Hollywood Headlines Mysteries

Tina Bender is the gossip columnist at the infamous L.A. Informer tabloid. She knows everything about everyone who's anyone. And she's not afraid to print it. That is, until she receives a threatening note, promising, "If you don't stop writing about me, you're dead." Suddenly finding out who's who in Hollywood has become a dangerous game of cat and mouse—one that Tina can't afford to lose!

Now not only is Tina being benched by her managing editor (Felix Dunn from the High Heels Mysteries) and saddled with a hot bodyguard crimping her style, but she's also fighting a bubbly blonde newbie reporter for her own story! Add in a crew of eclectic tabloid reporters, an adventurous octogenarian aunt, one hilariously hapless trip to the "happiest place on earth," and an online romance heating up her life, and Tina has her work cut out for her uncovering which tabloid darling wants her cancelled for good. Is it the spoiled tween TV show starlet with secret, Pippi Mississippi? The raging rock star in rehab with a temper? Or the movie producer on trial for inappropriate advances? All Tina knows is that when the threats turn into an actual dead body, the clock is ticking to find out which juicy piece of Hollywood gossip is worth killing over...before she becomes its next victim!

Cameron Dakota, photographer and paparazza for the L.A. Informer tabloid, thinks her relationship with movie star Trace Brody is her very own Hollywood happily-ever-after. That is until Trace proposes that the couple go on the reality TV show, Celebrity Relationship Rehab. While Trace assures her that it's just for publicity, and all the arguments are faked, Cam has her reservations. Reservations that prove to be well-founded when the host of the reality show winds up dead, and Cam suddenly finds herself in the middle of a real-life crime drama!

Cam knows the police are on the wrong trail, and when the producers make the decision to keep filming despite the murder, it's up to her to ferret out the killer in their midst.

Trapped in a house full of over-the-top suspects, forced into doing ridiculously hilarious relationship-saving drills, and with her every move watched by dozens of hidden cameras, Cam works to catch the story of her career and a cold blooded killer...before she finds herself canceled permanently!
