Chapter 17 - The Mulder Boys's Birthday Bash

[ DS ]

The Saturday of the Mulder Boys’s Birthday Bash, I find myself standing in front of my closet with the girls, frowning at my selection of dresses. “What about this one?” Holly fingers a yellow sundress.

“Nah, it’s pretty but she looks like she’s going to church in that one.” Sarah tugs on a dress with a daisy print on it.

“Are you joking? That one’s even more Virgin Mary than the yellow one!”

Alex reaches into my closet and pulls out a navy two-piece dress I bought on a whim a few years back, but have never worn since then. “How about this one?”

“A, that’s perfect! It’s classy, yet sexy, just what we’re going for!” Sarah shoves me towards my bathroom. “Go try it on, D! And wear those nude heels with it.” I take the dress out of Alex’s arms and the shoes from Sarah and change into the outfit quickly. The straps drape across my arms just below my shoulders and it’s low cut just enough for my comfort. My cross necklace gleams against my skin and I decide to keep it on for tonight. Since it’s a two-piece, there’s just a sliver of skin visible between the top and the skirt, which flares out and swishes around my knees.

Slipping on my heels I step outside and the girls gasp in unison. “Yes, that’s the one! How does it feel D?” Holly pulls me over and I twirl in front of the full-length mirror, smiling as the skirt billows out around my legs.

“It’s beautiful, I love it. Thanks, girls!”

“The Mulder boys won’t know what hit ‘em when you show up wearing that!” Sarah winks at me suggestively and I roll my eyes at her.

“You know exactly that that’s not why I’m wearing it!”

Now it’s Sarah’s turn to roll her eyes. “Yeah sure, just keep telling yourself that…”

“Come on guys, we’re already unfashionably late. I’ll just call us a cab, are you ready?”

I grab a shawl against the cold and my purse before we make our way downstairs to wait for the cab. When we arrive at the house, we can already hear faint party noises from the backyard and my heart’s beating hard against my chest when we walk up the front walkway to ring the doorbell. My gaze wanders around the front of the house, the glass veranda on the right catching my eye. It’s completely different from our beach house, but it’s beautiful all the same.

The door opens to reveal Principal Skinner with a glass of whiskey in his hand and he holds the door open for us. “Hello ladies, come on in! You look extraordinarily beautiful tonight! Follow me, the party’s out back in the yard.”

He leads us through the house and I notice that it’s got polished hardwood floors and is furnished with antiques, giving it a cozy feel. We walk past the glass veranda which houses the dining room on the right and the living room with a massive couch to the left, which opens into the kitchen. The wooden staircase to the first floor is tucked away in the back. Skinner points us to the bathroom as we walk past it before we step outside onto the back porch and my breath catches in my chest.

They really went all out on this party, there’s string lights twinkling all around the hedge and in the trees, catered food and a bar in one corner, round tables in the middle and a massive dancefloor with a DJ in the other corner. Holly whistles through her teeth. “Man, they sure know how to live it up. Why are our parties never this nice? Jesus, I think they invited half the town for this.”

“Well, that’s on me I guess, they don’t know many people around here yet so I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to make new acquaintances,” Principal Skinner admits but I’m only half listening because my eyes are too busy scanning the crowd. Sarah nudges my hip and tilts her head over to the bar and I’m embarrassed that she knows exactly who I was looking for. There he is, deep in conversation with Skinner’s wife, laughing at something she said.

He’s wearing a dark blue suit with a white dress shirt and a crimson tie and while the sight of him in a plain t-shirt with jeans are enough to make my heart skip a beat, him in that suit is going to give me a heart attack.

“Would you look at that D, you color coordinated, matchsiiiesss.” Holly whispers in my ear and I give her a pointed look.

“Shut up, Holly!” I hiss at her.

Just then, he looks over at us standing on the elevated porch and I can practically feel the slight burn his eyes leave as they travel up and down my body, giving me the once over. I hope he has a defibrillator. He flashes us a smile and raises his hand in a small wave, then continues his conversation with Arlene Skinner.

“Come on, girls, let’s put the presents on the gift table and get something to eat and drink.” ‘Eat, drink and be merry for today you may die.’

At the bar we sidestep the wine for now, since we haven’t eaten yet and I don’t want to embarrass myself by getting tipsy and stumbling over my heels. With my luck, I’ll just faceplant at a certain someone’s feet. ‘Huh, maybe he’ll catch me in those strong arms of his, though, if you’re really lucky…‘

When he spots our little circle, Felix comes over to us wearing a boy version of his dad’s suit, only with short dress pants and sneakers better suited for running around with the other kids. He’s tugging a tall woman along, with wavy brown hair and a kind face that seems somewhat familiar, but I’m not sure where to place her. His face is flushed and he beams at us happily.

“You came!”

“Of course we came, happy birthday Felix!” Sarah raises her glass to him and we all chime in with our Happy birthdays. The woman he came over with also raises her glass and ruffles his hair affectionately.

“This is my teacher Miss Anderson, and Miss Carter and Miss Spencer and Miss Scully,” he introduces us while the woman takes her turn shaking our hands. She regards me curiously and her lips curve into a smile.

“I’m Sam, Fox’s sister and Felix’s favorite aunt!” His sister, that’s why her face seemed so familiar. “So you’re the enigmatic Miss Scully I’ve heard so much about. It’s so nice to finally meet you!” She notices the surprised look on my face. “Only good things, I promise. Felix won’t shut up about you when we talk on the phone.” I laugh, mostly because of the exasperated look Felix gives his aunt at revealing his secret.

