People say that everyone is connected by a red string of fate. The people we are destined to be with could be close by while some cases the string stretches out.

You have the ability to see other people's red string as well as your own, but in your case you haven't found the person at the end of the string. Time passes and you see that the color red started to fade away, which you didn't mind.

One day while you're working the late night shift at the convenience store when a girl suddenly entered the convenience store. When she reaches the counter she places two bottles of soju and a couple cans of beer. You catch a glimpse of her face, even in that small period of time you saw how beautiful she is. She then hands you her card, and right then and there the two ends of the string meet.

"Sorry, but can I ask what's your name?"

"Kwon Eunbi."

Now, how would you tell Eunbi that both of you are bound to fall in love at the cost of one of your lives?

i'm looking right at the other half of me

[ IZ*ONE's Eunbi x Male Reader Fluff & Angst ]

This took so long... and finally it's out! Thank you @brokennightmares01 for such a great idea, and I'm sorry I took so long to reply </3 This was difficult emotionally to write. I guess I'm just too attached to Eunbi lmfao

"The fuck are you looking at, cunt?"

Ah, welcome to South Korea, one of the many places in this miserable world where you can just be an adult fresh out of teen years trying to make a living, yet still be bothered by people like this one. You never should have agreed to this ridiculous night shift. There were less of these freaks in the daylight.

You look away from the musty man and give no response. It's how you deal with ninety-eight percent of these situations. It's the safest way to go around it, but also the most dangerous. You never know when you looked or said nothing the wrong way.

11 PM on the clock. Just five more hours to go and you're good, you reassure yourself. Remember, the pay will be much bigger if you go through this shift.

"That'll be a total of 17000 won, sir," you inform the man, looking nowhere but down. Down as you collect the change and the receipt. Down as you pass the money to his hands blackened from dirt and grease.

When he leaves, you feel the relief come back to you. Oh, you're thankful just to live another night. You may hate this world and all the miserable little fuckers in it, but it's no good lying and saying you thought death was the best escape route. No, death would do nothing at best. You have no family, you have little friends. Being dead changes absolutely nothing. Because of that, you just have to hang on the best you can.

It can be pretty hard sometimes.

You hope that there won't be any more customers. You don't have the mood to deal with more rude individuals who don't see you as an individual. You're just a servant to them. Although that's kind of your job, it hurts to see how differently people look at you if you had a different job, looked a little differently.

The bells to the 7-11 ring. A woman enters.

Strange how you knew it was her from the moment she entered. From the moment you caught an eyeful of her pretty face, her pretty smile, you know now that you've finally met her.

It's ruining you. She's ruining you. It should have been a moment of evangelization, finally meeting the supposed love of your life. But what good is there in having one when you know just by looking at the red string, that you could die at the climax of your meeting? That she could die? It's like an indie film with a poor plot twist.

When you ask her her name, she's blunt. Straight to the point; no poorly composed giggle or attempt at conversation. She looks tired—her eyes are swollen with red, from what you guess isn't sourced from just lack of sleep. What was she doing, you wonder, during all the time she hasn't found you? How was she doing?

"Well?" she prompts, rather impatiently.

You realize you've been staring at the red thinning thread between the two of you for too long. The more you gaze at it, the more fear you feel for the two of you. But there comes the love, too; she's like living deja vu. You've seen her before, you're sure. You just can't place where. But she reminds you of a good memory nested in a photo album, a sweet puppy love crush in middle school years. Eunbi is nostalgia, sweetness, affectionateness—all rolled into one pretty girl you meet by chance, who also happens to be your lover.

(Not yet, anyway, but soon.

Soon? You can't love her! If you fall in love with her, she could die. You could die. If you went ahead with this, one of you could just drop dead during a normal date. One of you would be left alone, heartbroken for life. This is a world where there would be no other one for you. No, the crush you had in middle school for whom you tried desperately to match your string with isn't your destiny. Neither was that one-night stand. There's only one for you, molded by whatever came before the world, and she just told you her name. You can't just move on to a rebound.

But you can't just... stop this from happening, can you? It's fate; there's no easy way around it. You're made to fall in love no matter what happens, no matter how short the time you have left is.

So, what should you do?)

"It's on the house," you tell her.

"Don't test me, please," she says tiredly. She's supporting herself by one arm perched on the counter, gazing at you with unamused pupils. "I've had a long night. I just need the beer and you can go your merry little way out of this underpaying convenience store."

Ouch. "Are you usually this straightforward, Kwon Eunbi?"

"Are you usually this desperate for a good fuck?" she counters smartly.

"Y-you're pretty and all," you admit. You have to admit you were not exactly just admiring her gorgeous face, but also her gorgeous body. But you have your morals, and she has hers. You have no intention that strays from wanting to settle this out. "But I don't want to fuck you. I promise."

"Huh." Eunbi smiles, crossing her arms on top of her green sweatshirt. "That's a first."

You push back her credit card, sliding it above the smooth cashier counter-table. "Do guys not, like, do stuff for you without wanting a 'favor' in return?" you ask.

Eunbi shrugs. "I guess. They just think I'm a pretty face with a pair of tits. Nothing more." She slides back her card. Her forced, sarcastic smile warns you to not play this losing game with her—you're tired, she's tired, you both want an easy way out.

"Well then let me be the first."

"And why would you do that for me," Eunbi leans over the counter, looking up at you with a sweetly challenging smile, "mister Nice Guy?"

She's right. What proper answer can you give her without sounding like a creep? What were you supposed to do, anyway? Tell her you're the love of your life who needs to spend all hours of the day with you now before it's too late?

"I guess we'll have to find out," you say steadily.

It's definitely not an answer she expected, but hey, she's smiling. It must mean something.

"You left your shift just like that?" Eunbi asks, looking back at the 7-11. It's a dark, pitch-black night, and the forest surrounding the area doesn't look too safe. You've ventured in scarier places before, though, so they can give as good as they can, and you'd be unbothered. Working in retail gives you that immunity.

You answer, "Yeah." Unscrew the cork from the soju while Eunbi pops open a can of sizzling beer. The smell mixes in with the natural scent of leaves and ground. Your 7-11 is set in a rather rural part of the city, as ironic and contradicting as it sounds, so the smell of gasoline and smoke is much more distant than one would think.

"Wish I could say that for myself," Eunbi says, shaking her head with a smile. God, she's pretty. She has the cutest, most mischievous-looking smile in the world. And yes, you're pushing through Korea and setting that record for her. Her smile is contained and small, not as wide as your friend Jiwoo's or as timid as Hyewon's, but her eyes slant upwards, adding to the cuteness factor. "Should have ditched that exam the second I saw Professor Bae was in the class."

"You're still in school?"

You can't remember the last time you stepped foot into a college. There's a reason you've been working at 7-11 ever since the first semester: you couldn't pay for it. You saved every penny and dime you could find, yet never got to the needed amount. This girl's lucky to even be attending classes.

Beer drapes Eunbi's plump lower lip as she takes it all in, bottoms up. You can tell she's been drinking for most of her life—she barely struggles for air while she downs the intoxicating liquid.

The can goes down, and her head remains tilted downwards from the back as well. Her eyes are a different story, though. They're hidden far back her eyelids. " Fuck, that always feels so good," sighs Eunbi.

"Careful," you add helpfully.

"Fuck you. Why do you care?"

Because I already love you. Okay, let's settle for "like," just in case you want to take things slow. But I know I love you because I've been searching for you my whole life. Because that's how it's supposed to happen. Because you're so pretty but so fucking lonely that it makes me want to protect you. Because I don't want to leave you when we both need each other, when you probably need more help than I do. Because—

"I don't know," you say. Shrug. "It feels right. Don't you think?"

Eunbi giggles a little. "Yeah, you're right. It sure does."

Suppose since Eunbi's drinking straight from the can, you can drink straight from the bottle. It's been a minute or more since you had soju. And it's... good. Weird, but still good. Drinks like these are on your neither-good-or-bad side. They're just something to fill your stomach when food becomes scarce, or when strength is so scarce you can't eat food around the house.

You would offer some to Eunbi so she can finish it instead of you, but she doesn't look like the type of girl to be able to stomach down a mix of liquids, no matter how "similar" they are. So you hold yourself back.

The forest has streetlights, so you safely go through there. It's not a typical wilderness kind of forest, but one you just like to call as one for the mass of trees. There aren't any animals—just you, Eunbi, and the pregnant moon.

Minutes pass filled with nothing but silence (except for twigs snapping), and finally Eunbi speaks up. "Yeah, I'm in school," she answers. It's probably just to fill the awkward silence, but it's already a step.

"Uni?"

