Live From Time Square: Jude Harrison

When you reach a level of celebrity, your privacy becomes slim to none. Suddenly, you have to watch your back. You have to watch what you say and who you say it too. Sometimes the most innocent of conversations could be twisted so badly. Private conversations with friends aren't always so private.

Thumper's mother was right when she said if you don't have anything nice to stay, don't say it all. Sometimes the not nice things you say will come back to bite you in the butt….

"Get her into make up!"

" We're on in 10 minutes!"

"Where is that mic!"

Were the sounds backstage of MTV studios. Jude Harrison stood in her dressing room, putting the finishing touches on her ensemble. The group had a late morning call time for the show recording.

"Mocha Latte?" Spiederman offered, entering her dressing room. Jude flashed a smile at her kind lead guitarist and gulped down as much caffeine as she could. Sadie had demanded that the sisters up early to hit 5th avenue before the taping. She had never been more relieved to get to work.

"Jude, remember. If you are ever asked anything you don't want to answer play coy. Or even better, just say no comment. If there is any problems signal to myself or Tom and we'll pull it," Samantha advised, entering the dressing room.

"Just go out there and be yourself," Tom added from the entry way.

"Its cool."

"All right, you look great. See you out there!" Samantha grinned and hurried out the room.

"Knock 'em dead, girl," Tommy encouraged before following after his fiancée.

Jude shook her body, psyching herself out for her performance.

Spied kicked her in the rear as they walked out to the set. Jude stuck her tongue out at him and took her place. Kyle started off the count, just as the models prepared to walk the run way, while Jude played.

"This past week, we have been introducing you to New and Upcoming Artists. Well today, we've got an import straight from Canada. With a solid debut album, a hot former boy-band producer, a killer back up band, and not to mention a new and upcoming project, this 17-year-old has been living the life of an Instant Star. Ladies and Gents, for the 1st time on our show, give it up for Jude Harrison and the Spiederman Mind Explosion!'" Vanessa announced.

Jude and S.M.E began to play Anyone But You to an energetic audience. Sadie took her place next to an even better looking Spencer Walsh and walked the run away. She flashed a smile at her kid sister, as she spun around.

Sick of the lines that fade away
I never know what to believe
In a world that's crushing me
You're the only one I see

I don't change my mind for anybody
I won't waste my time on just anybody
I won't share my life

With anyone but you
It's such a long road (with anyone but you)
That I couldn't follow (with anyone but you)
Never anyone but you

They put my poster on the wall
They watch and wait for me to fall
They think they made me who I am
Well, they don't know me at all

I don't change my mind for anybody
I won't waste my time on just anybody
I won't share my life (with anyone but you)

It's such a long road (with anyone but you)
That I couldn't follow (with anyone but you)
Never anyone but
Never anyone but (anyone but you)
It's such a long road (with anyone but you)
That I couldn't follow (with anyone but you)

Never anyone but you

Samantha and Tommy joined the crowd in their wild response at the completion of the song.

"Jude Harrison and Spiederman Mind Explosion, everybody!" Vanessa shouted out, clapping her hands. The guys waved and took their places off the stage, while Jude stayed center. She smiled coyly at the cameras.

" Jude, you are an amazing performer. You and your band rock hard. How are you enjoying your trip to New York?" Vanessa asked.

"It's great. We haven't been able to do much, but my sister and I hit some stores today."

"How does NY shopping compare to back home?"

"I can never shop anywhere else again! I don't know how Sadie and I contained ourselves. We walked into H&M and saw nothing else but big red signs that said Sale."

Vanessa laughed. "Your sister walked our run way with the delicious Spencer Walsh, am I correct?"

"Yes, something she is over the moon about," Jude teased. Sadie shot her a scolding look. Her looked changed, once Spencer wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Speaking of Spencer Walsh, the front woman of his band, Samantha Martez has joined your production team. How has that been working out?" Vanessa inquired.

"Sam is great. She is someone I admire and have a lot of respect for. She is also the producer of my new show."

"That's right. If you haven't all ready heard, Jude Harrison is joining the MTV family with her own reality show that is currently untitled. Have you started filming?"

"No we have not. Filming starts Thursday. I couldn't be more excited. A little nervous, but over all I am looking forward to it," Jude charmed.

"Is there anything we should expect? You have a great band, an award wining rocker of a producer, not to mention former teen heartthrob Tommy Q on board."