“Glad to hear it, we’re having a lot of fun with him during recess! Nice to meet you, Sam. I really like your dress, did you get it around here?”

“Thanks, but no, I got it back in LA, I’m only visiting for a couple of days, I just couldn’t miss my two handsome boys’s birthday bash!”

“Handsome, huh? You spoil me sis!” Her brother has snuck up behind her, throwing his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his side and planting a kiss on her cheek. “Hi ladies, thanks for coming, you look very lovely today!” We raise our glasses to him as well, wishing him a happy birthday and my drink spills over a little in my shaky hand. I pray that no one notices.

“Sam I’m so sorry to drag you away, but can you help me out and check if everything’s alright with the caterers?” They excuse themselves and we decide it’s time for us to check out what said caterers have prepared, our stomachs already rumbling. Hopefully, the butterflies in my stomach will make room.

----------

[ Sam ]

After checking with the caterers inside, I return to the party, standing on the back porch to watch everyone have a good time and I’m secretly a little proud of myself. Planning the party from all the way across the country had been stressful to say the least, but it turned out great. My gaze wanders around the tables and it catches on the tiny red-head and her three friends, who seem to be having a great time, laughing and chatting at their table.

I’ve heard many stories from Felix over the last few weeks but what surprised me the most was the way my brother looks at her. When I saw the way his whole face lit up when she walked in, I realized that Felix was not the only one taken with Miss Scully. She’s not his usual type - not that she’s not pretty, she is, very much so - but she’s actually nice. A vast improvement from the piece of work that’s his ex-wife, let me tell you. I wonder if he’s thought about asking her out yet.

----------

[ DS ]

After dinner, we’re treated to another visit from the little Mulder, who’s breathless from the game of tag with his friends. “Hey Felix! Are you having a good time?” He nods enthusiastically, trying hard to catch his breath.

“Yeah, auntie Sam did a really good job! I can’t wait for my cake, she said it’s really huuuge! And the DJ is playing aaaall my favorite songs, too!”

Suddenly shy, he shuffles his feet a bit and then, gathering all his courage, he looks up at me and holds out a tiny hand. “Miss Scully, will you dance with me?”

“Of course, birthday boy, come on.”

----------

[ Sam ]

Once I’m finished making another round of checking that everything’s running smoothly, I spot my brother standing at the bottom of the stairs, watching the party. Stopping on the last step, I wrap my arms around his waist and rest my chin on his shoulder. “Great party, huh?”

“Yeah, you did a pretty good job sis. And Skinner’s managed to gather up quite a crowd. Almost everyone’s here tonight!”

“You know what I think? You’d be just as happy if it were only you and one other special guest here tonight.” He turns his head a little, frowning.

“What?” I motion my head to the woman who’s currently talking to Felix at her table. “Aah. Is it that obvious?” I snort derisively

“Are you kidding me, bro? I’ve known you all my life, I can see the hearts in your eyes from a mile down the road. Have you asked her out yet?”

“No… I’m so nervous around her I can barely string more than a few coherent words together. She probably thinks I’m a huge idiot. I asked her if she believes in aliens, Sam!” We watch as Felix holds his hand out to her, asking her to dance with him. He’s so cute I can barely stand it.

“I’m sure that’s not true. You should take a page out of your son’s book though, boy’s got game!” My brother laughs as the somewhat mismatched pair sways on the dancefloor.

I release him from my embrace, an idea popping into my head. “You should go and cut in.” Now he fully turns to me and looks at me like I’m crazy.

“What? No…” He’s making his panic face.

“What yes! Carpe diem, right now!” I give him a gentle shove in the direction of the dancefloor. “Go! I’ll handle the music.”

----------

[ DS ]

Of course, I can’t say no to the little charmer and we make our way to the dancefloor and I sway with Felix in time to the music, twirling him around until he giggles.

“You look really handsome tonight, Felix!”

He smiles shyly and narrowly avoids stepping on my shoes. “Thank you! You look really beautiful too.”

“You’re absolutely right, son. Mind if I cut in?” A tingle shoots up my spine at the sound of his voice and Felix nods, stepping back. His dad holds out his hand to me. “A dance for the other birthday boy?”

“Well technically, it’s not your birthday for a few days.” I tease him, but I slip my hand into his and he spins me against him, wrapping his right arm around my waist, clasping my left hand in his tightly. The DJ fades into a new song and I groan inwardly as Sonny and Cher’s “I got you babe!” starts droning from the speakers. We sway for a few beats before he whips me across the dancefloor in a quick waltz. Over his shoulder I can see countless pairs of eyes following us but for once, tonight, I don’t care because all I can feel is the burn of his fingers resting on the sliver of exposed skin of my waist and the tickle of the hair at the back of his neck against my hand. God, this guy can waltz.

On the last few notes, he twirls me out with a grin on his face, tugging on my hand to bring me back in and then he dips me back for the grand finale. Dips me. The move takes me by surprise and I laugh, breathless when he brings me upright again.

“I don’t think you’re supposed to dip your lady in a waltz!” I realize my Freudian slip a fraction of a second too late. ‘Your lady? What the heck, Dana.’

He just shrugs nonchalantly, still grinning. “If I fancy to dip my lady, I will dip my lady! Thank you for this dance, Miss Scully!” He bows his head and I chuckle, curtsying. “The pleasure was all mine, Mr. Mulder!” ‘Who ARE you?’

