Reed Hastings looked over at the young billionaire in front of him. The guy appeared quite normal, aside from the fact that most people on the planet knew who he was. Troy Armitage was considered the biggest superstar of the current generation, and the richest as well. So for him to be interested in their company was a little unprecedented. “What’s the matter, Reed?” Troy broke his silence. “I think we can all agree that the valuation of $2.5 billion that I’m offering is quite generous for…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- ~My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like Baby, baby, baby, oh Like baby, baby, baby, no Like baby, baby, baby, oh Thought you'd always be mine, mine~ I watched Zoe Kravitz sing with slightly judgmental eyes and raised eyebrows. "Really?" I asked. "You have to sing that one out of all the songs in the world?" Justin Bieber had made his debut with "Baby" only recently, and the song had exploded worldwide. It was one of the biggest debuts any young pop star had…

- February 2008, Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Why did we leave the red carpet early?” Scarlett asked in a low whisper as we were guided to our seats. The auditorium was already half full, buzzing with murmured conversations and the low hum of anticipation. Most of the non-red carpet guests had already arrived. My family had stayed behind this time for security reasons. “It’s just security being security,” I replied, keeping my tone casual. “They initially told me not to stop for…

- May 2009, New York City, USA “Ladies and gentlemen, Troy Armitage!” I walked out through the studio doors with a bright smile on my face. The in-house band sat to my left, just by the edge of the stage. Beyond them was the sea of faces that made up my audience for the night. The moment my name was announced, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause that echoed across the studio. I waved as I stepped to the center of the stage. “Thank you,” I said, though my voice was almost lost beneath…

- “I don’t understand why they even have an intermission during a Broadway show,” Austin muttered impatiently, tapping his foot against the floor as they stood in line at the snack counter. The lobby was filled with chatter of other theater-goers, though unlike the movies, the crowd seemed a little more sophisticated. “If there were no intermission, we wouldn’t be here waiting for snacks. The show’s barely two hours long. Most movies are longer than that. They could easily finish it in one go if…

“Hollywood ignores all boundaries of propriety.” When I picked up this month’s edition of Rolling Stone, I wasn’t prepared for the shock that awaited me. The cover was startlingly bold, almost confrontational. It featured two teenage stars of the film , barely adults, posing with hardly any clothes on. The glossy paper and oversized headline only amplified the audacity of it. As I turned the pages and took in the full spread, my disbelief curdled into anger. I was appalled by how far Rolling…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

Is the set decoration complete?” Stephen continued in the same sharp tone.“Almost—give me five,” came the swift reply.“Better make it two,” he shot back before turning to the next person.Sometimes, Stephen couldn’t help but feel like he was surrounded by fools. How difficult was it…

- “You look tired,” said Michael Thorpe, my lawyer, his brows knitting as he studied me across the table. The conference room was quiet except for the soft hum of the air conditioner. “Everything alright?” “Yeah,” I replied, brushing off his concern with a wave of my hand. “Didn’t get much sleep last night. Nothing worth worrying about. Just tell me how the contract signing went so I can be on my way.” Michael chuckled under his breath and clapped a reassuring hand on my shoulder.…

- “Listen,” Taylor turned to me with utmost sincerity. “Have you ever worked with or served any celebrity before?” I shook my head, not wanting to tell him about Amanda Bynes. The less your employer knows about your other jobs, the better it is. “Then get ready,” he warned me. “We have multiple reservations this afternoon for the VIP section, and we’re a little short on the staff, so you’ll have to take over the duty. I guess you are experienced enough now to handle the big clients.…
