Starlet (Randi Reisfeld, 2007)
It seems this series was renamed before the first book came out. My galley was called The Posse, which is a better name and more descriptive of the story, in my opinion. Anyway, for a silly story about instant fame, it's pretty good. We follow the winner of an American Idol-like television show for aspiring actors as she hits Hollywood and becomes immersed in the movie industry. She brings two friends and her cousin along for the ride, forming the posse that gets into some of its own drama and conflict. The nasty anonymous blogger device is probably stolen from the Gossip Girls series, which I haven't read, but it worked nicely to create tension. The next installment comes out later this year, so if you can't get enough, you don't have long to wait. Starlet, as it's now called, is the literary equivalent of One Tree Hill. It's entertaining and quick, but you won't remember it in a week.