We step off the dancefloor and I return to our table, sitting down still a little bit out of breath, only to be met with three incredulous stares. ‘Here we go, 3, 2, 1…’

“What was that, D?” Holly.

“Oh my God, the two of you on the dancefloor!” Sarah.

“That was incredible!” Alex.

I shrug, picking up my glass, but I can’t hide the blush on my face and smile around my straw. “Mr. Mulder can waltz.” I’ll never live this down.

Sometime after the birthday cakes came out, Felix appears at my side again and leans against me heavily. I can tell he’s coming down from his sugar-high. “Miss Scully, remember how I told you about the encyclopedia on butterflies?”

“Yeah I do, what about it?”

“Would you like to see it?” He looks up at me hopefully and I agree, glad to get away from the action for a while.

“Okay, come on!” Together we climb the steps to the back porch and he tugs me inside into the living room where we sit down on the couch. I can finally slip off my heels while Felix runs to get the encyclopedia and after returning, places it on my lap curling up into my side. He opens the heavy book and shows me his favorite butterflies, explaining in great detail what’s so special about it.

His voice gets more and more quiet with each new butterfly until he stops talking altogether and looking down I realize that he fell asleep, completely wiped. Coming off my own sugar high, I scoot down lower into the cushions and lean my head back against the back, closing my eyes. Just for a second.

Jennifer Lopez strips off to her bra at Alex Rodriguez daughter's birthday bash in Miami

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are showing considerable ingenuity and gall when it comes to throwing parties during a pandemic. On Tuesday, the engaged couple ambitiously pulled off a twelfth birthday party for his daughter Ella Alexander Rodriguez in Miami, while trying their best to abide by strict social distancing policies. The bash was also attended by Ella's mother Cynthia Scurtis, 47, - Alex's ex-wife whom he was married to from 2002 to 2008 - who appeared to be helping out with the festivities alongside Jennifer, 50. At one point, there appeared to be an awkward moment between the pair as J-Lo stripped off in the heat, revealing her lacy bra. Stripping off: Jennifer Lopez appeared to be struggling in the Miami heat on Tuesday, as she took off her top reveal a lacy bra while attending Alex Rodriguez daughter's 12th birthday bash in Miami Also present was Ella's sister Natasha Rodriguez, 15, and J-Lo's twelve-year-old twins Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony, 51, as well as other young family members. Although it seemed that guests were encouraged to just drive-by the area with birthday wishes, there did appear to be a number of people involved in the celebrations - including someone who appeared to be a videographer capturing the special day. The couple are just some of many celebrities who have been urging the public to stay home to help fight the spread of COVID-19. Awkward! Alex's ex-wife Cynthia, who he divorced in 2008, which pictured just a few feet away from his fiance Jennifer as she stripped down to a lacy bra On The Floor: Jennifer Lopez, 50, showed off her lacy bra as she was seen at Alex Rodriguez daughter's 12th birthday bash in Miami on Tuesday ....also attended by his ex-wife Cynthia Taking a break: Engaged couple Jennifer and Alex were seen having a breather from the festivities sitting out on the lawn in Miami Playing ball: Jennifer was first seen with Alex's ex-wife Cynthia at Natasha Rodriguez's graduation in May last year proving there is no animosity Family affair: (L-R) Cynthia Scurtiz, Alex Rodriguez, Natasha Rodriguez, Ella Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez Captured on camera: There appeared to be a videographer in attendance, holding a camera with a microphone attached In an Instagram video earlier this month the singer said: "Hey everyone. We want you to please stay home to stop the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home." "We're staying home those on the front lines - the doctors, nurses and technicians that are working so hard to keep everyone safe." J-Lo and Alex, 44, - who were tagged by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo - then nominated Jimmy Fallon to do his part and #StopTheSpread. A few days later, Jen was spotted attending a VIP gym in Miami for a work-out with Alex, though it was unclear if this was a private session. Jen and the ex: The pair were pictured hanging out together at the birthday bash on Tuesday Good sports: The family made sure to abide by social distancing guidelines for the party Friendly: Jen and Cynthia appeared to be in good spirits at the birthday bash together Getting stuck in: Cynthia was seen serving the three-tiered cake with the birthday girl's name written across it. Feeling the heat: J-Lo adjusts her outfit amid festivities for Ella Rodriguez's 12th birthday party

