Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) is a Brit journalist who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame, and glamour. His alternative magazine, "The Post Modern Review," pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends. So when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York-based Sharps magazine, it's something of a shock. It seems Sharps editor Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges) is amused by Young's disruption of a post-BAFTA party with a pig posing as Babe. Thus begins Sidney's descent into success - his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Megan Fox) - and a relationship with colleague Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst), that will either make him or break him.
