- “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 really love the work you’re doing for a cause you’re clearly very passionate about,” Larry King said after we talked about my charity for a good five minutes. “Let’s talk about other ventures that you’re involved in. I love the work you’ve done with Crocs, which has become an international brand today. Most people would agree that it was those provocative ads of yours that made Crocs a household name.

- Scarlett nervously looked over at the TV screen that was playing some old black-and-white movie she didn’t recognize. “,” Evan said as a way of explanation. “I like seeing old classic movies to incorporate them in stuff that I shoot. You can learn a lot from the classics.” Scarlett hummed noncommittally before glancing toward the other end of the room, where Troy’s mother, Kathy, was pacing incessantly. “Should we…” Scarlett hesitated. “Talk to her about it?” Evan shook his head.…

That FBI?”The man was nice enough not to give me a sarcastic reply to the obvious.“Yes,” he nodded. “I am Special Agent Tom Walker. We have a search warrant here for this place. A federal judge has authorized it. You are not under arrest at this moment, but you are required to comply with this search. If you resist the search or prevent us from carrying out our duties in some manner, you can and will be arrested.”I…

- 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…

- “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…

- 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.

- “What do you think has impacted the music industry the most in the last decade?”Arlen Brock already had hundreds of points he could raise as soon as he heard the question. He was a seasoned music critic, after all—one of the greatest, in fact. But since his audience wasn’t as knowledgeable as he was, he decided to dumb it down a bit and keep it generic.“Undoubtedly, sound mixing software that anyone can use,” he answered honestly before elaborating. “A decade or two ago, it was almost…
