Sean, Ronald, Angel, Yasmine and the whole crew is back. They have new problems with the paparazzi, in group fighting, and Jinx, USA's most popular singer, is doing more than hitting a high note with someone's wife. The managers have more to hide for themselves than their clients, but as the nosy invasive reality tv show producer requires more from the cast America may find all the skeletons hiding in their closet.

(01:49):
office building afternoon, mid afternoon sunshines down on old time golden Hollywood structure.
Interior office building, afternoon. Iwould Stafford picks away at the keys.
The phone is ringing. Angel midforties, tall, thick African American
woman with a stern demeanor answers thephone while looking over her shoulder. What
(02:13):
could you possibly want at this time? We made the papers? What should
we do? And you think I'mthe best person to fix us? Who
else would I call? Don't callme for this stuff? Call your agent.
She is a better fixer than yourpublic sister or me. Right now,
refocus your energy on the task athand, being a star and getting
(02:34):
your money. Yeah, but yousaid, I know what I said.
I will live up to my promise, just not now. In the background,
Jinks, tall, very attractive manwith floppy brown hair and blue green
eyes approaches Angel's office door. Yogot a second. Angel waves him into
the office and he sits across thedesk from her, I really need you
(02:58):
right now. I'm just asking forfive minutes. You get my assistance.
Begin flashback a few years ago.Exterior outdoor cafe, late afternoon, Jasmin,
Jenny, Kelly, Angel, HenryGrace, Anna and the camera crew
stand around the patio of an outdoorcafe. The tables are stacked against the
(03:21):
wall to make room for recording.Shrubbery hide part of the Alfresco dining area.
The group huddles around the phone.In the background, Anna speaks quickly,
yelling instructions into the phone. Pushto night's interview. We will not
push anything. We adhere to theschedule. I'm not going I have to
(03:43):
be ready for the red carpet.We will all get in the car and
go across town for the interview.Under the guise of a patron, a
blogger walks onto the Alfresco dining areatowards the gathering. No one takes note.
Excuse me, are you Yasmin?Ronald Caucasian man, thick black hair,
(04:06):
firm dad body and green eyes stepsbetween them. Who's asking? True?
Stars True? The cameraman picks uphis camera and begins recording. She
isn't here, I see her rightthere. Angel steps in front of the
blogger, shielding Yasmin with her body. Ronald stands at Angel's side. Grace
(04:30):
hers Yasmin to a break in theshrubbery and pushes her through. Jenny follows
behind her. Need to have youreyes checked. Blogger turns to leave.
That's how this group is now.I would forget, I wouldn't forget.
No one could get fits. Y'allthese people are like me made you don't
(04:53):
forget what you came from. Ido recall, and there weren't any people
like you around. Kelly steps forwardin a confrontational manner. Do you know
what we do to your kind?Where I'm from? Bloggers shrinks back.
No, but I can guess.Blogger scourage to the sidewalk in snaps three
(05:15):
pictures of the group. No,we're going to pay for that remark later,
Kelly later is exactly that, notthe present, and I hangs up
the phone. You'll take care ofthat backlash on your own, since you
don't want to listen to the professionalswho handle these problems for you. Funny
how you claim to be a professionalonly after a situation is blown up in
(05:39):
her face? Larious how you tendto just not show up. How joke
is getting old? Besides, I'mhere now. Angel's phone rings. Yeah,
caraman, three crocks in for atight shot. We're in the car
heading toward a drug store. WhereWhy when are you coming back? Who
(06:00):
is on the phone? Angel wavesher away and it doesn't move. Tell
me later. There's too much tofix right now. Grace hangs up.
Do you here? I think wecould start planning. Read I manage the
ladies. You produce a show.I won't tell you how to do your
job. You leave my assistant inme to fix this without any input.
(06:24):
Why don't we all sit down,order some champagne, take a grip,
then we can talk this all aboutthe group collectively size. They search for
chairs around them and push three tablestogether, and I walked back to join
the crew. As they prepare tostart shooting again, Ronald follows her.
You were seeing I have approval topay for the clothes, hair and make
(06:46):
it for the event. In return, we start shooting from now to you
step out of the car. Thenetwork scrambled to find another team to shoot
wrangled talent simultaneously and a hand out. Mike packs and then begins shooting again,
Angel, Kelly, Henry and Seansaid, and it holds up her
hand and counts down. We'll goin five, four, three two.
(07:13):
Okay, we have an hour beforethe interview tonight. Since Yasmin refuses to
prioritize the premiere over the interview,her mama taught her to let her yes
mean yes. She doesn't back outof a commitment because a better one comes
along. Missus Henry taught Jenny andYasmin well, but we need to cancel
their interview. Jasmin is walking thered carpet with an A list actor.
(07:34):
This could be the beginning of herreal career. The pastor says, we
don't cancel. I say, weagree. He has influence where it counts
everyone. We need to have thisevening run like clockwork, of course,
not your type of clockwork. Brokenclock at an hour behind. The waiter
(07:55):
approaches the table timidly. Are youoff Fame? Move stage left. You're
taking up the most of the shot. I can't see their faces. Waiter
shuffles out of the shot. Mis it better? And it gives the
thumbs up eights, Ronald, youhave the contacts. Get us paired up.
(08:20):
Sean is this a bad time totake your word. Yes, what
Angel means is she's preoccupied. We'llhave two bottles of champagne. Keep it
coming. Henry hams a waiter aCrisp hundred dollars bill. The missus used
to say, there is nothing likenew money to make you feel better.
(08:41):
The waiter nods, thank you,sir. Get your drinks. Waiter leaves.
As you said before, we don'twant this to come back home us.
We are stretched in too many directionsto allow the way to add a
rule. Celebrity report to this messare correct? Now? Where was I?
(09:01):
Sean? Check and see when Suakand dressed? The ladies still in
the air. I'll contact Suah.Let me see lands they slyly exchange glances.
Oh, I want Sean talking toSua. We don't have time for
family drama. You can't give mejob assignments. I'm Grace's assistant. Ronald
(09:22):
is yours? You want me tocall Grace? Yep. I'm not doing
twice the work for half the pay. Angel checks Grace. If you do
this for Angels, she'll owe youone. You could catch him later.
