I love motorbikes. I wasn’t rich, per se, but I had five of them in my little garage. My mom used to hate that I took one of my babies wherever I went instead of driving a car like normal people. Fuck normal people. They don’t know the joy of riding long distances in the fresh air, all the way out into the countryside, without a helmet, as the wind caresses your hair. Aah. I must have closed my eyes while riding because the next thing I knew, my baby had run over a boulder. The bike came to…- 165.3 K • Ongoing
- “You look a little worried,” I said to Adrienne while we waited for the crew to finish setting up the next scene. “You weren’t even this tense when we shot the sex scene.” I’d already wrapped my part of the sequence after my dramatic death, but Adrienne still had hours to go. She was naked and drenched in sticky red paint that clung to her skin like dried syrup. I figured a joke might lighten the mood. It was apparently the wrong choice. Adrienne shot me a glare. “Of course I’m…

- “Get up, Noah! I have things to do.” A pillow was hurled at my head, jolting me awake. I blinked blearily, trying to process what was happening, only to see my Daddy dearest. My second father if I consider my first life as well. (Or should that be third, considering that asshole Poseidon?) “Yeah, Dad,” I mumbled, forcing myself up from my too-cramped bed. Why did I have to ask to be tall? And why did Poseidon make me 6’2”? Why not a nice, even 6’? “Here’s what you’ll do…

I was overwhelmed. Never in a million years did I imagine receiving such an honor from someone like Michael Jackson. The allegations against him might have made people question his character, but no one could deny his talent, his influence, or the weight his words carried. Even if the name he gave me didn’t stick (which I hoped it wouldn’t), I would still cherish it forever because of Michael’s intentions, which I knew were genuine. One thing I had learned during all my time with him was that…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- I didn’t know what I expected when Mum handed me over her laptop, but when I started going through the summaries of the scripts that I had been offered, I realized one important thing about my career till now–I was beyond lucky.It was only luck that I was adopted by a Hollywood writer/director. Similarly, it was just my luck that my father had a friend who was producing , or that I would end up taking dance lessons from the choreographer assigned for . I wouldn’t put in the same category because I…

- “Alright, cut!” Randal called for the last time that day. “We’re done with today’s shooting. If everything goes well, tomorrow will be our last day here in Fiji.” The crew burst into applause at his announcement, and honestly, I couldn’t have been happier myself. I had had enough of this island and just wanted to go back to a life of normalcy. Beside me, Julie Anne Smith, better known by her SAG name Julianne Moore, clapped with everyone else, sand crunching under her feet. “I can’t…

- u/MildlyUnhinged (OP):BLIND ITEM: A very famous A-list actor, who recently proposed to his girlfriend, who’s another A-lister, did it because the girlfriend is pregnant. I work with the girl, and the entire crew saw her puking her guts out. The actor’s team came to our workplace not long after that and threatened all the crew members not to spread any rumors. So, of course, I had to make this post. u/throwaway_echo_21: Holy moly! Is that Troy and Scarlett??!!! Now it makes so much sense why he…

- Mum was driving me to the school when we saw that a few men were lurking around the front gate. That’s odd. Just then I caught sight of something black in one of the man’s hands and I could hazard a very good guess who they were. “Mum, reporters are here. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Drive around, the principal gave me permission to use the back entrance.” I ducked my head to avoid getting caught by the sight of any of the reporters. “I know about that. I didn’t think they’d be here…

- Robert Downey Jr. couldn’t believe his luck. Just two years ago, he had thought he would die a forgettable actor, remembered only as a junkie. But now, he was starring in the biggest blockbuster of the summer so far. “You did it, honey,” Susan, his wife, congratulated him with a hug when the figures finally came in. “We did it,” Robert corrected her. “I couldn’t have done it without you.” If he was clean today, it was all thanks to her, so it was obvious she had played a huge role…

- The flight back home turned out to be rather anticlimactic. I had expected something noteworthy to happen, some kind of dramatic farewell or surprise, but nothing did. Julie sat beside me in first class, and we spent most of the time talking when we weren’t dozing off. The rest of the senior crew members, Randal, Nestor, and a few others, were seated in business class. My two friends, along with everyone else who wasn’t considered essential to the production, were tucked away in economy. It was a…
