Tonight's Major Celeb Watch: Who we think you should look out for

As many of you already know, tonight is a BIG night in Hollywood! The red carpet event of the year is taking place at 6pm PST to celebrate the release of the next installment in the beloved "Star Wars" saga (a/n I'm just making this up lol). And as if the new movie didn't have us excited enough, there are going to be some very well known names walking the carpet tonight including Chris Pratt, Leo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, the boys of 5 Seconds of Summer, and the queen of the divas, Anna Carter. Make sure to tune in on any major entertainment channel on tv or livestream it on the link we've provided below! Our interviewers will be live from the red carpet to dish all the latest gossip, best (and worst!) dressed, and maybe even capture footage of Miss Carter's latest diva move! This is one event that you don't want to miss!

"How much longer is this going to take?" I asked my hairstylist with a heavy sigh. It was the last thing I had to get done before putting on my dress for the award show that I just wanted to get over with.

"Watch your tone of voice, hun, people might start to think you're a diva or something," Clara winked at me in the mirror. She was just as much an older sister to me as she was a stylist and probably the closest friend I had.

"Stop it, you know how much I hate the diva reputation," I whined.

"I know, sweetie," she agreed with a sympathetic smile. Dropping her voice to a whisper so that only I could hear, she added, "When you start getting frustrated, just remember that you only have six months left."

Clara was referring to the fact that my management contract would be up in six months, finally freeing me from the incredibly controlling people that had decided a diva reputation would get me plenty of publicity. And they were right, I did get plenty of attention for the little stunts I was forced to do over the past four and a half years.

Unfortunately fame wasn't the only thing that came with that attention-I gained a pretty bad reputation, too. Right now the world sees me as a major diva with an ego bigger than anybody else in Hollywood. I really hated that, anybody allowed to know the real me could tell you that I'm very down to earth and rarely ever think of myself first.

I can't wait for that contract to be up. We've been talking for a year about what we'll do when it ends because Clara is coming with me when I leave management, I don't know how I'd do anything without her. The day the contract is up, June 30th, I'm going to tell the world about what I've been forced to do over the years and show them the real me using some proof of my true personality that I've collected since we came up with the plan. Finding a new management will start that day, too, as the leash I'm kept on right now is much too tight for nobody to notice if I started 'shopping around'. That leash is figurative, of course, although I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I was put on a real leash at some point, especially if management found out about my plans.

"Aaand I'm all done! You look beautiful, Anna. Now go tell wardrobe it's time to put your dress on," Clara said, shooing me away from her chair. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the torture that is being dressed for an award show. I'd be poked at, pulled on, stared at, and taped in place for the next hour. How can putting a dress on be so complicated?

********************************************

After an hour and 17 minutes (yes I was counting, can you blame me?) I was finally dressed and ready for the red carpet.

While I tried to ignore the stylists surrounding me, my manager briefed me on everything I needed to know and do tonight. Pose for pictures at every stop on the carpet, smiling four times and flipping off one photographer. Only do interviews with people that have interviewed you before because we don't know what new interviewers might say and apparently that's a bad thing. I wasn't surprised when asked to star in this movie but I am happy with how it turned out. Don't use words much more descriptive than happy, you have to sound fairly bored. Only be friendly with fellow cast members because you bonded with them, anybody else is below you and only worth a polite conversation. 

This was what went on every time I interacted with anyone in any way. This has been my life for almost five years now and it's exhausting.

When I was (finally) ready to go, I sat in a limo with absolutely nothing to do for the entire 40 minute drive to the theater where the premiere was being held. All I kept thinking was that I couldn't wait to get into the theater and for the movie to start because then I can relax for a bit. Also, I'm a major Star Wars fan so I'm excited to see the new movie. Being in it is like a dream come true.

(I skipped over the beginning part of the red carpet because that's boring and I don't know anything about it lol)

I walked away from my interview with E!News, glad to finally be at the end of the red carpet. Their interviewers were always so sweet to me, I really appreciated their non-judgmental attitudes whenever we talked. As I turned my head to look for my manager who should be waving me over to wherever she's standing, I forgot to look where I was going and walked straight into someone.

"Sorry," I mumbled out of habit, then realizing that I shouldn't have said that and I hoped that whoever it was didn't hear me.

"So sorry, Anna, I didn't see you there," said a deep voice with a familiar accent. Not just familiar because it's from my home country, but because I knew the voice. I don't know how, I just do. Like Joe Jonas in Camp Rock.

I slowly turned around, getting the dirtiest look I could on my face because of the amount of cameras around us but what I saw shocked me so much that I dropped the act along with my jaw.

I found myself face to face with my first and only love, the boy that I was forced to coldly cut all ties with just months after signing with my management. The person that reminded me of how long the worst part of my life has been going on, the person that still hurts me when I think about them every single day. "Luke?"

(A/n) soo this is the first chapter of diva :D I hope everyone likes it because I'm super excited about it.
