to know that I'm sorry

and...

I know that...

I wouldn't love anyone

as much as I love her.

I love you, K'harma.

I love you.

Alright, can we stop now?

Please. Okay.

Toby.

- I'm sorry.

- How could you do that to me?!

You know how f***in'

humiliating that was?!

- I didn't mean for that to happen.

- You didn't mean?!

Shut the f*** up!

You're such a dick!

I'm sorry.

You've been so nice to me.

I've been so 'nice' to you! I've

been so 'nice' to you! How nice?

No, you've been

more than nice to me.

I'm sure I have been more than nice.

What exactly do you mean?

What exactly do you mean by that?

I mean you're a really

f***in' special woman.

I'm such a f***in'

special woman. Please.

And I'll never forget

what you've done for me.

It's just not...

Look, it's just...

- What?

- She's a little bit more...

She's a little bit more what?

I don't know.

- And you're a little bit more...

- What? I'm a little more 35 ,

and she's a little more 18 with a Barbie doll ass!?

No, you're putting words in my

mouth. That's not what I'm saying.

That's exactly

what you're saying, Toby!

Why don't you just

call a spade a spade?

Listen, I never wanted to hurt you.

- Well.

- I don't want to hurt you.

Just humiliate me?

Look, I'll pack my stuff

and I'll go. Okay?

I'll get out of here.

Whatever you want.

I want you to be happy.

That's what I want right now.

So I'll pack everything up

and I'll get out of here.

I'll find a place.

It's fine.

Just stay here until

you find some where else.

Really? You sure?

Yeah. Stay in the back room.

Alright. I'll move my stuff

into the back room and we'll

just be like living together.

Be like little roommates.

Like friends.

Whatever.

Let's go make up your bed.

Welcome back.

This is Nikki Blake.

Well, awards season

is upon us and already

hundreds of new films and stars are

vying for those precious statues...

I can't concentrate with the TV on.

What concentrate?

You pick up the card, you throw it

down. A monkey could play this game.

"Slice of Life" badboy,

Toby Grace made

television history last night by

broadcasting his love for reigning

pop diva K'harma.

Sources close to the two are

keeping mum but it was evident

at this post-awards party

that sparks were beginning to fly.

Hey, that's Feldman's photo.

Are we playing cards or what?

Yeah, we're playing.

For teenage fans outside

the Slice studios in New York,

the romance meter

was off the charts.

It was the most

romantic thing I've ever seen!

I love you, Toby!

I don't care if you're homeless!

As for the TV Romeo,

he's keeping any further

confessions close to the heart.

I mean, I appreciate. But

I wasn't trying to be romantic.

When you love someone

you just got to go with the flow.

Oh, that's original.

AT caught up with the object of his

affections at her Manhattan hotel.

All I can say is

I'm really, really touched.

Wow.

Good for Toby. That's great.

Why is that great?

He was always a nice kid.

Really? He's a jerk.

What? Why do you say that?

Because I know him. Come on,

I lived with him right here.

You know what he is?

He's a backstabbing

ungrateful leech.

No. Really?

Oh, my God. I could

tell you stories, Ricco.

I'll tell you what he did.

He broke into my computer.

Broke into your computer?

What was he looking for?

I don't know. Bank records,

account numbers. You know?

Personal stuff. Deeply personal.

He always seemed like a nice kid.

Why do you keep saying that?

Because he did.

He seemed like a nice kid.

- I just told you he wasn't.

- I know.

I guess I just liked him.

A really, really nice kid.

That's it! what the f***

is wrong with you, man?! Get out!

Get your cards and get out!

I never seen you like this.

You to chill, bro'.

Why you be bugging?

Why I be bugging? why can't you stop

talking about Toby this, Toby that!?

"Toby's a nice kid! Blah blah blah.

Feldman's photo."

Man, if you love the kid so much

why don't you marry him?!

- Just get out.

- Was I talking about him that much?

No, just every f***in' second!

Goodbye, Ricco. Nice having you.

- You're wrong, man.

- Yeah, I'm wrong.

Where's that camera I gave you?

I still got it. Thanks, Dad.

Thanks for reminding me,

because I got something coming up.

Something I could really use it for.

Someone I know is just dying

to get his picture taken.

He used to be a friend of mine.

Okay.

You reach out to a guy.

You try to apologize.

You say you're sorry,

just trying to connect on a basic

human level and what does he say?

He says 'no'.

No.

Mr. Big TV Star.

He doesn't even want

to meet you halfway.

Fine.

What goes around

comes around, my friend.

Rule number one...

You don't mess with Les.

As simple as that.

You reap what you sow

and you are what you eat.

Let's see what we got here.

Listen, when get inside

we go to E! first

then Access Hollywood, then Ew.

And it is absolutely critical we get

that shot with Clooney and del Toro.

Yeah, yeah, yes?

Hey, it's Gabi.

We're going to get out first.

What do you mean, you're going to

get out? No. Toby gets out first.

No, Dana, K'harma's going to get out

first. She going to get halfway up

- and then Toby's going to get out.

- Exactly. Jesus.

No, Gabi.

Toby gets out first. Then she gets

out when he's a third of the way up.

Where is he?

Which car is he in?

Would you goddamn hurry up

and get in front of them!

- F***in' sh*t! God dammit!

- For f***'s sake!

Don't let them in.

Do not let them get in first.

Dana, Dana? Guess what?

Cut the sh*t.

No, Gabi, you cut the f***in' sh*t.

Her last album

moved ten million units.

Yes. Plus foreign.

Oh really? well, he happens to be

the lead in a $90 million movie.

Why don't we

just get out together?

Shut up.

She's the celebrity endorsee

for Nova Cola,

domestic and international

including Taiwan.

Fine. She'll get out and then

he's going to get out

when she's

a quarter of the way up.

Love you, mean it.

It's so much better

that you get out second.

It's much classier.

It's much better.

- Yeah. I don't care.

- No.

You should care. It's big.

It means something.

You have to enjoy this moment. It's

everything we've been working for.

- Get your coat on.

- Come on.

Do a little of this.

- Are you ready, Byron?

- Yeah.

Alright, let's go.

K'harma!

Hey, homeless.

That's what you are, Les.

You're a f***in paparazzi.

Paparazzi.

Paparazzi.

Rule number one...

Friends is friends.

I gave you a job.

I gave you a place to sleep.

When you love someone you just

got to go with the flow.

Go with the flow.

- You're a f***in paparazzi.

- What did I say?

I said I would

take you with me.

I would take you with me.

Hey, Les!

Where're you going?

- Toby!

- Les.

You look great, man.

Les.

I love you, man.

Wait a minute. Hold it.

Beautiful!

Yes!

Go. Go. Go.

Welcome back to Access Tonight.

We're here with

our very special guest,

professional photographer

Les Galantine.

Now let's talk about the picture.