"How'd you know?"

Lucky guess? Lover's instinct? You-or-me-can-die-at-any-given-second-if-we-fall-in-love instinct?

You force a grin. "Just do. Is the drinking because of the exam thing?"

Eunbi's shoulders slump. "Yeah," she says. "But I've been drinking even before that, so don't you worry. I'm an experienced alcoholic."

"Gotcha. I wasn't planning to, though."

Wrong words. Wrong delivery. You picture the frown that would darken her features, but once you look into the bigger picture, all you can see on her face is an entertained smile.

She bumps you, driving you sideways of the road. Shocked, you do the same. But she's stronger than you thought. If she put all her might into it, she can knock you down and send you rolling down the hill. And she almost, almost does, if it weren't for your grab at her arm. From there, you maneuver the force she exerts into nothing but air, pulling her to you. It ends up with her back against your front and her small face right below your chin.

And now, you're staring each other down. Great. Way to go for the first meeting. You got drunk and bumped into each other on purpose then you wrestled her to stay calm. To finish it off, there's this staring contest.

Her long dark hair rounds her face, which displays a challenge: keep your front strong. But it's not easy to when you literally have the prettiest girl you've ever seen pinned to your chest, with her back and bum pressed firmly to your front, and her pretty face looking arrogant and smug in the moonlight.

Stare her down. She looks deeply into your eyes.

One. Two. Three? Four. Then, five—

Eunbi's blink signals defeat. Still looking up at you, with her head tilted backwards, she smiles. "I like you, mister Nice Guy," she says.

"You're not so bad yourself, Kwon Eunbi."

"Hm," she chuckles. She pulls away. "What's next?"

"Mall?" you offer.

To your surprise, she laughs. "The mall? At this hour?" she asks you, just to make sure you aren't kidding or anything.

"Why not? We're both depressed kids trying to survive. Can't we call this a cheat day?"

Eunbi considers this. "As long as I ride shotgun."

"Wait," you say, holding up your hands, "how'd you know I drive a—"

Cold metal meets your palm. Eunbi's holding your ring of keys in place with your hand. Your fingers are curled around each other. Your breath feels nonexistent.

Eunbi bumps the signal button with the heel of her wrist and looks deep into the woods expectantly. Your car then beeps to life, sending a red signal to the darkness and blaring its lights. Your mouth is sore from it being wide open the entire time.

"Lucky guess" is all Eunbi is able to offer as an answer.

Okay, so the love of your life pickpocketed your car keys and you didn't know until she chose to tell you herself. Wifey material? Probably.

You're on the road, veering through a clear path on the way to your local mall. It's known for having a twenty-four-hour open time, so it's sure to have a majority of its stores open, even at this hour. You can probably spend a lot of time there doing fun stuff.

Eunbi's beside you in the passenger seat. The wind whips her black hair back. She's smiling; that gives you a bit of fulfilment. But then she says:

"You're a terrible driver."

"Oh yeah? I bet you can't drive for shit either!" You have to yell over the gusts of wind entering your rolled-down windows.

Grasslands and trees say hello and goodbye to your side point of view. When you were younger, you tried to say hi to them and goodbye as quickly as you could, knowing the speed of the car your father drove would make it impossible for you to have a proper time with the view. Your dad drank and drove like a maniac, hence your driving.

But you aim not to become the person your father once was.

"Okay, dad!"

Great timing. "I'm not your daddy, Eunbi!" you shoot back. "I'm just saying—"

"Nobody said you were! I said you were my dad! "

"What?"

"Nothing!" Eunbi tosses the empty can outside the window. The world is already polluted as it is. There won't be any harm in littering. "I said you were a shit driver!"

"No, I heard you!" Take a left. The soju bottles almost crash. " Dad and daddy are completely different things, Eunbi!"

"For your porn-addicted self, maybe!"

"I'm... I'm not addicted to porn!" you say indignantly. You've watched some before, but it never grew to an addiction. It's just an occasional source of dopamine on lonely nights. "Just... watch your wording, is all!"

Eunbi scoffs, smirking in disbelief. "Daddy issues?"

The car slows down, but you aren't even near the mall yet. Your shoulders tense. The mention of your father, or anything related to that, makes you feel ill.

Every day that passes, you try to convince yourself that your father only wanted the best for you. That was why he was like that. But you can't come up with a fitting justification, which probably should have made clear to you your father's heart wasn't pure at all.

What's left of it lies in a small urn back at your apartment. You didn't know why you bothered taking home an urn containing the memories of the man who hurt you, who did not look at you as if you were his own flesh and blood.

"Yeah, I think so," you mutter. You start up the car's pace again. No use trying to cover it up; the red is already fading.

Eunbi smiles tightly. "Same here. More on mommy issues, but dad... he was something else."

Laugh a little. "Tell me about it, huh?"

In a fucked up way, you and Eunbi are meant to be. Both of you are tired, both of you have (or had) horrible parents. They say that opposites attract, but love and fate can easily shoot that misconception down, because when you look at Eunbi, you can see your reflection, your self, looking back at you. The swollen eyes, tired face... they all scream you. You wonder if she knows that the two of you are bound to be together. And if she has no idea, how would you tell her?

You get off the car at the local mall. It's a lonely Friday night. Nobody is out here except the store owners and the like. Nothing and no one else.

You walk in, still in your 7-11 uniform: a white polo shirt and a green vest, complete with your name on a golden tag, and Eunbi in her green 1987 sweatshirt.

"Baskin Robbins?" you offer, spotting an ice cream stand just as you enter the building.

"I'd rather get some Sprite," says Eunbi. "But go ahead."

You purchase a birthday cake ice cream in a cup, pay the owner, and sit with Eunbi at one of the tables in front of it. She had bought her Sprite already. She's downing it like water, just like she did to the beer. The owner looks on with obvious concern.

"Are you a sodaholic or what?" you chuckle. You've never seen someone buy so many soda cans.

"It's better than continuing being a miserable drunkard," Eunbi explains. There's a cut on her lip from the sharp metal rim of the can, but if it bothers her, she doesn't show it.

Eunbi leans forward and licks her lower lip. "So."

That can't be a good sign. She looks suspicious. But you pretend that you're not anxious yourself about what would follow this conversation.

"What?"

"What's your deal?" she asks.

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't just buy me drinks on the house without a motive. What's going on here?"

She's smart, you'll give her that. But you have no doubt about her intelligence, although you've only met her an hour ago. There's the folks' tale going around that you know how and who your soulmate is, even if you've never met them before. Maybe the grandmas and grandpas were right.

But the death of the soulmate if they haven't met earlier was not just a mere myth. You've read cases about it. Lost a friend's friend's sister's friend to it. The string isn't exactly strong enough to hold for eternity.

But how can you tell her that? She might not even notice; her end of the string looks strong still, but the rest that connects you to her is already fatally weak. If you're apart for more time, it wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Because you look like you needed it," you say. That's the half of it anyway. "Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes."

Eunbi quirks a brow. "Nothing else?"

Bite your tongue and shake your head.

Eunbi juts out a bottom lip thoughtfully. "Huh." It hasn't occurred to her that it's possible for men to be like that with her. They go feral for her in the classrooms. It's nice to have someone who didn't want to do a nice gesture for her without her body playing a role in that for a change.

"You wanna know something, mister Nice Guy?" asks Eunbi.

"Enlighten me."

"That's the first time I ever felt safe with a guy at night. And yeah, I know about all that BS: 'not all men are the same.' But it's..." She squints emphatically. "Relieving, you know? You don't look like a pervert, you don't look like a fed. You don't look like you'd stuff my body down an acid pond. I feel safe with you."

"That's really flattering, Kwon Eunbi. Thank you."

"No problem," she says kindly. Her smile is a genuine bright lamp that fills the nighttime mall. She gestures to your cup of birthday cake ice cream. "Can I have some?"

And that's where it all began: a 7-11, a broken-down car, and a talk over ice cream and soda. That's how you made Kwon Eunbi yours.

Fast forward to a two years and five months. You're still working at a 7-11, a thing you wished would have changed. You still meet up with Eunbi, but this time, it's about something more.

The door bells jingle. She comes leaping in with dance in her skips. "Hey, hotshot," Eunbi greets you in the most unorthodox boyfriend-girlfriend manner.

Chuckle. The strings meet again. But this time, you don't worry about it. You have been with Eunbi for this long. Nothing can take her away from you. The string may be thinning by the day, but the two of you and wake up in the same bed everyday, and it seems like you've beaten all the odds. You're okay. She's fine. All is well.

Eunbi's kiss makes your cheek flush, as if the red on her lips infected the area. "Hi there yourself, Eun," you say. Yep, you're on a nickname-basis with each other. It grew after months and months of playful loving.

