Welcome back all to another edition of "The scoop", bringing you the best of the best information about your favorite stars...

It's hot in Cleveland! (And also Hollywood!) Yes, it seems the apples of our eyes were all looking for ways to cool down over this weekend which lead to quite a lot of must - attend parties. Too bad we can't split ourselves two ways, let alone four. But don't worry, we've got the scoop!

But first - a glimpse into the life of Hollywood's most successful producer, CEO of Malik - Thatcher Production Company and America's favorite star, Mia Mitchell (musicbeastly).

MALIK PARK: BEHIND THE PRODUCER

We all know the stoic, business oriented man by name and face, he's becoming one of the most highly recognized individuals in the music industry, and anyone who's ever dreamed of being anybody is pining for a minute of his time - his glossy approval - his words of acknowledgement. Musical acts around the country know this man will take them straight to top with a one way ticket and never look back.

But who is Malik Park (Roseamore13) behind his lucrative business? We sought to find that out in this exclusive interview - and to say the least, he's about as straight to the point as he appears...

"I grew up in Toronto, Canada. My upbringing was...good. "

- Is what he had to say when questioned about his home town and childhood. Sharing a nation with Justin Bieber, we have to wonder if Canadians tend to stick together - considering Malik's recent appearance at Justin's wedding to Hailey Baldwin. However, he didn't seem so ready to work with the fellow northerner...and also unprepared to discuss his childhood in depth. It serves as one more thing, we'll just have to keep on wondering about...

One little known fact about Malik is that he not only produces music, but was also a lover of it for himself for decades now as he describes, harking back to a time he can hardly remember. 

"I was learning to play the piano before I could write, so pretty young."

After learning to play, he says it was easy becoming a leader and felt it was a very natural role for him to fulfill. In fact, he was off to the races and learning from the best for his first bout of employment, diving into the music arena at an early age. 

"My first job was an errand boy for a local producer. I'd run around grabbing him coffee or dropping of dry cleaning."

It must have been something fairly embarrassing for the Producer to admit - being an errand boy is quite a skip away from running a multi - million dollar company. And yet, we can't help but feel that it makes him a little more human to us all, that and the fact that he moved out to California straight out of college. A man with a dream and a destiny.

He recants meeting his partner, Jeremiah Thatcher as something of a fluke. The pair were sitting in on audition calls where they seemed to instantly connect and meeting some common ground. A feat that seems not to difficult, given Jeremiah's equally pensive and hold - no - punches nature. When asked why they worked together so well? Malik had this to say, leaving our interviewer in a fit of giggles at the stereotypical answer:

"He put up with all my s*** so I kept him. "

Very telling of Malik's willingness to admit his hard to work with demeanor! However, there's one thing that nobody can or should deny, and that's that whatever his method, it's paid off. Within a few years of carefully choosing an individual with enough star quality to employ him (imagine that!) he came across something special. A person who he admits, he was doubtful at first, perhaps even grappling with the idea of turning back to Toronto?

" I had my doubts at first, which I do with most everyone, but she quickly erased them. Wasn't hard to see that she really had something."

And that something she had. Number one single after number one single, star appeal, and a nation of adoring fans behind her, Mia Mitchell shot straight to the top of of the charts and public opinion with her reasonably refreshing upbeat and innocent qualities that captivated audiences around the world, and took the music industry by storm. The power trio capitalized on a very successful brand, leading to Malik's notoriety today, among his many other accomplishments. But what's next, for Malik?

" I'd love to win a Grammy. Or at least have a record I produced win one. "

We were shocked to realize it hadn't happened yet ourselves! Now, it's no secret to the media that Malik has recently adopted quite a controversial relationship with his new client, Phoebe Westshire (crayola32) and we were all curious...how does that work? Can one truly be a lover and clientele all wrapped up into one? Here's what Malik had to say.

"[our relationship] is good and no it hasn't [affected our business]. With her it's been a little easier, being able to bounce off ideas. "

Easier. Huh? Regardless, we're incredibly happy for the pair and wish them all of the prosperity music and love can give. Finally, we did have to hear Malik's weigh in about Jeremiah following in his footsteps - is there anything these two don't do together? Referring to his partner's rumored encounters with Miss Mitchell.

