#but ms williams is the star of this show

[misterah13]

Here are some true facts for fnaf

1. Circus Baby is actually smaller than ballora.

2. There are multiple bidybabs just like there are multiple minireenas.

3. The reason why four minireenas spell baby is because ballora has a crush on circus baby and circus baby feels the same so circus baby x ballora is canon. And no ballora is not possessed by ms afton she never existed and it’s never confirmed.

4. Ennard actually has his own voice when you pitch up the mysterious voice in night 2 of sister location.

5. The minireenas and bidybabs are part of ennard and inside ennard too since ennard is the amalgamation of all the funtime animatronics.

6. Helpy is apparently the smallest character.

7. Five Nights At Freddy’s Sister Location Custom Night take place inside of ennard.

8. Five Nights At Freddy’s Sister Location takes place before Five Nights At Freddy’s 2

9. The private room is after the scooping room ending because after micheal got scooped and after the scooping room ending the circus baby mini game appears and when micheal beats the mini game correctly night 5 will reset with micheal having a keycard to get to the private room. Then after the private room and when ennard came to the living room ennard rips out micheals insides and that’s where the sister location custom night begins so the sister location custom night and the private room is canon. Along that yenndo, bonnet, lolbit and electrobab are canon.

10. Ultimate Custom Night takes place after Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator because it’s william’s darkest pit so ultimate custom night is canon and it is the last fnaf game and the last page of the lore. And the fredbear design in ucn is the official Fredbear along that spring bonnie model is before springtrap

11. Cassidy was the first soul inside fredbear before cc and cassidy is taller than cc.

12. Circus Baby’s Pizza World takes place during the events of fnaf 4 along after that is the first freddy fazbear’s pizza before the toys and charlotte’s death too.

13. The halloween characters from fnaf 4 are canon.

14. Dee Dee and Old Man Consequences are canon.

15. The Puppet appears in fnaf 1 but off screen.

16. Every object and animatronics in freddy fazbear’s pizzeria simulator are all in the pizzeria let’s say the rockstar animatronics and lefty are at the middle, the mediocre melodies are at the left side the posh pizzeria animatronics are at the right side and the trash and the gang are at the bottom right. And the paper cups and plates, colorful cups and plates, foil party set, and the neon party set will be at the tables, security puppet will be on the right side next to deluxe concert stage, candy cadet will be on the left side next to the star curtain stage which is on the left next to the deluxe concert stage, egg baby will be at the bottom left, prize king will be at the bottom right, and for the rest of the items some items will be at the left and some items will be at the right including gumball swivelhands. All the speaker sets will be at the middle with the show stages along with the novelty traffic lights. Oh and the neon jukebox will be at the left.

17. The fredbear design in ucn is actually the real fredbear design we got the official fredbear design. And spring bonnie design is before springtrap.

18. The foxy mask bully is actually micheal afton

19. Elizabeth is the big sister of cc

20. And lastly….Cassidy went to the afterlife in the end of ultimate custom night and william is gone for good. Meaning it’s the end of the series.

Chapter under the cut

May 10, 1981

V's eyes are filling with blood. Possibly seeing an external healthcare provider, need to stop him from doing so. V's gait has changed, possible changes to bone structure?

---

"Daniel- do you prefer Daniel or Danny?" The lawyer from Illinois asked.

"Danny," he said into the microphone and winced at the feedback.

"Hi, Danny. I'm counselor Williams from the State of Illinois. I've got a few healthcare questions for you, okay?"

He nodded.

"I'm sorry Danny, can you verbally indicate?"

"Yes. Um. Yes, you can ask questions."

"Thank you. When was your last physical?"

"About 6 months ago, I think? Right before Christmas."

Ms. Williams nodded. "What doctor did you go to?"

"Dad handles it." He said.

"When was the last time you went to a dentist?"

He shrugged. "I've never went to one."

"How regularly do you have vaccinations?"

"Every year, like everybody else?"

"And what doctor handles that?"

"Mom."

"How recently did you go to an eye doctor?"

"Right after the accident."

"And who did the exam?"

He shrugged. "I don't know."

"Where was the exam?"

"In the lab downstairs."

"I see. Have you been to a doctor's office, outside of your parent's lab?"

"Not that I can remember. I mean, except for the exam a few days ago."

"Objection, leading the witness!" The GIW lawyer snapped.

"Overruled. The questions are neutral," the judge replied.

"Thank you, your honor. Danny, have you ever had a sprain or broken bone?"

"I broke my leg when I was 6. And my arm last year."

"How did those injuries happen?"

"Um. I got dared to jump out of a tree and broke my leg. And then broke my arm falling at school."

"And did you go to the ER or see a doctor after either of those injuries?"

"Mom and dad handled it in the lab," he answered.

"Danny, your X-rays and physical exam show evidence of multiple biopsies and several spinal taps." He winced at the memory. "Yes, I'm told those are painful. Do you know why those painful procedures were done to you?"

He shrugged. "That's part of the physical exam every year. It was weird you guys didn't do it."

"I see. Did you ever ask why?"

"Yeah, but they just said it was important."

"Thank you. Did your parents ever do biopsies or spinal taps without painkillers?"

"It interferes with results. That's what they say- about painkillers." Judging by the muttering and glares, there was something wrong with his answers. "Am I doing this right?"

"Are you answering honestly?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Then you're doing it right, don't worry. What is your earliest memory?"

He frowned. What kind of- "the stars, I think? Mom used to take me stargazing."

"How old would you say you were."

"I don't know, 4 or 5?"

"Ok. Do you remember living anywhere but the Amity Park house?"

He frowned. "No, not really."

"But you moved there with your family 8 years ago, when you were 6. Correct?"

He shrugged. "I guess. I don't remember the old house."

"How many languages do you speak fluently? And what are they?"

"Objection, what's the point?" Counselor Carlson asked.

"Sustained. Do you have a point with this, counselor Williams?"

"Yes your honor, I do," she replied. "Please, just a few more questions."

"You get 6. Choose carefully."

"Thank you, your honor. Danny, the languages?"

"English, Esperanto, Spanish, and Portuguese," he answered.

"When did you learn them?"

"I learned Esperanto for a ghost friend of mine, and Spanish in school. I've..." He frowned. "I don't really remember learning Portuguese, but I've always known it."

"Your blood type is A-, correct?"

"Yes ma'am" he said, still frowning about the Portuguese. It wasn't like it was common in Illinois. Why didn't he remember learning it?

"3 more, counselor. I'm not seeing a point yet."

"Don't worry, your honor, we're getting there. Were you adopted, Daniel?"

"No ma'am. Not that I know of."

"What was your earliest memory in terms of people? Think back, take a few minutes if you need to."

He did need to. His first was to say his mom, but- "a lady? She had black hair like me. And dark skin, like I get in the summer. I think she was crying. I don't know, it's weird."

"Last question. Davi, when were you brought into the US?"

He shrugged. "I was born here, I guess?"

"Thank you, Davi."

"You're welcome?"

"Your honor, exactly 11 years ago," Ms. Williams began and judging by the slowly mounting horror on the judge's face she made her point well. "11 years ago, Davi Cortez was reported missing by his mother in Paraguay. His father admitted to selling the boy to settle gambling debts. We ran his pictures and prints, and they were a match. We also have photo evidence of Maddie Fenton taking young Davi from his mother. 3 months later, Danny suddenly appears in the US."

"His blood type is A-, while Jack Fenton's is B+, and Maddie Fenton's is AB+, a biological impossibility."

