Starlit

Soap star/entrepreneur/self-improvement guru Rinna whips up a breezy, good tart versus bad tart Tinseltown tale where the women are hot, the men are weaklings, and ambitions are unbridled. Struggling actresses Tally, Sadie, and Mandy finally get a break—Tally scores a part on a hit TV series; smart and opportunistic Sadie lands a job with superagent Josh Gold; and fake-chested Mandy proves a natural at Dandy Candy porn studios. Their love lives are another matter altogether. Tally hooks up with Hollywood hunk and morally corrupt Gabriel, who makes an unholy alliance with Tally's nemesis that scotches Tally's chance at true love and a meaningful career. Sadie's boss-then-husband Josh falls victim to his dormant drug habit, with disastrous results. Only Mandy makes the sleaze factor work for her. Glammy, savvy, a little trashy, and a lot of fun, this insider's take on getting ahead in Hollywood may be unapologetically short on substance, but it's long on entertainment. (Oct.)