" I would like to take this moment to clarify that Jeremiah does not trade sexual favors for record deals. Jer and Mia have worked closely since we signed her. It's not surprising the friendship turned into something more. "

Can we really believe it? The jury is still out - but those who respect Malik's word will certainly be set to ease, as he makes a reasonable point. On the way out Malik was sure to give his warning about not believing everything you read.

" Don't believe everything you read in the tabloids. "

Surely, you're not referring to us, Mr. Park? Thanks for stopping in with us!

BUSY WEEKEND FOR THE STARS

As previously mentioned, it seemed a whole gaggle of our favorite celebs took advantage of the nice and hot weekend to host their share of get-togethers, ranging from penniless wonders, to extravagant luxuries. Here's what we've got figure out:

Kennedy Lake (gillioddities) hosted a pool part at her lavish home in Beverly hills, with a totally star studded guest list...including stars such as Virginia Winters (@pxnkpulse) , Axel Wilcox (Clear_Blue) and...you guessed it, Aidan Darcy (crayola32) her confirmed partner. A laundry list of other notable figures arrived doing their best to beat the heat in Kennedy's cool pool. Even those...who weren't necessarily invited!

Rumor has it that Phoebe Westshire was spotted at Kennedy's party quite late, and it's definitely unclear as to whether she'd gotten a formal invite or not. Considering she was seen at another party earlier that day, it was leaving some to raise their eyebrows. Why pop up? Speculators have suggested her nervousness over the presence of boyfriend Malik Park as a true invitee to Kennedy's residence. Keeping a watchful eye, are we, Phoebe?

Others noted that Kennedy and Aidan seemed to be, oddly at odds during the festivities. Please cut it out, you two, we've had enough of your rollercoaster with our hearts! However, we will keep you up with the latest regarding their relationship. Who's about to break whose heart?

Belial O'Neal (Phoberos) , illusionist extraordinaire, was caught doing more than ruffling some feathers of a dove out of his hat. He reportedly had some conflict with Malik which has been described as insulting. Please explain yourselves, boys! Was the heat really getting to you? Or are we about to witness a rivalry for the ages?

Kylie Paxton (wrongfully) and Asher Gilmore (gillioddities) were spotted getting rather handsy at Kennedy's house! Good for you, but it might be even more blinding than the sun!

~~

Noah Lane (bored_outofmymind) also threw a beach fling for a group of friends, being sure to include the likes of Andres Russo (secretquietlygirl) , Charlotte Novak (FandomLover3324)  , and Josephine Shaw (crayola32). And still, that's not where the fun ended:

Marilyn Vietta (AnnikaWhen) earlier this week was spotted visiting a local therapist's office, for what only we can assume was in regards to her mental health. Peculiarly, she was spotted speaking to several party goers in a seemingly friendly demeanor. Could she be turning a new leaf from her standoffish reputation?

Jeffery Durand (trouvailleeeee) and Tonya Durand (phoberos) were both witnessed in attendance, and some nearby ears happened to hear a less than helpful tone emitted from Jeffery's mouth to his disabled sister. It's prompted quite a spark of outrage from fans of the Durand lineage, some even going as far as to call him an ableist. Too far?

Frozen Lemonade - we have not tried it ourselves, but apparently it is the new thing. Brought to his beach party by no other but the host himself, all the guests are gushing about the mysterious drink. Switching businesses, Noah?Many followers of the event were calling writer Jasmine Rivermore (trouvailleeeee) quite cute and adorable! A nice addition to the party in general!And of course, there was little less than sparks flying between Jeremiah Thatcher and Mia Mitchell. Reportedly the artist was nearly reduced to tears, trudging off by her lonesome with the scout, leaving us all wondering - could there already be trouble in paradise? Was Malik park wrong about these two? What exactly is going on, and when will we receive a confirmation of relationship status? More to come!Alisa Gilmore (Roseamore13) was also apparently a party hopper! Hoping to go unnoticed, miss Gilmore? Word to the wise: don't get caught chatting it up with the host who didn't invite you, next time, and you might stay undercover!~~

Vincent Van Dyke (SMOLJUNGKOOK) went for a much more luxurious take on the magical weekend, inviting some Hollywood elites to join him on his yacht as he set out to sea. actor Sylvester Travolta (trouvailleeeee) , baseball player Micah Beckett (Clear_Blue), and stuntwoman Scout Carter (phoberos) were a few notable stars to make it onto the guest list. Rough waters? Well, we'll allow you to decide.

