I still can’t believe that it happened. I felt as if I was in a daze. The lawyer that Dad sent over to us, Joel Sullivan, arrived at the same time as the police and the paramedics. The paramedics were mostly for Gia because she was the one who had passed out, but that didn’t mean I came out of the fight unscathed. Most of my face was bruised, and my head still hurt a little from when I hit it against the bathtub at the start of the fight. After establishing that I didn’t have a concussion, the…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- The shooting for the day was yet to begin, and since we were filming outdoors, I decided to check some of my financials in the meantime. The report from my business manager, Andrew Cohen, had been more than encouraging. Thanks to my active involvement in Crocs, their business was booming. The 2004 revenue had already reached $250 million, and it would almost certainly cross $500 million in 2005. I laughed inwardly, knowing that the company founders were probably regretting their lack of foresight in…

- Seeing the audience’s reactions during the premiere of any of my movies is always a treat. Of course, it helped that all my films were carefully chosen from my meta-knowledge, as they were already destined to be critical darlings. might have been an exception to that rule, but I knew it would succeed thanks to its chartbuster songs.“It was a great movie,” Roger Ebert said enthusiastically at the party we had organized afterward for prominent critics, cast members, business associates, friends, and…

- “Marvel?” Bobby asked in confusion. “I thought you were more of a DC guy.” He carefully looked over at Andrew, who was the only person present in the room who didn’t know about my upcoming role as the Joker. “I’m positive that Warner Bros won’t sell me one of their biggest IPs just like that,” I said dryly. “So I’ll go for the next best option. Marvel comics are great, and I enjoy them a lot.” Bobby nodded slowly. “Alright, Marvel and Netflix will be on our target. Anything…

- I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…

- Prologue It all started where it usually does in these types of stories. I died. I don't remember much about my past life. Or at least the parts about my family and friends have been blurred into oblivion. I know I had a loving family. Parents, definitely. Sibling(s), maybe. Friends and lovers, not so sure. I bet you're not interested in what my life used to be, but what it is now. To disappoint many among you, no, I did not wake up in a womb, about to be squished out and soon to be smacked on my…

- When the mic was set up, I turned to Oprah, “The song I’m playing is one that I wrote when I had a fight with my best friend. We haven’t talked in a while because I was busy shooting, so Evan, consider this an apology from me. This is the first time I’m playing it in front of anyone, so don’t be too harsh on me.”Oprah’s eyes widened slightly as I announced that. Like any good songwriter, I needed a backstory to write a song. Adults write songs about heartbreak, or their romantic relationships…

"I thought you were in Los Angeles!" she said to Troy.He shrugged casually. "I took a flight back. I couldn't miss your birthday, could I?" He stepped forward and placed a chaste kiss on her lips before…

- , initially released in just 150 theaters, experienced an unprecedented expansion to 3,150 theaters across North America. The practice of starting with a limited release and scaling up was uncommon for major distributors like Warner Bros. It was a strategy popularized in 1992 by Sony, which launched Sony Pictures Classics to separate its blockbusters from niche independent films. Their first release under the new banner became a massive success, even earning a Best Picture Oscar nomination. This ignited a…