"I was thinking we go to the Han River tonight?" asks Eunbi hopefully. Her hands push down on the hard counter while she raises a lower leg to the back cutely. "Just you and me?"

"Why not?" You brush a kiss on her forehead. "After I finish this hour, we can go."

Eunbi smiles. "You know I love you, right?"

"Of course. I love you, too."

Looking back, you should have said that more. You really should have if you knew how the world loved to toy with you. It has to at least be expected, but you trust that everything would go well. It's been a long time since the string of red bothered you; why would you stress over it now?

Because of this:

One day, you'll die. You'll die alone. Whether from the fate of the string or natural cause, the only sure thing that will happen to you is death. One day, you'll have to leave her alone. If it's not you, then she will have to leave you.

But you forgot all about that. Right now, you've brought your mic and laptop to the side of the river, and you're both singing your hearts out.

Well, she is. Eunbi is an amazing singer. You found out about that when she volunteered to sing at the bar. She sang a self-composed song she sold to Woollim Entertainment, one of the leading mid-sized companies in Korea: Amigo.

"You seriously don't know how this song goes?" asks an offended Eunbi, glaring at you when you blank out halfway through the tune. "I thought you loved me!"

"Shut up and do the rap part!"

"I'm not Babysoul, you little shit!" Eunbi says, panickedly looking at the upcoming lyrics of the rap break. Rapping is not her forte.

"But you are my baby," you point out. "Now go do it, baby. Rap for me."

Eunbi cringes. However, she's laughing. "You're so ridiculo—"

Her words never find their way out.

Eunbi starts to choke. You immediately go over to her, trying to keep her steady. But she's already fallen to the ground, unable to get up. Her eyes look straight to the empty, dark blue sky, but never at your face floating above hers.

"B-baby—" she chokes out. Coughs and gags squeeze their way out from her chest. "I can't, I can't, I can't—"

"Did you swallow something, hon?" You're stuck. You don't know what to do. "Look at me, look at me, Eunbi. Please."

You hold her face in your hands and lift it up. But then you see the string that once connected the red thread from you to her. Your lifeline. It's snapped; blunt yarn-like strands disconnect your thread from hers. It can never be tied up again.

No.

Eunbi hasn't choked on anything. She's simply dying, just like how the fate of the string has foretold. It's her time to leave. You were let go, while she's taken in your place.

Somehow, she knows that, too. "I want to live," Eunbi confesses. Her eyes are two dark oceans of sadness. "Please, baby, I can't die yet. I want you here with me. Please."

You shake your head. "You're not going to die, Eunbi," you lie through your teeth. You lift up her black hair to your thigh so she can breathe properly. "I'll call the doctors, you want that? Just hold on for me, please."

"No, don't go!" sobs Eunbi, grabbing your thigh. She's crying loudly. She climbs onto your lap and hugs you with her shaking frame. She suddenly feels worryingly thin and light. "Don't leave me, don't leave me, please don't leave me."

"You're going to make me cry, pretty girl," you sob. "I can't call for help if you don't let me go."

"Please, please stay with me. I don't want to die. But everything..." Eunbi blinks twice. "Everything is so dark. I'm so alone."

That strikes a chord in you. Eunbi has talked and joked about death plenty of times, but now that she's on the brink of it, she doesn't want to give in. She can't give in.

You pull her closer and hug her hard. You begin to rock her like a doll as she grows more limp in your arms. "You're not alone. You have me, remember? I'm here. I'm going to take care of you. Remember when we first met, baby? You do? We went to that mall, right, and ate ice cream? You want to do that again?"

"Oh... oh yes, please," whispers Eunbi, nodding. But she's still not looking at you. Aside from that, her voice is incredibly weak. Her shoulders indicate the effort it takes for her to speak.

"Then you have to fight for me, Eunbi. You have to stay strong. You have to let me go so I can call someone who can help and we can do that."

She starts whimpering. "Why is this happening?" she sobs. "I just want to be okay. Why is it... why is it..."

Why is it like this?

Why does it have to be like this?

You don't tell her. Not at her last moment. On her last seconds left, you cradle and kiss her. You tell her of all the things she does and is that make you smile, of the funny moments the two of you shared in this lifetime. You tell her that if there is a next life, you'll be there with her. It wouldn't matter if you were a worm and she was the bird; you'll find a way to make it work. And oh, Eunbi, I love you so, you tell her, from the moment I first saw you. From the moment you sassed and insulted me, I knew we were meant to be. You're forever mine.

But you're wrong. The breath leaves her lips. Her soul has left. She's in another world now, where she's no longer yours.

It's over.

Deep dive #2: Jessica Biel’s relationships timeline and all the interconnections

| Adam LaVorgna | Chris Evans | Justin Timberlake |

Disclaimer: This is done for fun. No hate, no drama, just some Hollyweirdness. It’s not a detailed timeline but more like key moments with some fun or surprising connections and anecdotes (to me at least). It’s just not possible to do one boyfriend timeline without mentionning another one. No famous people won’t be mentionned, neither most tabloids speculations. People already twist things, so it can’t be worse (right?). And please don’t judge my english.

Spring 1997: During the interview with All-Stars Magazine, 15 years old JessicaBiel shared that she only had two "sort of" boyfriends, both of whom were 17.

All-stars: In real life, do you ever date older guys? Jessica: I don’t really date very many people. I’ve had two boyfriends kind of! Both of them have been 17, so they’re usually older.

Spring 1998: 16 years old Jessica Biel is filming her second movie “I’ll be Home for Christmas” with Jonathan Taylor Thomas in Alberta and Vancouver, Canada. She met Adam LaVorgna who play the bad boy Eddie, they start dating while filming the movie. Even thought Adam is not very well known, he has been acting since he is 10. Nsync’s christmas song was used during the end credit of the movie. FYI The movie is available on Disney+.

"I knew when I first met [Jessica] there was something there. We did a movie together called I'll Be Home for Christmas. As soon as I saw her, I thought I'm definitely going to date this girl. There's no way she's getting away from me. It'll be three years in April." - Teen Magazine, March 2001

youtube

April 1, 1999: On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jessica said that Adam Lavorgna was her first real boyfriend. She said he is very smart and go to Avon Old Farms high school in Connecticut.

“First guy named Adam, oh oh trouble trouble” - Jay Leno

youtube

August 12, 1999: Jessica Biel and Adam Lavorgna did their first red carpet together at Barry Watson’s movie premiere "Teaching Mrs.Tingle". From what I have seen, it was Adam’s first red carpet of his career.

Fall 1999: 7th Heaven producers were looking for an actor to play Jessica’s character Mary Camden boyfriend and asked her if she had any suggestion. She suggested her then boyfriend Adam. His first appearance as Robbie Palmer in 7th Heaven was in season 4, Episode 10 aired on November 29, 1999. When the producers first called his team, they refused it without talking to Adam. He had to call them to tell them to accept it. He didn’t care for the show but just wanted to be with Jessica and make easy money. Adam shared that story on the Worst Ever Podcast in 2019.

January 2000: Lance Bass from Nsync guest-starred in 7th Heaven as Rick Palmer (Adam LaVorgna character’s brother). He appeared in season 4 episode 13 that aired on January 30, 2000.

I have a friend who worked for a publicist for some of the actors on The WB, such as [”7th Heaven” star] Beverley Mitchell and the people from ”Popular.” So I was having dinner with her and Beverley, and Beverley was talking about how she wanted a boyfriend this season, and I said, ”I’ll do it!” and she was like, ”Okay!” Source: Entertainment Weekly, January 2000

So of course while filming that episode Jessica was asked by Enews about Nsync. She said she knew about them but don’t own any of their CDs and they shared their differents experiences.

“Hum but I mean cool, I guess” - Jessica Biel about NSYNC

youtube

And also Justin Timberlakeand the Nsync guys watching that 7th Heaven episode during a MTV interview.

March 2000: Jessica did the scandalous Gear Magazine photoshoot. (She quickly regretted doing that photoshoot and shared how horrible the experience was). Adam was not happy about it. There were some tensions between them while she was spending time with the interviewer.

