Lucy Spiller is the ambitious, ruthless, cynical, and scheming editor
of two Hollywood tabloid magazines, 'Dirt' and 'Now' and who's
masterful at using threats and manipulation to dig up dirt on
celebrities. Aided by resourceful paparazzi Don Konkey, a mentally
unbalanced schizophrenic, Lucy zeroes in on struggling actor Holt
McLaren, who needs favorable publicity and whose rising-star
girlfriend, Julia Mallory, is well-connected to some dirt when Holt
leaks info about Julia's superstar actress friend, Kira Klay's
pregnancy, but later regrets it. While stemming off her demanding
employer, Dirt's publisher Brett Barrow, Lucy is also very lonely and
hides her unhappiness and loneliness behind aggression and a
mean-spirited attitude. Meanwhile, Don zeros his attention of
basketball superstar Prince Tyreese who's having an affair with a local
prostitute, while Don suffers from periodic hallucinations from his
mental disorder and caring for his sick pet cat. Holt also learns about
some dirt that Lucy and Don have on Julia involving a porno tape in
order to keep him in line as their source of information.
