Gossips #5

(Year 230, Spring) Her is another issue of gossips from Antoinette Morck!

- Today I'm happy to share tons of gossips with you! Let's (almost) ignore the royal family for now, and rather check rumors from other corners of Mazaloom! His Majesty the King is busy addressing equality, but the announced press conference has not yet taken place and my in-palace contacts keep silence. But don't worry, we've got so much to focus on elsewhere!

So, let's start in Del Sol Valley, still the very heart of showbiz.

Who was observed at Mirage Park, if not the highly popular singer-songwriter Suzi Sushi (40)? And who was she tending to in romantic manners, if not Prince Ace (53)? Wow, I had no idea, and neither has the Queen, obviously, as there are rumors that Queen Venezia sees Prince Ace as a potential future spouse to Crown Princess Emireza!

Prince Ace is King Tarriot's cousin, and he is a couple decades older than the Crown Princess, but he is still looking fresh and we all thought he was still single. Well, perhaps he is single and this observation was nothing romantic at all. He lives at Suzi Sushi's place, but she is letting a few rooms and also Lord Leon de Cavalier is among her current lodgers. We don't know who is sleeping where, though...

Still in Del Sol Valley...

The numerous talent agencies seem to be all over town, some doing poorly while others seem to have a better grip on both the producers and the hoards of hopeful Actors and Models.

Well Suited Talent Agency, Inc. is probably the most serious agency and they have been around for a very long tine. They now opened a new office at the Gym. Perhaps they like to connect with well fit models? You can stop by every day between 10 and 11 without appointment, and for a few Simoleons you can also have your new promotion pictures taken.

Another observation was made at Mirage Park, where two principals were observed exchanging a few words. It was obvious that Abraham Golden (68), Principal at Butler Academy is a fan of global star and Actress, Judith Ward (66). Ward is Principal at The Showbiz Academy, next door to Golden's establishment. Luckily, the two academies aim towards very different target groups.

Judith Ward has been extremely productive lately. Not only did she marry and give birth to twins - where only one baby lived, unfortunately, but she also has the lead role in two movies coming to theatre houses all over the nation right after Summer. I'll dig up some more news regarding those premiers until next time!

Now, let's head over to Newcrest!

Lord Leon de Cavalier (35), recently guesting the Simmerville Show, and now actual as a panel member at «The Bagged Talent» show, is engaged! The lucky one is his long time girl friend, Bonita Roxenfox (34) from Old Crest in Newcrest. She is a single child, descending from one line from the House of Roxenfox that previously held titles like the Lunderclam barony and the Crest barony. Bonita is currently in University, but being a single child she will eventually inherit the old Roxenfox Hall, where her parents currently resides. Btw - her mother is the  museum curator Nancy D. Roxenfox.

The happy couple celebrated their engagement at a restaurant in Oasis Springs. Lord Leon is 1st in line to the Cavalier dukedom, but it's more than likely that his older brother, Duke Charlopold, will have more children over the next years. Lord Leon is currently building his Actor career with a supporting role in Judith Ward's upcoming «Killing My Shadow» - where he is actually the gentleman seen on the movie poster!

We can't skip Tartosa this time, either:

Because of it's beauty and warm climate, Tartosa seems to attract the famous people constantly, especially the single ones, or those already living out their romance.

Victor Fabe Altham (49) moved to Tartosa few years ago, and he is currently renting Piccola Luce, owned by HRH King Tarriot. Fabe (which is his author signature) is an aspiring fictional writer, still waiting for the big break. This week he was seen with a new woman, who must be the recently grown up daughter of Lawyer Anita vD. Ferney, Oasis Springs.

The young woman is Cathrina Ferney (31) Just stopping for a chat would not be enough to confirm a new relation, but a few hours later the couple was seen again on the beach, having fun swimming and building sand castle. It seems obvious that they spent time together because they enjoyed each other's company.

Another Tartosa resident is Princess Hortenzia (56), one of the sisters often referred to as the Party Princesses. Well, of the two, Princess Hortenzia is the one who pretty much withdrew from the limelight. She is married to Chalbert de Froux Mester Sangiovese (66) and with 2 soon grown up children,  Floria (23) and Barros (20), the family runs an old nectar farm. Royal critics did suspect that she stepped out of the limelight to regain some goodwill from King Tarriot. Long ago the Party Princesses were stripped from their HRH titles, but kept their Princess titles, and both were excluded from all royal events, both family and officially. This was initiated by the former Monarch, Queen Evez, but the current King Tarriot has totally ignored that old conflict. There's no signs that he plans reestablishing contact.

