We can postpone this part of the shoot for a few months if you’re unwell.”“Nah, I’m as good as I can be,” I said assuredly in my Joker voice. “And remember, I am Frank, not Troy.”Chris sighed. “Back to being your character, huh?

- “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…

- “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.