"He's listed as a home birth. There's no pictures, no ultrasounds, and no indication at all Maddie Fenton was pregnant during the 5 years preceding his appearance. In addition, we approached Mrs. Cortez, who has not stopped looking for her son, and she permitted a DNA test." Counselor Williams flipped through the files. "Your honor, in Section D, part 1, you'll see the DNA tests proving with 97% certainty Maria Cortez is Danny's mother, part 2 will show a 99% certainty that Maddie is not his mother, and part 3 will show 100% proof Jack is not his father."

Yelling erupted throughout the courtroom. "Danny Fenton is Davi Cortez. He was trafficked at 3 years old, sold to the Fenton family. I move to remove him from their custody immediately."

"Can I- can I see?" Danny asked quietly. Counselor Williams gave him a sympathetic look and passed over the folder marked Section D.

He swallowed. "Your honor, I have no further questions for Danny Fenton- or, as I should say, Davi Cortez."

---

5 weeks, 6 days prior to trial-

The phone rang from a U.S. number. Odd, she had no friends there. She picked up.

In rough Portuguese, a woman asked, "Hello, is this Maria Cortez?"

She confirmed it was her. "We may have found your son, Davi."

She looked over at the photos- her baby boy on her mama's lap, in her arms at the hospital, and a few days before the bastard she married stole him between long, tall candles below a cross.

"You are sure?"

"We would need a DNA test to be certain, but-"

"Whatever you need. I want my baby."

Tina Turner, Magnetic Singer of Explosive Power, Is Dead at 83

Hailed in the 1960s for her dynamic performances with her first husband, Ike, she became a sensation as a recording artist, often echoing her personal struggles in her songs.

By William Grimes Published May 24, 2023 Updated May 25, 2023

Tina Turner, the earthshaking singer whose rasping vocals, sexual magnetism and explosive energy made her an unforgettable live performer and one of the most successful recording artists of all time, died on Wednesday at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, near Zurich. She was 83.

Her publicist Bernard Doherty announced the death in a statement but did not provide the cause. She had a stroke in recent years and was known to be struggling with a kidney disease and other illnesses.

Ms. Turner embarked on her half-century career in the late 1950s, while still attending high school, when she began singing with Ike Turner and his band, the Kings of Rhythm. At first she was only an occasional performer, but she soon became the group’s star attraction — and Mr. Turner’s wife. With her potent, bluesy voice and her frenetic dancing style, she made an instant impression.

Their ensemble, soon renamed the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, became one of the premier touring soul acts in Black venues on the so-called chitlin’ circuit. After the Rolling Stones invited the group to open for them, first on a British tour in 1966 and then on an American tour in 1969, white listeners in both countries began paying attention.

Ms. Turner, who insisted on adding rock songs by the Beatles and the Stones to her repertoire, reached an enormous new audience, giving the Ike and Tina Turner Revue its first Top 10 hit with her version of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song “Proud Mary” in 1971 and a Grammy Award for best R&B vocal performance by a group.

“In the context of today’s show business, Tina Turner must be the most sensational professional onstage,” Ralph J. Gleason, the influential jazz and pop critic for The San Francisco Chronicle, wrote in a review of a Rolling Stones concert in Oakland in November 1969. “She comes on like a hurricane. She dances and twists and shakes and sings and the impact is instant and total.”

But if the Ike and Tina Turner Revue was a success, the Ike and Tina Turner marriage was not. Mr. Turner was abusive. After she escaped the marriage in her 30s, her career faltered. But her solo album “Private Dancer,” released in 1984, returned her to the spotlight — and lifted her into the pop stratosphere.

Working with younger songwriters, and backed by a smooth, synthesized sound that provided a lustrous wrapping for her raw, urgent vocals, she delivered three mammoth hits: the title song, written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits; “Better Be Good to Me”; and “What’s Love Got to Do With It.”

Referring to its “innovative fusion of old-fashioned soul singing and new wave synth-pop,” Stephen Holden, in a review for The New York Times, called the album “a landmark not only in the career of the 45-year-old singer, who has been recording since the late 1950s, but in the evolution of pop-soul music itself.”

At the 1985 Grammy Awards, “What’s Love Got to Do With It” won three awards, for record of the year, song of the year and best female pop vocal performance, and “Better Be Good To Me” won for best female rock vocal performance.

The album went on to sell five million copies and ignite a touring career that established Ms. Turner as a worldwide phenomenon. In 1988 she appeared before about 180,000 people at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, breaking a record for the largest paying audience for a solo artist. After her “Twenty Four Seven” tour in 2000 sold more than $100 million in tickets, Guinness World Records announced that she had sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer in history.

‘Well-to-Do Farmers’

Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on Nov. 26, 1939, in Brownsville, Tenn., northeast of Memphis, and spent her earliest years on the Poindexter farm in Nutbush, an unincorporated area nearby, where she sang in the choir of the Spring Hill Baptist Church.

Her father, Floyd, known by his middle name, Richard, worked as the farm’s overseer — “We were well-to-do farmers,” Ms. Turner told Rolling Stone in 1986 — and had a difficult relationship with his wife, Zelma (Currie) Bullock.

Her parents left Anna and her older sister, Alline, with relatives when they went to work at a military installation in Knoxville during World War II. The family reunited after the war, but Zelma left her husband a few years later and Anna lived with her grandmother in Brownsville.

After rejoining her mother in St. Louis, she attended Sumner High School there. She and Alline began frequenting the Manhattan Club in East St. Louis, Ill., to hear Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm.

“I wanted to get up there and sing sooooo bad,” Ms. Turner recalled in “I, Tina: My Life Story” (1986), written with Kurt Loder. “But that took an entire year.”

One night, during one of the band’s breaks, the drummer, Eugene Washington, handed her the microphone and she began singing the B.B. King song “You Know I Love You,” which Mr. Turner had produced. “When Ike heard me, he said, ‘My God!’” she told People magazine in 1981. “He couldn’t believe that voice coming out of this frail little body.”

In his book “Takin’ Back My Name: The Confessions of Ike Turner” (1999), written with Nigel Cawthorne, Mr. Turner wrote: “I’d be writing songs with Little Richard in mind, but I didn’t have no Little Richard to sing them, so Tina was my Little Richard. Listen closely to Tina and who do you hear? Little Richard singing in the female voice.”

Mr. Turner used her as a backup singer, billed as Little Ann, on his 1958 record “Boxtop.” When Art Lassiter, the group’s lead singer, failed to show up for the recording of “A Fool in Love,” she stepped in. The record was a hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 27 on the pop chart.

Mr. Turner gave his protégée — who by now was also his romantic partner — a new name, Tina, inspired by the television character Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. And he renamed the group the Ike and Tina Turner Revue.

It was a dynamic, disciplined ensemble second only to the James Brown Revue, but until “Proud Mary,” it never achieved significant crossover success. Up to that point it had only one single in the pop Top 20 in the United States, “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine” in 1961. The group did generate several hits on the R&B charts, notably “I Idolize You,” “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine” and “Tra La La La La,” but most of its income came from a relentless touring schedule.

Ms. Turner’s relationship with Mr. Turner, whom she married in 1962 on a quick trip to Tijuana, Mexico, was turbulent. He was dictatorial, violent at times and, in the 1970s, hopelessly addicted to cocaine. She left him in 1976, with 36 cents and a Mobil gasoline card in her pocket, and divorced him two years later. He died of a cocaine overdose in 2007.

