Thank you so much for your kind words. Have no fear, I totally swoon over Tommy and Jude. The show would not be as fun to watch if they just let them be, though. Oh, drama. Speaking of drama, that is all there shall be. I cannot just throw Jude and Tom together and it be just that. That would be so boring. So have no fear, their time will come.. Eventually… Till then, each will go their own way….

Well, the show is finally on. Woo, so I am off to decided whether or not I think Speidermen is cute. I think I butchered his last name. I am just not sure how I feel. Can I just say that Sadie looks absolutely gorgeous this season? Eh, Barbies make me sick. One last thing, is it just me or does Patsy look a lot older than the rest of the young cast? I don't like her. I want me some Jat, or perhaps something better.

Thanks again, and please review!

Slow Down

You kiss me like an overdramatic actor who's starving for work,
with one last shot to make it happen.
You've won the role, you've played your part,
you've been cordially invited.
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited.
'Cause the film runs a shallow budget,
and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper.
So dive right in...

-The Academy Is

You just have to love the media. They jump on anything, especially anything with bigger names than your own is mentioned. So far, I have counted 5 articles on my new show.. The news was announced in a press release 36 hours ago. Maybe it was a slow news day?

G-Major Announces Reality Deal for Instant Star

Newbie, Jude Harrison signed on to an MTV reality show similar to that of the Ashlee Simpson show. The show will be produced by Samantha Martez, who also happens to be the co-producer of Harrison's next album. Producer, Tom Quincy is also on board. G-Major owner and hip-hop mogul, Darius Mills says the "future could not be brighter for their star." " With a team like Martez and Quincy, how could you go wrong?"

Jude Harrison signs deal with MTV.

The G-Major darling will be joining the ranks of the Simpson sisters, with her new reality show that is currently Untitled. The show will track Jude as she completes her sophomore album. Infinite Abyss's leading lady, Samantha Martez and Boyz Attack alumni, Tom Quincy will co-star as Jude's producers. With big names such as Martez, Quincy, and G-Major's owner, Darius Mills attached, it is sure to be a hit.

Harrison Instant Star of MTV

Watch out Jude Harrison fans! She will be coming to a small screen near you. Jude has inked a deal with MTV for her very own reality show. MTV will trail Jude as she lays down the tracks for her brand new album. Follow the rising instant star on her next big step. Harrison will be joined by producers, Tom Quincy (Boyz Attack) and Samantha Martez( Infinite Abyss).

Quincy Back In The Spotlight

Writer/Producer Tom Quincy of Boyz Attack fame is stepping back in the spotlight. Quincy will be a supporting role in the currently Untitled: Jude Harrison Project. Quincy will be teaming up with once and again rumored love, Samantha Martez, Infinite Abyss to produce his protégé's newest album.

I have the strangest feeling that I may live to regret this, but it was a good move right? Sam, Tom, and Darius said so. Its not like I was listening to Jaime, though I cannot stop thinking maybe I should have….

Tommy tossed the papers down on to the empty chair next to him.

"Hey Jude, can you come out here. I'll rewind the track in a minute and we can start over."

Jude nodded and removed her headset.

"What's up?" she asked, leaning against the doorway of the studio.

"Come sit," he said moving the stack of papers. Jude gave him an odd looking before making herself comfortable in the chair next to him.

"Is the reality show really what you want?" he asked. "Because if it isn't, I can have Sam pull it."

"You said it was a good idea."

"It is a good idea, but can you handle it? Cameras on you almost 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. Not just in the studio, but out if it too," Tommy continued.

Jude looked at him annoyed. "Are you trying to talk me out of it?"

"I am making sure that you understand what you are doing. This isn't going to be easy stuff. You've only bee in this business a year. You don't know the gory details. The cameras will catch your every move."

"What is your problem, Tommy?"

"Nothing. I just don't want you to feel like you need to do this because Sam asked you too."

"I am doing this for me, Tommy!"

"All right!" Tom said, holding up his hands in defense. " I get it. This is the Jude show."

Jude pushed herself farther away from him.

"Would you do it?"

Tommy looked at her questionably. "Would I do what?"

"The show? If it was reversed. Would you agree to let MTV take over your life?"

"I've been there and done that Jude. I've worked hard for my privacy."

"Yeah, you sure are private."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Jude bit her lip. She had been waiting for a night without Kwest and Samantha in studio to get things out with Tommy. She didn't need cameras to catch this on film. Who knows what sort of trouble it would cause.

