the well-deserved winners. However, we also hope that our winners have quality time to share with their loved ones... in a completely non-stalker way. That is why we're giving away a $300 Travelocity gift certificate to the winners of Best Couple. We know there are some couples who have been dying to get a suite with that rotating heart-shaped bed even though it screams tacky. Well, now is your chance to take that second, first, or upcoming honeymoon.

NEXT GREAT STAR ON SUGARLOOT

Best Acting Skills

(Disclaimer: Read this in movie-preview voiceover.) In a world, where fame is everything and talent is key, comes one of the most anticipated contests of 2008. SugarLooters star in...Best Acting Skills.

Over in West Hollywood, there's a restaurant called Dukes. It has a bunch of celebrities' headshots on the wall with their signatures on it. Ask a manager how much they're worth and your jaw will drop.

Well, guess who will be the next celebrity with an opportunity to have a great headshot hanging on any hall of Fame? YOU.

After the Clique contest, we realized that there are loads of talent in SugarLoot and we're looking for the ones who got bit the hardest by the acting bug. Best Acting Skills is a great way to get a foot in the door on your path to following your dreams. Upload a video of you performing a short monologue. Now, not everyone got the lead in the school play, so if you need a piece to perform we've got some monologues for you from all the hot movies in recent years.

The one who has the promise of becoming the next Meryl Streep will win free headshots and a modeling portfolio. These are necessary items to make it in Hollywood and we're giving them to you for free. For once, future actors don't need to suck up to greedy producers or date scheming talent agents to get their foot in the door! All they need to have is the Best Acting Skills.

CATCHING UP WITH A SINGING SENSATION
Lisa

When we launched our Best and Worst Singer contest, we had entrants with vocal chords that were probably the reason Celine Dion felt the need to step down from her Vegas showcase. We caught up with Lisa who won an iPod Nano for being the Best Singer to see how she's doing after her remarkable win!

How did it feel to win Best Singer?

"I was actually shocked, because there was so many talented singers and I am very lucky to have won the singing contest."

Do you want to become the next pop sensation?

"No, I will never be a pop sensation. I'm more into karaoke than professional [singing]. I really don't see myself as that good but I feel I am an ok singer..."

What kinds of music do you listen to?

"I like a variety of music but I'm mostly into metal, rock and 80's music. I also love Evanescence!"

What is your favorite part about SugarLoot?

"The friends I have made who mean so much to me."

Robert's Entry
THE DAILIES DISCUSSION

The second we put "acting" and "contest" into one sentence, we immediately saw a bunch of you make daily 10's-pacts. Now, there has been a lot of controversy over this issue and we want to know what you think. It is not considered cheating to trade daily 10's, according to the SugarLoot rules.

The argument for and against daily 10's has been more dramatic than the Clinton vs. Obama campaign. When you swap daily 10's you form allies with each other and are able to connect more with your fans. Your entry is guaranteed a daily 10 everyday and you help your friends get a 10 everyday.

However, some people, especially in regards to the best acting skills contest, feel that 10's should be awarded to the talented and most worthy of entrants.

Both sides of the case make valid points. In preparation for us launching our brand-new community section for you guys, we want to launch a discussion in regards to many issues about SugarLoot that are important to you the Daily 10's discussion being the first. Do you trade dailies with people? Do you feel winners should be chosen by talent and not by how many dailies they trade? Our staff member Nugz published a supplementary blog entry that you can use to voice your opinions, ask for Daily 10's, or to comment on anything SugarLoot. See you there.
