Description

Ruthless, beautiful Belinda wants a rich and famous man. Her problem is that interviewing Z-list celebs offers zero opportunity for megastar-bagging. Gentle Grace, meanwhile, only wants a quiet life. Her problems include an egomaniac boyfriend, a meddling mother and a publishing job with the authors from hell. Belinda makes the A-list, while Grace finds fame thrust upon her in the shape of a handsome film star. As the girls lives and careers spectacularly collide, it is then their real problems begin.
