The production of the third and fourth Potter films was finally underway with Alfonso Cuaron helming the joint project. I couldn’t be happier with the turn of events because Cuaron was one of my favorite directors of all time. Each and every one of his movies is created with a passion that is rarely seen in filmmakers today, where more focus is placed on the commercial performance than the art. From what I could recall, my favorite film of his was . The dystopian world he created was a marvel of modern…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Why?” I asked Rihanna as soon as she walked into my hotel suite. “Why did you have to make it so difficult to hate you? Why couldn’t you have waited a month or two before apologizing?”Rihanna raised an eyebrow. “And what would happen in a month?”I pursed my lips, debating whether to tell her. Finally, I decided to bite the bullet. “My album will be out by then.” I paced around the room, agitated for no apparent reason.Always quick to see beneath the surface, Rihanna caught on…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I really love the work you’re doing for a cause you’re clearly very passionate about,” Larry King said after we talked about my charity for a good five minutes. “Let’s talk about other ventures that you’re involved in. I love the work you’ve done with Crocs, which has become an international brand today. Most people would agree that it was those provocative ads of yours that made Crocs a household name.

I raised an eyebrow before picking it up. The phone felt a little heavier than my iPhone, with a plain, unassuming black casing. It looked like a basic Android device, the kind you…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

After my failed attempt at getting Spielberg to change the climax of the film, days went on normally. Or as normally as they could go on a film set. Steven had taken it upon himself to praise me to heaven and back whenever I would do a good scene. One thing I noticed was that all that praise was solely focused on me alone. He never went out of his way to praise the adults as much as me, even if they had given master performances, which led me to believe that I received praise only because of my age.It was…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