"Were you ever going to tell me how you invited your girlfriend to co-produce my album? Or better yet, were you ever going to tell me that she was your girlfriend? Excuse me, ex- fiancée? We tell each other everything Tommy!"

"Need I remind you that you are under contract with G-Major? You don't make the decisions, Jude. I do. Darius makes them. Samantha makes them. You are the new artist. I wouldn't have asked Sam to be my co-producer if I didn't think she could make this record even better than the first."

" Or make her even more convenient."

"Your comments have to stop. You don't know anything about me and Sam. "

"I know that you were engaged to her. I know that I walked in on you and her practically going at it before our meeting."

Tommy groaned in frustration. " I knew you were not going to just let that go. Sadie told you about the engagement didn't she?"

"She didn't need too," Jude spat shoving a discarded magazine in front of Tommy.

Martez & Quincy: Match Made in Music.

Former Boyz Attacker, Tom Quincy and Infinite Abyss's front woman, Samantha Martez appear to have rekindled their former romance. Quincy and Martez were first spotted palling around in Los Angeles. Fast forward 6 months later and the duo are spotted all over Toronto. Rumor has it that the sultry rocker has been sporting a large rock on her all important ring finger. Could the much talked about engagement be back on? Only time will tell. The romantically linked duo will both be featured on the new reality show about Instant Star, Jude Harrison. Martez and Quincy are co-producing the anticipated second album of the rising artist.

"The papers would," Jude added. She hoped to God that her voice hadn't shook.

"Look, I am only going to say this once, what happens outside of this studio between me and Sam is none of your concern. Unless you've been in love you cannot possible understand. Samantha was the love of my life. She was my rock. And until I screwed it up, my everything. She made me a better man."

"Am I supposed to be swayed by this or something?" Jude retorted sarcastically.

"I love her. She is my partner in this. That is all you need to know and I ask that you respect that."

"Like you respected me and Shay?"

"Don't go there. Don't you ever compare what Sam and I have to you and Shay."

"Why not? You were what, 20? She was 18. Not that much older than me and Shay were."

" Age has nothing to do with this. You know what Jude, I am not going to sit here and argue with you. You are never going to understand until you fall in love. I think we are done for the night. Excuse me. I need to make some arrangements before I head out," Tommy snapped.

Jude kicked the chair once occupied by Tommy. Walk away, Tommy. It won't be the first time and sure as hell won't be the last.

Tommy was furious. He slammed the door to his office, startling Sam who was working at his desk.

"Something wrong?" she asked. She peered at him over her dark rimmed glasses.

Tommy didn't answer. He marched over to her, spun his chair around and kissed her with all he was worth.

"What happened?" She muttered against his lips. Once again, he didn't respond. He kissed her hard, hoping to loose himself in the kiss that had once set his world on fire.

Samantha knew in the back of her mind that Tom was attempting to kiss out a problem. She knew that he harbored feelings for a certain young singer. Sam may have been young herself, but she was no idiot. Jude was still a minor. She didn't have to worry for another year. She prayed that there was nothing to worry about. Samantha only hoped that her and Tommy's history would erase any threat that his relationship with Jude could create. Tommy was the only man she had ever loved. No matter how many times she had said the words , whenever she said them to Tommy, she meant them.

Tommy broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against Sam's. He knew that he loved this woman, but he wasn't sure if he loved her with all that he had. There was a piece of him that another held. He hoped that he could live without it. Deep down he knew better.

Tommy took Sam's right hand in his. He looked down at the white gold band on the ring finger. The twin to his very own ring, a commemoration to their friendship and bond.

"How about we do something about these bands?"

Samantha's eyes widened with horror and confusion. What the hell had happened in the studio?

"You don't mean.."

"Marry me."

Samantha pushed him away. " Excuse me?"

"Marry me? I proposed to you 3 years ago. Lets make it official."

Samantha got up from the chair and began to pace.

"What brought this on?"

Tommy wrapped his arms around her. " I love you."

Samantha knew what she was about to say was not going to make things any easier. She knew something had spurred this on, but the love struck girl from her past told her to shut up and just say yes. So, she did.

"Yes."

Tommy grinned widely. Excitedly, he picked her up and spun her around.

In their rush of emotions, neither saw a stricken Jude looking in from the window.

Definitely should have listened to Jamie.
