Dirty Little Secrets

Synopsis:
It's hard to resist the tabloids -- their lurid depictions of celebrity woes and triumphs are blown up to almost mythical proportions. In this engrossing, naturalistic Dramatization of four long-running stories, we delve into the down-and-dirty details of Michael Jackson's marriages to Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe, Frank Sinatra's slow death, Tommy Lee and Pamela anderson's volatile relationship, and the revelations of Sherry Rowlands, the call girl with whom Clinton strategist Dick Morris conducted a long affair. Is it possible to separate the real-life events from these larger-than-life celebrity personas?

Man's Best Friend, A

Synopsis:
at its core, Jeffrey M. Jones's a Man s Best Friend is a circus of human failings. Jones s characters flaunt their flaws under this big top without ever realizing their existence. the main character is a "bad clown" named Sluggo who does nasty things all the time. Sluggo's wife, Jane, has dated Sluggos in various forms since high school and she can't seem to stop no matter how badly things turn out. His adopted brother Steve is a pathetic 30-something who just wants to have sex with young, hot chicks. Steve goes to a swami who tells him he has a "squid tumor" but then admits that he's a lying sack of shit ; still Steve allows the swami to operate on him. Sluggo's guardian angel is too weak to resist his cruelty and eventually turns toward the dark side. His mom is jealous of other women getting too close to her boys. and there is a vicious, nightstick happy cop who keeps showing up in the bedroom.
