I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…- 297.0 K • Ongoing
“Troy! Troy! Troy!” The audience started chanting my name as if they’d come to a concert instead of an upscale party, which only increased my amusement. I chuckled before walking onto the stage and clearing my throat once. I grabbed the mic and looked at the audience, who were still chanting my name. It felt fucking awesome to have such influential people from the industry acting like little fangirls. “Thank you for that welcome,” I said, cutting through the chanting, which had refused to…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- And the Oscar for the Worst Actor goes to... The Oscar ceremony was held last night, with emerging as the big winner. It took home awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Timothy Hutton, who is the youngest male actor to win an Oscar in his category. But what’s interesting is that last night wasn’t just about the Oscars. It also marked the Golden Raspberry Awards, a newly minted award show dedicated to honoring the worst Hollywood has to…

- “Cut!” The cameras stopped rolling almost immediately, and we both let out sighs of relief. “Don’t tell me you want to cast me in ?” Emily asked as soon as the mics were removed from us. “Fuck no,” I stated bluntly. “I won’t cast any of my friends in that film unless they beg me to, because I know it’s gonna make a lot of money, but it’ll sexualize you for years to come.” “Since when did you start caring about sexualizing actors? And if it was such a concern, why…

- “That was a fan-fucking-tastic movie, Noah.” Frank hugged me tightly and patted my back with gusto, as if telling me he was proud of me without actually saying it. “The changes you made to the film to give it a Valentine's theme were really commendable.” I chuckled when he released me. “Actually, those changes were suggested by Universal. I liked them, and they weren't too much of a hassle, so I agreed to do some reshoots. Had I not agreed to go back to Harvard to continue my education, I…

- “Yes!” I shouted as I hugged Evan tightly. “Much more deserved than my award!” “Thanks, Troy,” Evan whispered back in my ear before separating and embracing Jonathan next. Seeing those two together after all these years was still a surprise even to me. From what I knew, they were mostly in an open relationship, and such relationships rarely lasted this long, whether for straight couples or gays. After exchanging hugs with most of the cast, Evan finally walked onto the stage and…

- “Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you, Caleb.” He is the perfect actor for this film. Had I not already committed to Leo, I might have even cast Caleb in the lead role. The only problem is that he's way too good. Seeing them together, I can easily imagine him overshadowing Leo, especially in the looks department. Leo doesn't realize it now because he's not looking at it objectively. But the moment he sees both of them together in a replay, I know he'll throw a fit. It's better to go with a…

- “I have news, son.” “Please tell me you’re not dying,” I almost pleaded. He snorted in amusement before shaking his head. “I’m not dying. God will personally have to come down to Earth to take me before my time. Don’t you worry about that.” I sagged slightly in relief. “Then what’s the news?” “I’m getting married.” I stared at him in disbelief for two minutes, having no idea what to say. Dad seemed to like the silence, because he indulged himself in the beer…

- My security followed us from all sides. The number of people packed into this small area was astounding. Wherever I looked, people were gawking at me. And the strange part was that none of them recognized me. They were watching me simply because, to them, anyone with skin as white as mine was something to gawk at. Sure, I’d never lived a life of extreme luxury in my first life, but this was the first time I’d seen such a stark class divide. The divide wasn’t just evident in the poorly maintained…

- “Dada home! Dada home!” Ace and Ian started chanting it like some kind of prayer the moment I was back at Casa Encantada. “How’re my little munchkins this fine day?” I asked rhetorically while holding the duo close to my chest. “They’re fine,” Helen, my little sister, said haughtily from her study table, glancing over at the kids. “They have their best aunt to take care of them.” I laughed at her antics. “Don’t let Vanessa hear that, or she’ll start a fight with…