“When I left, I was living a life of death,” she told People in 1981. “I didn’t exist. I didn’t fear him killing me when I left, because I was already dead. When I walked out, I didn’t look back.”

Her marriage provided much of the material for the 1993 film “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” with Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne in the lead roles. Ms. Turner rerecorded some of her hits, and a new song, “I Don’t Wanna Fight,” for the film, but otherwise declined to participate. “Why would I want to see Ike Turner beat me up again?” she said at the time.

A Second Career

In 1966, the record producer Phil Spector, after hearing the Ike and Tina Turner Revue at the Galaxy Club in Los Angeles, offered $20,000 to produce their next song, on condition that Mr. Turner stay away from the studio. The result, “River Deep, Mountain High,” is often regarded as the high-water mark of Mr. Spector’s patented “wall of sound.” It failed in the United States, barely reaching the Top 100, but it was a big hit in Britain, where it marked the beginning of a second career for Ms. Turner.

“I loved that song,” she wrote in her 1986 memoir. “Because for the first time in my life, it wasn’t just R&B — it had structure, it had a melody.” She added: “I was a singer, and I knew I could do other things; I just never got the opportunity. ‘River Deep’ showed people what I had in me.”

After she walked out on her marriage, encumbered with debt, Ms. Turner struggled to build a solo career, appearing in ill-conceived cabaret acts, before signing with Roger Davies, the manager of Olivia Newton-John, in 1979. Guided by Mr. Davies, she returned to the gritty, hard-rocking style that had made her a crossover star and would propel her through the coming decades as one of the most durable performers on the concert stage.

Her fellow artists took notice. In 1982, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, of the band and production company known as the British Electric Foundation, recruited her to record the Temptations’ 1970 hit “Ball of Confusion” for an album of soul and rock covers backed by synthesizers. Its success led to a second collaboration, a remake of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.” A surprise hit in the United States and Britain, it was the turning point that led to “Private Dancer.”

Ms. Turner followed the runaway success of “Private Dancer” with two more hit albums: “Break Every Rule” (1986) and “Foreign Affair” (1989), which contained the hit single “The Best.”

She made an impact onscreen as well. Ten years after she solidified her persona as a rock ’n’ roller with a riveting performance as the Acid Queen in Ken Russell’s film version of “Tommy,” the Who’s rock opera, she drew praise for her performance as Aunty Entity, the iron-fisted ruler of postapocalyptic Bartertown, in “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” in 1985.

That film also provided her with two more hit singles, “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)” and “One of the Living,” which was named the best female rock vocal performance at the Grammys in 1986.

In 1991 she and Mr. Turner, in prison at the time for cocaine possession, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. (She was inducted again as a solo artist in 2021.) She received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2005 and a Grammy lifetime achievement award in 2018.

In 1985 she began a relationship with the German music executive Erwin Bach, whom she married in 2013 after moving with him to Küsnacht and becoming a Swiss citizen. He survives her. Ron, her only child with Mr. Turner, died of colon cancer complications in 2022. Another son, Craig, from her relationship with Raymond Hill, the saxophone player for the Kings of Rhythm, died by suicide in 2018. Her sister, Alline Bullock, died in 2010. Ms. Turner raised two children of Mr. Turner’s, Ike Jr. and Michael.

Complete information on her survivors was not immediately available.

After releasing the album “Twenty Four Seven” in 1999, at 60 and touring to promote it, Ms. Turner announced her retirement. It did not last. In 2008, after performing with Beyoncé at the Grammy Awards, she embarked on an international tour marking her 50th year in the music business.

She announced her retirement again a few years later, but she remained active in other ways. In 2018, she published her second memoir, “My Love Story.”

She and Mr. Bach were executive producers of “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical,” a stage show based on her life and incorporating many of her hits, which opened in London in 2018 and in Hamburg and on Broadway in 2019; Ms. Turner worked with the show’s choreographer and shared memories with its writers.

While reviews were mixed, the musical earned 12 Tony Award nominations; Adrienne Warren, who starred as Ms. Turner, won the award for best actress in a leading role. “In a performance that is part possession, part workout and part wig,” Jesse Green wrote in a review for The Times, “Adrienne Warren rocks the rafters and dissolves your doubts about anyone daring to step into the diva’s high heels.”

The show closed after four months because of the pandemic lockdown, reopening in October 2021 before closing again a year later and going on the road. There is currently a production touring the U.S., as well as productions in Stuttgart, Germany; Sydney, Australia; and London.

Through it all, Ms. Turner’s music endured.

“My music doesn’t sound dated; it’s still standing strong,” she told The Daily Mail in 2008. “Like me.”

A correction was made on May 24, 2023: 

An earlier version of this obituary misstated at one point where Ms. Turner attended high school. As correctly noted elsewhere, it was St. Louis — not East St. Louis, Ill.

A correction was made on May 25, 2023:

Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this obituary misstated the current number of productions of “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.” In addition to the one touring the United States and the one in London, there are productions in Stuttgart, Germany, and Sydney, Australia.

Mr. Doran said her killing was “the reason sex work should be decriminalized.” The murder of anyone is a tragedy but of course a man is using this as a reason to make it legal to exploit women and girls.

Koko Da Doll, Star of Film on Transgender Sex Workers, Is Killed in Atlanta

The 35-year-old was featured in “Kokomo City,” a documentary about four Black transgender sex workers that won awards at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

By Michael Levenson

April 21, 2023

Koko Da Doll, who was featured in “Kokomo City,” a documentary about four Black transgender sex workers that won awards at the Sundance Film Festival this year, was fatally shot in Atlanta on Tuesday, the film’s director said.

Koko Da Doll, 35, whose name was Rasheeda Williams, “was the latest victim of violence against Black transgender women,” the director, D. Smith, said in a statement.

“I created ‘Kokomo City’ because I wanted to show the fun, humanized, natural side of Black trans women,” Ms. Smith said. “I wanted to create images that didn’t show the trauma or the statistics of murder of transgender lives. I wanted to create something fresh and inspiring. I did that. We did that! But here we are again.”

The Atlanta Police Department said that it was actively investigating three violent crimes against transgender women this year — the fatal shooting on Tuesday, another fatal shooting on April 11 and a shooting that critically injured a female victim in January.

“While these individual incidents are unrelated, we are very aware of the epidemic-level violence Black and Brown transgender women face in America,” the department said in a statement.

The department said it was exploring the possibility that the shootings were motivated by hate.

But it added: “In these cases, our investigators have not found any indication the victim was targeted for being transgender or a member of the L.G.B.T.Q.+ community, and these cases do not appear to be random acts of violence.”

The police did not release the name of the victim in Tuesday’s killing, and an investigator at the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said on Friday that the victim’s family had asked that the name not be released.

The police asked for the public’s help in identifying a person who was seen on surveillance footage. A brief video clip released by the Atlanta Police Department showed a person wearing a football-style jersey with No. 2 on the front walking through a parking lot and up the stairs outside a house at night.

The Human Rights Campaign said that at least 10 transgender or gender nonconforming people have been killed in the United States this year, although many of the deaths are not reported or are misreported.

Since 2013, a total of 19 transgender or gender-nonconforming people have been killed in Georgia, the organization said, and nine of those killings occurred in Atlanta.

Ms. Williams starred in “Kokomo City,” along with Liyah Mitchell, Dominque Silver and Daniella Carter. The film, which was shot in black and white, was praised by critics for its frank exploration of themes of labor, race, gender, beauty and sex, and it won the NEXT Innovator Award and Audience Award: NEXT at Sundance.

