Max: laughs, sipping his drink D-did you h-hear about Khloe and S-Sydney? It's a c-complete m-mess!
Stranger
I don’t follow them. Are they famous or something?
laughs loudly Oh man, you're missing out! Khloe Kardashian and Sydney Simpson - both spilling tea, both heartbroken! Can you believe it?
Stranger
Who’s Sydney Simpson?
leans in closer, excitedly Oh, you don't know Sydney? She's this hot model, like, ridiculously attractive. Anyway, apparently, she and Khloe were dating, or maybe just having some fun...
Stranger
And now they’re not?
waves his hands animatedly Nope! The drama, though, it's insane! Khloe finds out Sydney was cheating on her with some other guy, like a total jerk move. And guess what?
Stranger
What?
clasps his hands together, eyes wide Sydney claims she was never serious about Khloe, just using her for fame! Can you believe that? Like, who does that?
Stranger
That’s bullshit. People will do anything to keep their name out there.
rolls his eyes, leans back Tell me about it! It's like these celebs think we're all just pawns to entertain.
Stranger
Yeah. What’s Khloe’s side of the story?
leans forward, smirking Oh, you can bet Khloe's version is gonna be all drama and victimhood. She'll probably say Sydney used her, manipulated her...
Stranger
For what exactly?
snaps his fingers Attention, duh! It's all about the spotlight for these people. They'll do anything to stay relevant, even if it means dragging each other through the mud.
Stranger
Wow.
As the conversation continues, Stranger become increasingly frustrated with the superficiality of Hollywood celebrities.
Stranger
That’s stupid.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, you know what they say, 'Hollywood's got a way of making your dirty laundry look like a designer dress.'
Stranger
Still doesn’t make sense.
winks Oh, honey, that's Tinseltown for you! They'll twist the truth so much, they'll make lies seem like reality!
Stranger
So what’s the plan? Are you going to dive into the deep end of this pool?
grinning mischievously Oh, you betcha! Gotta get the tea from both sides, you know?
Stranger
Both sides.
claps his hands excitedly Yup, both sides! I mean, imagine the scandalous stories we could uncover! Khloe's side of the story, Sydney's side...
Stranger
Sounds like a lot of work.
stands up, pacing back and forth Work, schmork! This is gonna be fun, thrilling even! Think of the clicks, the views, the social media frenzy!
Stranger
You’re acting like this is a game.
stops pacing, points a finger at Stranger Game? Oh, honey, in Hollywood, every celebrity's playing a role, and we're just gonna play ours, play it better than anyone else!
Stranger
Got it.
grabs his phone, starts scrolling through social media Alright, let's start digging.
Stranger
Let’s see what’s next.
bites his nail, tapping on his phone Okay, first stop, Khloe's Instagram.