Angel's phone buzzes. She picks upthe device Grace says to contact SWA.
(09:45):
Ronald patches back, Yes, shehad work to do after she lands.
Yeah, yeah, man, youowe me one do Wait if Grace said
you must do it, it's nota favor anymore. That doesn't make any
sense. I still have to dothe work. That's how it works,
Son, you miss drop a tune? Angel cell vibrates, She flips it
(10:07):
over and puts the call on speakerphone. Martha, go who you have
on your own tonight? Besides whereyou land on the Hollywood hierarchy we're working
on. When we're taking I'll headto you now. Oh, we're shooting
today. You'd have to be oncamera just this once. I'm making an
(10:30):
exception, ma'am. Your champagne.If the place in the flutes in front
of each one of them, hepops the top. Yeah. The waiter
fills the flutes, then leaves.Where are you? We're sitting outside the
caffee on Maholland Drive. We've beenblessed with a golden opportunity. We can't
(10:54):
mess us up. I'm getting inthe car now. Don't do anything until
I get there. Ya one onone Freeway. Moments later, a black
Lincoln Town car edge along and bumperto bumper traffic Interior town car continuous Jenny
Grayson Yasma is sitting the back ofthe town car as it creep by.
(11:15):
Yasma watches the buildings through the tintedwindows. Sean is talking to Squat about
dressing you ladies. She has toget herself ready for the mayor too.
What if we just paid her andnot you? Oh, you're giving her
baby vacation. Why what has shedone for you lately? She dressed us
(11:35):
this morning and then arranged for herown transportation to follow us across the country
with a children. You're too nice, Daddy says, you attract more bees
with honey than vinegar bees sting,even if you have honey and you know
it flies right. Speaking of gettingstung, did anyone tell Ronald that his
(11:58):
wife isn't how Sean is probably fillinghim in esis. We should wait to
tell Ronald. He may not takeit well. We need him to be
at his best for the premiere tonight. We don't have time for a piste
off. Ronald with his sophomor fits. The car pulls into the parking lot
and comes to WALLT. I'll remindAngel how important it is to keep her
(12:22):
assistant on a short leaseh Sean neverhas the outburst that that pompous literary major
deaths. Sean doesn't have the responsibilitiesRonald has. Therefore we can't expect less
trouble from him. Exterior drug store. Evening the car parks in the middle
of the lot. The group exitsthe car and ambles toward the drug store.
(12:46):
Keeping appropriate control over a subordinate ismore important. John does all your
work. He's not here now,is it? I mean you're working?
Of course? Is you're wonderful tous? That's the b thing? Something
like that interry a drug store.Moments later, the group shuffles down the
(13:09):
makeupile of a generic one down drugstore. A fluorescent light flickers overhead.
Jasmin examines a mascara. Have youthought about patronizing another store? What if
someone takes a picture of you?It'll be better than the time you caught
me buying core pounds of candy.Not the worst thing a client would be
(13:31):
caught buying. Jenny picks up eyeshadow, highlights, lipstick, and shades of
eye pencil. What's the worst Youwouldn't want us selling your secrets? What
secrets. Jasmin eyes a power panelhanging from a pig and plucks a candy
bar from the display. Not beforea premiere. I'm not going to instantly
(13:54):
gain the weight. Yes, yoursister thinks of every thing. Just one
bite, no, and don't eatanything you're allergic to. We don't want
our secret to be rolling around onthe red carpet. I'm not going to
have a seizure. Will you relax? Did you did you plan what one
(14:15):
this morning? Get your points?No junk food today. There's three of
them. Step towards the cash register. How are you holding up? This
isn't too much depression. Scanny beepsare heard in the distance. For it
stressed? May I said jest ofa supplements? Yes you may, no
(14:41):
thanks, we don't know what's inthe supplements. Can't take a chance like
it, sister said Jenny. Collectsare changed from the cashier and they head
out of the store. Don't wantto mess up our meal ticket. Do
we know where everyone is so wecan attempt to be on time for this
interview. Since our fearless leader can'tprioritize, we have to complete what we
(15:05):
started. We are known for beingreliant. Grace fishes through the bag and
pulls out a headshot of the cashiersmiling face. She waves the photo.
You got another one. The ladiescrawling to the car. The driver shuts
the door. I want to seethis one, Grace, hands are the
(15:28):
picture. Jenny analyzes the face,joining the photo paper. I think we
can help this one. Grace snatchesthe picture back. You can't help them
all. You need to be concernedabout yourself again, your job or Shawn's
The phone trills, Grace answers.She is so cuteful and so am I.
(15:58):
Grace mumbles of the distance. Theladies wait until she finishes the call.
Our other house will meet up withus at the interview. What are
we wearing? Do you have timesat the most? Grace checks her watch.
Nope, yes, been at Jenny. Gather around a tablet. We
(16:22):
can do a drive up at abig box store. It better not be
the one where you can wear yourshower curtain and some slippers as clothes.
I'm no style it up like that. It depends on if you're still mad
at Kelly. That's going up lateand miss mer CHINGO your good name.
(16:44):
Hear her a long movie where hertatars can't shows dang, I guess there's
still latent hostility left. I'm nothostile toward her, just in a playful,
frank move. Yeah. Sure.It's a mansion living room evening,
(17:06):
and the jess's view of the cityis see to the background through a humongous
picture window. Donning a super tightdress, Swas stands in a large living
room with a few modern pieces scatteredabout. Three children. What about the
open floor plan causing habit? Sitdown? A stylist, ultra thin,
(17:27):
very fashioned, forward twenty year oldyoung man, cled and tight jeans stands
in front of SWA. Really,you stop fidgeting like you can't see the
kids tearing up his house. He'llrename my invitation to the movie if they
keep this up. I should havegone with the Bad Boys star. I
can't work like this. SWA looksat itself in the mirror. Great,
(17:49):
because this dress isn't working for me. It's the fifth dress you've tried on.