Harris Doran, a producer of “Kokomo City,” said he was grief-stricken and, “To know Koko, was to love Koko.”

“She was the sweetest, kindest and gentlest soul,” he said on Instagram, adding: “Koko was working so hard to get out. She is brilliant in the film and when you see it, you will fall in love with her just as we all have.”

Mr. Doran said her killing was “the reason sex work should be decriminalized.”

“Sex work is work,” he said. “If it were not made illegal for purely puritanical reasons, then it could be regulated and women like Koko could be protected.”

The Sundance Film Festival said on Twitter that it was honored that Koko Da Doll had attended the festival, “where she reminded Black trans women, ‘We can do anything, we can be whatever we want to be.’”

Star of Westminster Abbey falls shamefully to earth

Sat Nov 29 1997 - The Irish Times

What we have witnessed this week, as Charles Spencer, ninth Earl of the name, tries to engineer the divorce deal of the century, is less the revenge of the women than the revenge of the press.

The armour of the white knight who threw down the gauntlet in Westminster Abbey in the name of his dead sister, Diana, was always a little tarnished if you cared to look. But it's surprising what reflected brilliance can do, and with public emotions running high against them, the fourth estate had no option but to bite its collective lip. After the show-stopping performance at the pulpit, where the sharing, caring Spencer family values were offered as Princes William and Harry's only escape from the Windsor strait jacket, Spencer must have thought he was unassailable.

How wrong he was. But was his downfall achieved by flouting the laws of privacy, about which he has so long campaigned? By long lenses? By rooting through dustbins? No. Earl Spencer has got his come-uppance through his own greed and arrogance. The Greeks have a word for it: hubris. The word that best describes the press's emotion is German, schadenfreude - roughly translated as glee.

Had he pursued his divorce in England, the case would have been heard behind closed doors and the lurid details of the "serial adulterer" and "callous husband" would never have made it into newsprint. An English court, however, would have been unlikely to let him get away with the £300,000 he has on the table in South Africa, a sum which counsel for his wife has described as being barely sufficient to get "a house in a very unattractive, distant suburb with problems such as crime". She is asking for £3.75 million.

READ MORE

Yesterday Spencer's counsel offered a more humdrum explanation for the decision to opt for a South African court. It was important the judge trying the case should know the cost of a jar of Marmite in the Cape Town suburb where Countess Spencers now lives. The deal on offer was unprecedented for a wife in South Africa, "particularly where the marriage only lasted five years". Five years, four children and one heir.

The other numbers being bandied around concern his mistresses, said to total 12. The first was Sally Ann Lasson, a newspaper cartoonist, six months into the marriage while his wife was expecting their first child. The dumped Ms Lasson got her revenge on the old-Etonian aristo with a suitably sensational kiss-and-tell story. Spencer squawked foul, but got nowhere when he discovered that libel and the truth don't mix. Surprisingly perhaps, his wife took him back. Not surprisingly, however, the episode hadn't done her ego much good. Before their marriage Victoria Lockwood had been a model. Cocaine, she had been told, would keep her thin. She kept thin. She claims her drug days were over by the time she married, but Spencer's perfidy sent her ricocheting back to addiction. This time drink. Eating disorders set in.

These are now cited by Spencer as the reason the marriage broke down. Also the fact that she cannot be trusted to handle a large sum of money. However, he trusts her enough to have custody of the children.

Charles Spencer himself was the youngest of a family of four with three older sisters, a mirror image of his own family. This is less of a coincidence than might at first appear. In England only a son can inherit a title and what comes with it - in the Spencers' case, Althrop, the family's stately home in Northhamptonshire, its land and its contents. The whole shooting match would otherwise go to some far-flung male cousin. Charles Spencer's mother, nee Frances Roche, endured pregnancy after pregnancy (and humiliation after gynaecological humiliation) until the crucial son was born in 1964. After which she bolted with wallpaper heir Peter Shand Kydd.

It was a pyhrric victory, however, as her powerful husband with his powerful friends succeeded in wresting custody of the children from her - extremely unusual in those days - with disastrous emotional consequences for the two youngest, Diana and Charles.

The pattern was to be repeated more or less exactly by the current Earl and his bride. The waif-like former model went through three pregnancies in four years (the second resulted in girl twins) to give him the son he needed, although she was far from well. Her humiliations at his hands were less gynaecological than psychological. The court was told how the day she emerged from a five-month stay in a rehabilitation clinic he taunted her with tales of his lovers. Once at a party he regaled the assembled company with how his father had told him to stick with his wife through thick and thin. As Charles waggishly pointed out, anyone present who looked at her would agree that "she was thin, and certainly thick".

After son and heir Louis was born, Earl Spencer had no further need for his wife's services, informing her of his decision to end the marriage from the soapy security of his bath. Their move to South Africa in 1996, ostensibly to escape the press, was in reality to be near his then-inamorata, Chantal Colloppy, herself married with two children. Following this week's publication of a love letter from Spencer to Colloppy, those cynical few who doubted that the righteous Earl penned the Westminster Abbey tribute/diatribe himself will have to admit that he does have the gift of the gab. It's a classic: "I feel sorry for Don [Mr Colloppy] and for all six children involved. I never intended to put my children through the hell of a divorce, but I hope these divorces will be more civilised than that of my parents. If I can't learn from their mistakes by avoiding divorce, I can at least prevent the unpleasantness that accompanied it."

As well as describing his wife as "immature, incapable of dealing with a husband with a strong character except by going on hunger strike, an alcohol binge, or resorting to drugs", Charles Spencer has the grace to admit that he has been "a dreadful bully to Victoria. I've been callous and vicious, trying to force her out of my life". To be loved by Colloppy, he said "is the greatest gift I could ask for". She lasted 20 months.

Next week all three parties take the stand.

MERIDIUM NEWS: JULY

News travels through the air on the island like salt on a sea breeze. Here is the gossip currently circulating as of July 3, 2022. Read on below the cut!

GENERAL NEWS / NOTICES:

NOTICE: Esther Achebe would deeply appreciate if an “extremely improper” item was retrieved from the Fisher’s Hut. She suspects it’s the previous tenant’s. She knows that he knows what it is.

REVIEW: A Final Goodbye (2022) dir. T. WIlliams. Starring T.Williams. Distributor: Hellish Place Productions.   Tamyra Williams makes her Meridium Theatre debut in a poorly lit, badly-built stage on a slightly windy evening beach.  The score to her character's monologue is as thinly composed as the rest of the play's accoutrements; it's almost as if Ms Williams was so intent on being the star that outshone everything, she deliberately ensured everything around her would be of lesser quality than her acting.  Williams has been out of the spotlight for nearly thirty years, and it shows in her staggered script, awkward stage-blocking and flimsy segue ways.  Did she succeed in capturing her audience, as she once did on the big screen?  HELL YES I've been SO BORED for DECADES and this is the first cultural foray on this godforsaken island I've had the relief of experiencing.  I cried, I was captivated, I leapt to my feet during the standing ovation.  Here's hoping Ms Williams will treat us once more.  We need more art, any art, even her!!

