Up Close and Personal

Remember the sexy shenanigans at St Benedict's? The exclusive country club and spa with more millionaires per square foot than the Hamptons in midsummer? Well, the four gorgeous golfers' girls are back . let Cindy, Laura, Keeley and Marianne suck you into their naughty world where intrigue, blackmail and depravity bubble beneath the steamy waters of the Jacuzzi.

The girls go gossip crazy when fading soap actress Amber Solomon catches her billionnaire hotelier husband in flagrante with the housekeeper and messy divorce proceedings ensue. He won't part with a penny and she's damned if she's going to join the next series of Hell's Kitchen to keep herself in Krug.

Meanwhile, an oversexed American teenager is prowling the spa and Swinging is having a revival among the WAGs and their footballers. But will the Solomons' battle royal disrupt the delicious decadence of Delchester's favourite Spa resort and end in disaster? Of course it will!

Welcome to St Benedict�s Country Club and Spa. As a home away from home for the A-list, naturally membership comes at a premium � only the over-sexed, the over-rich and the over-beautiful need apply.

Take a tour of the sauna and work up a sweat before indulging in an intimate Swedish massage. Should your mood need enhancing further, this chic retreat comes with its own drugs baron and you simply must sample the foie gras in the Michelin-starred restaurant. Do watch out for the fiery-tempered chef, though, more prone to filleting his light-fingered staff than the freshly caught sea bass �

WAGs and racing drivers rub shoulders on the famous golf course, site of many a hole in one, and you�ll be able to join your celebrity companions for a glass of Cristal in the luxuriously appointed terrace bar after a hard day�s posturing for the paparazzi.

But beware. The St Benedict�s experience involves more sex, bad behaviour, blackmail and deviance than most women can handle. Are you ready to join the Club?

HOLLYWOOD GIRLS CLUB

As any A-lister knows in Hollywood, the climb to the top is a treacherous one and these stilettos better be made for stomping.  When four friends form a pact to bust the male-dominated industry and make a blockbuster film, they are in for more than what they bargained for.

There's "Cici" Solange, a stunning movie queen clinging to stardom by a manicured fingernail; her agent, Jessica Caulfield, president of CTA (the most "powerful" agency in town) determined to keep her top-notch client list and position; billion-dollar producer Lydia Albright, fighting to a bring a sure-fire hit to the screen before she's fired by a new studio chief; and writer Mary Ann Meyers, plucked from obscurity to write the $1.5-million screenplay that brings all the players together.

To their dismay, the fab four discover that the girls' club can be equally as cutthroat as the boy's club and it's most definitely cattier.  Having friends with power is crucial, but having friends you can trust is even better.  In Hollywood, success lasts seconds and you're only as good as your last hit. When your career is in jeopardy, the only people who will save you are your friends.
 
SECRETS OF THE HOLLYWOOD GIRLS CLUB

Life at the top of the A-list is fabulous, but it's a long way to the bottom when you fall--and the cameras are always waiting for that moment of public humiliation.  Jessica, Mary Anne, Lydia and Cici have stayed at the top by sticking together.  Their last project together was a huge hit that launched Jessica's boutique agency, catapulted Lydia to the top of Worldwide Pictures, created Mary Anne's multi-million dollar writing career and proved that Cici Solange was still number one on the A-List.  

But now someone wants to destroy them all.  

When notes black-mailing Cici start to surface in Lydia's office, the four gals must scramble to recover a sex tape, suppress career-destroying secrets, and protect the empire they've built. Everyone is a suspect and no one immune. As fears surface and facades crumble, the girls' club will discover that in Hollywood, everyone has a secret and they will do nearly anything to keep those secrets secure.
