September 2008, Leavesden Studios, London, U.K. “Stupefy!” I shouted, pointing my wand directly at Imelda Staunton, who played Umbridge. She froze mid-motion, her body going limp as the spell struck. The set lights cast a dramatic glow over her falling figure. In one swift motion, Emma darted forward and snatched the Horcrux locket from around her neck. A polyjuiced Ron, played by a different actor, fired stunning spells in every direction, covering us as the chaos of the Ministry set exploded…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
“Hollywood ignores all boundaries of propriety.” When I picked up this month’s edition of Rolling Stone, I wasn’t prepared for the shock that awaited me. The cover was startlingly bold, almost confrontational. It featured two teenage stars of the film , barely adults, posing with hardly any clothes on. The glossy paper and oversized headline only amplified the audacity of it. As I turned the pages and took in the full spread, my disbelief curdled into anger. I was appalled by how far Rolling…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
- Emily felt overdressed. Looking down at her beautiful floor-length royal blue dress, she couldn’t help but feel like an impostor. She couldn’t have afforded that dress even in her dreams. Her mom had talked to a designer friend to rent a dress for a few days, but even that was costing more than what Emily received for shooting . Then Troy came like a knight in shining armor and hooked her up with a designer who got her a new dress. Emily hadn’t even mentioned the dress issue to him, but Troy just…

- “Zoe!” A brunette girl dressed in Ravenclaw’s robe shouted from across the street. “Stop walking at a turtle’s pace, or we’ll miss the movie.”“Calm your horses, Krissy,” Zoe, who was wearing Hufflepuff, rolled her eyes. “We already have the tickets.”“And so do hundreds of others,” said the third and final girl in the group, Riley, who was donning Gryffindor. “All the good seats will be gone if we aren’t early.”Not wanting to hear her friends' complaints anymore, Zoe jogged…

- January 2010, Broadway Theater, Manhattan, NYC “You’re a fucking genius!” James Cameron said enthusiastically, pulling me into a tight hug inside my dressing room. “I died laughing just now. It was so good. I’m telling all my industry friends to come watch this as soon as possible.” “Thank you, Jim,” I said with a grin once he finally let me go. “But the credit mostly goes to the writers and the director. I’m just an actor in this show.” “And you played your part…

- “Thank you so much for the lift, Stephen,” I said gratefully to Chbosky, who drove Tobias and me back home when Roger was unreachable for quite some time.“Think nothing of it,” he smiled at me genially. “It is a bitch to get a cab in LA unless you’ve booked in advance. Take care, yeah?”“I will. Thanks again,” I got up from the window to let him pull away from the driveway.“Roger is very irresponsible,” Tobias complained loudly as we stood together at the spot. “Who does that? He’s…

- “Hermione! Wait!” I shouted while running behind Emma. “Hermione, will you please tell me what it is we are doing?” She stopped behind the corner of a wall and I saw six people standing together. The actors portraying Ron, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle were the real ones, while two body doubles were wearing clothes similar to Emma and me.“That’s us,” I whispered in realization. “This is not normal.”Suddenly, Emma grabbed me and pushed me against the wall in an attempt to make sure no one saw…

- June 2006, British Virgin IslandsI lounged on the vast, sandy shore stretching as far as the eye could see, wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses. The sun's rays tanned my body perfectly from head to toe.“For the love of God, can’t you at least wear some trunks?” a female voice said, irritation clear in her tone.I tilted my head slightly toward the speaker, the girl I had met only recently. Nadia Anton, Evan’s girlfriend, was undeniably beautiful, with a buxom figure and wavy blonde hair…

- November 2006, Los Angeles, CA, USAI stared at Rihanna in silence as she sat elegantly across from me. Her left leg was crossed over her right, her hands tightly gripping the arms of the sofa chair she occupied. Combined with her sleek ponytail, pink crop top, and denim shorts, she made for an incredibly alluring sight. The only thing I didn't like was the slight frown marring her face.I had wanted to go over to her place right after the shoot, but she had texted me, saying she needed some space for the…

- How the hell would he play Josh? He's too... cool. I need a lovable nerd for that role, not a guy who spends half his time at the gym. He could play Christian if he wanted to. Maybe even Elton, but Josh? Hell no. Ugh. Not again. I was already starting to hate the casting industry. Brad Pitt was undoubtedly one of the most handsome men of this era, yet I didn't see casting directors turning him down for roles. So why did my appearance irk them so much? I realized my mistake as soon as I looked down…
