Snapshot of Love

Hello?

Hey.

- Hey. - Hey, ready to go?

You're driving, right?

I texted you, like, 15 minutes ago.

- Sorry, I had to go over all the photos

that Sasha sent over.

It's crazy.

Like, how does this guy avoid

getting his picture taken for over a year?

- No idea. But that's why he's The Ghost.

- Yeah, and it's driving Sasha crazy.

Oh, I know.

She made me sit outside of his apartment

for hours last week, trying to get a photo.

I felt like his stalker.

I mean, how does an actor avoid getting his picture taken?

I don't know.

But we're gonna be late and she's going to kill us

if we don't get a picture of this guy.

- Mm. Yeah, you got to give him credit though.

He's avoided the paparazzi for a long time. Not tonight.

We're gonna get that photo

and get the promotion we deserve.

Yes.

You look so beautiful.

- Thanks. You look pretty good yourself.

You okay?

Just nervous.

Don't be silly.

Everyone's going to fall in love with you, just like I did.

- Yeah, I'm just not looking forward to the photos.

- You need to get over this obsession

with hating to have your photo taken.

This is Hollywood and you're a star.

- Yeah, I'm just not used to all the fans,

press, and schmoozing.

- What my grandfather used to say was "just smile and wave."

- Yeah, well, you make it look easy.

- The public just wants to feel like they know you.

You're the living embodiment of their hopes and dreams.

- Yeah, I just remember being on the other side

of that bull rope not too long ago.

- Exactly. You're proof that anything is possible.

You are destined to be a star.

If you say so.

I'm just so exhausted, I barely know what day it is.

Your work speaks for itself.

Besides, who cares what day it is?

That's what assistants are for.

- Tonight's premiere of "Accidentally in Love"

has fans and critics excited.

There has been Oscar buzz

surrounding the Hollywood newcomer, Parker Bennett.

Parker made a splash last year

with his critically acclaimed film "Return to Nowhere."

Looks like a car has just arrived.

Could it be a star of tonight's movie?

It's Parker Bennett and Justina Boudreaux.

They're looking hot.

Just smile and wave.

Smile and wave.

- Smile and wave. - Got it.

- Parker, you alive? - Parker Bennet is down,

ladies and gentlemen.

Parker.

I hate this part of my job.

Parker, wake up!

This is embarrassing.

Pull it together. - Paramedics are on their way

as concerned fans hold their breath for the young star.

This, ladies and gentlemen,

now this is how you chase a story.

This actor has managed to avoid our cameras

for the last year, and we finally got him.

And what a doozy.

Let's hear it for Adrian Summers.

Now I don't want to know how you do it.

I personally don't want to be liable if it's illegal.

No, but this is tremendous work.

Our readers are going to love it.

Top marks.

Now let's get back to work.

- Sasha, I was wondering if I could-

- If you're looking for a raise, save it.

I've already bumped your and Ryan's pay.

Oh, thank you.

No, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about.

Don't you think that headline is a little harsh?

- I thought we were rather restrained.

Not all of these young stars can cut it in this town.

- But it's not like he was actually drunk.

- Ah, that's for our readers to decide.

- He's probably just tired. I'm sure he's overworked.

- Adrian, I don't pay you for your empathy,

I pay you for the good juicy photos.

Now, if you want to have a heart,

go work for someone that cares, like a newspaper.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that's awful. You're fired.

Yes, ma'am.

- Do you think you might be taking this a little personally?

- Are you suggesting that I would try

to ruin the career of an actor

who's been a thorn in my side for the last year?

Well, no, I just...

I don't know why we can't just tell the real story.

I'm not trying to ruin him.

I'm just trying to make him more interesting.

He's boring, and people want dirt.

Speaking of, I need you to get me follow-up

on that red carpet meltdown.

- What do you want? - I don't care.

Follow him to rehab, vacation,

his famous girlfriend's house.

Just get me something.

You got it?

Got it.

I used to love covering celebrity events,

but now I just feel like we're making the stories up.

I wanted to be a journalist, not a stalkerazzi.

Why do you stay?

- I still have those four payments on my aunt's B&B.

- Well, I'm sure she'd understand if you couldn't swing it.

- Of course, but I can't do that to her

after all she's done for me.

Here. Tea.

Thanks, Maggie.

Thank you.

Didn't she just fire you?

- She fires me every day. Sometimes, multiple times a day.

- Yeah, she just changes her shirt

and Sasha doesn't even notice.

- Do you want to explain to me what happened?

- Well, there was all these lights, then I took a step.

I think I slipped on an apple.

An apple?

Why would an apple be on the red carpet?

The whole town thinks you were drunk!

Oh, please, I barely drink.

And you, what show of concern

was that for your boyfriend?

I was just-

- You were just posing instead of helping your sweetheart.

- Look, that's not fair. Justina what's trying to help me.

- Ha! Not before smiling and waving at the camera.

Do you know the damage control

I have to do for the both of you?

- You smiled and waved at the cameras?

Well, maybe just a little.

- Justina, you're not new to this.

You know better.

I didn't know what to.

- I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to release a press statement.

- Can't we just tell him the truth,

that I'm exhausted and I slipped and fell?

Absolutely not.

Do you know what exhausts means in Hollywood?

- I've done four films back-to-back with no time off.

- I had back-to-back films since I was nine.

That's the life. You'll get used to it.

- You grew up in this world, I didn't.

I need a break, a real break.

Can't I just take a little time off?

- Parker, do you know what that would look like?

- Marty, if I don't get some rest,

I'm not gonna be able to act my way out

of a speeding ticket.

Look, I need to clear my head, get away from it all.

- This is a terrible photo of me.

Of us. It's a terrible photo of us.

- Well, now you know why I hate getting my photograph taken.

Why don't you come join me?

We can spend some time alone together.

Great idea.

We can spin it as a romantic getaway.

- But I have those meetings for the new superhero flick.

You know, that one I can't talk about.

- Well, when you're done with that,

why don't you come join me?

I heard about this place near the Blue Ridge Mountains.

A director I know it says

it's very secluded and therapeutic.

Absolutely.

I'd love to spend alone time with you in the mountains.

Wait. Is that my apple?

Oh, what have I done? - How's my story coming, hm?

- I can't find any dirt on this guy, but...

What? Spit it out.

- I think my apple rolled out of my bag and tripped him up.

I don't know how it happened.

Well, we did just get a call

from his manager and he's upset.

You're gonna have to disappear.

Wait. What are you saying?

I need you to take a break.

Look at it as a two-week vacation. Unpaid.

- I mean, I didn't mean for this to happen.

- All I know is that we got great photos,