We were immediately stricken by the fact that ex wife Caroline Crawford (trouvailleeeee) was not invited to partake in the excursion, especially while rumors of baby on deck have been circulating....and to think just an edition ago, they assured us they'd never get back together? We can't help but to wonder if it were a lie!

Elissa Garcia reportedly made her rounds on this particular occasion, showing up with none other than Sylvester, which of whom she'd been spotted with on numerous instances - even spotted spending time together in Vegas. Well, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas..that is, until The Scoop gets their hands on it...Sylvester was seeming a little on edge as his date sauntered off to have words with Micah Beckett, some have described her over all demeanor as flirtatious. A heartbreaker, for a heartbreaker...the world is either complete, or about to implode...

Donovan Rodriguez (musicbeastly) was seen frequenting the party as well after his recent release from jail, and some are calling his presence...frightening. We can't tell if its the allegations or if prison has really changed him. For the good, we hope!

~~

And finally, growing youtuber Avery Johnson (SinnaRoll) had herself a party acknowledging the wondering of the world - waiting until the dark of night to watch the stars in all of their glory! She was sure to add a gaggle of other youtubers to her party list, including Tommy Vincent (MidwesternVibes_) and fabled other half Easton Neal (AAohnoAA) and voice actor Orlan Balcazar. But those weren't the only amazing arrivals she had...

Get this! Avery sent out an invitation to Valero Durand following a plethora of instances the two have been seen together, most notably dancing with him at the Bieber wedding that's left audiences highly suspicious. He'd shown up with a gift and all, reports, say, and now the term 'sugar daddy' is being tossed around.

Caroline Crawford appeared with a plus one - a cute little dog of hers named 'Romeo' who seemed to be the hit of the party! "Bring your pet dog, call it Romeo and the ladies will squeal while the gents will smirk. Well, from what we've heard at least Romeo had the time of his life!"

Sorren Goodwin made an appearance as well before disappearing with her love interest! Leaving us guessing for the umpteenth time! Wasn't there an old school yard song about, sitting in a tree?

DONOVAN RODRIGUEZ: "WHAT REALLY HAPPENED"

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard the news that football's fall from fame Donovan Rodriguez (musicbeastly), accused of drug use and also a slew of allegations he's had something to do with the murder of his long time coach of the Dallas Cowboys, [to be inserted!], has been released from prison. It is to be noted that he was imprisoned for this heinous crime, later to be acquitted on appeal but not for six year later as a wrongfully accused...even that being so, the court of public opinion has not been kind to Rodriguez, and many are still more than convinced that his just desserts, were cut short.

We sat down with Donovan for an exclusive interview to get his side of the story...his version of events, and by the end, we assume you might be able to draw some of your own conclusions...

We wanted to start from the beginning. Talk about where Donovan Rodriguez began as an athlete, and he describes his career beginning young, in elementary school.

"I was nine when my dad took me to the school he used to work in. That year, there was this inter-school football championship organised by his school. And that day, was the final. I think, that was the first time I realized how cool that game was. And for the nine year Don, that was just too exciting. And I ended up begging my dad for the ball. I wanted to play it too. It was like a new craze I had gotten. And since then I never got over it. Football runs in veins. I don't think there is anyway anyone could separate it from me. "Some of his most major accomplishments? He harks back to his early days, reminiscing about the first time he received a pay check for his hard work." At the age of 12, I went on a three day trial with sporting CP. They signed me for £1,500. That was the first time I earned something from my game. That was my first accomplishment. After that, I think the day when my coach, Mr. Benson, announced player of his team, that was also one of the best moments of my life. "There's no doubt that Donovan is a talented athlete and dedicated to his sport - so of course one would wonder why he'd been caught red handed with drugs not long into his adult, professional career? We asked about his supposed drug use, asking directly if they were performance enhancing (such as steroids) , and he did deny to comment more than explaining this: That is was all an inconvenient mistake.
" I did not take any drugs. They found it in my locker. That's all I have to say. "

