hey there ! i'm sophie bryan , secretary at FEARLESS studios. we're just gonna do a small interview to get to know you, mmkay ?
'fine by me'
okay , so , please state your name before we start anything .
'vivienne georgiana spencer.
wow , that's a really interesting name. does it mean anything ?
'well, my mother is a drama coach, and she's really big on the whole black-and-white scene. she's a huge 'i love lucy' fan, so she wanted to name me vivian. my father, on the other hand, is a fan of all things odd, so he decided to mix up the spelling and make it look french. as for georgiana, i just think that was a really bad form of torture to an unborn child; but i've learned to deal with the fact that i have what my friends back home call an 'old-person name' haha.'
hmm , awesome . are there other names that you preferred to be called by ?
'i go by viv or v, since vivienne is just such a mouthful to me at times
okay then, viv. before we start , i just want you to know that everything here is confidential , so don't be afraid to share things with me. now, describe yourself for me.
'i like thinking of myself as well-rounded. obviously, at twenty-one, i'm not exactly an expert at life, and all, but i think i have a good head on my shoulders, and i've been told i have the ability to keep my head out of the clouds. i'm very focused and dedicated. i really do try to give a hundred and ten percent, because if people are going to be trusting me --at least slightly-- to shape the future of entertainment, then that's the least they deserve. i'll admit, i'm not exactly the most open person in the world, and my social level is very low considering my profession, but i've learned how to be self-reliant. if i don't make as many friends as the next girl, it's because i don't feel i have a need for it. hence, i keep mostly to myself; still, i try to be professional. i am aware that acting isn't a field open to standoffish divas, so i try to be as friendly as most people. i am very hard on myself when i feel like i'm not giving the above-stated a hundred and ten percent, but my mother always said that we are our own motivator, and if being just a bit self-sardonic is my prime motivator, then so be it.'
is there anything about your personality that you don't like ?
'i can be very self-righteous at times. i have very high standards of what a decent human being should be; and i guess i'm sort of condemning myself to never making lasting relationships because i ask for so much perfection. i can also be overly-sarcastic to the point of being annoying. i guess i don't have such a great sense of humor, because most of my attempts at it come out dry. because of this i come off as really blunt, which is considered really bitchy, but i've never been one to apologize for things i meant to say. i guess you can call me very liberal in the verbal area, which is why i get myself into a bit of trouble at times.'
you don't sound that bad , haha . now, do you mind telling me things about your past ? i'm curious .
'i was born in farbrook, connecticut. people always thought i was born to be an actress because my mother was a drama coach and my father was a screenplay writer, but they never really pushed me into anything; ergo, i spent the first thirteen years of my life wanting to be a doctor. my dream was attending harvard med and becoming a surgeon. i just thought it was cool, the idea of cutting people open and seeing real, human hearts and all. haha. but when i was old enough to really pay attention to what my mother was doing with these kids she coached, i really started considering acting as an actual career. having a drama coach for a mother really, really helps in the whole self-fulfillment facet that came afterward. she was a great deal of help with the whole process. i bet that without her, i would have felt like hell was freezing over.'
wow , interesting . now , who makes up your family ?
'well, i'm an only child at the moment, so i have a really small family unit. it's just my mother joanne and my father charles. i also have a beautiful golden retriever named max. he's my baby, so yes, he counts as family to me. haha.'
nice family you got . now , how did you get into the hollywood business ?
'my mother tried very hard to get me signed. i think she exhausted all possible options before my aunt --who, by the way, i love more than chocolate-- called an I.O.U with a friend who knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who worked in this small agency. it was just one of those transitional, in-between places where you're actually signed on to something, but your opportunities aren't as great. i got into that little agency at fifteen. the year i turned seventeen, my dad was hired to help write a screenplay for this one film, which was expected to be a total blockbuster. turns out one of the actors on the film had contacts in fearless studios, and he did my father --or should i say me?-- the favor of putting in a good word for me. it was a stroke of luck, really, to be signed to fearless. i can't really take the credit for it. my parents did most of the dirty work.'
you must love your job , right ? i would love to do what you do . what interests you the most about it though?
'oh, yes, it's absolutely amazing. i think just the fact that i get to do something i love everyday is a blessing in itself. i mean, how many people can say they reached one of their biggest goals before twenty-five? i may not into making friends with the other stars i encounter, and all, but the fans, i must say, are a very good part of the whole experience. knowing that someone looks up to you is such a great feeling. i'm sure we all grew up wanting to be like someone. hey, i grew up wanting to be like grace kelly. and the thought that i can be someone's grace kelly is great. but of course, acting comes with its usual perks. i'm as much inclined to star treatment as the next girl. haha.'
but it can't be that easy . there must be a few things that you hate about being famous ?
'well, of course, there's the whole 'no-privacy' issue i'm sure most of my co-workers agree with. it's like, can't i go to the store in sweatpants without being on star magazine's worst dressed list? hello, it's not like i'm going to walk the red carpet in them, thank you very much. the criticism you have to go through in this industry really brings you down. you have to be aware of everything, how you look, how you act, how you speak. i think the biggest issue is the fact that people stop looking at you like a human being, you know? they make it seem like 'celebrity' is some distinct species. they totally forget that we're also human beings with flaws. we never said we weren't going screw up once in a while. on the contrary, i think that as an actor, you screw up more than most people.'
interesting . do you look up to anyone for advice or anything ?