Birthday gang: Alex, Jen, and Cynthia are seen with their children and family members for Ella's special day However, it seemed that most guests at the party were restricted to 'drive-by' happy birthday wishes to the teenager, creating a procession with banners. One SUV was seen with a 'happy birthday Ella' poster plastered to the trunk. Meanwhile, Jennifer went round in a golf buggy with her kids, to oversee everything including a three-tiered cake with 'Ella' written on it, balloon displays and birthday banners. Weather in Miami has been in the mid 80s fahrenheit, and it appeared that the Jenny From The Block singer had got a little hot, removing the top of her all-white ensemble. Looking good: Jen showed off her incredible physique as she walked around in an all-white ensemble Modern family: Jen was seen with the birthday girl Ella (right) and her own daughter Emme (left) Party on the lawn: Jen and Alex appeared be throwing quite the spectacle, despite social distancing guidelines Big arrival: Ella's sister Natasha is seen driving on a gold buggy with a woman helping keep the birthday cake upright Spectacle: There appeared to be a gathering among those coming to wish Ella a happy birthday Crew: Jen's twins Max and Emma are seen with Ella wearing a birthday girl sash Alex, Jennifer and Cynthia were first seen all together last May at daughter Natasha's graduation from middle school. "How is my beautiful angel going to be a freshman in High School?! Congrats Tashi, we love you!" Alex captioned the group picture. The show of friendship was unusual as the year before there were reports that Cynthia was angry that Alex wanted to lower her child support and alimony payments. Alex had been embroiled in $115k a month spousal support row with his ex, which began in 2018, ten years after their bitter divorce. Birthday drive-by! To ensure they were not having a 'mass gathering' for the party, guests were encouraged to drive by to wish Ella a happy birthday Well-wishes: Friends of the birthday girl made their wishes known by holding up banners Are you SURE you're social distancing? A group of people are seen leaving gifts near a lap top that has been set up in relation to the birthday party Grouped together: Alex Rodriguez is seen standing in a group by a pile of gifts and a lap top set-up that looks like it could be used for a DJ set Party time: An array of balloons were seen tied to a gate as guests drove by to say happy birthday Lining up: Friends of the birthday girl were seen poking their heads through sunroofs to shout happy birthday Coming together: It appears Jen and Cynthia have a friendly relationship as they walked alongside each other at the bash Cute: Jen's daughter Emme also looked to be enjoying time with birthday girl Ella In 2018, it was reported that the former Yankees player requested to pay less child support, as he was no longer receiving his $30 million per year salary anymore. Alex was reportedly willing to pay $20,000 a month for his daughters, while Cynthia allegedly wanted the figure to be closer to $50,000 a month. The amount was to go towards school tuition, with their expenses reported to be somewhere between $7,000 and $12,000 a month. A day to remember: Jen was seen capturing the birthday bash on her iPhone Fun all round: Emme was seen kicking a ball about outside during the celebrations Keeping a distance? Alex and Jen have been urging fans to stay home during the current pandemic Good one! Jen and Alex give the classic parental 'thumbs up' as their children play Tip top: Jen was pictured recently visiting a VIP gym in Miami where she has been exercising Reuniting: Alex, fiancée Jen and his ex-wife Cynthia all gathered to celebrate his and Scurtis’ 15-year-old daughter, Natasha, graduating from middle school last May alongside Jen's twins, Max and Emme. At the time, Cynthia gave a rare public interview to the New York Post saying: "All I can tell you, there’s been a shift, and I’m not sure what to attribute it to." "Alex has dated some wonderful women since our divorce, many of whom have had positive relationships with our children. Alex and I have worked well trying to create a stable environment for our daughters and there has never been an issue. Until now." However, judging by these pictures, it seems Alex and his ex-wife may have come to some sort of mutual agreement. Abiding by the rules? The singer has been urging fans to stay at home during the pandemic Taking it in her stride: J-Lo appears to be finding ways to enjoy herself despite being on lockdown Mulling things over: The engaged couple are yet to announce a date for their wedding Sporty: The singer was dressed the part to indulge in some light activity Read More Read the full article

THE GAME HAS BEEN ELEVATED! Roc Nation’s Annual Brunch Is The Black Billionaires Link Up Everyone Wishes They Could Attend

Roc Nation hosted its annual pre-Grammy brunch – an event everyone wishes they can attend. Go inside the bomb event to see flicks of your faves Beyonce, Jay-Z, Rihnna, T.I., Kelly Rowland, Nispey Hussle’s soulmate Lauren London and more having fun…

Roc Nation returned to host its annual pre-Grammy brunch where the Who’s Who in music gather together at a bomb mountaintop estate in Brentwood to mix and mingle while celebrating another year of #BlackExcellence.

It's 2020 and the vision for black culture is clear. It's all about elevating and motivating. Hip Hop mogul Diddy made a toast to #BlackExcellence with his homies, spreading positive vibes to kick off the new year:

We'll toast to that!

Roc Nation founder Jay-Z and his Queen Beyonce (who was fashionably late) looked like two fab bags of money in their pastel ‘fits perfect for the outdoor brunch event. It looks like they reversed the colors they wore for their collaboration video "Apesh*t."

Mrs. Carter looked fierce in a blue-gray Francesco Murano dress, styled by Zerina Akers.

#BlackLove on steroids.

Caught him! Ha! #Beyonce #RocNationBrunch

A post shared by TheYBF (@theybf_daily) on Jan 25, 2020 at 5:01pm PST

He's lucky Hov didn't catch him do this. We all saw how Jay snatched a phone from someone's hand who tried to secretly record Bey dancing during Diddy's 50th birthday party last month.

Hov rolled into the event in a pink suit.

"It's mauve, bro!," Jay said when someone complimented him on his "pink" suit.

The Hip Hop icon kept it dapper in a mauve FRÈRE suit, styled by June Ambrose.

