“Listen,” Taylor turned to me with utmost sincerity. “Have you ever worked with or served any celebrity before?” I shook my head, not wanting to tell him about Amanda Bynes. The less your employer knows about your other jobs, the better it is. “Then get ready,” he warned me. “We have multiple reservations this afternoon for the VIP section, and we’re a little short on the staff, so you’ll have to take over the duty. I guess you are experienced enough now to handle the big clients.…- 19.3 K • Ongoing
“What is it?” Emily looked between Benji and me curiously. “What happened?” Benji opened his mouth to answer her, but I cut him off. “Nothing of importance. You will find out soon enough. For now, let's meet the cast quickly. I have to get my body spray-painted for today’s scene, which will take some extra time.” Emily pouted, though she didn't argue, and led me toward a lounge area on the other side of the set. The space felt relaxed, with the cast members lounging on couches and…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- “You’re lucky to even be considered for this role,” Paige said over the phone. “Of course,” I replied with exaggerated sadness. “Why would they consider this poor nobody?” “Don’t take it the wrong way,” Paige quickly explained. “I’m not doubting you. It’s just that the number of superstars they considered, and who turned it down, is too many to count.” “It says a lot about the quality of the film that so many superstars passed on it,” I joked. “True,” Paige…

- “Tell me again, why are we having this meeting?” I asked Benji as he led me toward the conference room in my own mansion, a place I rarely used. The house was expansive and beautiful, yet I preferred my meetings to be casual, often held in the sunroom or out on the patio. This time, though, my team had insisted the matter was serious enough to warrant the conference room. I was still in my polo T-shirt and denim shorts. After all, this was my house, and I didn’t need to dress to prove I could…

- “Hermione! Ron!” I hugged the two actors who stood in for Harry Potter’s best friends. “The gang’s all back together!” “Harry, honestly, don’t you have a job?” Hermione said irritably. “You need to stop coming to Hogwarts every day. Ron and I work here.” “I killed Voldemort!” I proclaimed dramatically. “That was ten years ago, mate,” Ron pointed out. I ignored the duo and turned toward the group of students behind me who were paying me some attention. “So, who…

- May 2009, New York City, USA “Ladies and gentlemen, Troy Armitage!” I walked out through the studio doors with a bright smile on my face. The in-house band sat to my left, just by the edge of the stage. Beyond them was the sea of faces that made up my audience for the night. The moment my name was announced, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause that echoed across the studio. I waved as I stepped to the center of the stage. “Thank you,” I said, though my voice was almost lost beneath…

- I didn’t know what I was expecting when I drove over to Michelle’s place, but it definitely wasn’t the small, one-bedroom house with an adjoining studio. It was located just outside New York City, not too far from my place. The house was neat but could’ve used an upgrade. The fact that a big-shot casting director like Vic Ramos recommended this place to actors made me realize one thing about the profession: acting fucking sucks. For most people, at least. Unlike other coveted careers, acting…

- A reporter offered a mic to Emily. “Emma Stone, congratulations on . It is one of the biggest movies of the year, grossing nearly $800 million.” “Thank you,” Emily nodded graciously. “If you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’d know about the story that broke out regarding Harvey Weinstein, which has started a new conversation about workplace harassment in showbiz. Did you ever have to face any kind of harassment during your time in Hollywood?” the reporter asked. Emily…

- Chloe took a sip from the teacup, which, honestly, wasn’t that bad. She hadn’t realized when she had gotten so used to the high-class housewife routine, but she had, and now she couldn’t go back to her normal life. This included occasional luncheons or high tea with her group of friends. “The tea is lovely, Marie,” Chloe said sincerely to the host. “Thank you, Chloe,” Marie smiled back. “Try some of my lemon tart as well. I baked it myself.” “Yes, yes, your cooking is amazing,…

- As soon as I heard the name of the film, I recognized it. I had seen the original version, and it was…terrible. There’s no other word for it. The plot revolved around two young teenagers stranded on an island, with little to no clothing, skinny-dipping, falling in love, making love, and eventually having a child. The man who wrote the story must have been a pedophile to conceive such a plot. The same could be said for anyone who wanted to make a movie about it. The acting by the two leads was…