Do none of them work? Maybeit's the three kids post body that
isn't working. SWA peels out ofthe dress. Look at me, I'm
perfect. There isn't an ounce offat on me. You are gorgeous.
(18:10):
I was joking. I guess youaren't in your normal jovial mood. This
is a premiere and I'm going withthe top singer in the country, and
you're sure you want to bring thekids. Isn't your husband going to hit
the roof? He'sht in Yasmin.He has no right to be mad.
Oh my goodness, you saw itright. Wow, they got him coming
(18:30):
out of the hotel room. Spascrollsthrough a phone and shows him a picture
that was so staged. No hotelsecurity would that that many paths slide past
them, especially since Guinevere is stayingthere. I let's gets another dress off
the rack. How do you know? Style as handsis a blue dress,
(18:53):
beaded, film fitting and extremely short. I know an enterprising little bird there.
Snyla slides the dress ver Squa's nudeform. She dishes on everyone,
but she wouldn't tell me a peepabout Yasmin in the group. Yasmin tips
well in that hotel they are likefamily to her. He only please.
(19:15):
She spends money a home away fromhome, which makes this worse. That
cheating skink screwed him in their workhome and got caught. Young Cruner Jinks
comes down the stairs into the openair designed kitchen, living room, den
area stairs at SUA's type. Bombstill looks posed as she shimmis the dress
over her dairy air young and thatTosh looks better than the dress. You
(19:40):
should go without the dress, tacky, classless. I wouldn't be able to
get a new boy toy if Idid that. Jinks tries to kiss her.
She pushes him away. The kids. You ain't bothered, you bucket.
Don't swear in front of the kids. Mama, Why can't grown ups
(20:03):
make promises? I don't have timefor questions. You see Mama's trying to
get dressed. Keep playing, butI want lunch. You keep playing and
I'll take you to Spagos. Iwant it happy. You won't be happy

men as upstairs to be polite.I got you the best ticket in town.
You know, people's gonna be takingour pick yo, people's though,
I'm gonna look like a like afamily man with all these kids. Any

minutes on video games, then I'llbe up James slaves oh yo yo,
just saying so stop it a hammerdon't need to be smart. It just
needs a head that can make animplant his profile with mine, and I'm
guaranteed more airtime on wrangling talent.Besides, imagine Ronald's face when he sees
(21:34):
my picture in People, the stylishchuncles and give Swath this signal to turn
around top that Jasmin. Fine,he's not smart, but my picture and
People means I arrived. Ronald isstill waiting for his chance. Me.
I aren got mine. I gotkids to feed. I have to think
of their future. If I dothis right, they could have their own
(21:56):
reps and careers come out of orbit. Dear one, Ronald doesn't want the
kids to public. Two, he'llbe so pissed after this little stunt,
you won't speak for you. Youwon't speak to you for a week,
and three is unmentionables will be deepin Yasmin's business. Keep acting out,
and the kid's future will be MamaYasmin. He'll understand, Look like I

He continues checking his pockets looking forhis phone. Dude, swans in La
No she's not. She's waiting fora flat on of Chicago. No,
(24:18):
she's in Los Angeles with the youngcrooner from last night. What are the
kids. You can't lose your kids. It's bad publicity. Not all publicity
is good. I didn't lose mykids. We didn't get that clearly.
Ronald, move a little more tothe left and say it again with feeling
(24:41):
and a lot louder. Martha,can you make a real motherly type face
like you're scolding him. You can'tlose your kids. That is bad publicity.
First you get caught cheating, thenyou lose the kids. So not

(25:27):
say that is edited enough for television. I should go talk to him.
You see what I mean drama.He's always had drama asociated with him.
Sean never does. Infants rarely havedrama of their own making. A grown
man has to handle his business andhis own baggage. Take mister Henry here,
a grown man, a dad toall of us. Please Henry go
(25:51):
check on the adolescent. I don'tcare what either of them have to handle,
as long as this eaton's red carpetis handled. No need to bring

you think of my personal style atall when you were picking this out?
You're asking the Princess of modesty whyyou are wearing I have it. I

ladies plus management enter the halls andtoward the segment producer. It's a pleasure
to have you here tonight. Wedidn't think you were going to make it.
This is a live interview. Yougo on in ten minutes. Honor
our promises. If we say we'llbe there, we will. So not

Yes, Mike him too. Weneed his input. I'm not on the
show. I don't want to beon the show since you are than you

you're about to do your first postyasmin Ronald debacle is not the optimal exposure.
(29:00):
That is a start. I voteyes, Grace, you have sense?
Are you insinuating that Angel is afool? I'm not saying that can't

(29:26):
son, tigen your suspenders on yourgrown man answer to do what my daughters

hands added the mic pack and sheclips it on for him. It's not
that, it's not so hard.Ronald looks at the pack in his hand.
(29:48):
You want the one allegedly cheating,No, said, I'm nice,
but I bet Yawn is going toask me about your little running. Ronald
snaps on the mic. Fine,but you owe me one. If you
were made to make the sacrifice,then it doesn't count as a favor.
Did I get that right? Kelly? I couldn't say any better myself.
(30:08):
Hige five, Wait, taking,I'm going wait. Let's have a slow
celebratory sip for the show you areon in seven minutes follow me, Henry,

last saw you. Your turns tothe camera. This show was their first
televised appearance. That's why you'll alwayshold a special place in our hearts.
Well, hats off to you fornot forgetting your roots. They are would
(32:50):
keep us grounded. Oh and thefans. Of course, you don't feel
fame has changed you at all.We are still the same mus just more
people know our names, even ifyou want already a household name. You
are now after the two sets ofpictures that came out today, Ronald,
(33:14):
how are the managers handling the crisiswith the singer and store and you're a
little incident at the hotel? WillAmerica get to see how this plays out
behind the scenes on a reality show, so if it happens in our real
lives, the audience will see it. Then pulled it takes us set from
(33:35):
his flask? Can you give usa teaser? How is Angel's grace man?
Had you been handling the phone out? Do you have any strategies you
would like to share? Ronald isa junior member of our management staff,
Angel is definitely the boss, soshe's the best one to answer this.
