Chapter 7

Practical Joke.

“Enrique Iglesias...that’s the name on every girl, and some boys lips these days. Thanks to his new album Practical Joke. It has skyrocketed in the charts within a week of it’s release and is currently in the number 3 position! The billboards hasn’t seen such a fast rising since Rihana’s debut album! The videos have received rave reviews.” Guiliana Ransic exclaimed.

“Yes, and every critic seems pleased with this album. They’re apparently calling it the best album by Enrique and they say it might be the best selling album of the year!” Ryan Seacrest added.

“Enrique is very happy with these reports and gave us an interview.”

“Yes E News has an exclusive interview with the man himself. About his music, the great response, the sales of his album, and about his status. Is he single? Or has some lucky woman snatched him up?”

“Here’s the exclusive interview Kristin snatched for us with Enrique!”

“Hello!” Kristin appeared on the screen with Enrique sitting calmly next to her. “Kristin reporting for E News with the Hunk himself! Enrique Iglesias....” She turned to Enrique and gave him a smile.

“Hello.” Enrique waved to the cameras.

“So Enrique, life seems great for you! You were gone almost a year! We didn’t hear from you, and now we have this amazing album climbing the charts with rocket speed! We don’t even know what hit us. Every kid is singing the songs from you’re album. Practical Joke. Yet nothing seems funny about the way you’ve conquered the critics and audience’s hearts alike.”

“Have I conquered yours?” Enrique teased.

“Well, my husband would kill me if I said it but, yes! You have along with a billion other women in this world!”

“Well, that’s nice to know. But my music is all about going out and finding you’re love. Not falling in love with me.”

“Could you blame us?” Kristin sighed. “Well, we heard the title song, practical joke, was written completely by you, and was inspired from an Asian song of the same name? Is that true?”

“Yes, absolutely. I had this beautiful melody written down, and all I needed were the right lyrics and an eye catching title for the album. I did not know that I would be killing two birds with one stone, but when I heard the song and read the lyrics, I was floored. That was it, I thought. Those were the perfect lyrics and ‘practical joke’ was a perfect name for my album.”

“How did you come about this song? Do you normally watch Asian videos?”

“Well no. But I have begun to.” Enrique blushed and tried to hide it. Thankfully Kristin didn’t notice.

“Then how did you come about this song?”

“Well, my manager brought his song along one day to work, and his son was playing this song. I did not understand the lyrics, but the music was beautiful. I asked him what the lyrics meant, and when he told me, I grabbed a pen, and wrote down the lyrics. Later I rephrased them, added something, removed something, and voila, I had my song.”

“Well, that is really something!” Kristin exclaimed. “And the video too was inspired by that video right?”

“Yes of course! That video was funny, romantic, beautiful, all mixed together. How could I not use it? It was like a mini-movie was it not?” He grinned. “But the lead in our video couldn’t compare to the lead in that one.” He blushed again. This time too Kristin didn’t notice, and he thanked his lucky stars.

“I heard, or is this just a rumour? That you are again going to take a break?”

“Yes that’s right! I had a concert in America and England. I’m too old now to go touring around the world. I found a special place to vacation at, and I’m going to go there and spend another year or two.”

“Where exactly is this vacation going to take place?” Kristin asked slyly.

“As if I’d tell you that, so you can follow me with your paparazzi!”

“Oh well! Worth a try. But we’d find you.”

“You always do.”

“And now, the question everyone, and me, wants to hear an answer to...are you single?”

“Haha! What does that have to do with my album sales.”

“Nothing, but we want to know.” Kristin smiled at him, and hoped he would answer.

“Yes...but not for long.”

“Ahh! Is there someone waiting in the cards?”

“Probably, but I wouldn’t tell you.” Enrique grinned. He liked this woman, she wasn’t pushy like the other reporters, and she actually asked him meaningful questions before asking him about his status. This was comforting.

“Well, I cant force it out of you anyway, time’s up! Back to you Guiliana and Ryan!”

“Oh! So close and yet so far away!” Ryan exclaimed.

“Well, that’s all we have time for you folks, see you next time with lots of Hollywood buzz. This is Guiliana Ransic...”

“And Ryan Seacrest...”

“Signing off!”

“Where do you think he’s going for the vacation?” Guiliana asked Ryan as they walked toward the dressing room.

“Probably Asia.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Didn’t you see the blush?”

“What blush?” Guiliana asked confused.

“He blushed every time she mentioned Asia. Enrique cant hide his emotions. It’s too obvious he has someone back in Asia. That’s why he said he’s not going to be single for long. Maybe he has a girlfriend in Asia he’s going to propose to.”

“That’s impossible! We would know if that was the case. We know what happens in a celebrity’s life before it happens to them!” Guiliana shrugged. “Besides, he said he was single.”

“That must’ve just been a lie.”

“Why would he say he’s single and then say not for long? We’d still assume he has a girlfriend then right?”

“Look, I got more things to worry about than Enrique. Paris Hilton’s throwing a party and she didn’t invite me!”

“Does she even know you?”

“Of course she does! I’m Ryan Seacrest! Everyone knows me.”

“Really?”

“Well maybe not the ones in Antartica...”

“Haha! You have a big ego Seacrest!”

“That goes miles in this business honey.”

“Well, what are you going to do about the party?”

“Well, if I don’t get that invite, I’d gate crash!”

“They have lists and everything you know.”

“I’m THE Ryan Seacrest...and plus if they don’t let me in I’d give them bad publicity on my radio show, and on E!”

Guiliana just looked at him as if he were crazy...”I know I know...you rock!”
