Chapter 205 CNN Entertainment: “TROY ARMITAGE SWEEPS THE GRAMMYS IN UNPRECEDENTED FASHION” “History was made at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards last night, as 18-year-old Troy Armitage not only took home 12 trophies—including Album, Record, and Song of the Year—but also became the youngest artist to complete an EGOT. The British actor-turned-singer-songwriter stunned the world with a jaw-dropping medley performance and an unexpected onstage reunion with Rihanna that sent the internet into a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “Holy shit! That was great, baby,” I said with a grin before pulling Anna on top of me and planting a fierce kiss on her lips. As my hands slid down her back, she broke the kiss. “Stop right there. I’m not doing it again.” “What?” I asked innocently, pulling her hips closer. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I’m so sore from last night, I don't know how I'll walk anywhere. Not to mention, I’ve got a flight back to LA in a few hours. I need to get ready.” “You…

- “Do you agree to these conditions as laid out by this contract and the remuneration of $250,000?” A judge asked me with an almost incredulous expression on his face. Asshole. He didn’t have to state my compensation for the Sixth Sense out loud. He was probably jealous that I, a 9-year-old, was earning from this movie more than what he probably earned for an entire year. Steve and Kathy took quite some time negotiating my remuneration with the producers. At first, they were offering me only…

- I lounged on a beach chair under the golden sun, sipping chilled coconut water. The clear blue ocean had slow, methodical waves going through it while a soft breeze rustled the palm trees behind us. Beside me lay a girl just as breathtaking as the view, wearing nothing but sunglasses that matched my own state of undress. “I could get used to this,” she murmured, her voice languid and content. “You can come here whenever you want,” I said, stretching my arms behind my head. “I own this…

- Standing at the entrance of the fighting gym, I felt like a tiny ant next to the heavy steel doors. The sounds of fists striking pads and rhythmic shouts of fighters seeped through the walls, making me a little nervous. The receptionist had made it very clear that parents were not allowed inside the gym proper because many parents get a little squeamish seeing their kids fight or hit or something similar, so here I was all alone. It was a little daunting task when I have had Steve and Kathy’s support…

- 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…

- Barry took another copy of the page, “I’ll read it with you.” “Yes, Cole?” He asked me, indicating that he had begun the audition. “They used to hang people here.” I kept my voice low as if a little hesitant to answer the question. “That’s not correct. Where’d you hear that?” "They'd pull the people in crying and kissing their families bye... People watching would spit at them." I answered in a somber tone. "Cole, this was a legal courthouse. Laws were passed here. Some…

- It was in the evening that I got some very good news. News, that immediately made me forget about the troubles of the school day, be it my best friend, my classmates, or the media problem. All paled in comparison to what Steve told me. “Is it true? You aren’t joking, right?” I asked again excitedly. Steve chuckled at my enthusiasm, “You remember my friend Barry Mendel? We met at Sundance in January?” I nodded enthusiastically, “Yes. He was the one who is around your age but has those…

- I woke up Monday morning with a huge yawn and stretched my body lazily getting out all the kinks. That weekend was a crazy one. After spending Saturday at Universal Studios with Evan's family, my parents came home on Sunday and decided to have a dinner outing. They invited the Spaders as well, as a thank you for taking care of me during the weekend. Together we went out to this amazing Indian restaurant. The music and the ambiance were great and they played a very upbeat tune in Hindi and encouraged the…

- “Maintain your note for ten seconds, then give a pause for five then continue with next. Start with C, then C-sharp, D, D-sharp, and so on till you reach F-sharp.” Mr. Tanner instructed. I cleared my throat for good measure and began my practice. Practicing vocals with a coach was so much different from working alone. My previous coach didn’t have much experience with singing herself. She covered the basics of notes and voice pitch well enough but after that, even I with my limited experience…
