"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to Celebrity Catch! Your favorite holonet program for all of the latest and greatest celebrity gossip! If you didn't hear it here, you probably didn't hear it at all," Elora welcomed viewers with a cheerful lilt to her voice, the smile she wore as phony as a Hutt. The Pantoran hated this segment, and she swore that a part of her very soul died every time she was forced to mutter the words, 'Welcome back to Celebrity Catch.' But as much as she might have longed for real journalism, she had bills to pay and a life to live. Not everyone could live off of good will and warm, fuzzy feelings like the Jedi.
"Just days ago Korre Belasi formally announced her resignation from the office of Prime Minister. When pressed by reporters to issue a statement, the former Prime Minister of the Free Worlds stated that she would be taking a break from politics to focus on humanitarian efforts with the GHO, an organization she founded along with Dr. Ilana Morata at the height of the AMS crisis.
"But according to sources close to the Belascan, that might not be the only reason she stepped down as Prime Minister. This time, it's a tale as old as time—love." The Pantoran smiled, adding, "And no, it's probably not who you're thinking of. There were rumors of a romantic connection between Miss Belasi and Senator Narpoo, but those rumors were never substantiated. No, the man in question this time is none other than the Jade Prince himself, Jin Vaisra of Fondor."
Elora arched an eyebrow. "Unlike Senator Narpoo, he doesn't strike me as the teddy bear type. Whatever type he might be, Korre Belasi must approve since she stepped down from her appointed office to pursue a love affair with him. It would appear that Senator Vaisra approves of her, too, since he's already ushered her into the Palace of a Thousand Stars to meet his mother, the Jade Queen! Romantic, isn't it? A whirlwind romance, born behind the hidden doors of politics and blossoming over the gulf that divides the New Republic and the Free Worlds Alliance.
"Now that Miss Belasi has met the Jade Queen, we wouldn't be surprised if there are wedding bells to be heard in the near future. When the happy couple does decide to tie the knot, you can rest assured that Celebrity Catch will be up to date with all of the latest details!"
