STAR WATCH EXCLUSIVE! BAD BOY OF ROCK MARRIES TEEN HEIRESS IN GOLDEN SAUCER SECRET CEREMONY! - Tony Maculchy
Turk lead singer Reno ties the knot for the third time. It was at noon last Saturday when Reno married 18 year old Teen Heiress and TV star Yuffie Kisaragi. The pair first met when Yuffie was given the role of Sakura Umazaki in the movie 'Crucify my Love'. The movie proved to be a hit and displayed Yuffie's acting skills that was previously unrecognised in the TV series Rising Falls. While Reno had proven himself as an actor in five other films, Crucify my Love was the first for Yuffie Kisaragi who auditioned for a role when her character Aya Uchiha was written of Rising falls. Their wedding proved to be a complete surprise as the pair was not seen in each other's company all throughout filming. Reno has always been linked to his co-stars and was never shy to show off his new date. His previous marriages lasted from three weeks to nine months.
Insiders from the movie have said that the only time Reno showed interest in Yuffie was during the audition where he insisted that she was given the lead role when Yuffie was auditioning for a supporting character. Her role became a controversial issue as her role in the movie involved adult situations, a giant leap from the naïve, annoying teenager she played in Rising Falls.
Cid Highwind sighed as he rolled the newspaper and threw it in the trash can. The set of Rising Falls have been in complete chaos ever since the picture of the newlyweds graced the streets. He could only imagine what her father was going through right now.
"She's not answering her phone!" Tifa Lockheart, also known as Haruko Uchiha said as she walked in the set. "I've been trying since this morning!"
"This has to be a dream…"
Tifa patted Cid on the shoulders. "Shocked you, huh?"
"Damn right it did! You really didn't know? None of you did?"
Tifa shook her head. "No. Yuffie never said anything about dating him! I mean yeah, she was happier, and… I know I should have seen something, noticed something… it was hard to keep in touch with her ever since she left. We're filming practically the entire week from six till midnight…"
"I can't believe this! Reno? The Turk of all people? Does she really know what she's getting into?"
Cid asked. "Has anyone seen Godo?"
"No… I heard that he had a meeting with his PR department. I don't think he'll be in a good mood."
"You can say that again." Cid snorted. "Mr Producer has a nightmare in his hands…"
"Three guesses on what the topic of conversation is…"
The two of them looked at their co-star Aerith Gainsborough. She held up three different magazines, all with pictures of Reno shoving a photographer with one hand, the other was around Yuffie's shoulders, drawing her into him and away from the paparazzi. "I can't believe this… Yuffie and Reno? Why him? I just can't believe she married him!"
"She never did talk about her time on the set with him when we have lunch." Tifa said as she took one magazine and read through it. "Remember? We'd ask her how the shoot was going and she'll just shrug and say that it was okay?"
Aerith nodded. "I just wish we had a clue! I wish she'd told us she was seeing someone at least!"
"People! Head over to the conference room, we have a meeting! That's everyone cast and crew!"
Cid took his jacket off as they walked towards the conference room. "Gee, wonder what this meeting is all about?"
Fifteen minutes later, the cast and crew were given guidelines on what to say and what not to say in the event they are approached with questions regarding Yuffie Kisaragi.
On the other side of town, Tseng Kinamoto stared at the man in front of him. "Well?"
Reno sat across him with a beer in one hand. "Well what?"
"Do you have an explanation for this?"
"Do I need to?"
"Damn it, Reno! I'm your manager. You should have told me! Have you read the papers? Your personal life affects the Turks!"
"Look at the record sales, Tseng." Reno replied. "You think they care what I do? I've done worse than marry someone and at no time did our sales drop. You think I would've done this if I knew that was going to happen?"
The older man sighed as he closed his eyes. "Where is she?"
"In our apartment. Laney's with her."
"Why her, Reno? Of all the girls you can pick up, why Kisaragi?"
