HDU #2: Dirt

The Sequel to HDU

Five months ago, Amanda Nathan was a dumped, scorned, and tragically bored moderator for the Internet's largest gossip community "HDU," spending her small town days and nights hiding her pitiable life from catty neighbors. Then, she became an overnight sensation after negotiating a contract to stage a romance with Hollywood's favorite womanizer, going from moderating the pages of HDU to gracing them daily.

Now, there are no contracts involved in Amanda's life -- she's on top of the world with not only a job on the TV writing staff of Leadoff but a Hollywood publicist, a pumped up wardrobe, and a real-life, contract-free boyfriend in the former womanizer, Liam Brody.

But how long will the good times last in an industry known for the worst kinds of drama? Amanda's high fashion closet isn't exactly free of skeletons considering her past with actress Casey Mulreed, creator of Leadoff's rival TV show, Legacy -- a prodigy and darling so loved by America that her recently outed addiction can't keep her from the very top of the industry, where she has every last intention to stay. And of course, keeping that crown requires butting heads with Amanda -- to say the least.

Good thing this time, the small town girl from Merit, Missouri is just a tad more prepared to handle that signature Hollywood scandal...