NOTICE: Something exciting washed up on the beach recently, or more specifically, someone. No, not another school of poisonous jellyfish, a person! When asked, he said it is now the year 2022 outside of the island! How time flies when you're trying not to die! Mik, our newcomer didn't have much in the way of news from the past two years. When asked he shrugged and said, "Uh... Chelsea won the World Cup? And the Queen is still alive..." Sounds like some uneventful times! Mik would also like to add a PSA: PLEASE stop threatening him with knives, spears etc.

NOTICE: Nicholas Alphonsus would like to remind the population that he is “not in fact Jesus. Please don’t come to me asking to turn water to wine. But please do bring wine."

ADVERTISEMENT: Bored out of your mind? Missing your favourite social media?  Hire Meridium Mik, island influencer!   Meridium Mik is a handsome chap with muscles, so he's already aesthetically pleasing.  Watch him try to tell a joke but laugh so hard, he doesn't even get to the punchline!  Ask  Meridium Mik about his special juices made with scientific nature-derived electrolyte energy!  Challenge  Meridium Mik to a TikTok dance-off and watch him go for hours!  Meridium Mik is guaranteed to reawaken that wonderful existential emptiness from endlessly scrolling your favourite Toobyube feeds.

WANTED: More methods of alcohol production.  For medicinal reasons of course, this isn't personal!  If you know how to ferment sweet sweet booze from the following: plant matter with footprints, river water mixed with ice and blood, local gossip caught in the air, red-hot flat rocks?  Stop by the distillery, kick Hazel out and start brewing.  Purely medicinal, remember.

SING-A-LONG

Island baby, oh island baby You're a beacon of light Island baby, island baby Come join the fight! You don't want to be special Except when you do You know many secrets We know yours too! (come home come HOME) Island baby, your hands are red The body lies where you have tread (Cornell? oh ooh ooh) Island baby, your hands are dry The man sunk down and we all know why

Island baby, oh island baby Blooming like a flower Island baby, island baby We're here to make sure You never have to cower From usssssssssss (lagoon lah - goooooon)

Obelisk Eye never closes! This week our Obelisk Operatives (ObOps) have collected the following mysteries! So pull out your magnifying glass, write in the sand, and let's do some sleuthing.

One ObOp spied Nick Alphonsus talking to Esther Achebe!  Presumably to engage in a woke discussion on foggy cowardice vs systemic fears, benefitting from privileged rich white old 'First' men.  Our ObOps heard mention of something called a '#FreeEsther' movement?  What does the number-symbol mean and why was Nick calling it a 'hashtag'? Is this about non-chemical drugs?  Pass the hashish pipe, Nick GOSH!

LAGOON-MULTIVERSES ALERT!!  Adelina - a seasoned lagoon user - has reported traveling to yet another undiscovered Meridium land.  Intrepid Adelina has seen a world called 'Octopus Game', where parallel dopplegangers of her friends are competing for freedom through terrifying and gruesome trials.  She described in detail how Sandra Barrow came to a grizzly end.  When we asked Adelina who exactly she considers 'a friend', she laughed and then accused us of gaslighting her before she ran off the edge of a cliff.  She's fine, but we're still trying to get details on the identities of Lina's 'friends'. If anyone knows, please come forward!

The Obelisk's lidless eye shone down on Alex Woo and Kaz Raval struck in a finger-trap of their own making: incorrigible droll drags on anything and everything on Meridium, including each other.  Inconclusive whether this exercise was fun or aggravating, as they each got incredibly worked up and then pretended they didn't care at all.  It got to the point where the Obelisk's lidless eye started to suspect they were trolling deliberately and now the eye is very sulky and annoyed at them.  Jerks!

An ObOp saw Amelia!  Oh wait, never mind. That was just the jungle hag.

Actually spotted: new islander Mik attempting to make friends with all the wrong people. Will his patented charm prevail, or will he continue to be greeting by glares and sharp, pointy weapons? Either way, we can’t wait to find out!

Any other news to report?  Become an ObOp or risk being spied on!  Always remember:

HELP WANTED: Requesting assistance from earth mover or other to build barrier around a beach. Contact Kaz Raval. Prepare to be thoroughly vetted for this one day job. Payment for help: He will let you touch his hair for no more than six seconds.

FARMER'S MONTHLY EXCERPT:  Today we are comparing the Hardy-Farm avocado to the Petit Farm avocado.  The criteria is plumpness, colour, texture, taste of flesh, crunch of bones, and how annoying the farmer is.  

- The Hardy Avocado comes with nonsense folksy rhyme to the tune of some obscure Schoolhouse Rock ditty, followed by a lecture about recycling the seed and peel.  It's exhausting but well worth it once you open the fruit and find its flesh yellow and creamy with that special hint of buttery sweetness that makes it the perfect avocado!  These avocados are shapely and round and one assumes the farmer cultivated them in his likeness.  

- The Saelices Avocado was actually a papaya.  Upon questioning, the farmer only replied: "Ah but the mysteries of God, qué miraculous! Hu-hu-hu."

REVIEW: A Final Goodbye (limited run, Meridium Playhouse) Written, directed, and performed by Tamyra Williams Musical arrangement by Tomas Hardy Few actors transcend the generations. If you were lucky enough to catch A Final Goodbye, it should be evident why Tamyra Williams remains one of the greats. From the moment she steps onto the stage and utters the opening line, I cannot believe you’re late, even now, the audience is captivated by her every move. As the one woman show begins, Tamyra addresses a husband whose arrival is delayed for every crucial moment of their relationship. Progressing through the highs of a new romance to the subsequent disintegration of a marriage, Tamyra walks us through with a visceral mix of her character’s love, grief, and regret. “Gripping. Thought-provoking. Provocative. Tamyra Williams at her finest.” - The Beast

APPROVAL RATING POLL: Meridium’s new trio is being assessed for their popularity. While the numbers are still being tabulated, for now, anonymous opinions from islanders are as follows:

Seamus: - “Yeah that whole thing was a little dictator-y but when he says it in that accent, how bothered can I be?” - “Needs to shave. Won’t consider him ‘til he does.” - “Has not answered my question about a house that I asked SIX MONTHS AGO.”

Libby: - “It is a known fact that gingers have no soul. Therefore, I believe that Ms. Blum should have to submit to an exorcism before she can be considered any sort of leader – no I’m not finished, another thing –” - “She can give me a tour of her Labyrinth any time, wink wink. Yes include the wink wink.” - “If she makes her piano public property maybe I’ll like her.”

Tomas: - “Who needs a working brain when you’ve got all that ass?” -  “I think he should arm wrestle Kotka and the winner gets to be leader. ... Oh, no, I don’t think that’s especially professional or anything, I’m just bored as hell.” - “Didn’t he die? ... Really? ... Oh, I thought he was dead.”

DEAR MS. MERIDIUM:

Anonymous islanders are invited to voice their questions, complaints, and compliments to the island itself. Replies are not guaranteed.

Dear Ms. Meridium,

First time, long time (‘long time’ as you’ve clearly been holding me hostage on the island for years). Anywhoo, I’m having trouble with a woman. To protect her identify, let’s call her ‘Jenn’. Jenn insists a genie lives in the heart tree but so far has shown no proof. It’s a fool’s folly and a total waste of time. Frankly, it’s really doing my head in. I pride myself on being as off-putting to others as possible. For some reason, this has yet to drive her off! Please offer advice on how to further repel her.

Desperately, Christina Aguilera

Dear Ms. Meridium,

So... Seamus and Esther have definitely fucked, right?