Of course I have ideas on strategymore forward, but I'm just a part
(33:58):
of the team. You certainly are. I am a fan of both of
your shows, and it is incrediblehow you even Suave balance family life with
the stress, temptations, and strainedfrom being on the road. Suave's not
magic behind that, she's a starmanagering on bottle turns to the camera.
(34:20):
I love your sweetheart or you twoare the best couples, Henry. When
your daughters were here last, youmentioned being worried they would fall into the
traps of fame. Do you thinkyou've been able to guide them away from
moral feelings often associated with notoriety.My daughters are grown capable ladies with a
(34:45):
successful business. I feel their latemother and I gave them a strong foundation
to make decisions for Its sound likebe they famous or normal citizens? Do
you agree with the decisions that's farpassed to Henry I at all. For
example, forty eight hours after theirmother passed away, they hop on a
(35:07):
plane to honor their commitment to beon this show. They needed time to
grieve, but being here then helpthem get to this moment where I have
the pleasure of chatting with you again. You are they have been blessed.
Kelly, you have been associated withso many big names of late. Why
any of those rooms true? Ifthey were true, I would write about
(35:34):
it, not declare on national sevenmarket television. Will we be seeing Molli
Swa on the show now wrong?I wouldn't know. That's something. Anna.
You have a new book coming out? Can you tell us a little
bit about that? Sure? It'sthe third book in the Misfit Guide.
(35:54):
We write about life after the unexpected, where knew we don't know what will
happen. It can feel like beinglost in the woods with no compass,
no clear path back to the familiar. M sounds thoughtful and a little depressing.
(36:15):
This is a departure from the usualformat. I don't feel it is.
Every story has two sides. Ourfans know about the cheerful, glassy
version of us, but this isa let our hair downside for ourselves,
Kelly. Was it hard to writefor this or Fittages? Flow? Writing
(36:37):
is a craft you work at.It was hard, but not harder than
any of our other books. Well, thank you? For being here.
No, thank you for being sucha gracious souls, and we're out,
said it would be fifteen minutes.After all these years, you still give
(36:58):
the same style interview. Arthur's strutsinto the studio, followed by Grace,
Anna and Angel. What the whatthe hadies was that that was not an
interview, That was a hit squadon their careers. The ladies rather and
Henry unhooked their mic packs and putthem on the chair Yasmin waits for this
(37:21):
sound guy to undo hers. She'sabout to answer the call from another side
of a black ball. Angel andGrace rushed the ladies out Race Hills never
again. They'll be backyard. Theywere actually interior hallway evening. The group
(37:42):
heads towards the door in a cramped, poorly lit hallway with one blinking light
threatening to go out. Anna waitsfor the cast and mikes them again.
One caraman walks ahead of them,accompanied by a sound guy. This interview
was so important that you put yourlittle empire in danger. That's an oxymoron.
Some people will never be be nomatter what, no matter the type
(38:06):
of honey. Tell me about it. The saying is flies flies, I
shouldn't have to be involved in this. It was before my time. Repercussions
will affect your check. It's likea harror's mind. So, yeah,
you're part of this. Now,I don't we have this conversation outside.
We don't need to compound. Wait, is something here I'm missing? She
(38:31):
stops walking. You just got that, y'all say, I'm slow club duty.
Nope, don't want it. I'mquiet. It's for the manage of
the team to know. I'm apart of that. Bags at the small
studio. I guess it's a littlemore waiting for them. Now you understand
(38:52):
my plate. It's not fun,is it. Grace shoots a cold side
eye, and I interjects. Eightiesand gents, we are traveling together back
to the hotel. A cameraman andthe town guy are going to capture the
ride. I want excitement about theupcoming events and talk about the A lister
(39:13):
since he won't be on the showbecause of his agent. Couldn't you have
negotiated better? Grace? Is shetalking to me? She bet a nut?
Betta go. We want emphasis onthe one character who won't be appearing
on the screen. This is alove story with all of the glits does
(39:35):
everyone understand? And it shuts thesue vilmost door. She smacks the door
twice and a car pulls off outside. Trees whiz by as they come onto
the highway. Yasmin, yasmin?Are you ready for this evening? Nowhere?
Clothes? What does one wears?It decorate his arm? Right?
(39:59):
I was supposed it called swap againGosch's pockets? Have you seen my phone?
Race rolls her eyes. This iswhat honey gets you. Sear Low
cames his phone and dials, avoidingGrace's eyeline. He puts the call on
speaker. The phone rings and ringsand rings. She would have had to
(40:20):
be landing about now, trying toget three kids off the plane and picking
up her suitcase will be an ordeal. I bet she would have been able
to take a phone call, andshe had a husband to help her with
the little ones. I'm sure shewould find it easier to remove your thoughts
from my pensive terrain. You neednot trespass upon it. Oh the wordsman
(40:42):
can't think his wife, can't talkhis wife into his bed too far?
She didn't mean it. You're fine, I'm secure in my relationship. Something
America can't say about you in anyrelationship, including your familiar ones. That's
amma. My parents are none ofyour business. Out of my family and

(04:53):
forget what you came from. Ido recall, and there weren't any people
like you around. Kelly steps forwardin a confrontational manner. Do you know
what we do to your kind?Where I'm from? Bloggers shrinks back.
No, but I can guess.Blogger scourage to the sidewalk in snaps three
(05:15):
pictures of the group. No,we're going to pay for that remark later,
Kelly later is exactly that, notthe present, and I hangs up
the phone. You'll take care ofthat backlash on your own, since you
don't want to listen to the professionalswho handle these problems for you. Funny
how you claim to be a professionalonly after a situation is blown up in
(05:39):
her face? Larious how you tendto just not show up. How joke
is getting old? Besides, I'mhere now. Angel's phone rings. Yeah,
caraman, three crocks in for atight shot. We're in the car
heading toward a drug store. WhereWhy when are you coming back? Who
(06:00):
is on the phone? Angel wavesher away and it doesn't move. Tell
me later. There's too much tofix right now. Grace hangs up.
