Hollywood in the 1950s is a place of big glamour, small talk, and mediumcool. The studios control everything, managing their actors' careers andmassaging the image they present to the public. To do this, they need the pressonboard, and the one aspect they can't control - gossip! This means themost powerful woman in Hollywood is Paige Turner, the celebrity columnist forone of America's most-read papers. Known for her outrageous headgear, Paige isoften called "The Mad Hatter" - a nickname with a doublemeaning, since everyone wants to be invited to her publicity party. When a moresalacious tabloid mentality creeps into the newsstands, though, Paige sees someof her ground being threatened. And the studios see a roguish new element thatmight not want to play ball. At the top of this salacious new art form is HarryRichards, "The Tabloid Dick," the guy with the snooping peepers whokeeps getting the scoop. What begins as a war of words ends up being aknock-down, drag-out fight for the number one slot as the biggest rumor mongerin entertainment!