Coachella 2017 All Access: Go Inside This Year's Star-Studded Music Festival

Bust out the flower crowns and inflatable swans: Coachella 2017 is finally here! Thousands upon thousands of music lovers are headed to Indio, Calif., to experience two weekends of nonstop tunes from a variety of artists. Lady Gaga, Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde and Future are just some of the famous faces performing live to a sea full of people. For those who are unable to head out and experience the fun in person, there's always the Coachella livesteam. In addition, E! News is hooking you up with all the surprise guests, A-list parties and star sightings. Take a look at our All-Access guide updating throughout both weekends below. Coachella 2017: Star Sightings Weekend 1, Day 3: Sunday, April 16, 2017 Louis Tomlinson and girlfriend Eleanor Calder were spotted hanging out at the Revolve Festival party at the Merv Griffin estate in Indio, Calif. An insider told us they sat at a cabana by the pool, pouring themselves a CIROC and Red Bull drink. The former One Direction singer donned green flannel pants and a black shirt, while his on-again, off-again girlfriend opted for a plaid black and white button down and denim shorts. Though the couple didn't show too much PDA, they did spend a bit of time chatting together by themselves. Sofia Richie, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner, and DNCE also attended the event. Nick was spotted smoking a cigar and holding a goblet of Moët champagne in his private cabana beside Tomlinson. He donned a head-to-toe army fatigue outfit and a tan baseball cap. Joe and Sophie sipped on fruity drinks and chatted with friends. Kendall Jenner also just attended the Revolve Festival party, sitting in a private cabana with Hailey Baldwin and a group of friends. We're told they stayed for about an hour, eating popsicles and playing with the mini squirt guns at the table. Kendall dressed casual in a statement sleeve shirt with jean shorts and a hat. They stayed for Migos' performance before heading out. Katy Perry and her stylist Johnny Wujek hosted the Katy Perry Footwear Collection Easter Day "Recovery Brunch" on Sunday, which came complete with a fluid IV drip station, neck massages and a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar. The singer hosted this party to promote her new shoe line, which she designed with Wujek. Katy looked ethereal in a white mesh midi-dress and a white two-piece bathing suit underneath, rocking her bleached blonde pixie cut and accessorizing with a stuffed, white Easter bunny purse. A source told us she arrived to the party around 3 p.m. and was surprised by a "drunk" Easter bunny who was stumbling around the party holding a bottle of Jack Daniels. She spent a majority of the time mingling with guests and taking photos. Stars like DJ Khaled, Kehlani, G-Eazy and Lorde all performed before Kendrick Lamar took the stage late Sunday night. The rapper brought out Future as a surprise guest to perform their collaboration "Mask Off." During the performance, many stars were spotted in the crowd jiving to the music. Selena Gomez and The Weeknd watched the show together in the front of the artist guest viewing section. The "Starboy" singer wore a mask around his mouth, likely to protect his vocal chords from the dust, but at one point an onlooker tells us he moved it down to give SelGo some kisses. They kept their arms around each other all night, staying "very affectionate" as they sang along to Kendrick's songs. Selena Gomez's Best Looks Lana Del Rey and G-Eazy—who spent the entire weekend together, a source told E! News—were also spotted in the same area as SelGo and The Weeknd during Kendrick's show. We're told they came in the same group, but stood a couple yards apart as the rapper performed. An onlooker explained how Del Rey "danced like no one was watching" and sang every one of Kendrick's songs. We're also told she would occasionally look back and smile at G-Eazy before turning her attention back to the stage. Aaron Paul and his wife Lauren Paul also attended the concert with friends, "slowly trudging" out of the festival grounds after it ended. It was, indeed, a long weekend! Earlier in the evening, Katy Perry attended Lorde's performance and sat in the artist guest section. She was spotted "going crazy" during the "Royal" singer's final song. Weekend 1, Day 2: Saturday, April 15, 2017 Lady Gaga debuted a new song, "The Cure," during her headlining set. Katy Perry arrived about 10 minutes before the show started, with two friends. The singer watched the show while standing on a railing and was seen singing and dancing to all the songs. Wiz Khalifa was also in the special artist guest section and had his arm around a woman. They attended the show with friends. Lady Gaga's One-of-a-Kind Street Style Arrow star Stephen Amell and his wife stopped by Rachel Zoe's Zoeasis party, where Casamigos Tequila was enjoyed by festival-goers. "They are super cute together and said this was their first music festival," a source shared with E! News. "He's so in love with her, it's cute." Victoria Justice, Olivia Culpo, Yara Shahidi and more stars were spotted at POPSUGAR's CFDA brunch and cabana club pool party. Guests enjoyed a performance from Daya and swag provided by Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty and Three Olives Vodka. Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Tobey Maguire and 50 of their closest friends arrived to the Revolve Festival party at the Merv Griffin Estate after 5:30 pm. The A-listers snuck in through the back, fooling the crowd of partygoers in the front. They were all smiles while sipping on CÎROC, Moet and Heineken with Russell Simmons at their private poolside cabana. Pac Sun and Chevy put on a Coachella party at the Bootsy Bellows Estate that featured Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin and Ryan Phillippe.Ariel Winter, who also stopped by H&M's Coachella party, and Levi Meaden were also in attendance and displayed plenty of PDA. During Future's set, the rapper decided to surprise the audience by bringing Drake on to the stage. According to an eyewitness, Orlando was super excited with the surprise and couldn't stop dancing and hugging his guy friends. Katy, Orlando's ex, also watched Future's performance but the two did not appear together, a source told E! News. Both Rihanna and Lana Del Rey were also seen near Katy Perry in the same artist guest viewing section. Wiz and the same woman were also present, as was his ex Amber Rose, who stood behind them with friends, E! News has learned. Chris Pine was spotted ordering a whole pizza at a VIP food area. Also spotted there: Josh Hutcherson and a guy friend. Musicians Performing Live on Stage Leonardo, Orlando, Toby, Drake, Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, Amber Rose and French Montana were all spotted at the Neon Carnival party presented by Levi's Brand and Don Julio late Saturday night. Selena and The Weeknd walked hand-in-hand on their way to the portable toilets and he was extremely protective of her when a photographer tried to take a photo of them. The two were later spotted in a booth by the dance floor and left the bash around 4 a.m. Holding hands again, they made their way into an SUV, where The Weeknd helped Selena inside. Leonardo, who wore a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes, as well as a hoodie, hung out with Orlando, who sported sunglasses and a hoodie, and Toby at a VIP booth and danced with fellow guests. Both Leonardo and Orlando was also seen talking to blond women. Chantel Jeffries and Alessandra Ambrosio were also spotted in the area. James Francowas seen walking with a tall bleached blond woman to one of the carnival rides. They were also accompanied by a group of people. Drake arrived with an entourage of at least 15 people and partied until just before 4 a.m. Amber, who wore a colorful body suit, also attended the bash with a large group. According to a source, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kristen Stewart and Stella Maxwell (among others) hit up the Jeremy Scott Moschino party on Saturday night following the festival. After the party, the bad gal headed to Neon Carnival where she avoided both Drake and Leonardo. Earlier in the day, also was spotted watching Gucci Mane in a special viewing section at the Sahara tent and dressed in a head-to-toe glittery Gucci bodysuit—so, yes, Rih wore Gucci to Gucci Mane (because she's that bad). Weekend 1, Day 1: Friday April 14, 2017 After traveling through private planes, Uber rides and even a helicopter (we see you Sofia Richie), dozens of celebrities kicked off a jam-packed weekend. Tyga partied separately from Kylie Jenner throughout the weekend. On Friday, he hit up one of the parties put on by Velocity Black x 1 OAK, which kicked off its annual Coachella soirees with an epic mega-day bash called the Up & Down Desert Beach Party featuring cocktails by Absolut Elyx, D'usse, Red Bull and Budweiser. Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, Chanel Iman and Shay Mitchell were just some of the "curated" crowd that was treated to Zeel App massages, beats spun by Odd Future's DJ Taco and food by Catch LA. Poppy Delevingne, Jordyn Woods, Brooklyn Beckham and Russell Simmons made sure to stop by the day party as well. Selena and The Weeknd couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other throughout the day. The two watched performances by The Head and The Heart and Travis Scott. Nicole Richie was able to enjoy brunch early in the afternoon while also celebrating the House of Harlow 1960 X REVOVLE Spring 2017 collection. Instead of hanging out with Tyga, Kylie hit up the PrettyLittleThing x Paper Magazine's party sporting a neon green hairstyle. Later that night, Kendall played part-time DJ with Daniel Chetrit when the duo spun a set as Pizza Boys at Velocity Black x 1 OAK's second bash, this one being a late-night party Supermodels Jourdan Dunn, Hailey Baldwin, Jasmine Tookes and Georgia Fowler danced it out under the stars. Muse's Matt Bellamy, Jayden Smith, Odell Beckham, Nav and French Montana were also treated to Kendall's DJ set. The vibe was so hot even exes Rihanna and Drake both attended. However, a party-goer tells E! News they did not run into each other. "Rihanna arrived a little after midnight with a few friends. She and Drake arrived about an hour or so apart and did not chat at all," the source said. The Weeknd and Selena continued their PDA-filled Day 1 at the jam-packed party, too. 10 Music Festival Items That Will Make Your Coachella Instagrams Pop Before the sun went down, Hailee Steinfeld performed three songs at the Republic Records Hyde Away party including a cover of Ed Sheeran's smash-hit single "Shape of You."

