Every girl, every boy
Ladies and gentlemen, Christopher Wilde.
They got your posters on the wall, yeah
Photographs, autogruphs, the minute you step out the door
You will meet the applause, yeah
Paparazzi hiding in the bushes
Trying to make a dollar
Wanna be you, when they see you
They scream out loud
Starstruck,
Camera flashes, cover of magazines, oh-oh oh-oh
Starstruck, designer sunglasses
Living the dream as a teen
Driving fancy cars, Hollywood Boulevard
Hear the crowd calling your name, yeah
Starstruck
Prepare to get starstruck
All right
As soon as you move, they're gonna talk about it
In the paper, the news, they're gonna talk about it
'Cause you're on the a-list, you'd better believe it
You'd better believe it, yeah
Whatever you do, whatever you do...
I just love Christopher Wilde.
Oh, 'cause you're on the top spot
And nothing can stop ya...
Jessica.
Oh, I'm sorry, Sara.
Am I blocking your view of what's-his-name?
Mm-hmm. Move it or lose it. Sister.
Sara, Jessica-- Suitcase.
Come pick out your clothes and get packed.
We're leaving foe the airport right after school tomorrow.
No. Eww.
In less than 24 hours, I'll be in Los Angeles
where Christopher lives.
What if he picks me up at the airport?
Why would he do that?
I'm an original member of his fan club,
I follow his minute-by-minute blog posts
and I text him everyday.
Trust me, he wants to meet me.
Is it too late for me to be an only child?
-Yes. - And can I please stay home?
-No. -Why not?
Because your grandmother hasn't seen you in two years.
Plus you're a minor and it's illegal.
Everybdy shh! There's more about Christopher.
The fabulous Christopher Wilde picked up
six Music Association Awards last night
just in time for his new CD "Real Wilde"
to drop-- wow-- double platinum.
I caught up with our favorite pop star on the red carpet.
Well, first I'd like to say thank you so much
for buying the records and coming to my concerts.
You're the reason I love what I do.
You guys are the best fans in the world. Thank you.
He is such an amazing person.
He's definitely not amazing.
Um, he is amazing.
And if you know him like I know him, you wouldn't say that.
Hello, We live in Michigan.
You don't know him.
But I do.
I know everything about him.
I know where he works...
eats,
shops,
surfs
and parties.
- Ready to party. - Absolutely.
Let's do it. Off all your cars.
- Angelina is my favourite. - Angelina?
Yeah. Look at her.
Hey, does that new valet look a little shifty to you?
No, not really.
He looks a little shifty to me.
Come on, Stubby. Let's find you a real girl.
It is a real girl.
Oh, wow, look who it is --
Christopher Wilde's girlfriend,
The fantabulous, fabulous Alexis Bender.
- Hi, sweetie. - Hi.
- Stubby. - Yeah.
- You look beautiful tonight. - I know.
Wait till you see what I'm wearing tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow.
My birthday.
Baby, you promise you were gonna sing.
Right. Hey, I'll be there.
Absolutely.
Okay. Wait.
Something's wrong.
Yeah, you're here.
What? It's guys' night out.
Where are my paparazzi?
Oh, you did not blog it again, did you?
There he is. Come on.
So weird.
All right. Back up, guys.
Whoa, back up, back up, back up, back up, back up.
You're not invited.
Evertbody's invited, Sara. It's an all-school dance.
The operative word being "dance".
Embarrssing.
Don't worry.
I'm just get there to cover it for school paper.
Oh.
Oh, are you bringing your camera with you to California?
A.J., of course I am.
Because we still need pics of Christopher Wilde.
Talking, walking,
singing, dancing, moving, breathing.
Why are you both so hung up on this guy?
This guy?
Mm-hmm, now you see what I live with.
- Poor you. - Little sister,
When we go to California, you can play shuffleboard with Grandma,
But I'm going to meet Christopher Wilde.
And just how are you planning to do that?
Well, we've mapped out his every move for the past 18 months.
I know when and where he's likely to be every second of every day.
About the time we leave for Los Angeles,
He'll be having his daily meeting with his managers.
- He's late. - Oh, he'll be here.
- You need to manage him better. - Hello, we both manage him.
He needs to know opportunities like this don't come every day.
He knows. He's not a kid.
- Yo, what's up? - You're late.
Sorry, Mom.
- How are you doing, son? - Great. Excited.
Oh, honey, honey, honey, you could have cleaned up a little bit.
What? I'm-- I'm totally clean.
He looks like a street kid, not a movie star.
He looks fine. Just be yourself, Christopher.
All right.
He's here.
All right, this is it, bud--
Your chance at what we've always wanted.
Alan, please come in.
Sherry, Daniel, a great place you got here.
Oh, actually it's Christopher's. We kind of work here.
- All right. Christopher Wilde. - Mr. Smith.
- My daughters are big fans of yours. - That's great.
Wow, this is great.
I love this.
I love this. Rock 'n' roll.
I love Cleveland.
Awesome. Oh, got this album at the house.
Girls love this-- "Something Wilde."
All right, let's get right to the point.