Do you here? I think wecould start planning. Read I manage the
ladies. You produce a show.I won't tell you how to do your
job. You leave my assistant inme to fix this without any input.
(06:24):
Why don't we all sit down,order some champagne, take a grip,
then we can talk this all aboutthe group collectively size. They search for
chairs around them and push three tablestogether, and I walked back to join
the crew. As they prepare tostart shooting again, Ronald follows her.
You were seeing I have approval topay for the clothes, hair and make
(06:46):
it for the event. In return, we start shooting from now to you
step out of the car. Thenetwork scrambled to find another team to shoot
wrangled talent simultaneously and a hand out. Mike packs and then begins shooting again,
Angel, Kelly, Henry and Seansaid, and it holds up her
hand and counts down. We'll goin five, four, three two.
(07:13):
Okay, we have an hour beforethe interview tonight. Since Yasmin refuses to
prioritize the premiere over the interview,her mama taught her to let her yes
mean yes. She doesn't back outof a commitment because a better one comes
along. Missus Henry taught Jenny andYasmin well, but we need to cancel
their interview. Jasmin is walking thered carpet with an A list actor.
(07:34):
This could be the beginning of herreal career. The pastor says, we
don't cancel. I say, weagree. He has influence where it counts
everyone. We need to have thisevening run like clockwork, of course,
not your type of clockwork. Brokenclock at an hour behind. The waiter
(07:55):
approaches the table timidly. Are youoff Fame? Move stage left. You're
taking up the most of the shot. I can't see their faces. Waiter
shuffles out of the shot. Mis it better? And it gives the
thumbs up eights, Ronald, youhave the contacts. Get us paired up.
(08:20):
Sean is this a bad time totake your word. Yes, what
Angel means is she's preoccupied. We'llhave two bottles of champagne. Keep it
coming. Henry hams a waiter aCrisp hundred dollars bill. The missus used
to say, there is nothing likenew money to make you feel better.
(08:41):
The waiter nods, thank you,sir. Get your drinks. Waiter leaves.
As you said before, we don'twant this to come back home us.
We are stretched in too many directionsto allow the way to add a
rule. Celebrity report to this messare correct? Now? Where was I?
(09:01):
Sean? Check and see when Suakand dressed? The ladies still in
the air. I'll contact Suah.Let me see lands they slyly exchange glances.
Oh, I want Sean talking toSua. We don't have time for
family drama. You can't give mejob assignments. I'm Grace's assistant. Ronald
(09:22):
is yours? You want me tocall Grace? Yep. I'm not doing
twice the work for half the pay. Angel checks Grace. If you do
this for Angels, she'll owe youone. You could catch him later.
Angel's phone buzzes. She picks upthe device Grace says to contact SWA.
(09:45):
Ronald patches back, Yes, shehad work to do after she lands.
Yeah, yeah, man, youowe me one do Wait if Grace said
you must do it, it's nota favor anymore. That doesn't make any
sense. I still have to dothe work. That's how it works,
Son, you miss drop a tune? Angel cell vibrates, She flips it
(10:07):
over and puts the call on speakerphone. Martha, go who you have
on your own tonight? Besides whereyou land on the Hollywood hierarchy we're working
on. When we're taking I'll headto you now. Oh, we're shooting
today. You'd have to be oncamera just this once. I'm making an
(10:30):
exception, ma'am. Your champagne.If the place in the flutes in front
of each one of them, hepops the top. Yeah. The waiter
fills the flutes, then leaves.Where are you? We're sitting outside the
caffee on Maholland Drive. We've beenblessed with a golden opportunity. We can't
(10:54):
mess us up. I'm getting inthe car now. Don't do anything until
I get there. Ya one onone Freeway. Moments later, a black
Lincoln Town car edge along and bumperto bumper traffic Interior town car continuous Jenny
Grayson Yasma is sitting the back ofthe town car as it creep by.
(11:15):
Yasma watches the buildings through the tintedwindows. Sean is talking to Squat about
dressing you ladies. She has toget herself ready for the mayor too.
What if we just paid her andnot you? Oh, you're giving her
baby vacation. Why what has shedone for you lately? She dressed us
(11:35):
this morning and then arranged for herown transportation to follow us across the country
with a children. You're too nice, Daddy says, you attract more bees
with honey than vinegar bees sting,even if you have honey and you know
it flies right. Speaking of gettingstung, did anyone tell Ronald that his
(11:58):
wife isn't how Sean is probably fillinghim in esis. We should wait to
tell Ronald. He may not takeit well. We need him to be
at his best for the premiere tonight. We don't have time for a piste
off. Ronald with his sophomor fits. The car pulls into the parking lot
and comes to WALLT. I'll remindAngel how important it is to keep her
(12:22):
assistant on a short leaseh Sean neverhas the outburst that that pompous literary major
deaths. Sean doesn't have the responsibilitiesRonald has. Therefore we can't expect less
trouble from him. Exterior drug store. Evening the car parks in the middle
of the lot. The group exitsthe car and ambles toward the drug store.
(12:46):
Keeping appropriate control over a subordinate ismore important. John does all your
work. He's not here now,is it? I mean you're working?
Of course? Is you're wonderful tous? That's the b thing? Something
like that interry a drug store.Moments later, the group shuffles down the
(13:09):
makeupile of a generic one down drugstore. A fluorescent light flickers overhead.
Jasmin examines a mascara. Have youthought about patronizing another store? What if
someone takes a picture of you?It'll be better than the time you caught
me buying core pounds of candy.Not the worst thing a client would be
(13:31):
caught buying. Jenny picks up eyeshadow, highlights, lipstick, and shades of
eye pencil. What's the worst Youwouldn't want us selling your secrets? What
secrets. Jasmin eyes a power panelhanging from a pig and plucks a candy
bar from the display. Not beforea premiere. I'm not going to instantly
(13:54):
gain the weight. Yes, yoursister thinks of every thing. Just one
bite, no, and don't eatanything you're allergic to. We don't want
our secret to be rolling around onthe red carpet. I'm not going to
have a seizure. Will you relax? Did you did you plan what one
(14:15):
this morning? Get your points?No junk food today. There's three of
them. Step towards the cash register. How are you holding up? This
isn't too much depression. Scanny beepsare heard in the distance. For it
stressed? May I said jest ofa supplements? Yes you may, no
(14:41):
thanks, we don't know what's inthe supplements. Can't take a chance like
it, sister said Jenny. Collectsare changed from the cashier and they head
out of the store. Don't wantto mess up our meal ticket. Do
we know where everyone is so wecan attempt to be on time for this
interview. Since our fearless leader can'tprioritize, we have to complete what we
(15:05):
started. We are known for beingreliant. Grace fishes through the bag and
pulls out a headshot of the cashiersmiling face. She waves the photo.