During the time I spent with her, the Boyfriend (whom she asks not to name) is constant presence, though he’s more than 3,000 miles away in Boston. What he thinks and how he’ll react take up a large portion of Jesse’s thoughts. He’s nervous at her being perceived as sex idol, and having a writer from men’s magazine spend several days with her is not helping. Over the course of those days, the phone keeps ringing - the Boyfriend - and it’s stressing her. [...] Jesse and I are supposed to hook up the first night I'm in L.A., and I wait for the phone to ring at my hotel room. It never does. [...] The next morning, we talk on the phone. It turns out Jesse had a big fight with the Boyfriend on the phone, and, no longer able to deal, she went to her friend's house and spent the night. And her cell batteries died because she'd been talking to him so long, and I'd given her my wrong cell number and…" Really, I wasn't trying to blow you off. Everything went wrong last night. Please don't think that I'm just some Hollywood jerk," she pleads. [...] She fields another call from her beau. It's an agitated conversation, and when she hangs up the air is very still. Jesse has a tendency to become quite serious - she says she thinks way too much and it's suddenly uncomfortable between us. He told her he's unhappy with the situation and doesn't want to talk to her until the writer is gone.The phone rings again. It's the Boyfriend - he's being a jerk, he tells her. Go ahead and have a great interview.Jesse smiles and the tension is gone. "That's so fucking cool of him." Gear Magazine, March 2000

Summer 2000: When it was time for Jessica to leave the show to attend college on the East Coast with Adam (Jessica at Tufts University and Adam at Boston College), the producers of 7th Heaven contacted Adam and offered him a regular role for Season 5. Adam agreed, dropped out of college to be in Los Angeles for filming, while Jessica, who needed a break, still went to college in Massachusetts.

With hindsight, Adam regretted accepting the offer because now he feels like the producers asked him to comeback for season 5 to hit back at Jessica for leaving the show. Jessica was still working on the show during her school break, only appeared in few episodes and her scenes were very brief. Contrary to what was said in the medias, Jessica was never fired from the show. Aaron Spelling made it clear she still had 2 years left in her contract. They destroyed her character thought.

2000(?): Jessica Biel, Adam LaVorgna, Chris Evans and a group of friends attend a party all together!!

April 2001: Jessica Biel and Adam LaVorgna did a photoshoot together for Movieline Magazine. They denied dating.

August 12, 2001: Jessica Biel and Adam LaVorgna did their last red carpet together at The Teen Choice Awards. 7th Heaven won best drama award that day. Adam missed the moment they went on stage, and Barry asked where is he?

October 5, 2001: The Enquirer is reporting that Adam LaVorgna went to Promises rehab in Malibu for cocaine and Vicodin addiction.

An insider told the taboid, "The cocaine and pills drastically changed his demeanor." After the two talked him into rehab, he appears greatful as the friend added, "Right now he's thanking God for Jessica and the show's producers. They saved his livelihood - and his life." Source: Jessica Biel Fansite

Adam revealed in the Worst Ever Podcast in 2019, he started drinking at 10/11yo and had Opioid addiction (and then maybe doing heroin, I didn’t understand exactly what he said). He went to rehab multiple times and the first two times were paid by 7th Heaven producer, Aaron Spelling.

In the interviews with Elle Magazine and Cosmopolitan in 2005, Jessica mentioned, without explicitly stating his name, that the relationship was not healthy. Also mentionned in the London (2005) movie behind the scene.

Everybody’s gone throught a relationship that’s not healthy for you. When I was 16, I cried my eyes out to Elvis’ “Cant’ Help Falling in Love” because I felt so in love that my heart was breaking apart. Elle Magazine, 2005

He was lying to me and accusing me of cheating—but then I realized he was the one cheating. He was putting it on me and making me feel like shit... But then three years later, I was still with him. And then it finally just smacked me in the face and I was like I’m done. I’m over it. Cosmopolitan, 2005

They were not dating yet when he did the movie.

Jessica was back full time to L.A after one year at Tufts University. She did another semester later in 2002.

Jessica is still under her 7th Heaven contract and is working daily with Adam LaVorgna on season 6. 7th Heaven showrunner who was still holding grudge against her, made Mary desperate to win Robbie back while he keep rejecting her.

Before writing this post, I didn’t realize that it seems like Jessica and Adam never lived in the same state until they broke up.

Somehow Adam and Chris built a strong friendship for over 20 years. Adam was Chris plus-one at the 2016 Golden Globes. 💁‍♀️

November 11, 2002: The last 7th Heaven episode starring Adam aired, season 7 episode 8. There were no official explanation of why Adam left, neither off screen nor on screen at that time.

Neither Jessica, nor the cast ever mentionned his addiction.

Jessica’s initial contract being over after season 6, only apperared in 5 out of 22 episodes of season 7. They had only 2 episodes in common.

When I met Jess, it was undeniable how beautiful she is. We were at a surprise party in Hollywood at a speakeasy kind of a bar, a private club, and we were standing around in a group of people. I made some sort of sarcastic comment, really dry. Nobody got it except her. She laughed, and I noticed, all of a sudden, and in the way where you wonder if a person’s like you, if they have a very dry, dark sense of humor, too. We talked that night. The DJ played “Lucky Star,” and we danced. And then she was gone. I didn’t ask for her number. It wasn’t the time. From Justin Timberlake book, Hindsight

My first show for the FutureSex/LoveSounds tour was in San Diego. A friend who also knew Jess was going to come to the show, and she asked me, “What if I was to bring a certain somebody?” I said, “I could be into that.” Patience may not be my strong suit but, apparently, playing coy is. My friend brought her to the show. They were with a whole crew of girls, and they all came into the dressing room and hung out. After the show, they were going to go back to LA, and I was going on to Anaheim. I asked them if they wanted to come with me. “I’ll give you a ride, you can come on my bus. If you want …” And they did. Jess and I talked the whole way up, joking around. Before she got off the tour bus, I said, “Can I have your number?” That was when we started talking on the phone. We didn’t date at first. For about two weeks, we talked on the phone, because I was on tour.

Then the Golden Globes came up, and that’s when we planned on seeing each other. From that moment on, we started dating. We were both still seeing other people, keeping « ourselves safe from getting hurt, from really putting ourselves out there. It took a bit for both of us to admit to ourselves that we were really, really that into each other.

Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz, who announced last week that they’d split up, got into a heated argument at Prince’s Golden Globes afterparty early Tuesday morning. The exes, who’d chatted politely during the awards ceremony and even shared laughs at InStyle’s annual afterparty, hit the rough patch in their officially amicable breakup at a wee-hours bash hosted by the singer at the Beverly Wilshire hotel. According to witnesses, Timberlake was chatting with actress Jessica Biel when Diaz approached. Biel stepped away, and the former couple had a serious exchange. Diaz walked away, Timberlake followed, and the two were soon spotted engaged in an intense 40-minute face-off in a side room. Diaz reemerged looking composed, but not before Timberlake held his head in his hands and, says a witness, “slammed his fist (down) into a cabinet.” Source: People.com

The pair was continuing the touchy-feely flirtation begun earlier that night at the Creative Artists Agency-sponsored bash at Sunset Towers. And his ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz couldn’t help but stare. “Cameron was across the room giving them the evil eye,” says a party source. “It was like high school.” “All of a sudden she just lost it,” says one of the many witnesses to the tantrum of Diaz. “She came up and started yelling at Jessica.” According to a witness, Biel, 24, stepped away, leaving Diaz, 34, to unleash her fury on Timberlake, 25, who moved with her into a hallway. Says a guest, “First she started saying all these nasty things to him about Jessica like, ‘What is she? Your new f—king girlfriend? Look at her!’ And then she insinuated things about other guys that Jessica has been with.” The tirade went on for 45 minutes, until Barrymore finally intervened. Source: US weekly

We were going to different cities, having a ball, with room service and pay-per-view and great dinners. And Scrabble. We’ve had a lot of unforgettable times. From Justin Timberlake book, Hindsight

It’s the most precious thing that I have in my life, and I care about it so much that I don’t care about what anyone says or thinks.

I love fanmixes (or FSTs, as we used to call them when I was your age.) Two things stop me from enjoying too many of them:

1. I am a bitter old shrew with the musical tastes of an old hippie (this is a personal problem)

2. Slow, angsty, deep and meaningful songs are really great lyrically… but boy do they drag the mood down.

So when I decided to put a mix together for Ghost Trick, somewhere on my Top 5 Favorite Games of All Time, I knew I wanted to keep the upbeat, cheerful, funky mood of the game in mind when I chose my tracks.

So here you have it. A Ghost Trick fanmix made entirely out of upbeat, cheerful, funky, groovy, dance-y tunes that’ll keep you in a good mood even when I subtly hint at depressing, gigantic spoilers.

(UPDATED - because 8Tracks, the original source, is dead dead dead, and Spotify works better anyway.)

