Free Diamond in the Rough by India Lee Page B

teamed up in an effort to return some love to all of their fans!
     
    While at hotspot Godsend in the Lower East Side, Queen Bee and Zoe Mercury sparked pandemonium after offering to buy patrons a round of drinks (management claims that the two underage starlets were served non-alcoholic beverages only).  The excitement continued when the two staged an impromptu kissing booth – free of charge! Since yesterday, nearly a hundred pictures of lipstick-adorned fans have been uploaded to Zoe Mercury’s official Facebook, accompanied by affectionate comments for the two pop icons.
     
    “They seem like really sweet girls who know how to have fun, but still manage to be down-to-earth,” says Katey Aamodt, a Godsend patron who was present during the pop duo takeover.  “I wasn’t really a fan of either before last night, but I definitely am now!”
     
    One Queen Bee fan was even gifted an amethyst ring by H Stern, which retails at nearly $3,000! Neither parties have commented on their wild night yet, but at least we know that it sure pays to be a QB or Zoe fan!

 
    WHO CARES ABOUT ZOE MERCURY – WHAT THE FLYING F@#$% HAPPENED BETWEEN QB AND TYLER CHASE?!

    I’ll tell you what happened.
    Nothing. 
    Because Tyler Chase is a little classier than to run off with some chick so they could rent a hotel room and have a quickie.  If he needed to fulfill some urgent sexual desire, he would have called me on speed dial not made it so obvious. 
    Inside sources (aka my cat, Winky) tell me that Bitchass Bee just had a case of the runs.  Who would want to let it all out at a star-studded event? I totally understand, QB – I also prefer private bathrooms during colonic emergencies.
    But seriously.  For all you Tyler Chasers shedding tears over his tarnished innocence, just calm your asses down for a hot second.  My sources (not my cat this time) have informed me that Tyler was seen leaving QB’s hotel shortly after dropping her off.  Certainly not enough time for bumping nasties (not with a stud like Tyler, at least).
    Which brings me to the topic of this new BFF situation between QB and Zoe.  I saw it happening a mile away, but that doesn’t mean I approve.  As you all know, Zoe and Tyler are friends and their fans have been allied since Tyler guest-starred on “Outta This World.”  I’ll be severely disappointed if Zoe’s Little Aliens cross sides to become besties with Bitchass’s Honeybees.  You know that QB’s people fabricated this whole friendship to steal publicity from Queen Zoe right? I’m warning you – don’t fall into the trap!
    And as for you Queen Bee, I heard Imodium works wonders for a case of the scoots.

    “Not again!” Mira exclaimed as she leaned against the kitchen counter, eyes scanning a letter.
    “What is it? Who’s the letter from?” Gemma asked as she and Lucas rummaged through the refrigerator.
    “People still send letters?” Lucas laughed.
    “Beauford Town Hall.  They’re raising taxes again this year, I don’t know how this is allowed.”
    “You’re boring us,” Gemma joked.  Mira smacked Gemma’s arm playfully.
    “At some point, you’re going to become an adult and these things will matter to you.  Especially if you own as much property as I do.”
    “My dad mentioned it earlier this week,” Lucas said as he emerged from the refrigerator with a bottle of Gatorade.  “He and a bunch of people were trying to get the town to do a reassessment on the tax increase because it’s been happening every year.”
    “Well it’s good to hear your father’s so involved,” Mira nodded at Lucas with admiration.  “And I love when young people stay informed too.”
    “Okay, apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on in this room,” Gemma sighed.
    “Elisa and I are keeping track because my dad keeps saying we’re going to move if they keep raising the taxes.