Let's get right to it. I've been watching you
and I like what I see.
You are a talented, talented kid.
He's a talented kid.
You sing, you dance. I hope you can act.
Eh.
Because I like you for this movie.
Thank you, sir. Coming from you--
It would be such an honor to work with someone--
But my people don't necessarily agree with me.
See, all they see is a spoiled punk
who likes to tangle with the paparazzi.
Alan, you know how the tabloids are. They manipulate those photos.
Daniel, I get it, I get it.
Look, all I'm saying, kid, is
A chance like this comes along once in a lifetime.
I want to give you a shot, but you have to prove
that you're a serious and committed actor.
How do I do that?
On Monday I'm gonna meet with my people
and try and sell them on you.
In the meantime, you keep your face out of the tabloids.
No press, good or bad, Okay?
I can do that.
In fact, stay home.
All right.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate that.
You're such a dork. You've got homework?
No, it's called reading. You should try it sometime.
What? I read.
This is all pictures.
Don't touch that.
Gradly.
What's taking them so long?
Just give me a car already so I can go meet Christopher Wilde.
Sara, you can't drive.
Yes, I can. I'm licensed.
No, you can't. Sign.
You must be at lease 25 years old
to drive or rent a car from Los Angeles Car Rental?
What?
How am I supposed to do what I want to do?
And how could that be?
Uh,
Take Jessica sightseeing.
Well, I think your Grandma's got a car you can borrow.
Sweet.
See what I mean? Mom, be careful.
- Oh, here comes the cavalry. - You could fall and break a hip.
Oh now, Barbara, calm down.
Howie had my back.
We take care of each other.
Oh, Okay then.
Grandma!
Oh, Jessica, I'm so happy to see you.
- I missed you so much. - Ditto.
Oh, Sara, You can take her for a spin if you want to.
Just gave her a tune-out. She runs like a top.
Oh, yeah,
a super ugly top you'd never want to be seen in.
Does that mean you'll be joining us for shuffleboard?
Sara out.
Grandma says stop pacing. You're creating a draft.
I just got a call from A.J. She just had a chat
about a text quoting a blog about Christopher Wilde.
He's singing tonight at Alexis Bender's birthing party.
I have to go.
Good luck convincing mom and dad of that.
- Go with me. - No.
Uh-huh. They'll let me go if you go too.
How many times do I have to say this?
I'm not interested in meeting a stupid celebrity.
I mean, I'm sick and tired of Christopher Wilde.
- He's all you talk about. - I'll shut up.
What?
If you go with me and I meet Christopher Wilde,
I'll stop talking about him for the rest of the trip.
How about the rest of your life?
Please.
Switch it up
You got me watching you
Switch it up, I like the things you do
Switch it up
What are you doing? This is a no-parking zone.
If a person stays in the car, it's not parking. It's waiting.
We'll get a ticket.
Get behind the wheel. Do it.
Okay.
Every girl, every boy, they got your posters on the wall, yeah.
I don't know about this, man.
We'll be fine.
We shouldn't even be here, we should be at home.
Chilling at that party your parents are throwing.
Since when do you want to party with my parents?
Are you kidding?
The caterer's from Argentina.
There's gonna be steak for dessert.
Tempting, but I promised Alexis I'd sing on her birthday.
I'm not gonna let her down.
Oh, you and your stupid friendship rules.
They work for you, don't they?
Stay at my house for free, eat my food, drive my car.
Okay okay. and in return
You get to hang out with myself--
Albert J. Stubbins, best friend since fourth grade.
Yeah, it works for me too, Stubby.
Let's do this.
He's here.
Just wait here.
Alexis baby, happy birthday.
- where's Christopher? - He couldn't make it.
He's at home eating steak.
Where's your boyfriend?
- Come on, let's have some fun. - Stubby!
- What? - I'm so sorry I'm late.
Come on.
- You know her? - not yet.
Great.
I'm gonna be here forever.
Thanks, man.
Looks like we pulled it off.
What would you do without me?
Our birthday girl in the vip section, Alexis Bender,

We got t-shirts. we got concerts.
Up next, some of your favorite music.
Happy birthday, Alexis.
Good night, everybody.
Wait.
Move.
Oh no.
- Ow. - Did I just hit you?
No, the door hit me by itself.
- This is not good. - For you or for me?
'Cause right now it feels a lot worse for me.
This is really not good.
Wait. You're Chris--
I'll give you front-row tickets to my
concert if you don't scream my name.
I don't want to see your stupid concert.
- Ow. - Okay, I need to get you to a doctor.
Come on, come on, come on.
Give me this hand,this hand. There we go, come on.
- What about Sara? - Who's Sara?
My sister. She's up in the club.
Whoa whoa whoa, what happened?
Help now, questions later.
- Okay. - Just get her in the car.
- Who is this? - Seat belt.
What is your name?
Jessica.
Well, nice to meet you, Jessica.
Oh, I can think of nicer ways.
I'm not feeling too hot.
Hey hey hey, do not hurl in Britney, okay?
I just got her detailed
Okay.
