In order to save her job she decides to go undercover and write a story about the very secretive Gary Foster, a movie star who’s known for being engaged 7 times, but never married. She uses her wits and charm to try to get Gary to fall for her to prove that he’ll always be a playboy and never settle down. They end up falling in love which results in a lot of heart break when the truth finally comes out. Julie recognizes what she’s doing to others by writing her fabricated tabloid stories and what it’s like, being the subject of magazine gossip.