I’m sorry guys, but the person, who published the Skylar Astin’s interview on the Tumblr, shows it in wrong paragraphs’ order. I guess it’s a simple edit’s mistake, but It changes the vibe of the article. Here is the oryginal one:

https://www.thewrap.com/skylar-astin-trollstopia-branch-justin-timberlake-trolls-role/

Btw, what I think Astin said, is that he didn’t see a sexual tention in trolls universe. It’s a show for kids. Well, it doesn’t mean kids don’t deserve a love plot, but it don’t include some... more mature tention xD I have to agree, I don’t see trolls as a series with many ships and complicated, deep love stories.

And if you want a bit more of Skylar talking about Trolls, there is an interview about Branch and Cloud Guy:

Please, guys, the gossips are so easy to make. Please, always check the sources

What are some of your favorite movies (old or new)? I know I already know some of them, do you have other favorite movie ships (I'm pretty sure I already know some of those too, such as Jack/Rose, Jake/Neytiri, and probably Will/Elizabeth)?

While I do like Avatar, I've only seen it a few times. I don’t know if it’s one of my favorite movies--and that Jake and Netyri are a favorite couple of mine--but I do like both.

You’re absolutely right about PotC and Willabeth and Titanic and Jack/Rose. I also ship Jack and Angelica, Henry and Carina, and Philip and Syrena in that franchise.

But some others are Inception. I like Arthur/Ariadne from that movie a lot. And Cobb and Mal.

...And people will probably hate me for this--because I guess people have issues with this movie--but I do love the Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and I definitely ship Daredevil/Matt and Elektra there (and in general).

I’ve always loved the The Other Boleyn Girl movie, but I don’t ship anyone in it.

I’ve also always really liked Tristan and Isolde, and ship them.

The Princess Bride: Wesley and Buttercup.

Remember Me: Tyler and Ally

This is actually a mini-series, but I sort of see it as a movie because it together is as long as one: Syfy Alice (a sort of sequel to Alice in Wonderland). And Hatter and Alice in this are actually one of my OTPs.

I like “In Time” with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. And I shipped the couple in that.

I like Sucker Punch a lot, despite its flaws.

The Red Riding Hood movie with Amanda Seyfried is also good. And I shipped the two in that.

I really do like the broken up couple in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just recently saw that movie.

Oh! Happy Death Day is some of my favorite movies. And I love love LOVE Tree and Carter!

Phantom of the Opera is definitely one of my favorite movies (the musical). But moreso the 25th recording at the Royal Albert Hall at this point, than the movie musical. Though there are some things about the movie musical that I still love. Like Raoul. Patrick Wilson is the best Raoul ever. And no, I don’t take criticism. And I’m a rare Raoul and Christine shipper. But I do appreciate the Phantom and Christine relationship, of course, as that’s what makes the story what it is. But do I think she should have ended up with him after all the crap he did to her? Hell, no! She made the right choice in leaving--after giving the Phantom much more kindness than he rightfully deserved from her, to be honest--and being with Raoul. And I will die on this hill.

I recently watched Source Code and liked that movie and couple.

I like Limitless. And while it probably is one of my favorite movies, it’s at the bottom of my list. And I didn’t ship anything in it (I don’t even think there are ships? I forget. I’ve only seen the movie once). But I did see some of the TV show, and shipped the new guy who took the drug with the police officer gal he was working with.

I like most of the Disney and Pixar movies, and ship the main couples there. But my favorite (and least when I want something lighter than, say, Hunchback, which I also love) is probably The Little Mermaid. And I will defend Ariel until the day I die. And she and Eric are probably my favorite animated Disney couple. Edit: I also really enjoy Atlantis and Milo and Kida, and so many more. I also adore Fox’s Anastasia and Anya and Dimitri. And The Swan Princess and Derek and Odette. Oh! And Cale and Akima in Titan A.E.

I have a lot of love for Disney’s Enchanted these days, too. I’ve always loved that movie. But it was my grandma’s favorite movie. And since she’s passed, I guess I like to rewatch it and feel close to her. And I ship Robert and Giselle and Edward and Nancy, of course.

...And I feel like I’m forgetting something that I recently watched and loved, maybe.

I do love The Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, as discussed, and need to watch The Dark Knight rises already. Oh. And I ship Bruce and Rachel.

The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies also mean a lot to me, since Spider-Man 2 was the first PG-13 and action movie I ever saw, and it changed my life.

When in Rome with Kristen Bell and Just My Luck with Lindsay Lohan are probably the only romantic comedies I’ll ever like (though I don’t care about the ships in them that much. Though the latter’s one was cute). But I don’t like them that much.

I feel like I should include Les Misérables (the movie musical) on here, even though I feel it’s somewhat cheating to include musicals--I usually separate those into a musical category--but since I got into Phantom through the movie, I suppose I’ll break the rule this time.

I also like some Disney Channel Original Movies and some of the ships there. Troy and Gabriella from High School Musial being the most obvious choice. But tbh, that’s probably its own list.

Edit: I also, for the most part, don’t include books that have been turned into movies or TV shows in a favorite movies or TV shows list. Because while some of them are... I feel like that’s somewhat cheating, since my love for those films somewhat comes from their source material. So if you’re asking me what I love based on just what a movie itself presents with nothing else tied into that, this is my list.

Edit 2: Oh. And Frozen (and Frozen II with it, I guess, even though that movie has its ISSUES. Even though I still love it). And Anna and Kristoff, because I’m like a lot of the world in this way. I just... like Frozen. I’m not even entirely sure why. Elsa. I always have, and I probably always will.

Edit 3: The Clue movie.

Edit 4: And It’s a Wonderful Life, of course!

Edit 5: And I like Tangled and Eugene/Rapunzel a lot.

The "Now You See Me" movies and the ships there.

Disturbia with Shia LaBeouf. And I ship the main ship, I guess.

The new(ish) live-action Disney Cinderella: Ella and Kit

And while I don't care about the story for Transformers at all--or those movies that much--I did ship Sam and Mikaela.

Oh! National Treasure! Ben and Abigail! That’s one of my favorites. I can’t believe I forgot them!

Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and the couples there

Edit: Oh, and Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favorite movies! Shame on me for forgetting it!

#I totally cheated with phantom on this. as it's a musical and even before that a novel that I love #I mean les mis is too but I haven't read that yet #I love the phantom novel. I love the musical. I love the movie musical. I even love other adaptations #just... phantom is one of my all-time favorite stories and always will be #there are anime movies too. but I usually list them in a favorite animes list #same thing with video game movies #the peanuts movie is also super cute #and a cinderella story with Hilary duff is fun. I was on a kick once where I watched a lot of Hilary's movies and liked them #nerve was okay #oh and eagle eye #tron legacy

dayashollandd said:i think it was like a euphoria hang out bc barbie and rowan were also there but without maude and Sydney bc they were presenting the Emmy and Alexa is busy

Anon plsSorry if it seems like I keep asking stupid questions, but what’s the significance about Tom Honduras?

thatssonano said:So who do we listen to? The icon Tom Honduras or Jacob?

lunat48 submitted:Hi Tout,First, I want to say thank you for your blog and dedication to Tomdaya fandom. Your humor really cracked me up and made our ship so much fun! I know this is really hard time for us to accept the truth that our beloved couple is not together anymore but we still can keep our hope up for the future because who knows what may hold for tomdaya. Honestly I am not a big fan of Tom and Z; I am an Avengers fan and Spider-Man fan but I just knew of this ship two months ago. Before that I shipped other couple who even got married but then they got divorced and nobody knows the reason of their divorce so with tomdaya break up I feel much easier. I did some research on Tom and Z and I feel like they are really more mature than celebrities of their ages. Both of them have very high EQ and are qqtalent, very professional and wise about their work and private life. To be honest, I was a little bit surprised that Z choose to move on too early with a guy with not-so-good history given her past relationship with her ex. At first, I thought maybe he was like a little brother to her because she always said that the Euphoria cast is like a family but I guess we know that may be not right anymore. For Tom I think it is clearer since she is his childhood friend. I mean I am not here to judge their relationship but I am not a fan of the new couples either. Well now Tom and Z may be with people of their types: Tom is with a blonde and Z is with a tall ass bad boy. But I hope they someday realize that they are meant for each other like the way Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel or Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis did find each other.

delightfulfunbarbarian said:Why is the world so cruel they release the pj scenes now that we know they're over over this sucks I'm hurt

Anon please I just can’t believe she has a thing with the tall guy, maybe a hookup, but Z doesn’t seems like a hookup girl, and obviously we don’t know when they broke up but I think it’s too soon, I mean she was with Tom for 3 years or so

So Z liked the posts about the DVD from 3 actors of Spiderman, if Tom post it the same and she wont like it.... 😭