Oh, no! My favorite shoes!
I'll buy you new ones. Door.
Key. And make sure her sister Sara gets home okay.
Just don't tell anyone about this.
Oh, I gotta get some new shoes.
Follow the light with your eyes.
Well, I've done a thorough exam
And the C.T. scan was normal.
Everything looks good.
- So she's okay? - Out.
There's no sign of head trauma
And I'm absolutely certain you don't have a concussion.
- How come i threw up? - Maybe it was something you ate
Or maybe it was a reaction to meeting that doofus.
It's a curtain, Sanjay. I can hear you.
No, you can't.
You two know each other?
He's my sister's husband.
So I can go now?
Yes, but I want you to put an ice
pack on that bump until you get home
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Are you gonna answer that?
Oh, right.
Hello, mom.
What? who?
Where? now?
Yes, right now. We thought he wasn't coming,
But he just showed up with your two biggest fans.
Look, you promised him you were
gonna stay home this weekend.
It's up to you to fix this, Christopher.
Okay, just stall them. I will be right there.
- Sherry. - Alan.
Where is he?
- That might be a problem. - Why?
My waiting room is filled with big guys with big cameras.
The paparazzi found me?
Okay, Sanjay, what kind of car are you driving?
Nothing you'd be interested in.
I'm still paying off six years of medical school.
Perfect. How about a trade?
No.
- Only happens once. - Okay.
Ow! are you sure this is safe?
- Pretty sure. - I'm pretty sure it's not.
- Just calm down, okay? - I don't want to calm down.
I want to go home, okay?
Ow. What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with me? Nothing. Nothing.
I'm looking forward to being grounded until I'm 30.
- Is that why you're so crabby? - I'm not crabby.
- Not crabby, defensive. - I am not defensive.
See? You disagree with everything I say.
- Do not. - Do too.
- Just take me home. - I will.
First we need to make one teeny tiny little stop.
You've got to be kidding.
You live here?
Yeah, why?
- Go go go. - What are you doing?
Gotta go upstairs. Gotta go.
- Stop pulling me. - Sorry, I just--
Where are we going? Christopher!
- I'm sorry, I just don't-- - Don't know where to hide me?
No, I'm not hiding you. I just don't want
these particular people to see you right now.
Because I'm not a movie star?
No, 'cause I don't want anyone asking questions,
and neither do you
"Who is she? Where did you meet? Are you two dating?"
- Dating? - Yeah, they make stuff up.
Okay, come on.
The guest room. Be my guest.
- Do I have a choice? - Not really. I'll be right back.
Just stay.
Woof.
Good to see you.
Hey, how are you?
Looking good, buddy.
- Hey. - Hey, mom.
How are you doing?
- Alan, good to see you. - My daughters.
- Yeah, what's up? - I think they want to ask you something.
- Can you sing us a song? - Of course. Absolutely.
- I got a new one I'm working on. - Sure thing.
- You know where your guitar is? - Of course.
You're gonna love this.
Hey, everybody,
This is a little something i'm working on for my next album.
I hope you like it.
I'm no superman
I can't take your hand
and fly you anywhere you want to go
I can't read your mind
Like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you want to hear
But I'll be your hero
'Cause I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
And I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be a hero
So incredible
Some kind of miracle
That when it's meant to be
I'll become a hero
Oh, so I wait wait wait wait for you
Yeah, I'll be a hero
'Cause I
I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
like gravity I'll be unstoppable
And I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be a hero
Yeah, I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero
Hero.
Great great.
So, girls, am I the greatest dad in the world or what?
Hey, where are you going?
Anywhere but here.
What did I do now?
You said you'd take me home. When?
Just pick a car. I'll take you home.
- No. - Fine, we'll walk.
Where does your grandma live again?
- Hollywood. - That's great.
We'll get there... on Tuesday.
Okay.
-Okay? -But here are the rules.
You drive me straight there, drop me off,
And then you come back to your fabulous life.
What's the purpose of that?
I don't get it. Why does she do this?
Something about the sunshine, baby
I'm seeing you in a whole new light.
Really?
What? I thought you'd like it.
Let me guess-- you thought
I'd be dying to ride in a car with Christopher Wilde
As he sings to one of his big hits--
A fan's dream come true.
- There's just one problem. - Which is?
I'm not your fan.
You don't-- you don't like my music?
No, I like your music.
I'm just not crazy about you.
But you don't even know me,
Precisely.
You know, I think if you did know me, you'd really like me.
Oh, turn here.
Thanks for the ride.
Look, Jessica.
Look, I just want to say I'm sorry.
Noted. Are we done now?
Uh, yeah.
- Yeah, I guess we're done. - Good.
Bye.
Oh, great.
Go away.
I'll give you $5000 if you do me this favor.
It's not a favor if you pay for it.
So is that a yes?
You know, you could help a little.
Oh, this car wouldn't be moving if i wasn't pushing it.
You'll be out of here before morning, right?
Yes, hopefully no one will ever know I was here.
I'll know.
Thank you. Thanks a lot.
Yeah.
