HOLLYWOOD BACKSTAB—BRAVO!


Mac

The next time someone starts a rumor about you/deceives you/gossips behind your back, here’s an idea: Smile. And get over it. Because you’ve officially arrived!

As Mama Armstrong always says: you’re not **really** in Hollywood unless someone’s stabbing you in the back or you’re stabbing them in the back.

In other words: if no one wants what you have, no one will make the effort to sabotage you. If you are boring, you’re not worth the time. Sabotage takes energy my friends!

However, if you’ve actually got something that makes people envious, then believe me, they’ll be after you—in the form of catty backstabbing or passive aggressive comments. Consider it a compliment from the less fortunate.

No one said life at the top was easy.

Comments:

TOO TRUE SALLY!!! I TOE-DALLY AGREE!!! WOW UR JUST MY IDOL SALLY! WOW!!!!!!

Posted by SALLY IS MY SUPER CELEB! on June 03, 2009 at 06:27 PM EDT #

Yeah. Theres this girl in my class and she is always sooo jealous of whatever other people have that she doesn't. Nice hair, a boyfriend, friends, etc. So she starts all these rumors about them or trys to take what they have away from them. She presently doesn't have any friends, so to make some her way, she tells someone all this bad stuff about the other person and wants them to turn on each other and want her instead. And one girl in my class has a boyfriend who she trys to steal away from her. But you have to learn to just take it all as a compliment and pretend it doesn't bother you, cause if you remain cool, she'll go nuts!!

Posted by Kerry on June 06, 2009 at 11:24 AM EDT #

Heey. OMG, I'd love to watch a Talent movie! I wish they'd make the books into movies. It'd be sooo amazing! I'd totally be in love with the movies. And I'd like to be Mac or Coco. Coco because she dances and all, Mac because she's an Alpha. I dunno. Anyways, peacee out girlies.

Posted by Sophiee on June 06, 2009 at 12:24 PM EDT #

OMG, a movie about all three books would be sooooo good!

Yes, it is surely not real! If it was, why would some sites like um lets say the Clique webstite have so many comments....sometimes even up to 200 or more?!?! Yes so, keep up the good work girls! Write those comments!:D XOXO, Mac

Posted by Mac on June 13, 2009 at 05:15 PM EDT #

Oh!, Hi Mac!!!! I am so excited that you actually talk to us on this....I just hope you are not one of those fakers cuz I actually really like talking to the real live characters even if you are maybe just the author!

Posted by Millie on June 13, 2009 at 05:17 PM EDT #

Hi Millie, yup well just wanted to say hi back and thank you for the comment! So, what do you think about my blog? XOXO, Mac

Hey, I think this is cool advice, I admire it. Advice like this bests me through some of my worst time, I really enjoy it. I just finished the third book today. I'd really love to meet the girls who play the charachers. Even if they are just made up by the author. I think it's pretty cool. I just wanted to post this because of that. thanks, -emma,xox.

Posted by dalila on June 23, 2009 at 11:24 AM EDT #

Wow I absolutely love zoey's books I've only read the first one and I was so happy cause when I was watching the Clique (the movie) I saw that it was suckish compaired to TALENT, and I also saw that the grl in the movie was reading TALENT. I LoVE reading, but I can't find much books that I like. The only books I like r THE LUXE series, TALENT, and TWILIGHT!!! (twilight Is a movie so let's have the luxe and talent into MOVIES!!!)

Posted by Kelly on June 23, 2009 at 12:24 PM EDT #

Posted by allison on June 29, 2009 at 12:32 PM EDT #

Hola chicas, I'm back! If there was a movie for Talent, who would you audition for? I'd probably go for Coco or Becks. They're my fave characters! Mac is a little too bossy and Emily is... well, she's just a little strange. xoxo Jess <3 P.S. Is anyone here?

Posted by Jess <3 on June 29, 2009 at 02:10 PM EDT #

Just wanted to know what the A-list series is about... good or nawt? xoxo Jess <3

Posted by jv on June 29, 2009 at 02:57 PM EDT #

any1 on?

Posted by jv on June 29, 2009 at 03:00 PM EDT #

I really like the Talent books. I've tried to read The Clique(which is similar to Talent) but it's way too blah, unbelievable, and badly written (no offense). Talent is much better and Mac is a nicer leader. I have also read Pretty Little Liars (amazing books) and love the series. Twilight is awesome, too.. Private and Privilege are really cool high school series. The It Girl is really good, too :)

Posted by Sab on June 29, 2009 at 05:05 PM EDT #

omg i also ove pretty little liars and of corse talent

Posted by sarah on June 29, 2009 at 05:34 PM EDT #

omg i know mac is a wayyy better leader than massie!!! massie's so insecure and mean but mac's calm and and a true alpha. but i do <3 the clique books!!

Posted by Mac on July 08, 2009 at 04:21 PM EDT #

U know, sorellabella, u sound so conceited, "omg all the grls who gossip about me r total wannabes" do u guys HEAR yourselves?? And come ON don't tell me u guys have NEVER gossiped about some1 else and not just because u had to "do wat u had 2 do"

Posted by kate doll on July 09, 2009 at 06:17 PM EDT #

I no the girls who gossip about me are just jelous and want to make me look bad so they can take to spotlight. That isnt happeng any time soon! Wannabes r so lame, they should go get a life.