'every time i'm having a rough day, or going through a rough spot, or need to talk to someone, my dad is always there. he's a really good listener, and he has the sense of humor i always wanted. he can make me laugh in the most dire situations, and sometimes, that's all i need to get through a bad day, you know? just a laugh now and again. he's a realist, and his honesty is very refreshing. so, if i can't be like grace kelly, then i'll be fine being like my dad.'
aw , that's nice. now, list some things you enjoy doing on your spare time, if you have any .
'reading is a big hobby of mine. i like english classics and french literature. music is also a big part of my life. i think it just expresses so many thoughts and emotions, so my ipod is basically one of my best friends. running is a big outlet for me. sometimes, i just run to clear my head. i'm also really big on swimming, especially since california summers are so hot. it's really relaxing after a stressful day. during the winter, i like skiing and ice skating.'
there must be some things that you hate as well , right?
'oh gosh, i have so many pet peeves! sometimes, when all i want is peace and quiet, which is most of the time, there is just so much noise! it's like the universe is out to get me! haha. now, i'm a vegetarian, so meat really grosses me out. i think i should be, like, the peta spokesperson or something, because i just hate it when people wear real fur. a little consideration for the undefenseless animals, please? another thing that really bothers me is people who think getting wasted and hooking up with the first random person they see is a way of artistic expression. honestly, if you don't want the paparazzi saying something dumb about you, then why do completely dumb things?'
awkward question coming up , heh . how's your sex life ?
'haha. oh, wow. didn't see that one coming. well, i'm not in a relationship right now, and one night stands aren't really my thing, so i'm not getting much of it at the moment. haha.'
so you're not a virgin?
'no, i am not a virgin.
now, are you in a relationship with anyone?
'no, not at the moment. to tell you the truth, i've never been big on the whole dating scene. i think i've had just one serious boyfriend so far. i mean, obviously, there's the random schoolgirl-like celebrity crush everyone has on someone else, but, really, who doesn't have one of those these days? i tell you, i bet half of the teenage girl population has the hugest crush on the jonas brothers. seriously, what is it with them? they go through girls faster than a paper shredder goes through paper.'
that's basically our interview, thanks vivienne. but before you leave, is there anything else we should know?
'i really, really dislike about, say, approximately half of hollywood's 'starlets'. can't the industry get less snobby people to represent them?'
oh wow , that's one for the books. just kidding vivienne. we won't tell, promise. thanks for sitting down with us, and have fun working on your latest project !
'thank you so much. and i'll see if i can get you a few inside spoilers next time around. haha.'

HEY ! i'm charlotte and i'm in complete charge of vivienne spencer. i've been roleplaying for three and a half years of my sixteen years of walking on pacific standard time
outfit Let's make this our story. Let's live in the glory. Time, it fades away, Precious as a song. Cause someday we'll be gone ---------------------------------------------------------- |
[/blockquote][/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table][/size][/center]Apparently, Chyler was a having a rough time telling her story, because she paused after every couple of words. She even had to urge Chy on a couple of times. She had to admit, it was one heck of an interesting story. Who knew little Chyler Steele would have the hots for the guy her best friend was pining over? Della chuckled quietly as she chewed on this piece of information, along with her chips.
"Okay, so let me get this straight," she started, pointing at Chyler with a potato chip. "For some odd reason I don't want to know about, you were splashing around like a poor kitten in the lake. Enter prince charming. He saves you, and you, presumably, make a total loser out of yourself in front of him. Sounds like a typical boy-meets-girl story, except for the fact that said white knight is the boy your best friend is completely googly about." Della pauses to chuckle at this again. "Who needs soap operas when you have life? You get plenty of twisted drama without blowing up your electricity bill. Not that we pay the electricity bill anyway. Not yet, at least."
Della knew Chyler probably wanted to maul her with a pillow right about now. She had asked for advice, not a lecture summarizing her obvious predicament, side-notes and all. It was just such a priceless story! Dells hadn't even gotten herself into a stint like that! Well, now that she was done basking in such an odd story, Della decided to do what she had agreed to do. She would offer her ever-needed advice. If she could think of something...
Dammit, alright. Think of something to say, she thought to herself. What would she do if she were Chyler? No, Della wasn't anywhere near being Chyler, which meant she couldn't give Della Advice. She had to step into Chyler's geeky shoes and think of something from there.
"Alright, so, telling your friend is so completely out of the question," she started. "Anyone who says honesty is the best policy must have shit coming out from their openings. If you tell her, she'll throw a bitch fit." This much Della knew. They were girls, for God's sake! Their first instinct was to throw bitch fits when they felt threatened. That, or, cry. But in this case, both things were bad.
"What you need to realize first and foremost is that if this guy just happens to pay more attention to you than your friend, it isn't your fault. It just means you're more adorable than said friend. Got it? Because you honestly just asked me to help you get the guy, and you can't do that if you're gonna be all 'concerned' about what your friend will think every two seconds. If she really is your friend, she won't let a guy come between you. She'll be happy for you. A little pissed at first, sure, but she'll get over it; if she's a good friend. See, there's this... innate Best Friend Rule Book. Rule Number One is, and will always be: hoes over bro's. So if she's gonna be a little bitch cause you're pursuing your own happiness, then she isn't worth a goldfish's breath."
Ah, the harsh realities of the Friendship Rule Book. This was exactly why Della didn't have many girlfriends. Most girls spurned the book! But enough about her. She needed to get Chyler to see that she needed to get her hands dirty sometime in life. If she wanted to catch this guy's attention, she needed to show an inkling of self-confidence. She couldn't let herself be distracted by the prospect of friend troubles. She had to pick one: the girl or the guy. And if the girl really cared, she wouldn't mind if Chyler picked the guy. Right...? Or was this just another exhibit of how twisted Della's conscience had become over the years?
