What a Day!

Tyler looked worried as he scanned the news report. Molly Sims had Josh Duhamel at her wedding on Saturday? After the blowup they had when Las Vegas was cancelled in midseason, Tyler had thought it was no big deal to run Silver Moose TV’s “Project Accessory” by the actor last Friday in LA. A cameo of the The Black Eyed Peas would be so perfect for the opening of the reality series. But they had to shoot fast—while Molly was on her honeymoon. If her Lifetime Cable “Project Accessory” hit the airwaves first—it would be a disaster!  What a day, he raged, as he speed-dialed Sunflower Woman.

“Dahlia, this is Tyler. We might have a problem.”

She could tell by his voice this was serious, “I’ve got zucchini bread just ready to come out of the oven, hold on a sec.” Tyler fumed as he paced. “OK, what’s happening?”

“Molly Sims might know about our Project Accessory.”

“HOW? I thought she was all focused on her wedding?” Dahlia rose from the kitchen table and was clearly ticked. Hosting this reality show was a dream of a lifetime, imagine going to up-and-coming designers and giving them challenges on shoes, purses and jewelry design. She couldn’t wait to start filming. And nothing tacky, like a rhinestone skull bracelet! “We need to start filming right away!” She practically screamed.

“David is in Minot, some poker game with his Twin’s buddies at Duhamel’s restaurant.” Tyler winced, he didn’t want the subject of blabbing to Duhamel to get out. “It’s probably four hours at the earliest for him to get to Mpls/St. Paul International and get a flight to the West Coast.”

Duhamel signaled “all-in” as he faced the last player in the hand, David. “Did you hear Molly and Scott are getting divorced?” He said casually to distract the producer.

“That’s unbelievable! They just got married two days ago, didn’t they?”

“Yeah, Stacy and I were in California for the ceremony. Just got back to North Dakota this morning. I saw Tyler, by the way. He said you have a new series in pre-production.”

David looked stunned, this information was closely held. And the last person they wanted to have find out was Molly. She could get her series up and going faster, they’d be out their whole investment. “I fold. I’d better call it a night.”

Josh smiled to himself. These whales came to Minot and let him wear his Las Vegas series gambler’s glasses. His vision was perfect—but the special effects glasses could read the deck. Suckers! He had been bluffing, not even a pair.

Too bad about Molly and Scott, but he hadn’t thought the marriage would last. Even if he hadn’t said anything to her about the series… He pulled out Tyler’s new watch, I wonder if Tyler has noticed it’s missing, he laughed. A little gaudy, are those rhinestones, or real jewels? What a day, he sighed in satisfaction.

He didn’t wish Molly had chosen him. No hard feelings, they’d just be friends… That whole shattered episode. Damn that still hurt. She’d called him shallow, self-centered, dishonest, a totally amoral creep. Well, she’d get what she has coming. Damn straight.

And that punk rocker from California that Tyler introduced him to that rolled her eyes at his rhinestone skull bracelet—he’d bide his time.
