Novinar Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) pracuje v Londyne pre nieprilis uspesny bulvarny platok, ktory si striela z celebrit tuziacich po slave vo svetle snobskych vecierkov. Na jednej strane je hrdy na svoj satiricky nadhlad a odstup od prostredia, o ktorom pise, na strane druhej ho vsak povrchny svet slavy a krasnych ludi laka. Sidney dostava prekvapivu pracovnu ponuku od sefredaktora prestizneho newyorskeho casopisu Sharps a pohlave sa vrha do viru newyorskych vecierkov. Rychlo vsak zisti, ze zdaleka nie vsetko je take, ako si predstavoval. Je sklamany upatou atmosferou a stava sa z neho rebel. Neochotu zaradit sa do davu a sekat dobrotu vsak necakane narusi stretnutie s povabnou hereckou Sophiou, ktora mu uplne popletie hlavu… Nametom pre film bola kniha Tobyho Younga z roku 2001, v ktorej zachytil vlastne zazitky, ked koncom 90. rokov odisiel z Londyna pracovat do prestizneho casopisu Vanity Fair v New Yorku a ani nie po dvoch rokoch bol odtial vyhodeny.

In "Diana: The Mourning After" Christopher Hitchens sets out to examine the bogusness of "a nation's grief", tries to uncover the few voices of sanity that cut against the grain of contrived hysteria. His findings suggested that the collective hordes of emotive Dianaphiles sobbing in the streets were not only encouraged but emulated by the media. In the aftermath of Diana's death a three-line whip was enforced on newspapers and on TV, selling the sainthood line wholesale. The suspicion was that journalists, like the public, greeted the death as a chance to wax emotional in print, as a change from the customary knowing cynicism, to wheel out all those portentous phrases they'd been saving up for the big occasion. Sadly, they just seemed to be showboating; the eulogies, laments and tear-soaked platitudes ringing risibly hollow.