Hey! Thanx Hana! you rock too! Anyways I just wanted to write and ask any of the girls here what their fav stores are! I mean, there are alot of dif tastes like girly, sporty, rocker, and crazy-but-cute, and they're all good depending on who wears 'em. . So I wanna know what type are you girls!!

Posted by coco on July 12, 2009 at 12:35 AM EDT #

Emily here, and I want to let you girls in on a lil secret that I've learned here in Hollywood...well if you wanna b big, and b popular, u can't do it by copying someone else's look. Check out stars like Selena Gomez, Demi Levato, and Miley Cyrus. Three VERY different girls but all big, succesful and on their own shows. So remember, strut YOUR stuff and do YOUR style and ALWAYS Be YOURSELF, because you never know if your style is the next big thing!

Posted by Emily on July 12, 2009 at 12:50 AM EDT #

So true Em!! And thanx Hana!! xoxo ~Mac~

Posted by Mac on July 13, 2009 at 08:03 PM EDT #

Emily, ur sooooooo right!!! I am a manga-artist and I always get stuck on how to make my characters look and I know now it's bcause it's never one of my OWN ideas I always try to copy some awsome tv show!! Mo I know I was wrong and I've tried to do my own stuff and I luv it!!!.. U ROCK EMIlY!!!!!! UR MY FAV CHARACTER!!!

Posted by Christina on July 14, 2009 at 10:08 PM EDT #

Hey coco!! I just wanted to write about ur comment, I luv aeropostale, abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, Macy's, nordstrom, Forever 21, and Marc Jacobs. and I am a smart, surfer grl-girly type an I luv to draw manga like christina. OOOO an I luv reading!!!

Posted by cheerchic101 on July 22, 2009 at 07:51 PM EDT #

but what if the rumor gets worst and it is so bad it can ruin your life forever

Posted by Yliana on July 24, 2009 at 06:43 PM EDT #

okay so if people spread a rumor about you, then you're not boring anymore?!? wow. catty. but anyway I would be....coco, because she's petite like me. by the way, I love mac's hair!

Posted by emily on July 24, 2009 at 11:37 PM EDT #

yeah I had this rumor spread about me that was totally stupid, but I ignored it, and it went away! yeah that's totally cliche, but who cares? I agree with that whole "what if the rumor gets so bad it ruins your life" thing. what would you do if that happened?!?

Posted by emily on July 24, 2009 at 11:41 PM EDT #

this is so true. because "getting in" is so hard and when/if you ever do, it doesnt get any easier once you are on the inside. it is best to just free yourself from the situation and make more/new great friends before you get too comfortable in a bad situation

Posted by lena on July 27, 2009 at 12:21 PM EDT #

i dont undertsand. what do you do. you need to stand up for yourself but what is you dont like drama! this has happened to my BFF, i want to help her but i dont what to do! HELP!!!! p.s. love the books. reat work! :)

Posted by Kaitlyn on August 06, 2009 at 09:52 PM EDT #

just tell her its gunna be ok

Posted by Jamie on August 07, 2009 at 09:54 AM EDT #

gossiping's for LOSERS!!!!!!!!! it's just a mean way to say you're jealous of someone! so don't gossip!!!! don't tell anyone anything unless you have your facts straight!

Posted by Maevus on August 11, 2009 at 09:47 AM EDT #

i no right???? mac u rock! (so do emily becks and coco!!!!)

Posted by Jamie on August 14, 2009 at 05:04 PM EDT #

Posted by g on August 20, 2009 at 02:28 PM EDT #

Posted by carmen on August 21, 2009 at 09:39 AM EDT #

who says "brill"

Posted by jamie on August 25, 2009 at 09:42 PM EDT #

Hey girls! Thanks emily. ;] Heart u* xoxo ~Mac~

Posted by Mac on November 11, 2009 at 02:32 PM EST #

You guys towards the middle of the page, are total pretenders. Coco, as you put it, is actualyy spelled C-O-C-O-A! You guys think we're stupid, but we're NOT, U r for pretending. HAHA, LBRs- Losers Beyond Repair.

Posted by theREAL Cocoa on November 19, 2009 at 06:04 PM EST #

Fine, we were pretending, and face it, my other friends, we are LBRs. Geez, why o why were we sooo stupid, huhhuhhuhhuhhuh??? well, anyway, we're sorry, arent we gals, i mean it, we really and truly are.

Posted by Mac on November 19, 2009 at 06:06 PM EST #

Question... so this started in june right, and "Mac" you still are here after that long? you check this site that often???? I was just wondering as for the site adminstration... i don't know if it's real or not, if it isn't great job you're like convincing adult writers,(And for all i know maybe you are adults??:)) if it's real, sorry but you do know you can Block the comments right??? So, you know what, i've changed my mind, i think its' fake. oh and before i forget Great points everyone!