I think it is very messy that J and Cari are still following each other on his main and his Finsta. However, he doesn’t follow Z on his Finsta. There is no professional connection between him and his ex so if he is starting something with Z, he should have made the unfollows already. Hopefully he is not playing them both

wnjb submitted:Why we shouldn’t jump overboard just yet This was keeping me up at night so- Why we shouldn’t jump overboard just yet:

a vacation and a movie (circumstantial evidence) doesn’t cancel out years of tomdaya physical evidence (necklaces, clothes, pictures of him staying at her house)

Tom may have been invited but avoided the vacation because he was a) preparing for cherry and b) trying to stay out of the public view after all the negative press

Vacations and movies are things friends do together

Zendaya and yta may have been told to spend time together in preparation for the relationship between their season 2 euphoria characters

Most Importantly: Tomdaya evidence has been scarce recently because of distance, just wait until they are both in LA (only then will the lack of evidence mean something)

1. What was a Euphoria hangout? The movie date? What are your sources for Barbie and Rowan being there too?

2. Tom Honduras is a crack conspiracy theory.

3. Tom Honduras!

4. Regarding their “new relationships,” imo, there isn’t enough evidence to convict them of that, so I will remain neutral. There are dozens of theories, and tbh, if they’re not with each other, I don’t care. I’m not interested in O or JE. My only interest in those two was finding out if Tomdaya is now Nodaya. So for now, I’ll continue to hope that one day Tomdaya will be one of THOSE couples. :)

5. We’ll always have PJ!

6. I’m baffled!

7. It’s a new day

9. I’m happy their friendship is still intact! I hope they can hang out as “very very good friends” while he’s in LA!

#Nodaya

Allegations of cultural appropriation are divisive-and stem from prejudice, instead of opposing it

Adele caused controversy for being “dressed in a Jamaican bikini top, yellow feathers and tie-dye leggings, with her hair in Bantu knots- a popular African hairstyle, also known as ‘chiney bumps’ in Jamaica.”

Justin Timberlake is controversial with some (as was noted in a Cosmopolitan article-a very mainstream, far reaching magazine!) for wearing cornrows, bandanas, and large diamond earrings. Some think it’s cultural appropriation-I guys we’re allowed to ban white guys from wearing certain things, huh?

In 2017 a UN committee met after being prompted by indigenous groups in order to discuss making cultural appropriation illegal (well, I guess let’s say goodbye to freedom of expression)! It was not successful.

I used to think that borrowing the another of another person or group was always a compliment!

Exactly why should an idea, a fashion, a way of talking, a way of acting, a custom, only belong to one group? If it’s something that’s a good idea, why not use it? Isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I thought that melting pots were a great thing-didn’t our nation pride itself on being the largest melting pot in history?

By the way, Elvis Presley is credited by historians for helping bridge a black-white divide in music by dancing in singing in a lot of ways that African-Americans back then did in a way other musicians weren’t willing to. I wonder if it was seen as a compliment back then-I bet it was. Nowadays, some take it as an insult.

When we see people as our brothers and sisters then we want to share with and even sometimes imitate them instead of-well, frankly, distancing ourselves by saying we should not do the things they do, when we believe those things pertain to us and not them.

Quoting from an article: “But, says the EverydayFeminism website, that’s not the whole story. Unlike cultural exchange, in which there is a mutual interchange, appropriation refers to a ‘particular power dynamic in which members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group’.” (Source: https://www.theweek.co.uk/cultural-appropriation?amp)

This is group-identity politics at work. There is lack of a sense of personal accountability too, and a victim mentality as well. Why am I, if I have no responsibility for what either my ancestors, or, in modern day, people of my race, country, culture, or whatever other sociological group it might be, have done, restricted in my choices for something I have no responsibility for personally? Why am I labeled into a group instead of being allowed to be an individual?

As for the members of a dominant culture taking elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group, why would that be a bad thing? So be it if one group was the traditionally-or even currently- dominant group-why should anyone from that group have less right to imitate another culture because of a group status? I’m not personally responsible for what my ancestors-or certain people from my culture-have done. In fact, these things can help alleviate these tensions that exist, since we usually only imitate things we respect.

These accusations of cultural appropriation divide people into groups. Even worse, they are actually rooted in something sinister-yes I think so. It’s seeing something as belonging to another group instead of your own. Frankly, sadly, it comes from our unconscious prejudice of seeing ourselves as either different from or even “too good” to follow something another group does. Remember that this is deep unconscious thinking that is at play-we are not aware this is why we think that way but it is.

Also at play is our assumption that people are often enough doing this to mock or show ignorance of another culture. Yes people can use cultural appreciation to mock or ridicule another culture but that’s rare-usually we try to present a good public image in the way we act and dress, and are rarely going to mock another culture or act or dress in poor taste. So then, we have a fear that when people culturally appropriate items from other cultures. Either way, we must try to see the world less cynically.

In fact it shows a lack of trust. A lack of trust that someone engaging in culture borrowing likely has good intentions and can be trusted to do culture borrowing appropriately. When we have faith in people, we allow them do things freely without making automatic associations about the appropriateness of what they’re doing-or even assumptions about their intentions. This all strongly hints at a sense of unforgiven historical or current grievances of groups against classes of people who have downtrodden them. We cannot project what some people have done onto what all people of that group have done-even if it was based on discrimination based on group characteristics (race, nationality, gender, etc). This creates a victim mindset, instead of building trust and perseverance in horrible circumstances.

A good example of this is the grievance certain members of the black community can carry against white people. We saw this when Kanye West claimed that “Bush doesn’t care about black people” was the reason for the government’s lack of action on Hurricane Katrina. We see this in the #stopwhitepeople movement. We see this in frequent claims of “white privilege”-while true that it exists, repeating it too often creates a sense of grievance. I saw this personally in NYC, when the announcer at a rally against high rent and property management told us that the high rent was “an attack on black and brown”, as it was not a coincidence that the people hurt by this were disproportionately black and brown. (No, it’s not, because high rent affects everyone, and those groups are not being targeted by anyone. Economic means, not race, is the key issue).

The way to end racism and prejudice is to stop speaking about things in terms of belonging to races and groups. The more people hear an idea the more they think in terms of it.

victoria rose santamaria ♫ music mix

“she was beautiful but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful; something to be admired from a distance, not up close“

What Goes Around Comes Around- Justin Timberlake

“is this the way it’s really going down? is this how you say goodbye? should’ve known better when you came around, that you were gonna make me cry.”

this song describes tori’s recent dealings with having to face the repercussions of her actions from before she left town, most specifically with what happened with @milligcn. she’s quickly learning that there’s no escaping her bad karma, and that only the truth can truly set you free.

Seven English Girls - Ron Pope

“I’d paint a picture of my mother but I can’t recall her face, she’s even far away at midnight and her laughter haunts my dreams–”

through her vivacious exterior tori struggles with her mother’s abandonment and is to this day trying to find ways to cope with the fact that she doesn’t seem to be coming back. these feelings also inevitably foster a little resentment for her dad and stepfather.

Out Tonight - RENT

“when I get a wink from the doorman, do you know how lucky you’ll be? that you’re on the line with the feline of Avenue B–”

party girl tori was a hurricane, knowing all the ins and outs of upper toronto’s party scene. it was a fast life, but once she put her four-inch manolos to pavement heaven help the person that tried to stand in her way.

Glamorous - Fergie

“flying first class up in the sky, popping champagne livin’ the life, in the fast lane”

being the heiress to a successful fashion editorial has allowed tori to live a very charmed life from birth. but if being born into money teaches you anything, it’s that there are some things it just can’t buy.

Defying Gravity - Wicked

“i’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep. it’s time to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap”

tori is one to act on impulse, always putting her at odds with her high society family members who have had her life mapped out since birth. and though she enjoys the luxuries that being wealthy affords her, she can’t help but try to break their molds and be free to make her own decisions

New Perspective - Panic! At The Disco

“i wanna live life from a new perspective. you come along because i love your face, and i’ll admire your expensive taste-”

tori and @mrzigmundnovak‘s relationship has been a sort of rollercoaster from the start, the difference in their social classes managing to make itself a factor more than once. still, she believes zig, at his core, is a good guy and is determined to show him not everyone from her world is so terrible.

Never Be The Same- Camila Cabello

“one hit of you, i know i’ll never, ever, be the same”

tori and @jonaahhaaks could’ve never imagined the night of their random house party hook up how it would change their lives forever.

