Secret Diary of a Call Girl will premiere on Showtime this summer, based on the anonymous British memoir with the same name, authored by "Belle du Jour." Not to be outdone, HBO and Sex and the City's Darren Star plans to shoot a pilot for former working girl Tracy Quan's novel, Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl. Everybody gets paid! [Time]

I feel bad for CCG.
I'm looking forward to this summer's surefire comedic blockbuster, Penny Booker: High-Class Hooker, a spinoff from Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.
Fuck that! Where is CollegeCallGirl? Honey, you'd mop the floor with these shit-shows!!!
@Conbon: Yeah, except that she'll get like a real movie deal someday because she's the best one of them all and her writing is better than these dorkwads and she's probably much prettier, too, and also makes out with me when I'm drunk, and is smarter and cooler and better at commenting. Phew.
Which is the Brooke Shields one?
I was in the process of trying to sell a TV show based on my blog when HBO bought the DMC one. Everybody wins but collegecallgirl. :(
"The Best Little Whorehouse in Georgetown"
I hope Starr hires a talented writing team for his show because like Bushnell, Quan's book is some of the poorest writing I've ever had the misfortune to read. She likes to! end! every sentence! with multiple excla!mation!!! points!!!!!!
@collegecallgirl: It's okay. Have you tried Cinemax?
Where's my tag? Can't I be in charge at least?
@collegecallgirl: It's ok, I know how you feel. My blog went unnoticed during the whole rash of TV shows with winsome but flawed pedophiles.
@collegecallgirl: Aw shit. Your time is gonna come.
Is this Secret Diary the one with Billie Piper? If so, we already have it in Canada, and it's actually not bad. Fairly steamy, actually!
@collegecallgirl: Yours would sure be awesome, though. I'd love to see some of your more sensational blog entries come to life on the TV. Darren Star is a fool!
@fiveinchtaint: When, taint? When is it this whore's time to shine?!
Has anything with the words "secret diary" in the title ever been successful?
Spitzergate begat this. Nice one, gov'ner.
And at risk of getting the Gawker hook, I can't help but connecting the current "Prostitution: Isn't It Sexy, Sexy Fun?!" attitude with today's thread about the 18-year-old who died getting her boobs blimped. I mean, good christ, ladies, are we STILL obsessed with making men's peenies hard? Haven't we got something better to do?
It's all about being role models.
@ginger rant: Both these shows went into development long before Spitzergate. And, sadly, I don't have anything better to do. Maybe if somebody would invite me to a party or something?
@Hez: Yep, it's the one with Billie Piper. Soon to be seen kicking Dalek ass! But taking it up the ass in the meantime.
@collegecallgirl: Your time will come.
Writing like yours deserves a Cock-Pulitzer. Which, if it doesn't exist, should do.
@ginger rant: You damn well better not.
@Cochise: The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer.
@ginger rant: Spitzergate did NOT beget this. As I just said, this show has been on in Canada for several months now. And I remember CCG alluding to her secret meetings months ago, too.
@SeeingI: I was about to say that Billie left Dr. Who yonks ago, but I see she is returning for a few episodes later this year, so you are indeed correct. She looks hella hot in the Secret Diary - I was never a big fan before, but she's growing on me.
@HiredGoons: I actually bought a copy of that. And The Diane Tapes... remember those? Had those, too. Ah, the disposable incomes of youth.
Is one of these the new JA outlet I was reading about?
@Hez: All my disposable income went to LSD.
@HiredGoons: As long as it didn't go to the LDS.
@Hez: I am not being literal here, baby. I am saying the CURRENT CLIMATE OF INTEREST in projects like these is at least in part begat by purient interest in Spitzergate. And there are two, count 'em, TWO shows discussed above, the concept of one having apparently just been ejected from Darren Star's butt; might Spitzergate have provided the Milk of Magnesia? Was the Showtime show always scheduled for your (and I do mean "your"; I won't be watching) summer viewing pleasure?
Hookers at the Point officially destroyed any chance I had of enjoying future hooker documentaries.
@ginger rant: Ejected From Darren Star's Butt is the actual name of his production company, isn't it? It would explain a lot.
@ginger rant: You're a bit of a fuckface, aren't you?
@collegecallgirl: Exqueeze me?
@Hez: Ha! Indeedly.
@ginger rant: I don't think there has ever been a climate where people were not interested in beautiful women, sex and money.
Hell, The Happy Hooker came out decades ago!
