captured on hidden camera.’
    ‘Today Barron is said to be in crisis talks with his wife of seven years Annette Barron, after he was embarrassingly caught making an X-rated film.’
    After being snapped in an erotic embrace with writer Eva Valentine, Barron has issued an official statement.
    It is with great remorse that I apologize for the embarrassment I have caused my wife and our families.
    I feel that I have been a victim of a smear campaign, and that this young woman targeted me and wants to destroy my good name.
    I realize I have been irresponsible, but believe I have been set up for financial gain.
    I hope the public will respect my family’s privacy at this vulnerable time.
    Stunned, I handed over my money for the equatorial rain forest under my arm, and left the shop. I stood outside trying to deal with the magnitude of the situation, until the harsh elements of this January day drove me home.
    Somewhat bedraggled I sat back down at my caffeine-stained kitchen table, with a convenience breakfast of tea, a Double Decker and a KitKat.
    I simply didn’t have the energy to turn the grill on. As if swotting for an exam I spread the papers across the table, but not before carelessly swiping some old breadcrumbs on the floor. As I placed my mobile neatly beside my tea, for easy access, I realized I had left it on silent. I had lots of missed calls. There were five calls from a private number, and the rest of the messages were from Anna, Lisa and Parker.
    Beep … ‘Hey girlfriend, it’s Anna here.’
    ‘Brazen Barron beds busty brunette, eh? Can’t believe they call you busty. I’m only jokin’ with ya.’
    ‘Talk about sex, lies and videotape. Ha! Apparently his wife has kicked him out of the house. I was talking to a friend of mine who goes to the gym with her best mate, and she says she’s devastated.’
    ‘I can’t believe it made so many papers, you bitch.’
    ‘Call me; I wanna hear all the gories.’
    ‘Oh, my pal Gavin says he thinks you’re hot. He says if you want to record a sequel, he’s your stud. He wants to be your Martini man, any time, any place, anywhere.’
    ‘Call me now. I need to hear
everything
.’
    Beep … ‘Eva, its Lisa. OH MY GOD. You must be a wreck. Fuck! What are you going to do? I can’t believe the weed tried to blame you. He has a cheek.’
    ‘Mother thought it was a hoot. She says she wants to take you for lunch at the Four Seasons. Says she wants to show off her celebrity pal to all her golfing buddies.’
    ‘Hope you’re OK.’
    ‘Ring me.’
    Beep … ‘Hey busty, Parker here. You’re scandalous. I love it.’
    ‘I presume it’s all a pack of lies, don’t let them get you down. Half of this town just wishes they were described as a “Toy Girl Temptress”.’
    ‘Jeez, that Barron guy could publish my affair any day of the week. I’m getting all hot and bothered just thinking about it.’
    ‘Love you. Call me.’
    It was three o’clock and still no word from the folks. I had to bite the bullet and call them.
    ‘Mum … have you seen any of the papers?’
    ‘Yes, your father brought them in an hour ago after your gran rang in a distressed state.’
    ‘… Do you hate me?’
    ‘We’re very disappointed in you, Eva, very disappointed.’
    ‘But they’re all lies, Mum. The papers are basically saying that I’m one of these kiss ’n’ tell tarts. I’m not, I swear.’
    ‘Eva, your father and I are very hurt right now. You’ve brought a lot of shame on the family name.’
    ‘What’s that supposed to mean? We don’t exactly have a name to begin with.’
    ‘Don’t take that tone of voice with me, young lady. You’ve caused enough problems already. I don’t know how I’ll be able to hold my head up at Weight Watchers this week. And your father had promised to paint the pillars out the front today, but of course that plan got scrapped. He couldn’t stand the sympathy from all the neighbours.’
    ‘Sorry, Mum, it was a shock to me too, you
