I still can’t believe that it happened. I felt as if I was in a daze. The lawyer that Dad sent over to us, Joel Sullivan, arrived at the same time as the police and the paramedics. The paramedics were mostly for Gia because she was the one who had passed out, but that didn’t mean I came out of the fight unscathed. Most of my face was bruised, and my head still hurt a little from when I hit it against the bathtub at the start of the fight. After establishing that I didn’t have a concussion, the…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- I picked up the glass of coconut water from the non-alcoholic section and took a sip, my eyes scanning the room, hoping to spot Leo somewhere in the crowd—but no luck.“Are you sure you weren’t imagining things?” Evan asked skeptically. “Because let’s face it, people like DiCaprio probably treat people our age like kids. And why would someone intentionally invite kids to their party?”I gave Evan a bored look. “Have you perhaps forgotten who I am? It might be mundane for you to talk to me,…

- “I hate this job,” Olivia groaned, slumping against the counter as she spoke to her colleague. “Who even buys flowers this late at night?” “Surprisingly, many people do,” Christine replied with a straight face, casually rearranging a bouquet of white lilies. “This is only your first week, and it’s been relatively slow, but you’d be surprised how many men suddenly remember their anniversary or their partner’s birthday at night. Some just want to surprise their girlfriends or wives.…

- The reporters and cameramen erupted the moment I stepped out of the car. They usually got excited, but tonight felt different—charged, almost electric. I wasn’t sure if it was the shirtless Givenchy suit, or the fact that this was my first public appearance in the United States since the release of . Whatever the reason, the energy was surreal. “TROY!”“I LOVE YOU!”“MARRY ME!” A small cluster of fans was gathered in a cordoned-off section behind a wall of security. Their chants rang…

- As Benji left the room to bring in my Royal fans, I finally began to consider the situation seriously. I didn’t know what exactly I expected from them, but one thing was clear: their coming here was a big deal. Everyone was aware of my indirect accusations against the Royal pedophile. It had become the biggest scandal involving the Royal family in recent decades, arguably even bigger than the divorce of Charles and Diana. There had been public outcry across Britain demanding the arrest of Prince…

- “Take a deep breath, calm yourself, and step out with a smile,” Dad suggested as our car was standing right before the red carpet. I followed his advice and took a few deep breaths to calm down my thumping heart somewhat (it didn’t work) and stepped out of the car to innumerable flashes surrounding me.I was gobsmacked for a moment but my father's advice quickly came to mind and I was quick to fix a smile permanently for the duration of the red carpet at the very least. Soon I was joined by my Mum and…

- Finally, it was December 16.The day of the table read for . Luckily for us, it was here in LA and not in Philly or it would be very uncomfortable for us to move to Philly for a couple of days, only to come back for holidays, and then go back for shooting again.“Ready, champ?” Steve asked from the driver’s seat where he had just parked the car in the Disney parking lot.“Yeah,” I answered in my now almost real American accent, “Just a little nervous I guess. Haven’t met anyone famous…

- “Alice, will you give me a break? I need some alone time with my thoughts,” Scarlett grouched, her voice edged with irritation as she shifted uncomfortably on the couch. Alice just chuckled and shook her head. “Troy has told me in no uncertain terms that I can’t leave you alone unless he tells me himself. It’s for your own safety, Scarlett. I can be quiet as a mouse, and you won’t even notice my presence.” Sometimes, Scarlett found it difficult to decide whether she loved Troy or hated…

- Dame Judi Dench, last year’s winner of Best Supporting Actress, walked to the stage, carrying the blasted envelope that would probably give away the award to Tom Cruise or perhaps Michael Caine.“This year’s nominees for Best Supporting Actor cover a wide range, from a relative newcomer to a huge star. From a small boy to a man who’s downright huge. Here are the nominees: Michael Caine in ; Tom Cruise in ; Michael Clark Duncan in ; Jude Law in ; and Troy Armitage in .”I clapped politely as all the…

- I ended up spending more than three hours at Carla’s new place. She was brutally honest about her past and didn’t mince any words around topics that adults usually censor in the presence of children, which I appreciated a lot. Some part of me was angry at her for destroying the picture-perfect image I had of my bio-dad in my head, but seeing her face when she narrated the story, I could tell that she was telling the truth. I had never even considered why she was the way she was. I guess it was…
