Dirt, the sequel to HDU, comes out tomorrow (note: only on Amazon and Barnes & Noble - readers using iTunes and other vendors, stay tuned for a separate release date - my apologies!). Below is the blurb for Dirt, along with one last teaser article. Looking forward to tomorrow - thanks for reading!
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 just 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.

REUNITED AND
IT FEELS SO GOOD GOD LIAM GOT HUGE
HDU via The
Durt
You
know how you were going to just say that you watched A Soldier to sound
like the type of person who could sit through a three-hour political war drama?
Or were only going to watch it right before the Oscars so you could sound smart
and participate in award season discussions?
Well,
now you’re actually going to eagerly watch it. The day it comes out.
Because Liam Brody.
From the looks of it, the guy spent his time in Jordan eating a
Costco-sized carton of raw eggs a day while bench-pressing Terrence Rambis and
a stack of crew members between takes.
Seriously though, we’re hearing that production had to install an
especially sturdy exercise bar on-set because Liam so often spent his down time
doing 100-pound weighted pull-ups.
You heard me. While I can
only do one pull-up of questionable authenticity, Liam can apparently do a set
of ten with two fifty-pound weights strapped to his midsection (yes,
this is an exercise that people do for non-torture reasons). So, yeah, all signs point toward Liam
Brody being a descendent of Hercules and Rambis agrees.
Said director, Rambis, “Liam’s unreal work ethic is part of why A
Soldier has become my proudest piece of work in a twenty plus-year
career. I have been living, eating
and breathing this film and I can confidently say that Liam has too.
He has mastered the type of impossible training that an actual airman
would have to complete to become pararescue, and that in itself is an
accomplishment to be proud of for life.
But in addition to that, I truly believe that Liam should win an Oscar
for his efforts in A Soldier — he transformed both his mind and body
completely. He gave 110% to this
film.”
A hundred and ten percent plus a good chunk of his own health and
personal safety, apparently. While
shooting, Liam broke his hand and dislocated a shoulder within the first week
and kept on truckin’, even through some nasty, stitch-requiring lacerations,
only stopping when a shattered elbow took him down for a few weeks. Even then, Liam reportedly got agitated
with doctors and insisted on continuing production, nearly getting his way
until new BFF Rambis stepped in to insist on rest and rehabilitation – after
all, he’ll be needing Liam in full health to take the starring role in the
highly anticipated action-thriller, The Legends (Meanwhile, you’re imagining
how hot Liam Brody probably is when he’s mad. Don’t worry, I was too).
Anyway, A Soldier is nearly finished shooting but the true good
news is that Liam’s back in the States for us to more accessibly ogle via
paparazzi shots, assuming his newly heightened beauty doesn’t break camera
lenses, because woof.
By the way, does this make Amanda Nathan, America’s Unofficial
Sweetheart, the Most Hated Woman Alive now because she gets to see Liam naked?
Probably not. The world’s
still pretty enamored with lil’ Miss Nathan, who will finally tell all and in
her first big magazine feature this month. According to sources, Fleur Magazine nabbed the official
interview with Amanda, who spent her Liam-less month of April preparing for
work at the ZINC offices in Midtown.
Seems that life is finally good and peaceful for Amanda after a winter
of madness early this year.
Which brings us to our last news item, filed under “Does Anybody Give
A Shit?”
Ian Marsh has yet to relapse, crash a party or ruin any lives in his
first two weeks out of rehab, which is a victory in itself. Interestingly enough, the industry
leper has actually won over a couple hearts since coming out of rehab
and publishing his candid rehab diary online, which surprisingly, is less about
himself and more about giving advice on how to avoid the humiliating path he
took thanks to addiction. And
while most of his fans are thirteen-year-old Tumblr addicts who can’t resist
his floppy boy band hair, Ian actually managed to intrigue a high-quality ally
in socialite wild child-turned-health and beauty guru, Harper Gunn. The two rehab grads have been spotted
together several times at Agno, Harper’s newly opened vegan eatery in Flatiron,
which, of course, is also booze-free.
Does this mean that Ian will be wasting your popcorn by not being a
total trainwreck this summer? Possibly, but have no fear.
For every rehabilitated screw-up in Hollywood, there are at least two
new careers beginning their nosedives.
It’s just the rule. So
here’s to a summer of good, dirty celebrity drama. May there be some deliciously juicy meltdowns for us to sip
sangria to. ;)

ok i know
casey mulreed is supposed to be invincible or whatever but is she really not
going to admit herself into rehab? kind of setting a shitty example by just
waltzing around like she can magically cure this on her own. pretty sure it’s rare that people can.