Frankly, Duo Did It

Dear Ms. Meridium, 

I have a theory about that old monk-man. Monks used to do experiements with plant genetics right? Mendel or something. I think that's what Saelecis is doing up there in that shitfarm on the high land. He's trying to breed the better tomato only it'll be some kind of tomato that makes us all want to climb Alphonsus Range and build a big statue or something. I don't know about you but he makes me suspicious. 

Warily, Shade on the Nightshade

Dear Ms. Meridium,

I have started a support group for all those who were touched with malice aforethought by Alex Woo during the Troubles. The worst part was that after he touched me he made this face like he ate a bad walnut and said "ugh, boooo-ring" and then wouldn't touch me again so he could see a more cool memory. I'm very interesting! I've been wicked! Once I took a whole plate of mini egg roll samples at the Costco! 

Yours, Born 2 B Wild I Swear

Nicole Richie on the 20th Anniversary of ‘The Simple Life,’ Starring in ‘Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ Remake and Writing a Horror-Comedy [Variety Interview]

Nicole Richie has been a “diehard fan” of the 1991 cult comedy “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” for as long as she can remember.

“I’ve been quoting this movie my whole life,” she says.

And now, life has come full circle because the former “Simple Life” reality television icon stars in director Wade Allain-Marcus’ “Don’t Tell Mom” remake as fashion company boss Rose.

The new film stars Simone Joy Jones as Tanya, a 17-year-old whose summer plans are upended when her mom (“Ms. Pat” star Patricia Williams) checks herself into a health retreat. Things completely unravel when the babysitter, played by Oscar nominee June Squibb, hired to take care of Tanya and her siblings suddenly dies.

“When I heard it was going to be a remake, I was like, ‘What does this mean?’” she says. “So I jumped on a Zoom with Wade and he was like, ‘This is a reimagining of the movie.’ He had everything from color palettes, mood boards and a lot of music to give me an idea of what he wanted to do with it. Right after our first Zoom, I was like, ‘I’m ready to play Rose.’”

How nervous were you for a remake? Some remakes work and some are pretty awful. This is true, but I had the most fun doing it. I think it’s so funny. It’s very feel good, which is something that I don’t think you necessarily get all the time now. When I say feel good, I’m talking early ‘90s. It’s a family adventure comedy.

But one that pushes envelope. There’s a lot of weed in it. A lot more cursing than I expected. Well, it is rated R. I don’t think anyone was expecting an R rating. It’s been a running joke in our group chat.

You don’t act often. I read a lot of things, but I just want to make sure that it’s something that I can do a good job in and confidently pour my energy into and feel like I can do it. I think that this movie was a perfect example of that. I never imagined that I would ever play Rose. But now that I think about it, I’m like, “Oh, I’ve always felt spiritually connected to her.” So this was just waiting for me from day one, from 1991.

Do you remember your worst audition? I don’t know that I’ve necessarily had something where I’m like, that was so horrible. But auditions are so funny. When I auditioned for “Great News,” I auditioned at the end of the day. I walked in, I signed my name, and I was number like 32 for this role. I was like, I’m not gonna get this. I left and got on a flight to go on tour with my husband [Joel Madden]. But when I landed, I found out I got a call back. They told me I need to needed to fly back home and audition again.

Do you have a dream role you’d like to play? I am in the middle of writing a comedy horror movie right now that I am going to star in. This is a little more Kathleen Turner à la “Serial Mom.”

How often are being pitched a “Simple Life” reunion or reboot? It has happened a lot, but Paris [Hilton] and I have always felt that we don’t want to do something just to do it. But it is the 20-year anniversary this year, so we have been talking about different ways to celebrate this very cool show that we did. So we’ll see.

Paris’ memoir is being adapted as a TV series. Should I audition?

That was my next question: who should play you? Jack Black? [Laughs]

You made big headline news the other night at the “Don’t Tell Mom” premiere because your kids (daughter Harlow Madden, 16, and son Sparrow Madden, 14) made their red carpet debut. Was that a conscious decision, something you all talked about beforehand? Honestly, they were just going to come with me. It was not really something that we had necessarily talked about. We were there as a family. They’re old enough now. They understand what that is.

How often do they look at old footage of you or watch the “Simple Life”? “The Simple Life” is apparently having a big moment on TikTok, so they do tell me that they watch clips on TikTok. Their friends watch it. I get a lot of eye rolls in my house all the time. It’s right on brand with how they see me, in general.

Do they want to go into the business? I’m not sure. I highly doubt that my son does. My daughter might but she’s not banging down my door asking about it. She’s really living that 16-year-old life.

Home (School Sets)

In preparation for an interview with Splits Magazine, Sue had her two new cheearleaders in her office. 

Sue: Ladies, what we have here is a grade-A dilemma. Mercedes, your vocal cords have had more fantastic runs than a Kenyan track team but that look simply will not do. At first I thought it was a subtle homage to yours truly but now I fear it’s some sort of ironic comment. 

Mercedes: Ms. Sylvester, I’m just not comfortable in those Cheerios skirts. They don’t fit me right.

Kurt: Mercedes, you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about your body.

Mercedes: Embarrassed? No, no. I’m worried about showing too much skin and causing a sex riot. 

The two best friends laugh and twirled their fingers. 

Sue: How do you two not have a show on Bravo? Here’s the skinny. Splits magazine, after much campaigning by one Sue Sylvester has named me cheerleading coach of the last 2,000 years. In seven days reporter Tracy Pendergrass will arrive on campus and my new star singer will have lost 10 pounds and be in a gender-appropriate cheerleading uniform or she is off the team.

Kurt (shock): Ten pounds? Are you serious? 

Sue: You could lose a few too, kiddo. You got hips like a pear. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to put in a call to the Ohio secretary of state notifying them I will no longer be carrying photo I.D. You know why? People should know who I am.

(TITLE CARD) 

–—–—

In the Staff lunch room, Will approach the coach quite angry. 

Will: Sue! We need to talk. The auditorium is padlocked!

Sue: Well, that’s curious. Did you check the sign-up sheet?

Will: What sign-up sheet?

Sue: Why, the one I keep right here in my waistband, William. Let’s see. Yeah, I’ve got the entire week booked solid. Got a big magazine feature coming up and it’s a little chilly for my girls to be practicing outdoors.

Will: Yeah? Well, let’s see what Figgins has to say about this.

Sue: Oh, I’m sure Figgins will just mumble something nervously and then pretend to take a call. I happen to be blackmailing him.

—–—–

In the choir room, Will sat on a stool in front of the kids.

Will: Um, all right, I have one final announcement before we all leave. We can't use the auditorium for the next week.

Finn: But that’s garbage. How are we supposed to practice for regionals without the auditorium?

Will: The Cheerios need it to practice in. There’s nothing I can do.

Rachel: I recommend a sit-in.

Puck:  I recommend we torch the place.   That got half of the members to smile. 

Will: No. Look, we’ve all faced adversity before and come out stronger on the other end. I’m gonna check out a few off-site locations for us to use just for the week. I promise I’ll find us a new home. 

The school rang and everyone got out their seats. But Kurt approached Finn. 

Kurt: Oh, Finn! I wanted your opinion on this. It’s a swatch board. I’m redecorating my bedroom. Kind of going for a hunting lodge meets Tom Ford's place in Bel Air. I was hoping you could help me out with the hunting lodge part.

Finn: I live in a closet. There’s cowboy wallpaper on the walls.

Kurt: Oh.

Finn (points to a mix of blue and hey sheet.): But I guess that one's nice.

Kurt: Toile? I always pegged you as a chinoisserie type.

