Joe Keenan

Gilbert Selwyn es un joven encantador al que el trabajo le produce una alergia incurable. Para mantener sus finanzas a flote y saquear los bolsillos del escandalosamente rico marido de su madre, ha concebido un plan perfecto: organizar una boda solo por los regalos. Pero Gilbert es gay y necesita una novia con la que llevar a cabo su brillante idea. Ahi entra en escena la ambiciosa Moira Finch, cuya madre, que se acaba de casar con el multimillonario duque de Dorsetshire, tambien contribuira a los ingresos de la futura pareja. Ayudados por Philip Cavanagh, un compositor de musicales que en el pasado tuvo un breve romance con Gilbert, se embarcaran en una alocada y peligrosa aventura repleta de sorpresas que les llevara a enfrentarse con un invitado inesperado: la Mafia italiana.

Meet Gilbert and Moira - the strangest couple to ever marry for each others money. And enter, finally, the Cellinis, Gilberts huge internecine stepfamily, whose fortune has not been amassed as innocently as Gilbert first thought, and who conform rather more closely to Italian-American stereotypes than Gilbert would like to believe.

The luckless writing team of Philip Cavanaugh and Claire Simmons is lured to Hollywood by shifty pal Gilberts offer of a lucrative screenwriting gig. The job proves even more ill-gotten than they'd feared, but then comes the news that the project will be graced by Hollywood royalty imperious screen legend Diana Malenfant, her son the fantastically sexy (and secretly gay) megastar Stephen Donato, plus Stephen's hastily acquired wife, the lovely, if clueless, Gina. But with such Star Power on board how long before three newbie scribes are replaced by more seasoned hands? Unhappily - or perhaps, inevitably - the road to glory proves liberally strewn with land mines. Throw in teh macinations of MOira Finch (an old adversary of Gilbert's) and our hetroes soon find themselves center stage in a rapidly escalating fiasco involving call boys, plagiarism, blackmail, a vengeful DA, bloodthirsty scoop hounds and teh single most ill-judged sex act a married megastar has ever committed...