You got another one. The ladiescrawling to the car. The driver shuts
the door. I want to seethis one, Grace, hands are the
(15:28):
picture. Jenny analyzes the face,joining the photo paper. I think we
can help this one. Grace snatchesthe picture back. You can't help them
all. You need to be concernedabout yourself again, your job or Shawn's
The phone trills, Grace answers.She is so cuteful and so am I.
(15:58):
Grace mumbles of the distance. Theladies wait until she finishes the call.
Our other house will meet up withus at the interview. What are
we wearing? Do you have timesat the most? Grace checks her watch.
Nope, yes, been at Jenny. Gather around a tablet. We
(16:22):
can do a drive up at abig box store. It better not be
the one where you can wear yourshower curtain and some slippers as clothes.
I'm no style it up like that. It depends on if you're still mad
at Kelly. That's going up lateand miss mer CHINGO your good name.
(16:44):
Hear her a long movie where hertatars can't shows dang, I guess there's
still latent hostility left. I'm nothostile toward her, just in a playful,
frank move. Yeah. Sure.It's a mansion living room evening,
(17:06):
and the jess's view of the cityis see to the background through a humongous
picture window. Donning a super tightdress, Swas stands in a large living
room with a few modern pieces scatteredabout. Three children. What about the
open floor plan causing habit? Sitdown? A stylist, ultra thin,
(17:27):
very fashioned, forward twenty year oldyoung man, cled and tight jeans stands
in front of SWA. Really,you stop fidgeting like you can't see the
kids tearing up his house. He'llrename my invitation to the movie if they
keep this up. I should havegone with the Bad Boys star. I
can't work like this. SWA looksat itself in the mirror. Great,
(17:49):
because this dress isn't working for me. It's the fifth dress you've tried on.
Do none of them work? Maybeit's the three kids post body that
isn't working. SWA peels out ofthe dress. Look at me, I'm
perfect. There isn't an ounce offat on me. You are gorgeous.
(18:10):
I was joking. I guess youaren't in your normal jovial mood. This
is a premiere and I'm going withthe top singer in the country, and
you're sure you want to bring thekids. Isn't your husband going to hit
the roof? He'sht in Yasmin.He has no right to be mad.
Oh my goodness, you saw itright. Wow, they got him coming
(18:30):
out of the hotel room. Spascrollsthrough a phone and shows him a picture
that was so staged. No hotelsecurity would that that many paths slide past
them, especially since Guinevere is stayingthere. I let's gets another dress off
the rack. How do you know? Style as handsis a blue dress,
(18:53):
beaded, film fitting and extremely short. I know an enterprising little bird there.
Snyla slides the dress ver Squa's nudeform. She dishes on everyone,
but she wouldn't tell me a peepabout Yasmin in the group. Yasmin tips
well in that hotel they are likefamily to her. He only please.
(19:15):
She spends money a home away fromhome, which makes this worse. That
cheating skink screwed him in their workhome and got caught. Young Cruner Jinks
comes down the stairs into the openair designed kitchen, living room, den
area stairs at SUA's type. Bombstill looks posed as she shimmis the dress
over her dairy air young and thatTosh looks better than the dress. You
(19:40):
should go without the dress, tacky, classless. I wouldn't be able to
get a new boy toy if Idid that. Jinks tries to kiss her.
She pushes him away. The kids. You ain't bothered, you bucket.
Don't swear in front of the kids. Mama, Why can't grown ups
(20:03):
make promises? I don't have timefor questions. You see Mama's trying to
get dressed. Keep playing, butI want lunch. You keep playing and
I'll take you to Spagos. Iwant it happy. You won't be happy
if I stop getting dressed. Youshould stop getting dressed and call them nanny
(20:25):
Yo styling Johnny. We'll take allthe dresses. She can model them for
me. In about thirty minutes.We're does skinny Swede shick to come get
these kids, Jinks, this ismy time with my kids. Go downstairs
and play in your studio or upstairsand play with yourself. I don't do
that. Play video games. TakeFelix with you. He likes those things.
(20:48):
His father doesn't allow that stuff,only reading for his kid. All
right, then I'll give you twentyminutes and you bring you in those bedside
men as upstairs to be polite.I got you the best ticket in town.
You know, people's gonna be takingour pick yo, people's though,
I'm gonna look like a like afamily man with all these kids. Any
(21:11):
minutes on video games, then I'llbe up James slaves oh yo yo,
just saying so stop it a hammerdon't need to be smart. It just
needs a head that can make animplant his profile with mine, and I'm
guaranteed more airtime on wrangling talent.Besides, imagine Ronald's face when he sees
(21:34):
my picture in People, the stylishchuncles and give Swath this signal to turn
around top that Jasmin. Fine,he's not smart, but my picture and
People means I arrived. Ronald isstill waiting for his chance. Me.