Finn walked away from him but Kurt smirked. 

–—–—

In the cafeteria, Kurt watched Mercedes getting her food. 

Kurt: Mercedes.

Mercedes: This is healthy. Chicken breast and a salad, dressing on the side.

Kurt: You have a week to lose 10 pounds. It’s like having to lose one of my butt cheeks. Look at what I’m eating. Peeled celery and for breakfast I had Splenda. Look, Mercedes, now that we’re cheerleaders, we’re finally part of the in crowd. We have a place at the table. We don’t have to beg underneath for scraps of attention.  (Sighs): Don’t screw it up. (Walking away.) 

Brittany: I’m pretty sure my cat's been reading my diary.

Mercedes (approaching the cheerleaders): Hey, guys. Can I ask you something? How do you manage to stay so skinny?

Santana and Brittany grabbed their water bottles. 

Santana: The Sue Sylvester Master Cleanse.

(Sue: Water, maple syrup for glucose, lemon for acid, cayenne pepper- irritate the bowels and a dash of ipecac- a vomiting agent. I haven’t had a solid meal since 1987.) 

Brittany: Sometimes I add a teaspoon of sand.

Mercedes: That can’t be healthy.

Santana: Who cares? You can either feel terrible and look great or get kicked off the team when that reporter gets here.

Mercedes left her lunch but a blonde was watching the whole thing. 

–——–—

In Sue's office...

Becky: I lost two pounds, Coach.

Sue: Well, Becky, you are assimilating beautifully. Instead of being different and an outcast you’re just like every other teenage girl in America sadly obsessed with vanity. Before you know it you’ll be leaving baggies of upchuck in your parents'linen closet. Congrats. I’m proud of you, kid.

Becky: Thanks, Coach.

Sue: You betcha. Next! 

Mercedes stepped up next. 

Sue: Hey, you’re still in your track uniform.

Mercedes: Yep, and I’m ready for my midweek weigh-in. I’ve been eating very well and walking everywhere and- 

Sue cut in: Well, climb aboard. Let’s see how many "libbies" you lost. (She did just that) Well, look at that, Mercedes. You gained two pounds. 

Mercedes (shocked): What? That's impossible!

Sue: Look, I’m gonna break it down for you. You have four days to lose the weight, get yourself in a uniform, or you’re out.

Mercedes: What am I gonna do?

Sue: Well, you might try dropping the attitude. I’m sure there’s a pound or two in that. You know, with the Cheerios we have only one lesson, and it’s a very simple lesson. You do whatever it takes. 

Mercedes frowned and stepped off the scale. The School Bell Rings.  Sue: Next!

–—–—–

Finn walked well ran to Kurt. 

Finn: Kurt! Hey! What the hell's going on with our parents? When did they even meet each other?

Kurt: Parent-teacher conference night, about a month ago.

Kurt (Voiceover:) I always accompany my father to those conferences to act as translator.

Burt picked up a cookie but Kurt slapped it out of his hand. Burt: How do you know this is not organic?

Kurt: Because you can see the logo. It’s encrusted in the cookie. 

Kurt (voiceover:) Fate brought them together.

Kurt lead Burt when Carole led into the classroom. Kurt: Dad!  Meet Carole Hudson. Ms. Hudson, my father, Burt Hummel. You both have dead spouses. Maybe you should talk.

Burt: I was just saying to a friend that acid wash should make a comeback.

He was referring to her jacket. Carole: Oh. Really and who said it ever left?

Kurt (voiceover:) It was an instant connection.

Finn: That’s impossible.

Kurt: Nothing is impossible when it comes to love. Haven’t you noticed anything different about your mom? New clothes, new makeup, a haircut that doesn’t look like it was styled by the Amish. Who do you think "Pretty Woman"-ed her up?  Has she started selling the furniture yet?

Finn: Yeah, yeah. She got rid of her old bedroom set and she tried to sell my dad's chair, but I stopped her. How do you even know that?

Kurt: People our parents' age don’t wait around for love to bloom. They know what they want. You and I will be roommates, with Mom and Dad cohabitating upstairs by midterms. 

Finn (shook his head) : No way.

Kurt: Give in to the inevitable, Finn. I want us to decide how to redecorate our room together. That’s why I asked you about the swatches. And don’t sweat that old chair. I have a lovely chaise picked out.

Finn: Look, screw y-your swatches and your-your "chez."

Kurt: Chaise. 

Finn: Whatever! I like my house, I’m not moving, and she’s not selling that damn chair! 

–—–——–

In the choir room, Will told everyone where they were going to practice. 

Tina: A roller rink?

Santana: Weren’t those outlawed in, like, 1981 for being totally lame?

Will: Come on, guys. Where’s your sense of adventure? The space is great and April is giving it to us to practice in for free.

Kurt (raising his hand): Mr. Schue? If I may? The New Directions is clearly a club with a dearth of direction. Rachel and Jesse refuse to accept that all of us would rather die before we allow them to become the next Beyonce and Jay-Z and Finn's mother's romance with my father is sending him into a wholly unnecessary tailspin of despair. (Hands papers to Will that he gives out.) What we all need right now is to explore the idea of a sense of place and how if we find that place within we will get that happy ending. 

Kurt looked to the piano player. Kurt: Brad, B flat. 

Kurt: A chair is still a chair, even when there’s no one sitting there. But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home. When there’s no one there to hold you tight and no one there, you can kiss good night. 

A room is still a room, even when there's nothing there but gloom. But a room is not a house and a house is not a home. When the two of us are far apart and one of us has a broken heart

(Finn at home was sitting in front of his dad's chair. Finn: Now and then I call your name and suddenly your face appears. But it's just a crazy game and when it end it ends in tears.)

Kurt: So darling have a heart, Don’t let one mistake keep us apart. I’m not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home. When I climb the stair and turn the key. Oh, please be there still in love with me.

Kurt looked away from the group. 

–—–——

In the cafeteria, Mercedes was frustrated to no end.  Tina: Do you want half of my peppermint patty?

Mercedes: No. I don’t put junk in my body.

Artie: Why are you doing this? We like you no matter how you look.

Tina: And those shake diets are really unhealthy.

Artie: They also don’t really work. As soon as you go off them, you gain back the weight you lost.

Mercedes slammed her hands on the lunch table.   Mercedes: You know what? I don’t want to hear it! You have no idea how much I’m sacrificing to be a Cheerio, to look fantastic to finally fit in at this school. 

Mercedes then started to imagine her friends as food. 

Tina: We were just trying to look out for you.                     She was ice cream. 

Artie: We just want you to be healthy.    He was a piece of pie. 

Mercedes: Stop getting all up in my face, telling me what I can and cannot do and I’m really hungry, so stop trying to get me to eat you!

Artie: Hold up. Did she just say she wanted to eat us?      

Mercedes walked away but saw Rachel and Jesse. 

Rachel: The point is that Fanny Brice is the most iconic role...     Rachel was a cupcake and Jesse was a burger. 

Mercedes: Aw, damn.      Then she fainted. 

––—–—

School Nurse: Hmm. Your blood pressure's low. Maybe that’s why you fainted. Your mom will be here soon. I’ll go and get you some ginger ale.

When she left, Quinn was there and approached the girl. Mercedes: Thanks. I’m not hungry.

Quinn: Yes, you are. You’re starving. I know. I’ve been there. Did all the other kids start looking like food right before you fainted?

Mercedes (a bit shocked): Yeah. How'd you know?