"That's really none of your business, Tseng."
Tseng just sighed. "How long do you plan to keep this… this marriage? Do me a favour and tell me before you get a divorce so we can get our PR Department ready!"
Reno drank his beer and threw it in the trash. "Anything else?"
"Reno, I'm on your side, always. Remember that."
"I know." Reno replied as he stood up. "Are we still on for the conference?"
Tseng nodded. "It would probably be good. We keep this all hushed up, I'm waiting for Godo's people. Get our statement straight."
"Call me if any plans change."
Tseng watched Reno walk out of his office and sighed. Reno was more or less predictable. This wedding however, was completely out of the blue. He knew Reno was dating, hell, he was always dating. But to marry, again? With his past weddings, they were all arranged. Nice publicity photos, interviews here and there, exclusive pictures from the wedding…
He looked at the magazines in front of him and looked at Yuffie Kisaragi, a bit dazed and uncomfortable with all the attention as she was being shielded by Reno and some bodyguards. Yuffie Kisaragi, TV actress and heir to Kisaragi Pictures. He first met the girl personally when she came to audition for a movie role. He had never seen Rising Falls, he'd only heard that her character wasn't really popular, and was even one of the least favourite characters on tv. One of his assistants have told him that Yuffie's role consisted of the teenage side kick variety. Not the kind of actress they were looking to fill any part in the movie.
"Okay, Miss Kisaragi, please turn to page 12."
Reno, Tseng and Casting Director Hans Danniels watched.
It was almost noon, and Hans wanted to finish with the minor characters so they can finalise the female lead soon. So far, there were five for consideration. He turned his attention back to Yuffie. The girl was okay… not really for this movie, but he'll definitely keep her in mind."I want her to read for Sakura."
"I beg your pardon?"
"I want her to read for Sakura." Reno said softly without looking at him.
"Sakura's the lead role." He replied, and Reno just looked at him as he stood up. Hans looked at Tseng for support, but all he could do was rub his temples.
"That's good, Yuffie." Reno said as he walked towards the girl and sat on the vacant chair next to her. "Name's Reno, babe."
"I know." Yuffie replied and eyed Reno suspiciously.
"Read page 23, then we do the scene together."
Yuffie nodded her head and flicked through the pages, and her nose wrinkled when she read the page. "I'm not auditioning for this role."
Reno smiled. "Indulge me."
Yuffie read the page for a few minutes and looked at Reno. "I'm ready."
Five minutes later, they thanked Yuffie for her time and began to select the female lead. Hans wanted four actors to come back for a second audition, and Tseng had three, however, Reno wanted Yuffie Kisaragi.
He and Hans argued with Reno, but he made up his mind. He wanted Yuffie in the picture as a lead, or he walks.
He remembered that day well. At first, he, along with everybody else thought Yuffie was just another conquest, but when nothing happened on the set, he began looking at Yuffie as an actor, and even Hans was impressed by her acting ability. He was shaken from his reverie when someone knocked on his door. "Come in."
"Sir?" The nervous assistant walked in with a pad on his hands. "We're getting calls…"
"I know we're getting calls! We will not release a comment!"
The assistant shook his head. "It's not the wedding, sir. There's been a leak. It's about the single we didn't release about two months ago, the one Mr. Reno wrote…"
"Pretty when you Cry…" Tseng muttered as he stalked to the cabinet filled with song lyrics they released and pulled out the single. Tseng read the lyrics and kicked the cabinet. "Oh fuck! How the hell did this happen?"
The assistant gulped. "Well, sir. I got a call from Midgar at Six asking us about this song. They said that somebody faxed it to them…"Shit!" Tseng closed his eyes. "Get legal on the phone. No part of that song is to go in public, radio, tv, print, nothing!"
"Yes, sir." The assistant breathed out a sigh of relief as he exited the office.
Tseng placed the file back into the cabinet. This was going to be a nightmare.
