HEY guys !! we’ve been getting messages on the main about the gossip blog and we’re gonna be getting it up and running again, but i wanted to post a little PSA before we do. before the gossip blog fell to the wayside there was a bit of ooc drama surrounding it, involving a mun that started sending messages to the blog targeting another mun’s character because they didn’t like the way their character was being perceived on here, and we want to make it clear that we will not allow that to happen again. the gossip blog is supposed to be fun !! we respond to the gossip sent to us the way any other gossip blog would respond ( how many have you seen that are nice to everyone ?? none, right ?? ) and since this blog is the media, it might twist things sometimes, or respond in a way that perhaps wasn’t the way you planned. none of what we write is a personal attack on you as a roleplayer or on your character as a character; it’s just a gossip blog.
THAT being said we understand that not everyone wants their characters slandered on the gossip blog so if you don’t want your character talked about please let us know !! if any messages are sent about them we’d be more than happy to delete them so you can have peace of mind but you gotta let us know !!
LASTLY, we’d like you guys to step up, too !! as someone’s who’s run my fair share of gossip blogs i gotta say it’s hard logging onto it every day when most of the messages are ‘who are your favorite people here’ or ‘who are the hottest guys’ like give us some dirt and we’ll make it worth your while !!
WE’RE gonna be going through the inbox and answering a few of the messages we have in there, but please, please send some good shit in for us to work with !!
AS promised, we’ve come to you with more ways to get involved and stir up some drama amongst you all. since this is a much more intrusive method, we’re going to do this by sign-ups only, so as to not ruin any plots you’ve worked hard on and would like to play out yourselves. if you’re daring enough to subject your stars to the very real invasiveness that comes with being in the spotlight, continue on:
IN our original post, we discussed our overheard and fashion faux pas interactions !! these two would require sign-ups, as they allow us to comment and/or expose anything going on in your threads, should we see it worth sharing. now note: this only applies to open threads, so if you’d really like for something to stay private for plot purposes and you’ve signed up, we recommend putting it in a private thread.
IF you choose to sign up, sub rosa press will be happily lurking in the shadows and eavesdropping with joy. you might want to bite your tongue if you’ve got loose lips: anything that’s juicy will be put on blast for everyone to see. and just because it doesn’t come right away, doesn’t mean they aren’t listening. the news could drop at any time.
IN fact, chances are it’ll come back around to bite you when you least expect it.
with that being said, please like this post if you’d like to be added to the list! please like on EACH character account that you’d like to be involved if you have multiple characters.
and on another note: if you’d like to plot anything with the sub rosa press, feel free to send a message to the main to work things out.
IF the title doesn’t say it all, we’ve got just the details for you. we were midway through collecting our information on the zennies, sifting through useless and/or boring tips when we came across one that was particularly interesting. and lucky for us, our informant was lovely enough to send in evidence. thanks for the tip, honey.
TURNS out that hollywood’s newest OTP #keliot is one big sham. we wanted to say we were surprised, but the more we thought about it.. well, we did ask eliot to stir things up for us, so we’ll take this as one sincere form of flattery here.
check out the official audio on our page over here. below, the transcripts:
ELIOT VARNER : DON’T use it all, i’m gonna need the rest of it to deal with little miss sunshine.
PENELOPE WEST : sobriety is not an option. you know they call her little miss sunshine for a reason, right? doesn’t exactly seem like your type.
E: she’s not. it’s just a bit of fun for the press – truth be told i think ripping out my fingernails would be less painful spending another second with her.
YIKES, harsh! and here we thought eliot was finding a heart.. maybe he really is as good as acting as he thinks he is. now there’s a plot twist! but it continues..
P: is she really that bad? i mean, she’s always been nice to me. i didn’t take her for the publicity stunt type, but i mean if it’s working for the two of you then why not?
E: oh she’s not the type. she’s got absolutely no idea what’s going on. makes it so much more genuine and fun.
P: why exactly are you leading her on then? is it just a publicity thing? ‘cause i’m sure there’s someone else that’s willing – people are always trying to boost their reps around here.
is that true, penelope? do tell us more.
E: i’m not leading her on per se – i’m strengthening her character. it makes us both look good so she can’t really complain. it wouldn’t be as authentic that way. besides, it’s working. people have nicknamed us keliot. isn’t that adorable?
it was adorable, until we figured out you were lying to us. we’ve got to say, we’re starting to get a little offended here.. using hollywood’s sweetheart as a pathetic shield for your even more pathetic career? you can do better, sweetie.
P: she’s famous without you. and looks good without you, too. so what i’m seeing is that you’re the only one benefiting from this arrangement. it would be adorable, probably, if i didn’t know what i do now! do what you want, though, but i’ll be here sipping my tea when it comes back to bite your ass.
E: she’s having a good time. finds me adorable for your information. did you not hear about out little smooch on the red carpet? it’s not gonna come back to bite me. after this night is over and the job is complete, i’ll let her down gently. she’ll be none the wiser and her ego will be saved.
WE think the irony in that bit is almost poetic, isn’t it? oh, eliot! don’t you know we’ll always be around to make certain it comes back to bite you? when we said entertain us, we were hoping for another red carpet fist fight or maybe a back room hookup, not manipulating one of the only decent people left at zenith. guess those rumours about you being a cold-hearted monster aren’t quite rumours at all. and penelope, if this was your best effort at being a good, sage friend: don’t quit your day job. again.
kenna, you may want to rethink hollywood. doesn’t seem to be working out for you, honey. we hear JCPenney needs a new designer for their pre-teen line, though. K for JCPenney, anyone?