Hey, is there anything up there that I can wear
so when I do leave the paparazzi won't recognize me?
You can look in those.
So is all this really necessary?
Yes. Clearly you don't understand.
They're-- they're everywhere.
Paranoid.
- Just forget it. - Love to.
Well?
That was my grandpa's hat.
He used to wear it when he took me fishing.
Oh, I'm sorry. Here.
No, you keep it. It looks kind of good on you.
Thanks.
Anything else?
No, I'm cool.
Yeah, so cool you're sleeping in your car.
Jessica...
- Stop doing that. - What am I doing?
Oh, you know exactly what you're doing.
In fact, I bet you do it all the time.
You give girls that-- that look and expect them to fall for you.
Well, it's not working with me, so get over it.
Eat up. We're helping grandma with some yard work today.
Mm, good morning, sunshine.
Hey.
Syrup, please.
I didn't see any. Mom, got any more syrup?
Oh, sure. On the shelf in the garage.
I'll get it.
No, I'll get it.
How was your little cab ride?
What cab ride?
I'm this close to meeting Christopher Wilde
And I have to leave because Stubby tells me
that you decided to take a cab home.
Oh, that cab.
Where did you go?
Wait, don't tell me. I don't want to be that bored.
I'll make it up to you.
I'll help you find him.
How are you gonna do that?
Let's go inside and research.
Mom and dad don't even need to know.
Mom and dad don't need to know what?
Nothing.
I don't understand you girls.
Oh, Sara, they're doing a story on television
about that boy you like so much.
Oh, hey!
- No. - What is with you?
Alexis Bender arrived at her birthday party last night
without her leading man.
Although no one saw him arrive at the fabulous club "Under 21",
Witnesses confirm that Christopher Wilde did indeed make
a secret appearance to sing for the packed house of well-wishers.
Partygoers say the pop star left the club
Immediately following his performance,
Only to magically reappear at his Beverly Hills mansion
Several hours later with a different girl.
My sources tell me this mystery girl
might be stealing the heart of our favorite pop star.
Stop. I want to see that.
Why? It's all lies-- technically, slander.
Why do you care? You don't even like him.
I care about the truth. And I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Girls, knock it off.
I know what-- it's a beautiful day.
Here, take the keys to my car and go to the beach.
Really? Thanks, grandma.
Take Jessica with you.
Go.
I thought we were going to Venice.
Why are we in Malibu?
Because Christopher Wilde surfs in Malibu.
Today's the day. I can feel it.
- He's here somewhere. - I doubt that.
I just hope he's not with Alexis Bender,
Who, I.M.H.O., is totally not cute enough for him.
I wonder what his eyes look like...
Up close.
Blue.
Really blue.
Excuse me, is this seat taken?
No? Okay.
What a beautiful day.
Isn't it a beautiful day?
Oh, I'm sorry. You were sleeping.
Did I wake you?
No? Then you're awake.
Good.
Would you put some sunscreen on my back?
How did you know it was me?
The hat.
Kinda smells like fish.
No, I'm pretty sure that's you.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here? Go home.
- I tried. - And?
You wouldn't understand.
Oh, so you think you're so special
that a nobody like me couldn't possibly understand
how hard it is to be you?
Okay.
About 10 paparazzi are parked outside my house with their cameras.
Yeah, that is tough...
Not.
See? You don't understand.
I just need to get home in a car the paparazzi won't recognize.
So what are you driving?
Oh, you'd love it.
It's a classic, really vintage.
- Perfect. I could pay you-- - Stop that.
- Stop what? - Throwing your money around.
I mean you still owe me five grand for
your stay in the garage de la grandma.
- Just give me your keys. - Why?
Well, if you're taking our car, you can't leave us here without one.
Keys.
Come on.
Look, she's--
She's a 335hp first-generation '69 two-door
with original paint.
I love Cher, okay?
Cher?
You name your cars?
No, you can't see me
No, you can't be me
You know I'm on my game
That's when I'm in my shades.
Christopher, meet Petunia.
- You gotta be kidding me. - She runs like a top.
Have her back here in an hour.
Duck. Get down. Get down.
I can't believe it. How did they know where to find me?
My sister knows where to find you,
And she's from Kalamazoo.
Here, quick put these on.
- Now. - Okay.
All right, get in the car.
Okay, you really need to stop hitting me.
I'm sorry. Just get in, get in.
Quick, buckle up. Put your head down.
It's down.
- What are you doing? - Looking for something.
- Here, put this on. - Why?
- Do it now. - Okay.
You know, you drive like my grandpa.
You look like my grandma.
- Okay. - Oh, I need my sunglasses back.
Oh, I don't know. I kinda like 'em.
I'll give them to you later.
For reals? 'Cause my friends just won't believe
that i, Jessica Olson, have an actual pair of
Christopher Wilde's sunglasses worn by Christopher Wilde himself.
Will you autograph them for me?
Ha ha. Very funny.
What? Not, but seriously, I really want these glasses.
Uh-huh. Give 'em, come on.
So how long do I have to drive around with you this time?
Only until the paparazzi leave the beach.
