Brett leaned back on the couch, staring at the TV with little interest. “Tell me again, why are we watching the Oscars? Can’t we do something better?” His girlfriend, Patty, whipped her head toward him with a scandalized expression. “How can you say that? Don’t you know who’s nominated tonight?” “Yeah, yeah. You and your crush on Troy Armitage, I know.” He waved a hand dismissively. “And after watching the movie, I agree he deserves every award he can get, but these things are…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
“Action!” “Emmeline!” an old, heavyset man shouted, his voice a mix of anger and panic, as he rushed toward a young girl standing near a berry bush. “Take them berries outta your mouth!” He grabbed her jaw firmly and pried it open with his thick fingers, forcing her to spit out the berries she had eaten in innocent ignorance. “Spit ‘em out! Come on!” From behind one of the fixed cameras, I was recording the scene, my focus locked on the old man’s face. A few feet away, Eddie…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
- September 2005, Los AngelesI got out of my Lamborghini and crossed over to hold the door open for the lady accompanying me tonight.Rihanna looked stunning in the short green dress she had chosen, but I could sense her hesitation. She wasn’t entirely comfortable being out tonight. Placing my hand gently on the small of her back, I noticed her flinch ever so slightly. The reaction was brief—she quickly composed herself and offered a small, practiced smile.“Hey,” I whispered, leaning in slightly.…

- I love the fact that I was reborn in a time when we had cell phones. I can’t even imagine living without it. Internet and technology hadn’t evolved enough to give birth to good smartphones with high speeds. My current phone, the Nokia 9210 Communicator, was good enough for texting and sending simple emails. I couldn’t wait for the iPhone to come and rock this market in 2007. So using the superior technology of Nokia (for that time), I was emailing my girlfriend long distance.Em: My mum suspects…

- “If you’ll all give me your attention.” Sean Cunningham raised a champagne glass high above his head. The room quieted almost instantly. Everyone turned towards him. Even I did the same, surprised to see how relaxed he looked. Sean was usually tight-shouldered and restless, always pacing or double-checking something, so seeing him loose and smiling felt strange. I guess what they say about the filmmaking business is true. It’s a tiring job that wears people down. “I couldn’t have made…

- “What the hell are you doing walking so slow?” Patty groaned, running ahead of her best friend, Claire. “Don’t you remember the last time we couldn’t get the tickets for ? Do you want to repeat that experience?”“Calm your horses, Pat,” Claire said leisurely. “This isn’t that big of a film. It’s very niche. I don’t think there’ll be a big crowd for it.”“I don’t care!” Patty retorted. “On the off-chance there is a crowd, I don’t wanna wait to see the film.”Claire…

- (Flashback)"There are two films in particular that I loved more than the others. The first one is called ," Benji announced. "It's a hard R-rated teen comedy, even worse than when it comes to vulgar jokes. Reading it, I felt like a schoolboy had written it—it's that accurate to what actually happens in American high schools. And the humor? Out of this world. I nearly died laughing just from reading it."I was speechless. I absolutely loved . I had to do it at all costs. Benji was right—the movie…

- @MusicGeek09: KANYE REALLY JUST DID THAT??? Bro, let the girl have her moment. Poor Taylor Swift. That was probably the most humiliating experience of her life. Troy Armitage’s speech was so good, and I totally agree with him. #GetHelpKanye. @countrygirl_amy: I’ve never seen anything so rude on live TV. Taylor deserved better. I adore her music, and it wasn’t even a big surprise that she won. Sure, Single Ladies was also good, but Beyoncé won the freaking Video of the Year award! @NovaKnight:…

- I flipped through a business magazine as I waited patiently for my flight. “Who would’ve thought that Mr. Troy Armitage would be waiting for his flight just like any other normal person?” I turned toward my assistant with a raised eyebrow. “You’re saying that as if it’s my fault my private jet failed a safety inspection at the last moment and had to be grounded because of it. Or that all the other charter planes in the area were already booked today.” “You could’ve waited for two…

- Taylor Swift was ecstatic to receive an invitation to the Grammys. Who would have thought that a 17-year-old would be invited to the biggest music award show after releasing just one album, let alone as the date of the most famous star of recent history?"Are you sure this is fine?" Taylor asked for the umpteenth time."I stopped caring about rumors and stuff years ago," Troy said flippantly. "Are you sure you can handle the scrutiny that will follow? People will make up wild stories about you for…
