DOS Ch-82
I love the fact that I was reborn in a time when we had cell phones. I can’t even imagine living without it. Internet and technology hadn’t evolved enough to give birth to good smartphones with high speeds. My current phone, the Nokia 9210 Communicator, was good enough for texting and sending simple emails. I couldn’t wait for the iPhone to come and rock this market in 2007. So using the superior technology of Nokia (for that time), I was emailing my girlfriend long distance.Em: My mum suspects…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I have taken a little inspiration from and ,” Evan began explaining his script. “The male protagonist, that’s you, is a huge pop star. The female protagonist is Bailey. Bailey’s younger sister is a cancer patient and a huge fan of yours. Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, she got tickets to your concert, where Bailey came along. The twist is that Bailey hates you and all superstars. When you two accidentally run into each other before the concert, you have an argument where she doesn’t…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

DOS Ch-146
Benji was more than a little excited to see the upcoming movie starring two of his good friends, Troy and Emily. It was such a strange feeling seeing Emily finally living her dream of becoming an actress. If Benji wanted to, he could have asked Troy for a similar favor, and Troy, being such a good person, would have gladly helped Benji become an actor. However, Benji was utterly talentless when it came to acting or singing. He didn’t even have the desire to pursue such a career and was content staying…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Everything okay?” Scarlett asked when I returned to the set, still shirtless.“Yeah,” I feigned nonchalance. “Caruso had some pointers for the scene.”“Great,” she said, sarcasm dripping from her voice. “Didn’t realize the scene had changed to you kissing yourself. Of course, the actress won’t need any pointers.”I chuckled at her antics before explaining, “It wasn’t like that. He says the scene doesn’t look good from a viewer’s perspective, and apparently, it’s because of…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The moment we stepped into the Presidential Suite, the door clicked shut behind us. Quiet luxury enveloped the space—elegant, expensive, utterly private. It was strange how accustomed I’d grown to places like this, barely giving it a second glance, while Scarlett let out a low whistle of appreciation. Early in my acting career, I hadn’t been extravagant. Growing up poor with my biological mother had left me wary of spending on things I didn’t need. My adoptive parents had broken that habit by…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

DOS Ch-29
After that day, the shooting progressed relatively smoothly. There were days when we could get as much as 10 scenes in a day and there were days when even one scene was difficult to wrap up.But the overall shooting experience was very good. I learned a lot from the director, the camera/sound crew, and my co-actors. One of the most difficult things as an actor is to make sure to know where to look or stand for that matter. Or as they call it, 'to hit the mark'.This may seem trivial to a layman, but we have…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I felt deeply ashamed of myself that two kids had to tell me that I needed to improve my behavior. I hadn’t even realized that I was being so snappy recently, or that everyone was treating me like a glass cannon. When they said that she would take all my anger for everyone else, I couldn’t help but feel devastated and overcome with grief. That, when mixed with everything going on in my life, I couldn’t control my emotions.I felt blessed to have friends like Emma and Jamie who didn’t say anything to…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I still can’t believe that it happened. I felt as if I was in a daze. The lawyer that Dad sent over to us, Joel Sullivan, arrived at the same time as the police and the paramedics. The paramedics were mostly for Gia because she was the one who had passed out, but that didn’t mean I came out of the fight unscathed. Most of my face was bruised, and my head still hurt a little from when I hit it against the bathtub at the start of the fight. After establishing that I didn’t have a concussion, the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The shooting for the day was yet to begin, and since we were filming outdoors, I decided to check some of my financials in the meantime. The report from my business manager, Andrew Cohen, had been more than encouraging. Thanks to my active involvement in Crocs, their business was booming. The 2004 revenue had already reached $250 million, and it would almost certainly cross $500 million in 2005. I laughed inwardly, knowing that the company founders were probably regretting their lack of foresight in…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Seeing the audience’s reactions during the premiere of any of my movies is always a treat. Of course, it helped that all my films were carefully chosen from my meta-knowledge, as they were already destined to be critical darlings. might have been an exception to that rule, but I knew it would succeed thanks to its chartbuster songs.“It was a great movie,” Roger Ebert said enthusiastically at the party we had organized afterward for prominent critics, cast members, business associates, friends, and…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