Let's go do something.
- Like what? - Anything.
- What have you seen since you've been here? - Nothing.
I've been too busy following you around.
Really?
With my sister.
She idolizes you.
I, on the other hand, couldn't care less about you
or your city
Well, I know you don't like me,
but don't take it on Los Angeles
- It's one of the greatest cities in the world. - Really?
In fact, I'll be your tour guide.
I thought you needed to get home.
Eh, I'll take the long way.
Wake up to the blue sky.
Grab your shades and let's go for a ride.
Breakfast by the ocean.
We'll do lunch at sunset and vine.
Every day's a dream in Califoria
Every night the stars comes to the play.
Wish that I could always
Feel this way.
There's something about the sunshine, baby.
I'm seeing you in a whole new light.
Out of this world for the first time, baby.
Oh, it's so right.
There's something about the sunshine.
In Hollywood we're rocking.
In Malibu we hang out and chill.
It's all about the shopping.
From Melrose to Beverly Hills
Everywhere's a scene and now we're in it.
I don't want to paint this town alone.
When I see you smile
I always feel at home.
There's something about the sunshine, baby.
I'm seeing you in a whole new light.
L.A.'s a breeze with the palm trees swaying.
Oh, it's so right.
Now that you're here.
It's suddenly clear.
The sun's coming through.
I never knew
whatever I do, it's better with you.
It's better with you.
Yeah Yeah
There's something about the sunshine, baby.
I'm seeing you in a whole new light.
Out of this world for the first time, baby.
Oh, it's so right.
There's something about the sunshine, baby.
I'm seeing you in a whole new light.
Out of this world for the first time, baby.
Oh, it's so right.
There's something about the sunshine, baby.
I'm seeing you in a whole new light.
L.A.'s a breeze with the palm trees swaying.
What a perfect day.
Not anymore.
Man, I need to lose these vans.
Okay, take your next left.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Okay, take your next left.
The road loops back to the highway.
Or maybe not.
This isn't even a road anymore. This is--
Just keep driving.
That last sign said "Deer Crossing." There are no deer.
You know, you complain more than my sister.
Are we on the right road or not?
- Not? - Show it to me.
No, keep your eyes on the road. I'm the navigator.
- Is that what you call it? - What's that supposed to mean?
- You're such a Know-It-All. - A what?
A know-it-all. You're the queen of snap judgments.
"Turn here, this is the road. I'm sure of it."
- I was sure of it. - You're so sure,
you're sure of things you can't possibly be sure about.
- I am not. - And you're defensive.
Move the car. We're not moving.
Great.
We'll have to get out and push.
Wait wait. I'll help you.
- Don't touch me. - Why are you so mad?
Oh, I don't know. This.
Turning onto this road was not my idea.
You're blaming me?
- You're a terrible navigator. - You're a terrible driver.
- I'm a great driver. - Right.
- Jess, we've got to jump. - I'm not jumping.
- You got a better idea? - Use the branch as a bridge.
- It does not look stable. - It looks fine.
All right.
Here goes. All right.
It's sinking and making noises. Go faster.
This is my grandma's car.
I understand that. Give me your hand.
Grab the branch. Grab the branch.
Excuse you.
You killed Petunia!
My backpack!
Don't just stand there. Help me.
Give me your hand. Give me your hand.
I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm gonna die.
That's what gonna happen 'cause
My parents were gonna kill me
Why did I have to get in the stupid car with you?
- Answer your phone! - Okay. Sorry.
- Dad. - Son, can you hear me?
We are a little worried over here and--
Can you hear me?
Dad, there's no signal. Can you hear me?
Christopher, come home, honey, okay?
Or call us.
Hello?
Hello.
Look at this.
When we get out of here, you're paying for a new one.
Oh, I'm paying for it right now.
Jess.
- What? - Where are you going?
To the beach where my sister is probably freaking out right now
- Um, Jess. - What?
The beach is that way.
Please.
Christopher John Wilde?
Come on.
Am I being punked?
How are you doing? You okay?
Now you're concerned?
I've always been concerned.
- Maybe you should stop. - Why are you so grumpy?
I'm not grumpy or cranky or crabby.
I just want to get home to my family
explain why i disappeared and suffer the consequences.
You know what I want? I want to have fun.
For the first time in years
There's no reporters, no interviews, no crowds.
I'm having a great time
I want you to stop complaining so i can enjoy it.
Wow, so that's what it's like with you?
You don't get what you want
So you throw a big ol' tantrum and walk away?
I'll bet your friends chase after you when you do that.
"Oh, Christopher, I'm so sorry
I hurt your delicate feelings
Christopher, forgive me for not treating you
Like the big enormous star you think you are."
What a brat.
I'm a brat? I'm a brat?
- What about you? - Me?
For the last two days I've done nothing but think about you.
Really? So when you hit me with a door twice,
Hid me in your house,
wrecked my grandma's car and dropped me in mud.
You were just being thoughtful?
Oh, I pity your friends.
You wish you were one.
I'd rather go down with Petunia.
- I'm confused about something. - What?
