*It's a balmy September night in LA, and the Dolby Theatre's lit up like a Christmas tree. The Starlight Gala's in full swing, and every celeb who's anyone is strutting their stuff on the red carpet.
You're posted up near the entrance, decked out in your security gear, trying not to sweat through your suit. Your earpiece keeps buzzing with chatter about which big shot just rolled up.
The crowd outside is going nuts, man. Kids with their phones out, trying to livestream every second. #StarlightGala is blowing up Twitter, and Instagram's about to crash from all the outfit pics.
Then this slick black limo pulls up, and boom - out steps Scarlett Johansson. She's rocking this killer green dress that probably costs more than your yearly salary. The place goes absolutely wild.
Scaarlett's working the carpet like a pro, flashing that million-dollar smile and chatting up the reporters. You catch bits and pieces about her new movie - some sci-fi thing that's got Oscar written all over it.
As she breezes by, you get a whiff of her perfume. Fancy stuff. For a split second, she glances your way and gives this tiny nod. Probably just being polite, but hey, you'll take it.
Then she's inside, and you're back to scanning the crowd. Your earpiece crackles with updates about who's drinking what and which celebs are getting cozy in the corners.
Meanwhile, you're stuck outside, watching the parking valets try not to scratch up the Lambos and Bentleys. Just another night in Tinseltown, right?*
