“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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
- After a successful meeting with the director of Friday the 13th, I drove to my second appointment of the day. This one carried far more weight because it was with Douglas Day-Stewart and Paul Brickman, the duo rewriting my version of Risky Business. They had just returned from Los Angeles after finalizing the revisions that Columbia Pictures wanted before approving the film. Technically, my contract gave me the right to object to any changes made to the script. Realistically, though, filmmaking was…

- And the Oscar for the Worst Actor goes to... The Oscar ceremony was held last night, with emerging as the big winner. It took home awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Timothy Hutton, who is the youngest male actor to win an Oscar in his category. But what’s interesting is that last night wasn’t just about the Oscars. It also marked the Golden Raspberry Awards, a newly minted award show dedicated to honoring the worst Hollywood has to…

- Channing Tatum, or as he liked to be called, Chan, looked at the set he was visiting for a very important meeting, probably the most important of his career so far. He had always thought his acting career would be over as soon as news about his past got out, but somehow he had persevered, thanks to small indie films. As time passed, though, studios were giving him fewer and fewer blockbuster roles, mostly because they didn’t want to risk casting an ex-stripper in a film costing upward of $100…

- Rose McGowan sat at the edge of the couch, fingers worrying the hem of her sleeve. The mansion smelled amazing, a faint mix of honey, rose, and jasmine. Yet, she wasn’t comforted by it at all. She had been in this position too many times to pretend she did not know what might follow. From an early age she had been aware of her good looks. Wherever she went, someone always mentioned them. So when an agent promised a big break in Hollywood before she turned eighteen, she had said yes without thinking.…

- “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. “I can’t wait to get back to New…

- Hermione broke down into sobs, and the way Harry pulled her into a hug made the moment even more heartbreaking for the audience. Rod really appreciated how much the acting across the trio had improved over the years. Ron completely stole the scene with the raw intensity of his outburst, while Hermione’s breakdown felt painfully real, the kind of emotion that didn’t seem acted at all. Harry and Hermione waited for Ron for an entire day, hoping he’d return. When he didn’t, they finally packed…

- “Cut!” The cameras stopped rolling almost immediately, and we both let out sighs of relief. “Don’t tell me you want to cast me in ?” Emily asked as soon as the mics were removed from us. “Fuck no,” I stated bluntly. “I won’t cast any of my friends in that film unless they beg me to, because I know it’s gonna make a lot of money, but it’ll sexualize you for years to come.” “Since when did you start caring about sexualizing actors? And if it was such a concern, why…

- “Please welcome the biggest superstar on the planet. One of the best singers working in the industry right now, and the recipient of multiple Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys. Troy Armitage, everyone!” The studio exploded the moment my name was announced. I walked out from behind the curtain, lights flooding the stage as the band struck up its familiar tune. I waved enthusiastically at the crowd, their cheers crashing over me in a wall of sound. The standing ovation was honestly a little too…
