My Atttempt at Creativity

ACT I

Scene 1

A woman in her mid-20s named Elle is walking around the streets of Hollywood on a job search. She is carrying a large mocha latte and her resume in a leather folder. A large, Mary Poppins tote bag hangs from her arm.

ELLE:

OH MY GOD! Harvey Levin! Mr. Levin!

Elle takes off wildly running down the street after the creator of TMZ. She nearly tackles him to the ground as she spills her coffee all over his dry clean only shirt. She juggles the folder, but catches it. She then fishes around in her purse while talking.

ELLE:

Hi, hi Mr. Levin. Oh my god! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to knock you over. I just got a little excited. You are definitely my icon! I am so sorry. Here let me help you.

Elle backs Harvey Levin into a corner as she dabs at a his shirt with a tissue she found in her over flowing purse.

ELLE:

I can't believe I am talking to Harvey Levin. I absolutely love TMZ! I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. My name is Elle, and I have wanted to meet you since 2005 when you started TMZ. Working at TMZ is definitely my dream job.

Mr. Levin, to me, celebrities are like mythical creatures in the same category as unicorns, Big Foot, and the Loch Ness monster. Sightings of celebrities are typically rare for most people, and photographic proof is always a necessity. Those normal people, who are lucky enough to achieve celebrity photos and autographs through various methods of harassment, treat the prize like a pot of gold. I keep all of my celebrity memorabilia in a special scrapbook I made. It has autographs from the Backstreet Boys, pictures I took of Tina Fey when she was eating dinner, and a lock of Jennifer Aniston's hair that I found on eBay. Anyways, I have to tell you, Mr. Levin, TMZ is the greatest public service that could ever be provided to these regular people which is why it is my dream job.

Although, I do have to confess, Mr. Levin, I am completely celebrity obsessed! I always know the rehab facility du jour and the boy dilemmas of all the A-list "it" girls. You could ask me anything about any celebrity and I would know it. Ninety percent of the time I would know it long before E! News or Perez Hilton. You see, Mr. Levin, I was born to work at TMZ! I know and love everything about celebrities, and my credentials are perfect with a double major in photo journalism and speech communications from an ivy league school. I was made for this job! Please, please hire me! My life will not be complete without the opportunity to photograph and report on Lindsay Lohan from the bushes outside her halfway house. I would gladly be run over by Kim Kardashian's SUV if it meant I got the perfect picture of her ring less finger. I am begging you to hire me! I could even use the money from the job to buy you a new shirt. I am so sorry about that again, but what do you say? Are you going to hire me?