Last week Princess Hortenzia was modelling for some cherry nectar producer. Does it mean  she is giving up the royal connection and will recapture the spotlights? Time will tell, as always.

Next rumor comes from Windenburg!

Her name might not be familiar to you, as she normally keeps a low profile, but in Windenburg she is well known, and recently she even guested the Simmerville Show. So, a walker did take the picture below with his cellphone:

Nothing was confirmed, but the rumor has it that Principal at Summerfield High, Hettie P. Fartingham (50) is dating Windenburg Politician, Ingar Wunderberg (51)! It comes as a shock to most locals, as the two were normally seen as rather different. Wunderberg just got a seat in the People Chamber for the next 5 years period, representing the RIGHT party. It might be Mrs. Fartingham's last chance to have a child, as her 1st marriage lasted very short and resulted in no offspring. She inherited the boarding school that she is now running, and we can't blame her from longing for her own little family.

We're heading to the city!

You can't have missed that the upcoming TV show series «The Bagged Talent» premiers tomorrow! I can hardly wait! It's also known that the hostess will be the young and yet undescribed Khloe Adrian (25) from Fashion District in San Myshuno.

Yesterday Khloe Adrian was seen with Gerda Savage Ruthfield (35), who is about to take over the G.R.A.N. Talent Agency, which was founded and run by Gerda's mother, the legendary Goldie Ruthfield, for a long time.

Were the two discussing a possible new career for Khloe? Or are they just old friends? Khloe will be very busy with weekly shows this Winter, but perhaps new projects await in the future?

Another quite well known San Myshuno face has tricked us all, regarding his family life:

Diego Lobo (50), art critics, performing artist and Principal of Casbah Art School, has married, had a child, and is now divorced. I've mentioned his child before, but then I had no idea that this family development was nothing but some art project of his! Rumors have it that the divorce was planned from the very start!

The woman who gave Diego an heir is Dora Maria Floretti (53), a Yoga Instructor originally from Gloomville, but aged 6 she moved with her divorced mother to San Myshuno. It's not confirmed whether she is still residing with Diego and their child.

And now, should we pay some attention to this young woman?

This is Celina Greco (29), a teen from Oasis Springs and senior student at The Showbiz Academy high school.  Celine has studied music and not acting, but what she will use her education for is unclear. She is also oledest child of Natalie Greco Mester Bedrock, meaning she will some day inherit her mother's title and become a member of the low nobility.

The interesting thing though, is that Celine was always a punk oriented girl. Will she now become the first punk nobility? Or will young adulthood force her to formalize her appearance?

Finally in San Myshuno:

A rather well known creature was observed sneaking about in San Myshuno's Arts Quarter the other night: Jane Gargoyle! She became a widely known TV face when she guested the final season of the long going TV series «The Free Will Show». She is now featured in «The Simmerville Show». All along she has behaved as if she was a vampire, it has actually become her trademark, so to speak. I wonder if she is taking this a bit too far now, as she was obviously walking the city streets alone, but still playing that role. If she thought she was not observed, I see no reason why she should walk like that...?

Closing this issue with this week's hottest topic among TV fans all over the nation:

Like I already mentioned, «The Bagged Talent» premiers tomorrow, December 4th. Commercial boards have been advertising this new 6 shows series for a while already, and I assume this might be one of Simmerville Studio's better promoted productions ever.

The show will be hosted by the newcomer Khloe Adrian, and an expert panel features jazz legend Olivia Clump and actor Lord Leon de Cavalier.  

Will Khloe be allowed to keep her green hair detail? Will she be wearing a long dress, or is the setting a tad less formal? Above is a snap from the main makeup room at Simmerville Studio.

And you probably noticed the many boards already: 

8 contestants wearing paper bags will perform various skills to win the top prize of §50,000. Viewers can vote for 72 hours following each show. I can't wait to see who the contestants actually are!

I'll be back with more gossips in less than a month!