Short Story #39: Traffic.

Written: 2/7/2017

The problem with his car’s air conditioner was that when it was at a full stop, even if the engine was running, it hardly even worked, so longer stops would let the car fill up with heat. If he was driving, it would blast cool air and he would be in heaven, even on the hottest days of the year. He could be driving around in Death Valley in the middle of the day and he would have to wear a jacket. However, days like these when he became stuck in a static river of cars, only moving an inch every minute, unable to see what’s causing the jam, unable to back out because there’s another endless line of cars behind him, well, its like sitting in hell.

Most of the time he was a well tempered man, and even though his inner monologue might be labeled-by some-as psychotic, he was able to keep it away from his surface, buried under layers and layers of manners, smiles, and a general, faked attitude of a boy scout. There were only two conditions where his-

Honking his horn several times, he yelled at the cars in front of him, “What the fuck is the hold up? Get moving or I’ll go up there and make you move myself!” Rubbing his temple with his right hand, he could feel sweat starting to form a thick layer on his forehead. It felt disgusting, it made him feel disgusting, and it made him start to hate himself for being so disgusting, then he started to hate the traffic jam for putting him in this heat, then he hated his car for not working in this one scenario, and he hated himself for never getting this fixed, etc. This flowing of shifting hate happened within the first three seconds after he felt the cold sweat on his hand, and started to feel his hair getting wet. Clenching the sweaty hand into a fist, he started to punch the horn repeatedly, to vent his anger and to make that anger audible enough for the people in traffic to hear. “God fucking damn it.”

He wasn’t very eloquent, but he spoke from the heart.