When we were on our little photography tour,
I thought you like me.
- You thought wrong. - But everyone likes me.
Why is it that you don't like me?
Maybe because you think everybody likes you.
- Because I'm likeable. - No, because you're a star.
What does that mean?
You don't even see it, do you?
Your life isn't real.
You park in no-parking zones.
You never have to wait in line.
You buy anything you want anytime.
Your house is like a hotel.
You have so many people working for you,
I'll bet you don't even know their names.
- Do too. - Name one.
Bob.
You just made that up.
Well, Stubby knows everybody. That's his job.
See? That's not normal.
Your best friend is your driver.
Your parents are on your payroll.
And your girlfriend-- I mean, real people date someone
Because they want to be with them.
Why are you with Alexis?
That's all I'm saying.
Wait wait wait. Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, wait. Stop.
Are you saying I'm not a real person? Because I am.
I stand corrected.
All right, what if I told you
Something about me that no one else knows?
You collect your toenails in a peanut butter jar?
- No. - Then what?
From the first day I met you I just--
- Whoa. - Christopher!
Argh!
- I can't swim. - Oh, no.
Gotcha.
You're evil. you're so evil.
This is nice, isn't it?
Oh, man.
I wish I could stay here where no one can find me.
Why?
They all want something from me--
A performance, an interview, a photograph.
Even your parents?
That's complicated.
Sometimes I feel like they only care about
The business of Christopher Wilde.
- I'm sure that's not true. - I don't know.
I feel like all we talk about right now is this movie deal.
They think it's my next big career move.
What do you think?
I think if I get the offer, I have to take it.
What about your tour?
What about it?
Well, 30 countries, 12 weeks,
One million screaming fans.
I'm not an expert or anything, but it seems like a lot--
The tour and the movie at the same time.
I don't have a choice.
Everyone has a choice. What do you want to do?
Well, I know what I don't want to do.
I don't want to disappoint anybody, especially my fans.
I wouldn't be where I am without them,
So I just never say no
to anything.
- Maybe I don't understand. - What?
Your life. I mean, it's so different from mine.
Everything you do and say is so big and public.
Not everything.
Right now I'm here with you
And I feel like I can just be myself,
Not Christopher Wilde,
Not famous,
Just me.
How do you like it?
I like it a lot.
Me too.
Tell me something about you.
What do you want to know?
Everything.
That could take a while.
I live a very exciting life.
You're doing it again.
Doing what?
That thing with your eyes.
You mean this?
Okay, so comedy-- not your next big career move.
What? No, I'm funny.
Funny looking.
You like me.
You wish.
We should go.
Yeah.
Come on.
- Stubby? - Oh, whoa.
Sara?
What are you doing here?
Oh, that's not good.
We made it.
Yeah.
Look, I had a really great time today.
Me too.
You're so different from any other girl I've ever known.
Different weird, different annoying?
Different surprising.
In the best way.
I mean, you say things to me
Everyone else is afraid to say.
And you make me
See things about myself that I can't see.
You're pretty surprising too.
Really? How?
Well, for one thing, you're a terrible driver,
Which is strange for a guy with six cars.
I'm wounded.
Do you really think I'm bossy?
No.
I think you're amazing.
I think you're amazing too.
What are you doing?
Whoo, that was close.
Okay, back to the real world.
You know what happens next, right?
No.
This ends here.
What does?
This. Us.
You can't tell anybody about what
happened today, not even your parents
Why? They're not gonna post it on their blog or anything.
Look, if we go down there, if we get photographed together,
It will get crazy and I won't get this movie deal.
Why dose it have to get crazy?
Because I'm Christopher Wilde
And you're just an ordinary girl.
I have to go now.
Wait, Jess, Jess. Wait wait, hold on.
What just happened?
You tell me. One second I'm amazing
And the next you're embarrassed to be seen with me?
- Jess, I'm not embarrassed. - oh, really?
If I was Alexis Bender, you'd rush right down there
And make sure somebody took our picture.
But, no, I'm just an ordinary girl.
That is not what I meant. look, I--
I meant you're normal. and I want you to stay that way.
Right.
Just leave me alone.
Jess, stop, please.
What?
The pictures you took
Of us--
I should probably keep them.
You want my camera?
Just in case.
I wouldn't want the pictures to, you know, get out.
Fine. you want my pictures? Here.
There's nothing I'd want to remember anyway.
I need cab fare to get home.
I'm going to Hollywood, not Hawaii.
Just keep it.
I still owe you for my stay at garage de la grandma.
Jess, wait.
I don't want to say goodbye like this.
Okay, how about this?
How about we both forget this whole day ever happened?
You won't talk about me and
I promise I won't talk about you
Go ahead and judge me, okay?
But you don't know what it would be like.
The paparazzi never go away.
Once they have you in their sights
They won't quit until they get what they want.
And when they finally get it,
They'll turn it into something ugly
They'll ruin everything.
They don't have to.
You already did.
I am no superman
I can't take your hand
And fly you anywhere you want to go
I can't read your mind
Like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you want to hear
But I'll be your hero
'Cause I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
And I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be a hero
Could you be the one,
Could you be the one for me?