IT’S safe to say that with this newfound information, #Keliot is canceled and eliot should probably hit LAX and catch the first flight back to the candian rock he crawled under.
THE WILD actions of parker hassan in recent years have been well documented throughout our pages, so it’s no surprise that the 24-year-old star of tv’s most beloved coming of age sitcom is expecting! since her romance with the severance star, luca costa, fizzled out, hassan has been seen with someone new on her arm almost every night, but rumor has it she always ends her night at the apartment of costar, j. dylan simon. hassan and simon have denied romance rumors since their characters got together on their show, but this reporter definitely saw sparks when the two were out clubbing last friday!
SO what do you think, readers? is j. dylan simon the baby daddy, or did the pregnancy cause the split between hassan and costa? keep reading sub rosa for more details!
ADMIN NOTE: welcome to sub rosa press, zenith studio’s official gossip blog. we’d like to give some details on how the gossip blog will work. as you’ve seen on parker’s page, this account will be popping into inboxes from time to time to stir up trouble. rumours could be fact or fiction, whether or not your characters owns up to it / anyone else believes it is up to you and everyone else.
IMPORTANTLY, though: at the end of each ask, it’ll be signed off with one of a few options that’ll specify the situation your muse is in. you can find the list on the “types of interactions” tab on the blog here. for example, parker’s asked was signed off with “GOOD LUCK!” which is indicated on the page as “NO ESCAPING — answer until they're satisfied or fight your way out and suffer the tabloid hit.” to keep things fun and for this to work, your muse must react to the situation accordingly!
LASTLY: we have two options on the list that are listed as “sign up required”. since we want to avoid any problems with godmodding and we wouldn’t like to spoil anyone’s time by trucking through plots you’d like to play out yourself. and so, since these are two more intrusive options, we’d like to give people the opportunity to sign up if they are willing!! be warned: ANYTHING said / done in an OPEN thread ( closed threads are safe ) will be free game for us to expose. if you’re a brave soul that’s willing to bite the bullet and sell your muse over to the paparazzi, we’ll be making a post for you all to sign up. we do not recommend doing this if you are particular about how your plots play out though we do encourage people to participate, since it’s guaranteed to be good fun!
let’s begin with the good. we’d give you the bad news first, but we’re sure the best of that is yet to come.
first off, despite all the comments, we’re devastated that our beloved king has #Confirmed the mutual love between him and bean. we’re still holding out for his better sense to kick in, buton the plus side, we will admit they do look dapper together.
parker apparently is not pregnant, which is a real bummer. there’s always next month though, isn’t there? we were really hoping for a baby doll-esque dress so we could celebrate parker jr. but alas, it’s squashed. she did give us a little kick ( no pun intended ) by getting into it with one of our interviewers. do we smell a penelope-vs-brynn smackdown round two on the horizon? we suggest you all steer clear of the blonde, no matter how she looks. nice choice on the versace, honey.
did anyone see cash fowler absolutely slay that red carpet? we’re thinking he belongs at the met gala next to show a celebrity how to actually be innovative. those gold boots are everything and we’re gonna need that nail tutorial, cash.
in comparison, noelle fell short in the shadow of cash, but we’ll agree that blue is her colour. we’re keeping an eye on that budding love between her and gavin faulker and we’re hoping that something will unfold between them tonight.
another shocker on the red carpet: kenna massey-hart and eliot varner? did anyone else see that or were we just dreaming? normally, we’re on top of the gossip but that’s a pairing we weren’t expecting. not even when we asked eliot to deliver. it’s working, though – they looked glam as ever, coordinated but not too matchy matchy. they looked quite cozy with each otherand he ducked in to save her from a pesky interviewer just as icing on the cake. connor who? we’ll get on that trending twitter tag: #keliot. the only thing we’re not supporting is eliot’s decision to wear his sunglasses all night. we miss your pretty face.
speaking of kenna, apparently all that time out of the limelight has done her some good. not only with a new beau but, as confirmed on ash devon’s instagram, he’s wearing a custom massey-hart design. we tried really hard to look for something we hated here, but we just can’t find one. the black tie & suit game is getting old – and boy does ash look good in pink.
nathaniel meyer came through to slay us all with that makeup game as always. that glittering eyeshadow doesn’t get old. apparently he came through with lincoln as his date, which is unexpected, but blessed. put a knife through those bean & lincoln rumours and be the only person to rock green glimmering eyes without looking like a cheap hooker. beautiful.
simon hong appeared with another bold red carpet choice. that vibrant red is something we’re adoring and he wears it like a runway model. no hate here. we’re just disappointed his personality doesn’t match up. there’s slight potential here: apparently he’s hit the z awards with the legend herself, brynn holloway. we’d think she would opt for someone a little more buff to keep her from another potential nose job, but hey. whatever floats your boat.
well, we’re all out of compliments for the time being, but we assure you we’re everywhere tonight and knowing how these events go, once the champagne starts getting passed around, the real show will begin. don’t forget to track our tag: #ZATZ for live updates as the show goes on. cheers!
