‘The Wanted Life:’ Crazy Like a Pop Star recap

Last week we were at The White House, this week the pop stars kept the party at their own LA mansion.

Max’s partying habits crashed with Nareesha’s creative schedule for her shoe design business. After inviting over random girls, in which they used the pool, banged on the piano, and of course went googly-eyed for the boys, Nareesha is not happy. While the rest of the band members partied downstairs, Siva instead listened to his girlfriend explain her newest idea for shoes. However, screaming girls interrupted her thoughts, causing her to loose her cool and deciding it was best if Siva says something to Max in the morning.

The camera picks up on the messy state of the house – solo cups scatter the perimeter of the house, there’s some spills on the couch – not the ideal thing to wake up to. Max, sitting in the kitchen in a torn straw hat resembling a sombrero was, however, a funny image to wake up to. Siva walks in, and directly tells Max that they need to think of a compromise for Nareesha’s work because it’s disrespectful. Max fires right back saying she made the choice to live here and that it’s strange she does work at four o’clock in the morning. Nareesha then steps in defending herself, though Max does not seem to listen or care, but only become more annoyed.

Going further against Siva and Nareesha, Max later invites over a bachelorette party, so there are tons of girls parading around the house mindlessly. One girl even startles Nareesha and Siva, who were just falling asleep, by standing over them and eventually sleeping on the edge of their bed. So much for having boundaries.

The next morning Nareesha again angrily confronts Max and told him about what happened. She brings up the point that any of these girls can walk into the rooms and take valuable items such as Macbooks or even unproduced music. For the first time, Max really listens to what Nareesha says, and admits that he crossed some major lines and that he was sorry. Hopefully he learned his lesson for next time.

Meanwhile, Kelsey dealt with the unflattering pictures of her leg cellulite the paparazzi published. She is teased by the guys, and although she appears to keep a strong attitude, she reveals that it made her sad and self -conscious. All is better when Tom later takes her out to a fancy dinner, accompanied by expensive champagne, and hands her a beautiful charm bracelet. And if that wasn’t cute enough he also tells her that he’d be lost without her.

In other terms of cuteness, Siva prepared a nice patio dinner for Nareesha in the backyard of the mansion accompanied by candles and gourmet food. Jay is the waiter, and he also admits he’s been volunteering for that position for two years, while Max is the chef and views it as his apology to Nareesha.

In terms of music, the boys channeled their inner Backstreet Boys to film their music video “Walks Like Rihanna.” The music video was aimed to be a walk through the greatest boy bands of all time. Max admits his favorite part was wearing white and dancing like The Backstreet Boys. Siva says his favorite part was learning how to dance for the video. And since Nathan only had to lip-sync during the video, he was in luck, since he still is on vocal rest.

The boys anxiously headed over to Scooter’s music studio to view the video. They soak up the scenes where they are pouring water on each other, laughing, and doing a synchronized dance. Everyone is happy with the video… except for Siva, who claims he was barely in it. Sounds like there’s some screen time competition?