Then I'll be a hero
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?
I'll be a hero
Searching high and low
Trying every road
But if I see your face
How will I know, yeah
I'll put my trust in fate
That you will come my way
And if it's right, it's undeniable, yeah
I'll be your hero
I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be a hero
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?
I'll be a hero
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?
I'll be a hero
So incredible
Some kind of miracle
That when it's meant to be
I'll become a hero
Oh, so I wait wait wait wait for you
Yeah, I'll be a hero
I
I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
like gravity I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be a hero
Could you be the one? Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?
I'll be a hero
Could you be the one? Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?
I'll be a hero
That was great, Chris. Take five.
Thanks, guys. That was great.
- Take a break. - All right, man.
Good job, guys.
Yo, you okay?
Yeah.
I just can't get her out of my mind.
Yeah, me neither.
She cacked all over my shoes.
She's real, you know?
She's annoyingly honest.
She's smart. She's cool.
She's funny. She's beautiful.
Ahem. hello, boys.
Talking about me?
Dude.
Look, Alexis, I can explain--
I don't want to know who she is.
Is she an actress? Is she more famous than me?
No, she's not an actress. She's not famous at all.
Then I don't understand why you would pick her.
I didn't pick her. It just happened.
Silly, that kind of stuff only happens in the movies.
This is the real world.
Oh, I have a date with Zach.
I have to go.
Wait, are you breaking up with me?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Friends?
Sure.
Dude, you are free.
Bye, grandma. I love you.
Goodbye, Sara. Love you more.
You're sure you're gonna be okay, mom?
Yes, Barbara. And you mustn't believe
What you read about old folks.
Howard and I are going to be just fine.
I can see that. Love you.
Love you. Love you.
How about you, Jessie? Are you gonna be all right?
Oh, sweetheart. I know it hurts right now,
But things are not always what they seem in the moment.
Given some time,
Life has a way of working itself out for the better.
- Really, grandma? - Yup.
I mean, look at me.
I've been trying to get rid of that
ugly old car since your grandpa died
Oh, honey.
- I love you, grandma. - I love you, sweetheart.
- Bye, Howard. - Take care, sweetheart.
You too.
- Bye-bye. - Bye.
Bye, everybody.
Jessica Olson--
Such a nice name for a nice girl.
Where did you get that?
Where do you think I got
Libby Lam had a whole fleet of photographers
On you for the past two days.
I know. But I was so careful.
This is exactly the kind of thing
I was afraid of with you,kid.
You're obviously not serious about doing this movie.
Maybe you're just too young.
No, sir.
Look, I made a mistake.
Come on, Alan.
Give us a chance to fix this.
All right. All right.
Make the story go away.
- How do we do that? - You call Libby Lam.
You offer her an exclusive, say you don't know this girl.
You say she's just some fan who was following you around all day.
You want me to lie?
Christopher,
This is the tabloid press, dude, not the supreme court.
Say whatever you have to say because, I promise you,
Either this girl goes away or the movie does.
Okay?
Goodbye.
So we're talking about this girl--
Jessica Olson.
Yeah, she looks kind of familiar.
Come on, Christopher.
We know you were at the beach with her
Look, lots of fans come to malibu to watch me surf.
I try to say hi to everybody that comes up to me.
Maybe I signed an autograph for her or something.
Excuse us. It's okay.
According to our sources, she came all the way
from kalamazoo, michigan, just to see you.
Wow, really?
I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to meet her.
You have to talk to us, Jess.
What happened out there in California?
Nothing bad, I promise.
I can't talk about it.
Please just trust me.
Christopher Wilde's talking about you on "Starstruck."
So you're saying that you don't know this girl.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know what she's saying about me,
But I don't know anybody named Jessica Olson.
Sorry, Libby.
There's nothing more to tell.
Okay. You heard it here first.
I'm Libby Lam. This is "Starstruck News."
Okay, they need to go now.
I thought you liked being on TV.
Yeah, but I need to buy a dress for the dance and
they're blocking my car.
Christopher said this would happen.
He said it would get crazy.
Celebrities might have to put up with this,
But I don't.
Jessica, Jessica,
Tell us about your weekend with Christopher Wilde.
We only want the truth.
You don't want the truth.
You want a story.
You take a good, normal person
And turn him into your own little reality show.
You build him up into a big celebrity
Just so you can tear him down in public,
Just so you can sell magazines and TV shows.
That's really sick.
And Christopher Wilde is just one example.
He's talented and successful.
He has all the stuff lots of kids dream of having.
But thanks to you, he's had to give up
Some of the best things in life--
Freedom,
Privacy,
Honesty.
So congratulations. You've created a celebrity
But you have wrecked the human being inside.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Did you get that?
Jessica, Jessica, just one more question.
In your opinion, who is Christopher Wilde really?
Who is he?
I don't know.
The Christopher Wilde you're all so obsessed with--
I promise you, I've never met him
And I wouldn't want to.
Didn't you say you liked her because she was so honest?
Yeah.
Wow.
