Turning the tables on her tabloid press tormentors, Courteney Cox plays the aptly named Lucy Spiller, a callous editor in chief of two sleazy magazines determined to dish the dirt about Tinsletown's A-list celebrities. To dig up a juicy scandal, Lucy will stoop to using any means necessary -- including bribery, intimidation and extortion. This wicked satire also stars Ian Hart as Don Konkey, Lucy's top paparazzo.

Summary of Season 1 (2007) - 4 discs

Helped by zany photographer Don Konkey (Ian Hart), ambitious rag editor Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox) does her best to walk the fine line between ruthless scheming (blackmail) and journalistic integrity (she will publish only the truth). This provocative satire of the cult of celebrity and the world's truly insatiable appetite for Hollywood gossip also features Will McCormack and ex-NBA star Rick Fox.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this adults-only cable drama features explicit sex scenes including topless women, bare-bottomed men, and (hidden) sex toy usage. Drug use is rampant, including one scene of cocaine being snorted by a pregnant woman while she commits suicide. One attractive, appealing character is a drug dealer, while the celebrities portrayed are sometimes complex -- both backstabbing and sympathetic. Some creepy, if unique, elements include a pregnant ghost woman in a romantic relationship with a (live) mentally ill man.

Sexual Content

Extreme sexual content, including nudity. Character has spirited pool-side sex with a hooker. Lots of moaning and sex talk.

Violence

Occasional violence, including an intense kicking and punching scene. One character commits suicide by drug overdose.

Language

Only the most extreme language is omitted. Frequent uses of "s--t," "ass," "dick," etc. are loud and clear

Social Behavior

Both sides -- the celebrities and the tabloids -- have momentarily redeeming moments, but mostly they're backstabbing, pill-popping, promiscious folks.

Consumerism

Blatant product placement: Pontiac, Range Rover, Treo, Dell, and a mention of Dancing With the Stars.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Constant drinking and drug use -- coke, ecstasy, marijuana.