I aren got mine. I gotkids to feed. I have to think
of their future. If I dothis right, they could have their own
(21:56):
reps and careers come out of orbit. Dear one, Ronald doesn't want the
kids to public. Two, he'llbe so pissed after this little stunt,
you won't speak for you. Youwon't speak to you for a week,
and three is unmentionables will be deepin Yasmin's business. Keep acting out,
and the kid's future will be MamaYasmin. He'll understand, Look like I
(22:22):
understand this Yasmin nonsense. Well haveyou called him? I'm not going to
the dress will do all the callingI need. Swa twirls. Let this
be my ten voicemails Ronald pathetic,egotistical jerk. So this is the one,
Nah Jinks, ain't the one?The dress? The dress is the
(22:47):
one, tom Me, you lookso pretty, you look like tiny Tiffany
in your videos. This is theone. I'm done in less than twenty
minutes. Leave the dresses. Arkgathers the dresses in her arms aside manner
time hate Look at that smile.The dumber they are, the better they
(23:11):
are. Stylelessly, Mommy, isit really better to be dune? Exterior
show studio evening and a lot outsidethe show studio, wath Is convertible,
a limo carrying the majority of thegroup, a van and a Lincoln town
car parked in the spaces near thedoor. Anna and the sound crew eggs
(23:33):
at the van. Jenny bounces outof the town car. I got out
outfit for tonight. Jenny thrust thebags at each recipient. Couldn't have had
contact the squaff of this. Sheshould have been rerouted somewhere due to the
storm. The less Bottle searches forhis phone. Man, I don't know
(23:57):
how to tell you this, Ronaldsays. Ronald pay shown no attention.
He continues checking his pockets looking forhis phone. Dude, swans in La
No she's not. She's waiting fora flat on of Chicago. No,
(24:18):
she's in Los Angeles with the youngcrooner from last night. What are the
kids. You can't lose your kids. It's bad publicity. Not all publicity
is good. I didn't lose mykids. We didn't get that clearly.
Ronald, move a little more tothe left and say it again with feeling
(24:41):
and a lot louder. Martha,can you make a real motherly type face
like you're scolding him. You can'tlose your kids. That is bad publicity.
First you get caught cheating, thenyou lose the kids. So not
good city. I didn't lose mykids, just my wife. If I
(25:03):
may interrupt, your kids came withher? What the I mean? Has
she? Where's my phone? Where'sMark? Bleep? Bleeping being bleep,
lovely wife of mine? Lost her, mine, our kids? He has
been hands her him her phone.Ronald storms off ollo An. I would
(25:27):
say that is edited enough for television. I should go talk to him.
You see what I mean drama.He's always had drama asociated with him.
Sean never does. Infants rarely havedrama of their own making. A grown
man has to handle his business andhis own baggage. Take mister Henry here,
a grown man, a dad toall of us. Please Henry go
(25:51):
check on the adolescent. I don'tcare what either of them have to handle,
as long as this eaton's red carpetis handled. No need to bring
baggage. Yeah, hasn't been inJennuy reach for their bags? What do
you? What are you two doingtaking care of our baggage? Kelly wrest
is worth her clothing, clothing asshe changes it. A lot looks like
(26:15):
Kelly is aiming for a nude shot, says y'all's cover story. We always
are run up to studios with ourhair, clothes and makeup done, our
private room to prepare, and Ipromise to us you know this. We
know this from experience. Get aclose up. No, just no.
This morning it was your breast,and tonight you're revealing the matching set.
(26:37):
Ladies, we are going inside.Marches the group towards the door. I'm
finished anyway, Kelly pulls up herskirt a little as she walks. Did
you think of my personal style atall when you were picking this out?
You're asking the Princess of modesty whyyou are wearing I have it. I
(27:03):
don't have to check you out fortoday. The door swings open. The
ladies plus management enter the halls andtoward the segment producer. It's a pleasure
to have you here tonight. Wedidn't think you were going to make it.
This is a live interview. Yougo on in ten minutes. Honor
our promises. If we say we'llbe there, we will. So not
(27:26):
la of us, but we don'tbelieve in blowing people off, even if
it's the local show. We arein seven markets across the country. They
were our first televised interview. We'veseen it. Ah, that's the one
with the mismatch shoes that you takeoff mid interview. Don't remind us Denny
(27:48):
is walking and putting on Kelly's foundation. We are a little lighter on one
side. Yeaman, don't take offyour wig mid interview. Did that?
Yes? And now America will knowabout this incident. Shoot ho, still,
I have to do thee your eyeliner. I can do my own.
(28:11):
No, you can't. I'm doinga bench at sixties, flower child,
look as a nod to your benches, NAXI dress. This is so not
me. It is tonight. Ronaldcomes running to catch up. You're Ronald
right. The sound guys come inexchange Mike packs for just writing life.
(28:34):
Yes, Mike him too. Weneed his input. I'm not on the
show. I don't want to beon the show since you are than you
are. This is a horrible puremove for us. Actually, the show
you're about to do your first postyasmin Ronald debacle is not the optimal exposure.
(29:00):
That is a start. I voteyes, Grace, you have sense?
Are you insinuating that Angel is afool? I'm not saying that can't
exercise. You were out of thisone walk on, walk on, not
the time. Actually, that isa bull life. Yep, yep,
(29:26):
son, tigen your suspenders on yourgrown man answer to do what my daughters
need, mister Henry, we needyou to for my girls anything. Henry
hands added the mic pack and sheclips it on for him. It's not
that, it's not so hard.Ronald looks at the pack in his hand.
(29:48):
You want the one allegedly cheating,No, said, I'm nice,
but I bet Yawn is going toask me about your little running. Ronald
snaps on the mic. Fine,but you owe me one. If you
were made to make the sacrifice,then it doesn't count as a favor.
Did I get that right? Kelly? I couldn't say any better myself.
(30:08):
Hige five, Wait, taking,I'm going wait. Let's have a slow
celebratory sip for the show you areon in seven minutes follow me, Henry,
Jenny, Kelly, Ronald, andJasmin start walking towards the studio.
Angel waves Ronald back off the show. We need to talk. I'll be
(30:34):
watching. Remember your media training.Well, I hope you can multitask because
I want Justin Morrison is my dateand angelis gradient m m. Yes,
maybe she will finally smile after adate with him interior Women's Chat set Evening
(30:56):
Jorn middle aged lady there up ina type on slightly devious but extremely nice
on the surface, stands as agroup makes their way onto the set of
Woman's Chat. Ladies, it's anhonor to have you here. The ladies
Henry and Ronald sit on the couch. In front of them is a glass
wowil shaved table with a book ondisplay. It's a pleasure to be here
(31:21):
again. I always said you wouldbe famous. Were the first leaving us.