Jude laughed. Tommy cringed off camera.

"I don't know about former teen heartthrob. Tom can be a real pain!" Jude teased. "I'm not ever sure what to expect. I assure you that there will never be a dull moment."

"Well, we are all looking forward to that!" Vanessa commented. " So, Jude. Every so often we put an artist on the spot for a game of "Fact or Fiction." Would you be up to clearing up rumors and setting the record straight?"

"Sure."

"Awesome. On the screen to your right, a rumor will pop up on the screen. All you have to say is fact or fiction," Vanessa explained.

"All right. Let's do this."

" Fact or Fiction: You write all your own songs?" " Fact. I've been writing them since I could write!"

"Fact or Fiction: you are naturally blonde." "Fact, but the red suits me much better."

"Fact or Fiction: you've been playing guitar since you were 10." "Fact."

"Fact or Fiction: your song with Shay began from an argument over studio time?" "Hey, he tried to run off with my producer! A girl has to stand her ground."

"Fact or Fiction: you have a role in an up coming horror flick?" "So fiction! I hate scary movies. Seriously. It's sad. My friends once dragged me to a horror flick fest. I slept with the light on for a week!"

"Fact or Fiction: there is some in band romance." "Fiction! I love my boys, none the less! "

Jude joking blew a kiss to the three boys in front of the audience.

"Fact or Fiction: you were a total Boyz Attacker?" "Okay, can we talk about this for a second? There is no right way to answer this, especially with Tommy Q right there!"

The camera turned to Tommy who politely waved into the camera.

" There's love for them now. That is all I have to say!" Jude laughed.

Vanessa nodded and looked at her note cards. "We have one more that may be rather touché. I hope you don't mind addressing now, before it gets out of hand."

Jude looked at the VJ confused. " Okay." She wasn't sure what the question could be. Jude suddenly felt a nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Fact or Fiction: You wanted Sam Martez pulled as producer because of her engagement to Tom Quincy?"

Jude stared horrified at the VJ. She turned to meet as with Tommy. His eyes were unreadable. Damn that Quincy and his poker face.

"Excuse me? That is total fiction," Jude managed to stumble out. Despite her response. The truth was written across her face.

"Straight from the singers mouth! Well Ms. Harrison, it has been a pleasure. I wish you all the luck in the world. You have to come back real soon." Vanessa replied. " You can catch Jude and her boys on her new reality show, Untitled: Jude Harrison. Right here on MTV."

Jude hugged Vanessa and stormed off set. She wasn't sure what she felt. Was she horrified? Petrified? Flabbergasted? Appalled? All she knew was the she wanted off the stage. she wanted off stage NOW.

Jude's entourage turned to watch her go. Samantha grabbed a producer and hissed something in his ear. Sadie shrugged out of Spencer's hold and stepped towards the hall.

Sadie and Tom both made an attempt to follow after Jude.

"No," Samantha said firmly. " Let me." Sadie and Tom exchanged looks of uncertainty. "It has to be me," Sam re-affirmed. "Tom, go clear things upstairs. I sent them a message to edit out the last question. If there is anything else, take care of it. I'll talk to Jude."

Jude held on to the table tightly. She didn't know how anyone found out about her conversation with Claudia, but someone had. Jude was startled by the door behind her opening. Samantha entered the room and closed the door. Jude watched Samantha take off her engagement ring and slide it into her jeans pocket.

"Want to talk about it?" Jude didn't answer.

"You know that I've known Tom since I was your age. We were together till just before my 20th birthday. We're two years a part. I could not stand him at first. I thought he was just another pretty boy. Then I listened to one of his demos. It wasn't bad. It wasn't great, either, but it was him. I would have married him when I was 19 if it hadn't been for his drinking problem. I know the look of a girl in love. If it will make it better, I will resign from the project. All you have to do is tell me."

Jude turned to look at Samantha surprise. "What are you-? How?"

"Jude, when you have been around this business as long as I have, you learn to read people. You learn to read the crowd. You learn to read your interviewers. You learn to anticipate what comes next." Samantha started. "I suspected it. I wasn't a 100 sure. I've spent more time with boys than girls, so my girl sense isn't one of my best features. I am not going to break my engagement. I love him. I am in love with him. But I will try to make it easier. I like you, Jude. You have a great potential, a great talent. I've seen you and Tommy in action. I don't want to mess with a winning team. I'll call Darius to let him know. "

Jude just stared at Sam. What do you say to the woman, whose fiancé is the guy you are head over heels for? What do you say when she calls you on it?