“Sons of bitches making me wait in this god damned heat, I’m going to melt before we go anywhere. Motherfucking lousy pieces of human-”

There were only two conditions where his outer self would reflect the inner, and these were: liquor and heat. Liquor straight up made him stop caring about putting on any heirs, and he just became an aggressive asshole, which has cost him two marriages, three promising careers, $17,867 in legal fees, the tip of his left pinkie, and his prized firebird that he bought with saved up paychecks from his first job. After all this, he had decided to quit drinking, and became a regular in AA. It has also given him a reason, on the inside, to feel moral superiority towards people, because he had overcome the obstacles in his life, paid the price, and was now a well-functioning and well-meaning member of society who often helped the commun-

"-foot down your lousy throats until all that’s left is the dust from your fucking teeth.” A small gap formed in front of him and he inched forwards, but it wasn’t enough to cool him down a little bit. Beads of sweat were now starting to drip down his face, his underwear was soaked and mushy enough to make him fell like he shit himself, his hands got to the point of shaking but he couldn’t grip the steering wheel to calm them since it had become way too hot, and his tongue became dry enough for him to routinely lick the sweat from his upper lips. More than anything, he needed a distraction from the heat to keep himself in check, a lot of people in nearby cars were either shooting him worried looks or refusing to look at him, and having to keep his windows rolled down didn’t help muffle the sounds of his outbursts. Figuring it was the best he could do, he switched the radio on, closed his eyes, and tried to get lost in the sound of the music. Normally he hated the song that was playing, it was just some mass manufactured song about an image of love that didn’t exist (in reality it was a very realistic and honest song, he just had very little understanding of what love actually was, and was like this with basically every human feeling other than anger), but on that day it was a life saver.

-community by organizing and helping fund raisers, community projects, volunteering at old folks homes, clinics, pounds, etc. Most people, due not only to his charitable spirit and refusal to drink or swear, but also to his looks, would often mistake him as being Mormon. He would have to correct them a lot, but even family members and close friends would often forget that he wasn’t. If you saw him on the street, and somebody pointed at you, asked you to describe him, there is a 95% chance that you would, at some point in the description, use the word Mormon. He only started to give off that vibe after his 10 year drinking binge, after he cut off most of his hair, adopting a clean shaven face and a short, neat hairstyle, and mainly wore short sleeved button ups. It never really bothered him, though, because people just naturally thought that he would be a good person, and it made pretending even easier.

The song slowly faded out, and then several air horns blasted, ushering in the arrival of the radio’s DJ, some guy with a forgettable name and a voice that sounded like every other radio DJ out there. “Man, its a hot one out there isn’t it folks? I swear, we haven’t had heat like this since our basketball team played Miami.” He quickly switched the radio off, not just because the mention of heat had brought him out of his neutral state, but because of that lazy joke. He was too on edge to have to suffer through bullshit like that.

He could feel his hairline start to feel very damp, beads of sweat started to roll down his face, he ran his left hand through his hair and it was all soaking wet. Traffic had still not done very much to move, and he started to get a headache. “The fucks going on, get moving you god damned retards!” His whole body shook as he said that, and it may have been a little excessive, could’ve been described as a tantrum, but it was tranquil compared to what was happening on the inside, which was starting to work its way up and out.

On the inside, he was thinking: I should just fucking gas it and hit this mother fucker in front of me, and if I drive over his car good, hopefully the fucker gets crushed, but if I can’t then its good to fuck up his bumper anyhow. I should just fuckin keep driving back and forth, fuck everyone’s cars up. Why is that kid fucking staring at me? I should give that cock sucker something to stare at, punch through the window and drag him out of that shit heap, bash his face into the asphalt until all that’s left is a pool of blood, teeth, and whatever used to be his face. Tell his parents over there, “Looks like your going to have to get a new one. Next time get one that will actually become an adult instead of dying like a fucking pussy.” You know who the real pussy is, that husband with his fucking glasses, the way he keeps trying to tell his kid to not stare back at me. I should pull him out, put his head under the tire of my car, then drive baby drive, show him the weight of a real man. Show his wife the weight of a real man, I’d show her- (here it gets really disgusting, so lets skip ahead a bit) -and after her her mascara is running, and she can’t talk with all of that glass in her mouth, but she keeps trying to beg to let her go, I’ll drag her over to that puddle of her kids face and force her head down, let that bitch drown- Oh, we’re moving again, about fucking time. Its so fucking hot in here I need to take this piece of shit to the mechanic, tell that motherfucker- and so on.

His clothes started to cling to him, they were way too damp, and he wanted to strip out of those disgusting clothes when he got home, but he didn’t know when that would be. The worst part about all of the sweat was it made him focus on the heat, every move, or even just when he sat still, there was now no way to ignore it. There was still no sign of an end to the traffic jam, and plenty of cars were beginning to rapidly honk their horns, showing a communal anger. It was hard for him to not join in on this, and when he finally gave in he was pissed by how hot the wheel had been, the metal logo on the center almost burned him.

Since he couldn’t stop wondering what the cause of the jam was, and he couldn’t stop saying random swear words every 3 seconds, leaving him to sit in the car, twitching, saying “Piss. Fuck. Ass. Bitch. Fuck. Fuck. Shit. Damn”, etc, he finally got the bright idea to check his phone, see what the cause was, and hopefully clear his mind. The best facial expression he could maintain was a scowl, and not one that said “I’m reasonably annoyed at these circumstances”, instead it said something along the lines of “Make eye contact with me and I’ll snap”. This expression only got worse when a news feed finally showed him the source of the hold up: a celebrity, some actor he never heard about, signing autographs in front of the mall, causing some drivers to leave their cars so they could score quick signatures. He couldn’t believe it. It didn’t make any sense. It was irrational.

Since it was an irrational situation, he could find no reason to maintain any sense of faked rationality.