Jane looks at her cards. Sorry, there isn't a preating group,
but we are crunched for time.No problem. This is a five to
seven second minute segment, right well, I decided it to be fifteen minutes.
(31:42):
Son of a gun. Don't trythis and do this to us again.
In seven six five we're looking upbuskies four three. I'm not going
to sit here and get steward becauseyou got caught two one. Welcome back.
(32:04):
As promised, we have the ladiesfrom just writing Life with us.
They brought along some guests. Whenmy left is pastor Henry and Ronald.
Ladies at the end need no introduction. It is always a pleasure to have
you come back an honor to behere sitting on your couch at normal people
(32:25):
chat. Well, ladies, youhave been on quite a right since I
last saw you. Your turns tothe camera. This show was their first
televised appearance. That's why you'll alwayshold a special place in our hearts.
Well, hats off to you fornot forgetting your roots. They are would
(32:50):
keep us grounded. Oh and thefans. Of course, you don't feel
fame has changed you at all.We are still the same mus just more
people know our names, even ifyou want already a household name. You
are now after the two sets ofpictures that came out today, Ronald,
(33:14):
how are the managers handling the crisiswith the singer and store and you're a
little incident at the hotel? WillAmerica get to see how this plays out
behind the scenes on a reality show, so if it happens in our real
lives, the audience will see it. Then pulled it takes us set from
(33:35):
his flask? Can you give usa teaser? How is Angel's grace man?
Had you been handling the phone out? Do you have any strategies you
would like to share? Ronald isa junior member of our management staff,
Angel is definitely the boss, soshe's the best one to answer this.
Of course I have ideas on strategymore forward, but I'm just a part
(33:58):
of the team. You certainly are. I am a fan of both of
your shows, and it is incrediblehow you even Suave balance family life with
the stress, temptations, and strainedfrom being on the road. Suave's not
magic behind that, she's a starmanagering on bottle turns to the camera.
(34:20):
I love your sweetheart or you twoare the best couples, Henry. When
your daughters were here last, youmentioned being worried they would fall into the
traps of fame. Do you thinkyou've been able to guide them away from
moral feelings often associated with notoriety.My daughters are grown capable ladies with a
(34:45):
successful business. I feel their latemother and I gave them a strong foundation
to make decisions for Its sound likebe they famous or normal citizens? Do
you agree with the decisions that's farpassed to Henry I at all. For
example, forty eight hours after theirmother passed away, they hop on a
(35:07):
plane to honor their commitment to beon this show. They needed time to
grieve, but being here then helpthem get to this moment where I have
the pleasure of chatting with you again. You are they have been blessed.
Kelly, you have been associated withso many big names of late. Why
any of those rooms true? Ifthey were true, I would write about
(35:34):
it, not declare on national sevenmarket television. Will we be seeing Molli
Swa on the show now wrong?I wouldn't know. That's something. Anna.
You have a new book coming out? Can you tell us a little
bit about that? Sure? It'sthe third book in the Misfit Guide.
(35:54):
We write about life after the unexpected, where knew we don't know what will
happen. It can feel like beinglost in the woods with no compass,
no clear path back to the familiar. M sounds thoughtful and a little depressing.
(36:15):
This is a departure from the usualformat. I don't feel it is.
Every story has two sides. Ourfans know about the cheerful, glassy
version of us, but this isa let our hair downside for ourselves,
Kelly. Was it hard to writefor this or Fittages? Flow? Writing
(36:37):
is a craft you work at.It was hard, but not harder than
any of our other books. Well, thank you? For being here.
No, thank you for being sucha gracious souls, and we're out,
said it would be fifteen minutes.After all these years, you still give
(36:58):
the same style interview. Arthur's strutsinto the studio, followed by Grace,
Anna and Angel. What the whatthe hadies was that that was not an
interview, That was a hit squadon their careers. The ladies rather and
Henry unhooked their mic packs and putthem on the chair Yasmin waits for this
(37:21):
sound guy to undo hers. She'sabout to answer the call from another side
of a black ball. Angel andGrace rushed the ladies out Race Hills never
again. They'll be backyard. Theywere actually interior hallway evening. The group
(37:42):
heads towards the door in a cramped, poorly lit hallway with one blinking light
threatening to go out. Anna waitsfor the cast and mikes them again.
One caraman walks ahead of them,accompanied by a sound guy. This interview
was so important that you put yourlittle empire in danger. That's an oxymoron.
Some people will never be be nomatter what, no matter the type
(38:06):
of honey. Tell me about it. The saying is flies flies, I
shouldn't have to be involved in this. It was before my time. Repercussions
will affect your check. It's likea harror's mind. So, yeah,
you're part of this. Now,I don't we have this conversation outside.
We don't need to compound. Wait, is something here I'm missing? She
(38:31):
stops walking. You just got that, y'all say, I'm slow club duty.
Nope, don't want it. I'mquiet. It's for the manage of
the team to know. I'm apart of that. Bags at the small
studio. I guess it's a littlemore waiting for them. Now you understand
(38:52):
my plate. It's not fun,is it. Grace shoots a cold side
eye, and I interjects. Eightiesand gents, we are traveling together back
to the hotel. A cameraman andthe town guy are going to capture the
ride. I want excitement about theupcoming events and talk about the A lister
(39:13):
since he won't be on the showbecause of his agent. Couldn't you have
negotiated better? Grace? Is shetalking to me? She bet a nut?
Betta go. We want emphasis onthe one character who won't be appearing
on the screen. This is alove story with all of the glits does
(39:35):
everyone understand? And it shuts thesue vilmost door. She smacks the door
twice and a car pulls off outside. Trees whiz by as they come onto
the highway. Yasmin, yasmin?Are you ready for this evening? Nowhere?
Clothes? What does one wears?It decorate his arm? Right?
(39:59):
I was supposed it called swap againGosch's pockets? Have you seen my phone?
Race rolls her eyes. This iswhat honey gets you. Sear Low
cames his phone and dials, avoidingGrace's eyeline. He puts the call on
speaker. The phone rings and ringsand rings. She would have had to
