Billy Crystal is one of those entertainers who feels like he's been part of Hollywood forever, and while he’s definitely left his mark as a comedian, actor, and host, his Oscar wins aren’t what he’s most famous for. He’s actually never won an Academy Award for acting or directing, but he’s been nominated once—for Best Original Screenplay for 'When Harry Met Sally...' back in 1990. That script, co-written with Nora Ephron, is iconic, but it lost to 'Dead Poets Society.' Still, the fact that it’s still quoted decades later says something about its lasting impact.
Where Billy really shines at the Oscars is as a host. He’s hosted the ceremony nine times, and his opening monologues and musical numbers are legendary. There’s a reason he keeps getting asked back—his charm, wit, and ability to poke fun at Hollywood while still feeling like part of the family make him a perfect fit. Even without a competitive Oscar on his shelf, his contributions to the film industry, both in front of and behind the camera, are undeniable. Plus, who can forget him as Mike Wazowski in 'Monsters, Inc.'? Sometimes, the roles that don’t get awards recognition end up being the ones audiences remember most.

“I know four men who will be the perfect men to help you complete the tasks on your list.”
It was that sentence that started everything. Or maybe it was my sudden need for adventure or the fact that my life was falling apart.
I’m a baker. I love my bakery, but my feelings got all mixed up when my best friend died in a freak accident. In order to honour my best friend, I decided to complete her bucket list.
I never expected to fall in love with four strangers.
A relationship with different men will never work, right?

Contains MM & The Mention of SA and Suicide (not detailed, just mentioned briefly)
The night before my wedding, I caught my fiance, Liam, in bed with my best friend. That really sucked. So, as revenge, I slept with Liam’s boss, Jethro.After getting pregnant with Jethro’s child, I coerced him into taking me as his wife. Alas, life as a trophy wife wasn’t as expected. I decided to call it quits, but Jethro squashed that thought and declared, “Serena Hart, you are mine. Forever.”
Blaire Quincy has dedicated the past few years to being the perfect wife, loving one man and one man alone. Jacob Sylvan. But at the end of the day, he chose another.
Betrayed by her entire family and one true love, the truth became glaring to Blaire and fed up of everything, she declared for a divorce and isolated herself.
Years later, she reappeared but what they never expected was that she was no longer the Blaire Quincy they once knew.
Despite being forced by her parents to marry in order to save her younger sister fron the same fate, Rose Springs has a very clear plan in mind: she will remain married to the cold and rude billionaire Aaron Vamcap for only one year, to ensure that the contract her parents want so badly to be concluded and, than, she can file for divorce. Which shouldn't be difficult, since her husband and his entire family visibly hate her. However, the more time she spends in that isolated mansion, the more Rose is surprised by the fact that everyone there seemed to think she was the worst person in the world, but also happy to realize that she is getting them to really know her. So much, when the time to leave comes, a part of Rose feels strangely sad to leave the Vamcaps behind, including her grumpy husband. However, inexplicably, what she thought would be a peaceful situation turns into a mess when Aaron refuses to give her a divorce. But, wasn't he the one who said that she would never be a Vamcap, when they met?
What was wrong with him?
"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers.
"W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night—the night that had changed her life completely.
"What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear.
Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all.
"Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine.
"Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me."
