 Tagline: In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.
- Andy Warhol, Pop Culture Icon
In the world of right-now, it seems as if literally everybody wants to be famous. And thanks to the global phenomenon of “reality” television, literally anyone can be.
Take self-aggrandizing host of the runaway American hit TV show entitled “American Dreamz,” Martin Tweed (Hugh Grant). Tweed's concept is a flashy reworking of the talent search formula: pit eager contestants against each other (talent sometimes notwithstanding) and televise their weekly battles to win judges' votes. In his all-out attempt to capture fickle television viewers and stay atop the network ratings' heap, Tweed has done anything and everything necessary to keep his show's popularity-and this season, he's just about to reach new heights.
The delicious new crop of aspiring “Dreamz” finalists includes such hopefuls as Sally (Mandy Moore), a Southern belle who's sugar and spice in front of the cameras and not-so-nice in real-life, and Omer, an incompetent would-be terrorist who's fond of Broadway show tunes.