Quinn: Been there. Eat the granola bar.

Mercedes took the bar. Mercedes: Why are you being so nice to me? I can’t remember the last time you said two words to me that weren't "you" and "suck."

Quinn: Cause I was you- scared. Hating myself for eating a cookie. But I got over it.

Mercedes: Yeah, of course you did, Miss Pretty Blonde With the White Girl Ass.

Quinn: When you start eating for somebody else... so that they can grow and be healthy your relationship to food changes. What I realized is that if I’m so willing to eat right to take care of this baby why am I not willing to do it for myself? You are so lucky. You’ve always been at home in your body. Don’t let Ms. Sylvester take that away from you.

Mercedes begins to tear up. Mercedes: I’m so embarrassed. This isn’t me. How did I become this person?

Quinn: You are beautiful. You know that. I’m gonna stay here with you until your mom comes, okay? 

–—–—––

Kurt approached Finn at his locker. 

Kurt: Finn, we need to talk. (Finn looks to him.) We have to break up our parents immediately. I screwed up. I feel like the guy who set up Liza and David Gest. 

Finn: It hurt you, didn’t it? When I was talking sports with your dad and stuff.  I could tell that you were-

Kurt: Left out? Invisible?

Finn: Yeah. I don’t like that my mom's forgetting about my dad. It’s up to me to keep his memory alive and I don’t want to move in with you. No offense.

Kurt: None taken. So we put an end to them. Agreed?

Finn: Agreed. 

–—–—––

In the gymnasium, it was time for the pep rally. Sue approached the journalist from Splits Magazine and sat down beside him. 

Sue: Well, with a name like Tracy, I assumed you were a lady.

Tracy: Quite a turnout for a pep rally.

Sue: On assembly days, I arrange for the rest of the school to be fumigated leaving the gymnasium the only place with breathable air. (Tracy didn’t laugh or chuckled)  Come on. That was clever. You might want to start writing down my little bon mots. I’m gonna be dropping some beauties on you. 

Tracy: You know, this is just a freelance job. I was short-listed for the Pulitzer last year for my Newsweek piece on high school athletes going pro.

Sue: So my cover story isn’t a fluff piece?

Tracy: Nope. Hard-hitting investigation.

The Cheerios came out with the crowd cheering so loud, Kurt waved to the crowd but mostly to his friends. 

Sue: Feast your ears on this smokin' intro. In a few seconds, so important to build the tension.

Mercedes came out but Kurt was so confused so he looked to Brittany.        Kurt: What is she doing?    Brittany just shrugged. 

Mercedes took hold of the microphone and spoke into it.  Mercedes: Hey, guys. I’m Mercedes Jones. (Exhales) So most of you know Cheerios is about perfection and winning looking hot and being popular. 

Sue: Still building the tension. 

Mercedes: Well, I think that it should be about something different. How many of you at this school feel fat? (Some people raised their hands like Quinn was one of them.) How many of you feel like maybe you’re not worth very much? Or you’re ugly, or you have too many pimples and not enough friends? (Some more people raised their hands like Jesse, Tina and Artie) Well, I felt all those things about myself at one time or another. Hell, I felt most of those things about myself today and that just ain’t right. And we’ve got something to say about it and if you like what we have to say come down here and sing it with us.

Mercedes: Ooooooooh yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, every day is so wonderful and suddenly it’s hard to breathe. Now and then I get insecure from all the pain, I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say, words can’t bring me down. I am beautiful in every single way, yes, words can’t bring me down, oh no So, don’t you bring me down today

The cheerios turned around and joined in with the singing.

WMHS Students: No matter what we do

Mercedes and WMHS Students: No matter what we do

WMHS Students: No matter what we say

Mercedes and WMHS Students: No matter what we say

WMHS Students: We’re the song that's outta tune Full of beautiful mistakes

Mercedes: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

WMHS Students: And everywhere we go

Mercedes: And everywhere we go

WMHS Students: The sun will always shine (Mercedes: The sun will always, always shine) But tomorrow we might awake over on the other side

Mercedes and WMHS Students: Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say. Yes, words won't bring us down (Mercedes: Oh, no, oh, oh, oh) We are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can’t bring us down (Mercedes: Oh, oh, oh)

Mercedes: So don’t you bring me down today oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Don’t you bring me down today

Everyone applauded so loud and cheered loudly as well. 

Tracy: We can finish this interview in your office tomorrow.

Kurt approached her and touched her shoulder. Kurt: Thank you. I was wrong.   The two hugged. 

–—––—–

Sue entered her office with Tracy already there. Sue: Mr. Pendergrass, let me explain.

Tracy: Just have a seat.

Sue: Oh. Not used to taking orders in my own office. She sat down on her chair. 

Tracy: Sue, when I met you I instantly disliked you. You’re bossy, insulting, and the fact that twice you called me Rerun makes me think you’re a little racist. I came here to write a piece that would expose you as a coward and a cheat. I could not have been more wrong.

Sue: Beg your pardon?

Tracy: You got every shape and size Cheerio up there singing about empowerment and inclusion telling everyone it’s okay to be exactly the person you are. You’re a visionary, and I think redefining cheerleading. Bravo.

Sue: Well, thank you, uh, Mr. Pendergrass. I can’t say I’m surprised. Um, you know, I work so hard to get my girls feeling good about themselves  because it’s what's inside that counts.

Tracy: It’s an honor, Coach.  (He stood up and shook her hand.) When this hits the stands, it could mean big things for you. 

Once he left, Sue was relieved. 

—––——

April and Will were in the choir room, Will was shocked by what he was hearing. 

Will: I don’t know what to say.

April: Just say congratulations. I took your advice. I went home, I told Buddy that if he wanted to keep me around he had to ditch the old lady and give yours truly the top job and then he died. (Laughs) One of his eyes went all funny and he had a stroke right in front of me. 

Will: Geez, April, are you okay?

April: Okay? I’m rich! The ol' battle-ax was afraid I’d go to the Lima Times so she shut me up to the tune of $2 million.

They both laughed. Will: What?

April: So I’m sobering up and I’m heading to the Broadway, Will. I haven’t had a drink in 45 minutes. I’m going to take my hush money and I’m going to mount the first-ever all-white production of The Wiz.

Will: Okay. [Chuckles]

April: I’ve got you to thank.

All the glee members came into the room. 

Rachel eagerly smiled: Did you tell him yet?

Will: Tell me what?

April: That I bought y'all the auditorium.

They applause and cheers for her. Will: What?

April: I wrote ol' Figgins a check this morning. It’s now called the April Rhodes Civic Pavilion.

Will: I- I don’t know what to say.

Rcahel: We’ve got that covered.

That leads them to auditorium for a performance from the musical. 

April (New Directions): When I think of home, I think of a place, where there’s love overflowing. I wish I was home, I wish I was back there with the things I’ve been knowing. Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning, suddenly the raindrops that fall have a meaning. Sprinkling the scene makes it all clean.

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back, now that I have some direction. It sure would be nice to be back home, where there's love and affection. Then just maybe I can convince time to slow up. Giving me enough time in my life to grow up, time be my friend (Let me start again) let me start again. 

Living here in this brand new realm (Brand new realm) might be a fantasy, ohh (Fantasy, ohh). But it taught me to love, so it’s real, real, real to me. And I’ve learned we must look, look inside our hearts to find. Yeah, a world full of love (World full of love) Like yours, like mine (Like mine)

April with New Directions: Like home! Home!
