Cat's Meow
Cat McAllister is just about to celebrate her 25th birthday for the fourth time. A child-actress turned fading It-girl, she’s well aware that her fame is starting to lose its shine. She really should have tragically overdosed by now. Or else succumbed to some harrowing disease brought on by a steady diet of vodka-tonics and TicTacs. Currently she’s in danger of being consigned to that seventh circle of celebrity hell where she’s just recognizable enough for people to think she’s someone else. Worse still, her trust fund is running dry…
What’s a girl to do? With few assets (aside from a temperature-controlled closet) and fewer talents (shopping and an encyclopedic knowledge of Best-Dressed Lists) there’s only one way out of B-list obscurity: to marry and marry well. Her quarry: not just Mr. Right but Prince Right — New York’s most eligible bachelor, Stefan of Westonia. Let the games begin…

Fresh Off the Boat (Semi-Autobiographical)
Dear Peaches,
America is perfect! I love it here. I wish you could come visit—we could go shopping on Market Street and you could meet all my new friends. And my new boyfriend. He looks exactly like Tobey Maguire (from Spider-Man, not Seabiscuit). We’ll be the hottest couple at the Soirée!
I miss you!! xxxooo,
V.
Okay, so Vicenza isn’t being totally honest with Peaches, her best friend back in Manila. But what fun is it being the new girl at snooty Grosvernor High? Or rooting through the Salvation Army for unholey cashmere sweaters? Or having culture-shocked, embarrassingly clueless parents? Maybe being Claude Caligari’s ignored geometry partner is sort of fun, but Vicenza would rather be his girlfriend ... or at least his date to the annual fancy-schmancy Soirée d’Hiver. Instead, she’s stuck going with scrawny family friend Freddie in an outlet-purchased, coupon-reduced dress that is nothing short of disaster!
But Vicenza won’t be friendless, fashionless, or “fresh off the boat” for long—it’s only a matter of time before she sees what’s right before her eyes, and her luck begins to change.

GIRL: Stays In the Picture
If you can’t be a mega-selling teen pop star, maybe you can join her entourage…
Devon—one name only, please—is the latest and jail-bait-est pop star to hit #1 on the Billboard chart and she’s making her big screen debut in Juicy. But after a stint in rehab, the studio isn’t so sure she’s their girl anymore. If they cut any more of her lines, she’ll be a silent film actress! Can Devon regain her star status? She needs to watch her back and make sure that flash doesn’t catch her causing a scene, and we don’t mean the kind you can yell "Cut!" after.
Livia has lost the weight and gained a reputation for attitude in the Hollywood party scene. Her dad’s an Oscar-winning producer, and with a hot Beverly Hills boyfriend on her arm as well as her photos all over the pages of Gossizzle.com, Livia looks like she has a perfect life. But looks can be perfectly deceiving…
And there’s fresh-faced Casey, who left a job bagging groceries at the Piggly Wiggly to play personal assistant to her best friend...and Devon’s biggest rival. She’s got the biggest crush on the biggest star of the film—a hot Brit known for loving and leaving them. Will Casey stay true to herself while trying to find a place in his universe?
Stars. They’re just like us. But what does that mean for the rest of us? Stay tuned, people.