Purpose - Justin Bieber

‘and you’ve blessed me with the best gift that I’ve ever known, you give me purpose”

before gabriella, tori was headed down a self-destructive path. but when she learned that she was going to be having a baby, someone that would need her and depend on her completely, it gave her the motivation to clean up her act and be an all around better person

White Flag - Dido

“i promise i’m not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were…”

“i know i left too much mess and destruction to come back again. and i cause nothing but trouble, i understand if you can’t talk to me again. and if you live by the rules of it’s over then i’m sure that makes sense. but i will go down with this ship–”

even though she was the source of the problems in their relationship, tori has come to find that she’s still soft for @andrcwtorrcs. to her he’ll always be her first boyfriend, the person that saw the best in her even when she was at her worst. and upon her return to toronto one of the things at the top of her to-do list was to make things right.

Drops of Jupter- Train

“can you imagine your love, pride, deep fried chicken, your best friend always sticking up for you. even when i know you’re wrong–”

tori has always been popular amongst her peers, but true friends have always been few and far between. however, she’s found that no matter how far she may roam @mcneybcgs & @prvncessfi are always by her side no matter what.

Look After You - The Fray

“so few come and don’t go. will you, won’t you be the one i’ll always know? when i’m losing my control, the city spins around, you’re the only one who knows you slow it down”

tori and @mxllxgxn‘s relationship has been complicated by many things, her cheating on her ex with him, her rift with his brother, and especially their conjoined carelessness that led to a girl’s assault at a party. now that she’s changed tori can’t help but feel like owen enables a side of her that she’s trying to escape, but she also knows deep down that he’s one of the only people that really gets her.

Good Girls Go Bad - Cobra Starship

“i know your type, you’re daddy’s little girl. just take a bite let me shake up your world”

due to their parents running in the same high profile circles, @thelucasbaker and tori go way back. so far in fact, that he’s the one she was with when she took her first body shot, and showed her how crush up adderall and put it in her oj on the day of a test. and though claims to see through his methods of persuasion, he somehow always manages to goat her on.

Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” snags #4 spot on most played songs of the 2010s

You thought we were done with the ‘Top’ lists for the last decade? Think again. BBC Radio 2 just counted down their top 40 most-played songs of the last decade and we bet you can guess at least a few of them with your eyes closed (metaphorically, of course).

“The top 40 most-played songs are the sounds that radio producers and broadcasters have consistently played throughout the last decade and will evoke many memories for all of us,” said Peter Leathem, boss of the music licensing company which compiled the chart.

Six of the songs on the list actually remained from the ’90s including Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn.” But coming in at #4 is our own electronic darlings Daft Punk with their massive hit, “Get Lucky.”

“Get Lucky” finds itself in good company, sandwiched between Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera, “Moves Like Jagger” at #3 and Justin Timberlake, “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” at #5.

See the top 10 below.

Top 10 most played songs of the 2010s

1. Pharrell Williams, ‘Happy’ 2. Adele, ‘Rolling In The Deep’ 3. Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera, ‘Moves Like Jagger’ 4. Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rogers, ‘Get Lucky’ 5. Justin Timberlake, ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling!’ 6. Black Eyed Peas, ‘I Got A Feeling’ 7. Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars, ‘Uptown Funk’ 8. OneRepublic, ‘Counting Stars’ 9. CeeLo Green, ‘Forget You’ 10. Kings of Leon, ‘Sex On Fire’

CSI Oscars: Decoding What Happened During the Great Best Picture Gaffe of 2017

In what will inevitably go down in one of — no, the — craziest moment in Oscar history, presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced the wrong winner for Best Picture at the Academy Awards late Sunday night. They called La La Land. That film’s team came up on stage and began making speeches. Then, in a moment of mayhem and confusion, La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz told the world that there was a mistake. Moonlight was the real winner.

That much we know. But questions abound, even after Beatty stepped up to the microphone to insist he was given the wrong envelope, one for Best Actress that Emma Stone won moments before, and Jimmy “The Fixer” Kimmel closed the show by saying, “I blame Steve Harvey for this.”

If the card read “Emma Stone,” how come neither Beatty nor Dunaway realized at the time that they had the wrong envelope? And why did Stone say during her post-event press room interview that she was in possession of her envelope while they announced Best Picture? Is someone lying? Were there two cards? And how did the presented wind up with the wrong card?

We pieced together the puzzle in real time to attempt to explain what the heck happened.

12:09 a.m. ET: La La Land announced as Best Picture.

So there you have it. No one was lying. There were two envelopes. (This was confirmed to Yahoo Movies by a source at Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the Academy’s longtime accounting firm charged with tallying the votes and keeping the results under lock and key.) Beatty was accidentally given the extra Best Actress envelope, which confused him and Dunaway, but which they read anyway. When the correct Best Picture envelope was handed to Horowitz and the La La Land team, he opened it, discovered the mistake, then called the Moonlight crew to the stage.

As for why Warren Beatty still read that envelope, when he was clearly confused when he tore open the envelope and the card said, “Emma Stone?” We’ll let Jimmy Kimmel explain:

Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl halftime show is creating tons of rumors and conspiracy theories

Prince holograms, Janet Jackson returning and more.

The Super Bowl 52 halftime show has quickly become the most rumor-filled, conspiracy-laden performance of the modern era. Justin Timberlake’s return to the stage, paired with prior controversy and the death of a musical icon, have spawned a host of theories about what might happen during halftime.

It’s not uncommon for details of the show to leak ahead of time, but we’re already in full-on denial mode about some of the alleged details of what could happen. Take these with a grain of salt, because anything could happen.

There will be a hologram of Prince — DENIED

TMZ reported on Saturday that sources who saw the show’s rehearsal said a hologram of Prince would be projected on the stage, much like Snoop Dogg’s performance at Coachella in 2012, during which a Tupac hologram made an appearance.

An appearance by holographic Prince would be an ode to the musician’s legacy, as well as a tip of the hat to Minneapolis, where the game is being played. A Minnesota-native, and die-hard Vikings fan, Prince’s memory will live on — but not be honored through a hologram. On Saturday night long-time Prince associate and friend Sheila E denied the report:

Family, I spoke w/Justin 2nite and he shared heartfelt words of respect for Prince & the Purple fans. I look 4wrd 2 seeing what I’m sure is going 2 be a spectacular halftime show. There is no hologram. pic.twitter.com/mhVXBfBa1B

Janet Jackson will team up with Timberlake again — DENIED

This was a fun one. The idea is that Jackson and Timberlake would be able to make good on the 2004 Super Bowl performance in which Janet had a “wardrobe malfunction.”

Sadly, there won’t be a reunion and redemption performance for the pair.

She did sign her name in a purple font tho ... [thinking face emoji].

*NSYNC will reunite — DENIED

It’s totally understandable why this would be a likely scenario. Almost every Super Bowl halftime show has a guest artist turn up, and in lieu of Janet Jackson a shock *NSYNC reunion and performance makes total sense. Alas, everyone is denying this one as well.

Timberlake has said it’s not going to happen. Joey Fatone has said it’s not happening. Lance Bass said it’s not happening:

#NewHairDontCare Before and after. I went from frosted Smurf to Violet Beauregarde. PS- it’s NOT for Super Bowl. I ain’t there.

A post shared by Lance Bass (@lancebass) on Feb 2, 2018 at 1:46pm PST

That purple hair tho .... [thinking face emoji].

Britney Spears will make an appearance — NO DENIAL

This is the one possibility that’s really flying under the radar right now because Janet Jackson is getting so much attention. Spears and Timberlake have an obvious history from their time with Disney and teenage sweethearts, and she makes a ton of sense to be the guest star the show needs.

There are already tight betting lines on Spears making an appearance, which lends credence to the idea that Las Vegas is at least open to the possibility — and it would be the fun nostalgia bomb the show current is lacking.

Finally, consider this: The Super Bowl halftime show is sponsored and produced by Pepsi. Guess who they used in their Super Bowl ad? Yup.

Some things are just timeless Thank you for letting me be apart of your story @Pepsi! Watch the #SBLII commercial here: https://t.co/ozVKLiidH8 pic.twitter.com/Vxr1jjSHep

25 Years Of Super Bowl Halftime Show Lineups, Ranked

On Sunday, tens of thousands of rabid football fans will descend upon Atlanta for Super Bowl LIII. They will consume lots of alcohol. They will paint their faces. They will scream and howl as the Patriots and Rams engage in brutal 22-man warfare with the highest possible stakes. Oh, and about two hours into this, they will all pause everything to watch a 12-minute Maroon 5 concert.

The Super Bowl halftime show has become the spectacle within the spectacle. It used to be filler entertainment while the players hydrated and tended to their wounds. Now it serves a higher purpose. It is about world peace, joy, introspection and even grief. It’s also sometimes about giant metallic lion puppets and dancing sharks.

