Soap Opera "As The Mouse Moves" - Wednesday May 16^th 2001
"Where do you want me to stand?"  Starlene asked the reporter from "Go Gossip TV" as they dodged the students on the sidewalk across the street from Washington Square Park.
"Right here in front of your sister Tiffany's apartment would be great," Ben the reporter said.
"Do I look okay?" Starlene asked brushing her long blonde hair from her eyes.
"You look great," Ben answered for the third time in the last few minutes.
"What time will this be on TV?"
"Tonight's evening news."
"Ready Starlene?" the cameraman asked.
"Yeah," she said taking a deep breath and pushing her shoulders back.
"One, two, three, rolling," the cameraman counted and touched the button on his camera.
"We're here outside the home of Starlene, the young actress and model from Lillard Georgia.  Starlene was recently seen with the wealthy socialite and political insider Stanley Morgan," Ben said as the camera scanned Starlene in her skintight jeans and low-cut revealing sweater as she stood in front of her sister Tiffany's apartment building across the street from Washington Square Park. "Thank you for joining us Starlene."
"It's my pleasure," Starlene said in her thick southern accent. The camera quickly zoomed in on Starlene's carefully made up smiling face.
"We wanted to put an end to rumors and get to the truth.  You were seen recently in a limo at Times Square with the wealthy older socialite Stanley Morgan.  His daughter Jan denied reports earlier today that her influential Father was seeing you.  Could you please tell us once and for all, is there a relationship between you and Stanley Morgan?"
"Yes there is."
"You are quite a bit younger than Mr. Morgan.  How old are you Starlene?"
"I'm nineteen."
"How did you meet Stanley Morgan?"
"I met him at a going away party for Laney."
"You mean his girlfriend the Playbody model?"
"Yeah, but she's not his girlfriend anymore.  She moved to California.  She's been seeing a movie director".
"So they aren't a couple anymore?"
"Oh gosh no."
"What is the relationship with you and Stanley Morgan then? Are you just friends as his daughter Jan has implied?"
"It's more than that." 
"Please do tell Starlene.  Women all over New York would love to catch a wealthy man like Stanley Morgan, are the two of you lovers?"
"I guess you could say that," she said smiling and pretending to be shy.
"So you are lovers?"
"Well, yes."
"Is this relationship serious?  Do you want to marry this billionaire?"
"Maybe."
"How do you get along with his daughter Jan?"
"I see her at social affairs.  We get along okay."
"Social affairs.  Which ones are you talking about?
"Like Amir's party at the Waldorf."
"Yes that was the first time we saw the picture of you with Stanley and the Mayor."
"Yeah, we're all friends."
"You're friends with the Mayor too?"
"Of course."
"Then you know Amir Hada too?"
"Of course."
"Do you think Stanley Morgan can help Amir get elected as Mayor of New York?"
"I think Stanley can do anything he really wants to do and so can Amir."
"There have been rumors in the past linking your older sister Tiffany with Amir Hada.  Is there any truth to this?"