Congratulations, Chris. You did it.
You got her to lie for you.
I didn't have a choice, ok?
Oh.
All right.
- Where are you going? - To find my best friend,
cause he's not the guy sitting here now.
Dude, what are you talking about?
"I didn't have a choice."
Lately that's been your answer to everything, man.
Really?
Yeah.
Your life-- your choice, man.
What do you want?
Cut!
Guys, you nailed it.
Perfect, guys. That was the one.
That was perfect. Just go one more time.
Sir, a great take.
Christopher!
Buddy, great news--
You're in. Rehearsals start on Monday.
Actually, I'm not available.
Not a problem. We'll change the date.
No, I came to say thanks for the offer,
But if I have to lie to get into
your little club, I think I'll pass.
Wow.
The kid's got edge, fire. I like that.
And cue the rain.
He has two weeks between Oslo and London.
We could make him available for the movie then.
That's tight. He needs some down time.
Okay. ooh ooh, all right.
How about after Tokyo but before Melbourne?
What's going on?
- Hi, honey. - Hey.
We're working the movie
into your tour schedule.
Oh.
I don't want to do the movie anymore.
Sweetie, don't be silly. Of course you do.
We're about to make the deal, bud.
Well, it's too late. I've already passed.
Honey, that's not your decision.
Yes, it is.
I'm 17 years old.
I just want to have fun and make music.
Okay okay.
Hey, no worries. We'll handle it.
No.
No, it's time that I start managing my own life.
So...
You know what? You're fired.
I'd really like you to just be my parents from now on.
Okay, come here.
Turn.
It's just not girlie enough.
But imagine it on me.
Girlier, right?
Hmm, maybe.
Why don't you just try it on yourself?
Stop whining.
Here, we have three hours before the dance.
Go change.
Kids.
So what was it like to have reporters on your lawn?
Exciting, but I need my privacy too.
We all watched your sister on T.V.
And she looked wacko.
Really?
Yeah, it was so weird the way she made up that story
about meeting Christopher Wilde.
She is so pathetic.
Oops.
Do you think she heard that?
A.J., you're an idiot.
- What? - Get out.
- But-- - Go.
Jessica.
Go away.
No, I actually live here.
What?
Go with me to the dance.
I thought I was pathetic and embarrassing.
Only if you actually dance.
So don't.
Come on,
Come on, let's make you pretty enough to be my sister.
You look good.
Don't slouch.
You know, Sara,
In a weird way, you're a good sister.
Oh.
Pretend you don't know me.
Lame.
Jessica Olson?
There are some things I forgot to say to you back in California.
Can't blame you
for thinking that you never really knew me at all
I tried to deny you.
but nothing ever made me feel so wrong.
I thought I was protecting you
from everything that I go through.
But I know that we got lost along the way.
Here I am
with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never
gonna make that mistake again
you brought me closer to who I really am.
So come take my hand.
I want the world to see
what you mean to me.
What you mean to me.
What did you think? That you could just come here
And sing to me and everything would be fine?
Um, yes.
No? No no.
Well, which is it?
I just came to tell you I was wrong
About everything,
Especially about you.
Don't you think you're a little late?
Everyone here thinks I was lying.
I'm the one who lied.
I lied about knowing Jessica Olson.
The truth is I know Jessica Olson.
Jessica Olson is a terrible navigator and a know-it-all,
But she's honest.
When she makes a promise, she keeps it.
She understands me like no one else does.
And I'm crazy about her.
Jessica, I'm so sorry. I know that I hurt you
And I'll never do anything like that again.
Just please forgive me.
- Go away, now. - Oh, okay.
Get out of here. Move it.
Christopher, this is my sister Sara.
Sara, this is Christopher Wilde.
Sara, you wanna dance with me?
Uh-huh.
I think I got this one, Chrissy.
You didn't have to come all the way to Michigan for this.
Yeah, I did.
It's not cool to ask a girl out on the phone.
So...
Will you go out with me
On a real date?
Do I have to wear a disguise?
No.
Do you?
No.
Then yes,
I'd really like that.
Oh, hey, I almost forgot.
For you.
You remembered.
How do I look?
Like a superstar.
Party up, get your hands to the sky now.
Yeah, if you want to get fly.
We can do it all night now, yeah, turn the beat up high.
One time for the ladies, yeah, and the fellows, come on.
This joint'll go crazy till the lights come on.
all night, here we go now
Come on and get right on the floor now.
Now now, baby girl, don't slow down.
Cause me and you gonna have a showdown.
Little mama, get low down.
And I'm rock you down like this.
We moving and grooving each move, can't lose
with a flow that is so swift.
So maybe when you wake up
and your face still got that grin.
You can smile all day in a fly girl way.
And say, yeah, I'm that kid.
And maybe we can get the d.j.
to play this track all night.
and when I ask "how you feel out there?"
Everybody just say "all right".
Put your hands to the sky now.
Yeah, if you want to get fly.
We can do it all night now, yeah, turn the beat up high.
One time for the ladies, yeah, and the fellows, come on.
We gonna go crazy till the lights come on.