Three images flashed in his mind:

1. The view he had when his firebird was overturned, and he was sitting upside down, belted in, with one eye unable to open. At this moment he was close to being black out drunk, but since he was still conscious he considered himself in the “safe zone”. He was looking at the passenger seat, and could see his wife (now ex-wife) grabbing at her throat, frantic, trying to stop the bleeding caused by, what he later found out to be, a beer bottle that had smashed when they fell into the ditch. The moonlight that poured in was actually beautiful, and gave an unreal quality to the scene.

2. Him standing in front of the AA, all of the alcoholics watching him, accepting his two-year chip, even though he had relapsed three times within that timespan. Lies aside, that moment gave him the most confidence he ever had.

3. A dog he had, golden retriever, running through a sunny field, chasing after a stick he had thrown for it. He wasn’t aware that this was actually a scene from a movie that he saw, years ago, and confused this as a moment of his childhood innocence, a simpler world that didn’t exist anymore, and was the opposite of this hellish place he currently inhabited.

Quickly, he reached to the side of his seat and pulled a lever to pop open his trunk. He quickly his car, walked around to the back, and found the little league equipment that he had stored in there. Before he grabbed anything, he had to peel his shirt off of him, he couldn’t stand the feel of sweat any longer, and he threw it behind him, directed at the long line of traffic, no specific car in mind. His phone started to vibrate, he was getting a call, and he disposed of it in the same fashion. Looking at the equipment in front of him, he decided to pull out an aluminum bat, didn’t bother to close the trunk, and then started to wander around the rows of cars, daring somebody to piss him off.

First, he went to the car of that family that he fantasized about, but none of them would even look in his direction. He deemed them too boring to rough up. This became a pattern with any of the cars that he approached, and he realized that these people had all seen his furious outbursts, and were probably already scared of him, none of them daring to pick a fight or cause trouble. So, naturally, he stepped onto the car in front of him, walked over it, and kept walking down the endless line of cars, hoping that somebody would make the mistake of yelling at him, honking their horns, or even making eye contact. It was a long walk before anybody gave him a reason, and he had almost gotten until the mall, seeing the end of traffic ahead of him.

He started to believe that nobody was going to bother to make trouble with him, their cars were all probably air conditioned and some didn’t notice. His main plan, after two miles, was to just fuck up the celebrity who was causing this situation in the first place, but as he was about to step onto the roof of a navy blue convertible a man quickly got out of the car, some older guy wearing a polo that matched the car’s color, black slacks, sunglasses, and had short and well groomed, salt and pepper hair, tried to convince him not to step on the roof of his car, since it wouldn’t hold up under his weight. This guy wasn’t able to talk for long until before the bat was able to shut him up, and his attacker almost felt bad for the old guy, almost, because of how easily it was to break his glasses, have the man fall to the ground, a couple teeth landing before him, and to send him into unconsciousness.

It was also a little disappointing because he wanted the guy to put up a fight, he wanted to give a couple more swings, but it was over so quickly.

In search of a better way to vent his anger, he continued down the line of cars, or at least that was his plan. When he stepped onto the roof of the convertible his legs almost immediately fell through, and he was stuck. No matter how hard he tried he couldn’t get himself free, so he stood there, wiggling, screaming, baking in the sun, for almost an hour. Somebody tried to help the unconscious man, but when they approached they were almost hit by the bat, so they decided it wasn’t worth it, went back to their car, and decided to call an ambulance, which was unable to arrive due to the traffic. Most people didn’t know how to react to the situation, so they just ignored it, didn’t look at it, and continued to go on with their little activities they did to stave off the boredom of waiting in traffic.

“Fucking god.. Mother. AHAH. NO NO AHAAAHAH… GOD FUCKING PANSY AHHAHA!!” This was the basic gist of what the man screamed as he tried to break free, his skin slowly burning, turning a dark red that started to enhance his anger, both inside and out.

A couple cars down, a college aged kid got onto the roof of his car and started to mimic the trapped man, successfully getting a couple of laughs, and this only further enraged the burning Mormon. Not only because he was being mocked while in an enraged state, but also because he couldn’t attack the guy, or even turn around to see him. He wanted to throw his bat, but he decided to clutch onto it just in case anybody decided to come by, so he could take a swing at him.

At one point the guy was able to find the steering wheel with his right foot, and was able to honk the horn by kicking it, trying to use this to enhance his cries, hoping it would make him more intimidating. Nobody cared, the guy mimicking him eventually got bored and ceased, and his foot became tired from repeated kicking and heat exhaustion. He started to cry from the anger. As the tears kept coming, he stopped thrashing, relaxed, and just became a sobbing mess. He was so focused on crying that he didn’t even notice when he started to pass out.

Waking up in a hospital bed, handcuffed to the metal railing at the side, was confusing for him, but even though it hurt like hell to move an inch, he now felt pretty relaxed. He tried turning his head to look around the room, but it hurt too much, so he just stared at the wall in front of him. Since the pain forced him to stay still, he was able to remain calm and force his inner thoughts back to where they belonged, and by the time a nurse came in to check on him he was his old, fake, smiling self.

The nurse explained that the handcuffs were just a safety precaution, since he’d gone mad from the heat, and she asked if he could remember anything before leaving his car.

He wasn’t aware until much later of the officer in the room, who was the actual person talking, the nurse was just the only person he could see.

He lied and said he didn’t.

Somebody put his bat on his lap, and he put enough effort to look down at it to see that somebody had autographed it, but he didn’t know who.
