"read all about it!
your name's in the headlines, darlin'.
don't you know,
what you've done?
come on then,
grab yourself a paper
and read it.

you said it's fake?
how can that be true?
we have proof!
this was all we needed
to convince your
so-called relationships
after all.

rumours?
don't accuse us of such things!
slander?
nonsense!
you're missing the point, baby.
don't you realise
that this fame is great?
even bad press is good press, love.
why aren't you smiling?
this is HUGE!
you're a star now,
can't you see?

everybody's talking about you,
you want that, right?
even if it's wrong...
it's still something.
be grateful that you're
finally getting somewhere,
instead of being dumped
in the back of a report.

stop crying now.
we'll play all the cards for you.
you're famous now:
head out and enjoy your new life.
who cares if you drown
from everybody's words?
at least you've had fun
whilst having the crown."