"Thanks, Sam."

Samantha gave her a small smile and reached for the door knob.

"I'm sure everybody is waiting for you. I have some stuff to take care of. I'll see you later, Jude."

Samantha opened the door. Sadie and S.M.E poured into the room. Samantha smiled politely at them and disappeared down the hall.

Sadie was the first to make it to Jude.

"Jude, are you okay? If she said something to upset you, I'll --."

Jude was quiet. "No, no. I'm fine. She offered to resign from my album. I have to call EJ or Portia. I need to figure out a way to clean this up before the media turns it into some big mess."

" Are you sure?" Sadie repeated.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jude insisted. She reached under the table to pick up her bag. "How about we get some retail therapy in while we can?" Jude looked at Sadie hopefully. She was not interested in getting into it with her sister. There would be questions, Jude was not sure if she was ready to answer.

"Sam, you cannot drop as producer," Tommy argued as they made their way out of MTV studios.

"I can, Tommy, and I did."

"Why? Because of what Jude said? Come on, Sam. I asked you to do this."

"There's been a change of plans. IA is going into the studio as soon as Spencer's band is done with their album."

"Sam, tell me you aren't dropping because of what happened on TRL? Jude said it wasn't true."

Samantha spun around to look at Tommy straight in the eye.

"You know that I am completely, absolutely, head over feet in love with you right?"

"Yeah," Tommy nodded, his arms sliding around her waist. "I'm "completely, absolutely, totally, whatever-ly in love with you. I have been since the day I met you and you told me to go to hell."

"You don't mess with chemistry, Tommy. When the concoction is already perfect, you don't add another element in for kicks. The product won't come out the same. You and Jude make a great team. I don't want to mess with a working product. I'd hate for it to explode in our faces."

Tommy stared at her. His eyes gazed into hers. He took her chin in his hand and leaned down to kiss her. " I love you," he whispered.

"Me too."

They stood in front of the building like that a few moments longer.

"I'll still the producer of Untitled. And I still own G-Major. It's not like you won't see me. Okay, so I'll be bouncing around from LA, Toronto, and New York, but when you want you can come with me. After all, we have a wedding to plan."

"How about we just say to hell with the wedding and just get married. We can fly somewhere and get married, just the two of us."

Sam's thoughts flashed to Jude. She needed to think about how to handle that factor. Sam knew that Tommy cared for Jude, but did he care for Jude the same way Jude cared for him? Sam shook her head of unwanted thoughts.

"No way, Mr. Q. I want my wedding with the big dress and ugly bridesmaids dresses, and cake," She replied. " Mm, cake."

Tommy smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead. " Okay, we'll have all that." He looked up to see Jude, Sadie, and the boys rush on by.

"Hey!" he shouted over Sam's head.

Jude cringed at the sound of Tommy's voice. She turned to see him, hurrying after them. Sadie pulled on Jude's arm in an attempt to run. Jude stood her ground. Sadie glared and yanked on her arm harder.

"Jude," she hissed. Jude shook her head no.

"Hey Tommy," Jude mumbled.

"Would you mind explaining to me about what happened up there?"

"Tommy, don't get like that with her. Look, Jude and I have plans, so why don't you run along," Sadie interrupted. "Lets go."

"Stay out of this, Sadie, I am talking to Jude," Tommy demanded.

"You will not talk to her like that. So she doesn't want your girlfriend to be her producer, get over it. Come on, Jude," Sadie hissed, with another pull on her arm.

"Sadie, for the love of God, shut up."

"Don't talk to her like that!" Jude snapped. She pulled herself from Sadie's grasp. She narrowed her eyes at Tommy.

Tommy groaned in annoyance. " We are talking tonight."

"No, we aren't I have a date with Spiederman!" Jude spat. She was surprised by the words that came out of her mouth. A date with Spiederman! Where the hell did that come from!

Spied looked just as surprised as Jude, Tommy, and Sadie. Jude opened and closed her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

"Yeah! Jude and I have a date. Whatever you have to say, Quincy will have to wait. Come on, Jude!" Spiederman announced and wrapped his arm around Jude's shoulder. Sadie smirked with satisfaction as Jude and Spiederman were lost in the hustle and bustle of New York City traffic.
