I walked into Casa Encantada and found a scene I hadn't expected at all. Evan and Dad were on their knees, giving piggyback rides to Ace and Ian, respectively. From what I could see, they were both wearing some kind of harness for the kids’ safety and trying to race each other. Meanwhile, the two toddlers were having the time of their lives, judging by their happy giggles. Mum and Scarlett were sitting on the couch, happily watching the moment. I felt a pang of guilt for having missed more moments…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- After that first win, the show fell into a rhythm of sorts. One by one, more TV and movie categories were awarded in quick succession, sprinkled with Ricky Gervais’ brand of humor in between. Most nominees were there just to drink and have a good time. Most people didn’t really seem to care about winning or losing. Then came the first category I was nominated for. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans walked up on stage together, holding two envelopes in their hands. “Hey, Chris,” Ryan greeted the…

- I walked into the living room of Casa Encantada after a long shower, which was badly needed after my hectic two-hour gym session involving weightlifting and Muay Thai. Working out has become my routine now, and I can’t imagine life without it. I used to maintain my shape in my past life as well, but back then it was mostly because of my profession. Who wants to see a pornstar who isn’t in good shape? Now, though, I do it as much for my health as for the aesthetics it adds to my looks. I walked…

“Do you think he’ll get it right this time?” Al Pacino just shrugged, for he had no answer to that question. “This is the toughest scene for his character, so it’ll take time before he fully gets there. We just need some patience, and I’m sure he’ll nail it in a few more takes.” Robert Zemeckis nodded in agreement and walked back behind the camera. As much as Al preferred working with a director like Bob, who was open-minded enough to accept suggestions, it was sometimes tiring to…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
- I looked at my childhood home, where I’d spent most of my life. I hadn’t realized until now how strange it would feel, knowing Dad had already sold the property to someone else, and was a tenant in his own home. “You don’t have to sell it,” I said to my father, who stood beside me. “I can loan you some money, and you can—” “And I can keep an old, run-down, ugly house for sentiments that no one cares about but you?” he asked rhetorically. “No, thanks. And I told you last time…

- “Ryan! What the hell are you doing there!? Your job is to hold that equipment over there! Don’t you dare ruin the shot now!” Ryan felt all the blood leave his face as soon as he heard the reprimand from the first AD. It was just his first month working at Phoenix Studios, and he had already messed up a few times. He was sure that with one more fuck-up on his hands, he’d be out on the streets. “Calm down, Terry,” the director of the film, Evan Spader, who was even younger than Ryan, said…

- “What the fuck is going on, Boris!?” Robert Mueller, the head of security at Phoenix and a former director of the FBI, shouted at his second-in-command. “What exactly are we dealing with?” The younger man wiped his brow worriedly. “I’m not exactly sure. What I do know is that someone somehow got into our internal servers. We don’t know the extent of the breach or what possible channels allowed it, but our best teams are working non-stop to make sure we catch the perpetrator.” Robert…

- NovaKnight: While I totally hate that someone violated Troy’s privacy, you can’t deny his kids are way too cute. I want a set of my own. SereneDreamer: I’m arguably Troy’s number one fan, but even I cringed when I heard him singing about Scarlett’s private parts. Some things should remain private. LunaBliss: I don’t know, I kinda liked that song. It was a little crass, but Troy has such a clean, godly image that he almost feels human now that he’s messed things up with the pussy song. I…

- Channing Tatum, or as he liked to be called, Chan, looked at the set he was visiting for a very important meeting, probably the most important of his career so far. He had always thought his acting career would be over as soon as news about his past got out, but somehow he had persevered, thanks to small indie films. As time passed, though, studios were giving him fewer and fewer blockbuster roles, mostly because they didn’t want to risk casting an ex-stripper in a film costing upward of $100…

- The ceremony began as usual, with a video recap of all the major movies released that year. I leaned closer to Scarlett and whispered, “Keep in mind the Academy unofficially asked me to host this year. Apparently, they wanted some young talent to boost the younger audience members.” “You shouldn’t have declined,” she whispered back. “It would’ve been so cool to see you up on stage.” “Any other year, I might’ve considered it, but not this one. Not when Harry Potter is so favored…