Regardless, it seemed to be the catalyst that sparked Donovan's life into chaos. Not long after he'd been indefinitely convicted of some petty crimes and fighting, ending in the result of accusations revolving around his coach's death...we asked about his stay in prison and how it had affected his life, and this is what he had to say:

" For me, the worst part was to lose my family. Friends. Well-wishers. My father refused to see my face again, took off with my brother to God knows where. At the end of the day, it didn't matter if I was guilty or not. I had already lost everything. "

His defeatist attitude would surely display his displeasure of being considering guilty in a case in which he defends his innocence, acquitted officially by the court of law, and yet his life has been altered forever. We wanted to get Donovan's explanation of the allegations surrounding his coach's death, but frustratingly...it was a topic he refused to comment on, of which we can't advise was best for his public image to heal. However, it did seem a touchy subject for the male to which we have only to further speculate about.

However, in maybe a glimmer of hope that this might be Donovan's way of proclaiming his innocence, he left us with a final message. You decide...

" In the world we live, seeing is believing. But it's really sad to know that we never realize, that what is in front of us, could just be the tip of the iceberg. There could be more to a person than you see. There could be a different story... "SPOTTED!

Some are calling this a midlike crisis, Durand. Motorcyles? Young girls? Explain yourself!

Who's the cuter doggy daddy?? (we can't decide!) Jeremiah , or Axel?

Belial, is this a Vegas stint?!

SHOCKING::: SORREN GOODWIN ASSAULTS SYLVESTER TRAVOLTA?? (trouvailleeeee) 

Reports say that on the set of a movie the two co star in, things seemed to get a little heated in more ways than one...ending with the netflix star slapping Travolta straight across the face! "Very unprofessional." an anonymous source on set commented. "If you have a problem with a scene you just handle it, there is no room for physical violence on the set of a movie." Sylvester was spotted storming off shortly after the contact was made. We've been hearing word that Goodwin may lose her future roles with this production company in suspension as consequence! We'll keep you updated!

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY

And now for our most anticipated segment ~

The good - we're awwwwing about the recent news that a new couple may be in town! Axel Wilcox and/or Harley Willow (XHighLadyofIdrisX) , do either of you care to explain? Though, with Axel's track record, we can't help but to feel the need to warn you....be careful girl!

The bad - Brothers Sammy Benzy and Benny Benzy (APH_2P_England) have reportedly returned to their home in Ireland. Sorely to be missed!

The ugly - Speaking of foreign and beloved stars, where the h*ll has Viktor Vaseiliev (Astrophilliac) been? Should someone call he police?? We're getting worried! Where are you, Viktor?

IN CONCLUSION

So, what can we learn from this past weekends excursions? Of course, we should all take away that our stars like to cool off the same way that we do - but, with a little more drama....;)

That's all for this edition! tune in next time for all the best information of our favorite stars.

some announcements

1. The cover as always is credited to trouvailleeeee , thank you so much for your beautiful work!

Whoever is most active from event to event is rewarded with their character on the cover on the most recent edition of The Scoop, and quite possibly an extended exclusive interview. So keep up your activity for the chance to win!

3. One thing I've noticed out there that needs mentioning is a reminder to admins to care for their characters all equally....I've been noticing quite a few out there who are quite clearly favoring female characters over their males. The male/female ratio rule is NOT to be used as a loophole! If you're making male characters just to get to your next female and you're not going to rp as them, i'm obviously going to figure it out and i'm NOT okay with that!  Please, don't make me have to be the bad guy and start calling people out. ALL CHARACTERS NEED TO BE USED EQUALLY. Those not following this rule will be assessed with a strike. 3 and you're suspended from the rp, refer to the rules page regarding this for a reminder.

4. This past event was a little lack luster drama wise, and not incredibly active. (even though we had record amount of responses for the survey xD) It's going to happen from time to time, I get that, but please try to be as active as possible to keep the rp up and running. If you're not going to be participating it's best if you just leave the rp, no shade. 

5. Event 6 will be up soon, shortly after this article has been released I'll release the concept for event 6 at least so you guys can see. ^^ 

6. I think that's it. Thanks everyone <3 you're the best.