How are we to interpret these hopelessly silly, desperately hopeful rituals? By ranking them, of course. At FiveThirtyEight, we don’t have the technology to make slideshows, but we do have math and a history of applying convoluted methodologies to questions that don’t really need answers. So let’s get started.

Methodology

First, we need to manage expectations: We are not ranking halftime performances, rather the sheer star power that the NFL assembled on stage each year. We’ll talk about how the shows went, but only in relation to their artists’ success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart before the Super Bowl. Our methodology favors shows with many artists because they’re more likely to excite an audience diverse in age and musical interests. Purists may have enjoyed the simplicity of seeing The Who perform without any interlopers in 2010, but anyone who wasn’t excited by a few 60-something British rockers playing their decades-old hits was left with bupkis.

We chose Michael Jackson’s 1993 halftime appearance as the starting point for our analysis. His performance — widely considered one of the best — is the beginning of the modern halftime show. Viewer ratings for the 1993 show exceeded ratings for the actual game, and a blueprint was formed for years ahead. To get a sense of how MJ changed the game, note that the previous year’s show included a salute to the 1992 Winter Olympics and a bunch of kids performing a rap arrangement of “Frosty the Snowman.”

To measure the success of the featured artists — excluding cameos from the likes of Jessica Simpson, who kicked off the 2004 show by asking the audience to “choose to party” — we created a metric called Performer Points. Our methodology for calculating these points is simple:

Artists are assigned points for each of their songs to make the Billboard Hot 100 list since the list began in August 1958.

A song appearing at No. 1 is worth 100 points.

A song at No. 100 is worth 1 point.

We count each week separately, so songs rack up points for staying on the chart.

Performers listed as the main artist on a track get full credit.

Featured artists or guest vocalists get only one-third of the song’s points.1

Performers get one-third of the points from their former band’s hits. That means Paul McCartney gets only a small boost from hits by the Beatles. The weights compound, so if an artist’s former band was merely featured on a song, the artist gets one-ninth of the song’s points.2

If any of that seems confusing, let’s look at an example featuring one of this year’s performers, Atlanta rapper Big Boi.

When we add up all the points, we can see how successful the artists were for every Super Bowl. Here’s what that looks like for the 2019 halftime performers.

Super Bowl LIII nets a respectable 65,065 total Performer Points. That’s seventh on our list of best Super Bowl lineups since 1993. We’ll see whether that translates to a memorable show on Sunday, but the past five years could give us a sense of whether our methodology has any predictive power.

Rankings

It’s easy to dunk on the Black Eyed Peas, and their uninspiring halftime show in 2011 didn’t make it any harder. Fergie, will.i.am, Taboo (!) and apl.de.ap (!!) closed out their headlining set with “Where Is the Love?” on a giant stage shaped like, you guessed it, the word “Love.” The only problem was that part of the letter “v” was literally missing. Now at least we have some data to back up what everyone was thinking the next day: Usher should have headlined. By 2011, he had already reached Billboard’s top 103 with 14 tracks, including classics such as “My Boo” and “U Remind Me.” Usher went into the halftime show with almost twice as many Performer Points as the Peas, and though he performed one of his weaker hits, “OMG,” he still managed to hit every cue, leaping over will.i.am’s head and into our hearts.

I have a confession: I’ve always thought of the 2012 halftime show as “the one with Nicki Minaj.” Looking at the chart, it’s clear there’s recency bias at work — Minaj has become unavoidable since 2012. But at the time of the Super Bowl, her only top 10 hit4 was “Super Bass.” Madonna, on the other hand, stands on top of our individual power rankings with more than 59,000 Performer Points, thanks to her trove of hits dating back to the 1980s. Credit to Madge for almost single-handedly dragging this riot of grecian beefcakes and vogueing into the top five — Katy Perry and Lady Gaga could never.

I’m glad to see our formula isn’t totally set on picking shows from the past 10 years. The “Salute to Motown’s 40th Anniversary” in 1998 had all the intergenerational appeal that Madonna’s show was supposed to capture. The choreography seems a little hokey by today’s standards, but I could listen to this medley all day. Queen Latifah brings it, The Temptations sound fantastic, Boyz II Men gets a solid ballad in, Smokey covers all the old bases and Martha Reeves is so harmlessly, indescribably awful that you can’t help but smile knowing that social media didn’t exist back then.5

Super Bowl L — er, 50 — was billed as Coldplay’s performance, but the NFL let halftime show veterans Beyoncé and Bruno Mars “crash” it. This was a blessing for anyone not named Chris Martin. Both guest stars had more Performer Points than Coldplay, and they stomped away with the show. Beyoncé, dressed in a black leather homage to the Black Panthers, debuted6 “Formation” right there on the field and reminded us of just how powerful this 12-minute musical interlude can be.

We didn’t tweak the weights to get Nipplegate this high up, I promise. You can see on the chart why it’s such a good show. Janet Jackson was an appropriate headline pick, both in length of career and volume of hits. Nelly and P. Diddy were established emissaries from the rap genre, which the Super Bowl has rarely invited on stage. Justin Timberlake had teenybopper loyalty from his *NSYNC days and a new, prurient edge as a solo artist. And Kid Rock was … also there. Of course, nobody remembers anything about this show other than the words “wardrobe malfunction,” and I don’t think any chart could change that, so let’s leave things there.

You may be wondering where your favorite halftime show falls on the list. As we mentioned above, it’s a rough measure of the excitement people might have felt before the show began — Prince may be the best performer ever to take the halftime stage, but if you weren’t a fan, then there wasn’t much to anticipate. On the chart below, you can see how all the artists compare.

All the data we scraped also allows us to answer one final question: Which artists should the Super Bowl reach out to for the 2020 show? Assuming the league is aiming to please a range of viewers, we can grab the top 10 artists by Performer Points for each decade since 1990, as well as from the past two years for the Gen Z audience.

Drafting a Super Bowl halftime show fantasy lineup

Artists with the most Performer Points, by decade

1990-1999 2000-2009 2010-present 2017-present 1 Mariah Carey Nelly Drake Drake 2 Madonna Beyonce Rihanna Post Malone 3 Boyz II Men Ludacris Nicki Minaj Cardi B 4 Whitney Houston Kanye West Taylor Swift Kendrick Lamar 5 Janet Jackson P!nk Bruno Mars Khalid 6 Celine Dion Usher Maroon 5 Ed Sheeran 7 R. Kelly Rihanna Katy Perry Migos 8 TLC 50 Cent Chris Brown Imagine Dragons 9 Elton John Nickelback Lil Wayne Bruno Mars 10 Toni Braxton Alicia Keys Justin Bieber Halsey

Gray text indicates that the artist has already performed at a halftime show, that the artist has died or that a member of the group has died.

Unlike in the rest of the analysis, points earned as a member of a musical group do not count toward an artist’s individual points.

Source: Billboard

Drake would be the biggest get here for the NFL. Starting in May 2009, Drizzy held a spot somewhere on the Hot 100 for 430 weeks straight. Since 2010, he’s amassed 83,898 Performer Points. The closest runner-up in that table is Rihanna, who collected 48,153 points during the same period. If halftime producers haven’t already approached Drake, they’re sleeping on him.

It’s impossible to know who on our list has talked with the NFL. Stars are rarely as open about Super Bowl negotiations as Cardi B was this year, when one of her representatives told Page 6 that “she was not particularly interested in participating because of how she feels about Colin Kaepernick and the whole movement.” (Rihanna also reportedly declined to perform because of her support of Kaepernick.) Taylor Swift, for instance, seems like an obvious candidate. But she has shilled for Coca-Cola — a relationship that could be at risk if she were to perform in the halftime show that Pepsi has sponsored for seven years running.

Whomever the NFL picks next year, the pressure is on. Asking Maroon 5 to headline a show in Atlanta, a city abounding in talented rappers (Big Boi is the only homegrown artist on the bill), resulted in a social media backlash, and a petition with more than 100,000 signatures has urged the band to drop out to demonstrate solidarity with Kaepernick. USA Today even went so far as to publish an obituary for the halftime show as a cultural institution.

That seems a little premature to me. The Super Bowl has evolved before and could do it again. What used to be a variety show writ large, with inscrutable themes,7 Elvis impersonators and card tricks eventually embraced the market-certified success of singers like Michael Jackson and *NSYNC. The collective shrugs following picks like Coldplay, Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5, which has the second most Performer Points of any artist on our list, may herald the end of that era.8 The league has clearly taken note of this year’s controversy, announcing that the pregame press conference with Maroon 5 would not take place so that the artists could focus on their performance. What might come next for the halftime show is anybody’s guess, but one thing’s for certain: Everyone will be watching.
