Season 1 • Episode 2
LatestAn enterprising young woman navigates the professional waters of Beverly Hills in order to land the hottest producer in town, fully unaware that she is about to get in way over her head.
Beautiful, fashionable and fun, Clarissa Alpert is a shallow socialite whose speed dial is a veritable Rolodex of Hollywood power players. Staring her 32nd birthday directly in the eyes, though she will admit only to being 28, the spoiled daddy's girl is in a panic because she is still single. Clarissa, though, always gets what she wants even if he's Aaron Mason, the hottest new producer in town. With the help of her family and friends, Clarissa sets into motion an elaborate plan to lasso the dashing filmmaker who will, she hopes, be the man to put a ring on her finger.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was originally a novel by Gigi Levangie Grazer, who was married to super-producer Brian Grazer—sparking rumors it was thinly veiled industry dish.
The 2009 timing is brutal: Sex and the City had just ended, and this tried to capture that magic for the Real Housewives generation. It didn't.
