I'd like to say that I have some juicy stories about a weeklong bender in Vegas to regale you all, but frankly people, I'm broke. And I'm not Hunter S. Thompson, nor do I have access to his drug arsenal. I did, however, lose a wager recently when I bet our staff writer, Jake Coburn, that Roy Orbison was blind. Apparently, he just had poor eyesight and wore those sunglasses purely for vanity. Vanity! I was convinced he was the white Ray Charles. I lost 20 bucks, and that is exactly why I don't gamble — 'cause I lose my shirt every time and the money always goes to evil conglomerates or in this case, Jake Coburn (author of Prep, LoveSick, and the forthcoming Jake 360). Same difference, really. Luckily for you, there will be no betting on Roy Orbison in this week's episode, just an old-fashioned high-stakes poker game. With billionaires.In this week's installment, "The Game," Tripp and Simon Elder go head to head in a no-holds-barred battle of wills. These billionaires aren't play...

A birthday is the most depressing day of the year… or at least it is for me. Usually mine is spent drinking myself into a stupor and then crawling into a ball and crying, wondering where my youth went. I'm sure I would be singing a different tune if on my birthday I inherited 25 million dollars. While the drinking and crying would remain the same, the tears would be of joy, not despair. If I inherited that much money, I would quit my job and move to Hawaii where I would body-surf and work on my rock opera, "Your Love Is a Bidet." Alas, since I won't be inheriting anything anytime soon (except maybe my father's backne) I guess I'll keep my job and continue on as your faithful blogger. I hope you're all happy.In this week's episode, "The Bridge," Juliet and Jeremy turn 25, and stand to inherit 25 million big ones each — but first they'll celebrate by spending a million dollars on their yearly bash. The party-planning comes to a screeching halt when Juliet refuses to include...

A lot of comments were left last week asking one question, and it wasn't, "Why did Simon Elder buy the sex tape?" or "Is Juliet really a virgin?" or even "Who murdered Dutch George?" Evidently, what readers of this blog want to know is: What is the Italian Banker and how can I do it? Dorjean left three comments asking for help on the matter — she went to two search engines to try to find out how to perform the Italian Banker. While I don't know all the details, I do know that it involves a roll of lira. It's difficult to find out more than that because the Secret Society of Italian Bankers have kept this position secret for generations. But if you do find out, feel free to post a comment and share your discoveries with the rest of us.Now let's get to this week's episode. Unfortunately, there are no unique sexual positions in this one, but we do get to finally see the oh-so-sexy Blair Underwood. That's right, Simon Elder finally makes an appearance on the show. Also in this epi...

Hello all, and welcome to the next installment of the blog. Or should I say, welcome to the next installment of the Dirty Sexy Blog? That's right, everything that coincides with this show has now been deemed Dirty Sexy this and Dirty Sexy that, so I feel obligated to follow suit. All departments on the production team have jumped on board and adopted the Dirty Sexy moniker — Dirty Sexy Casting, Dirty Sexy Craft Service, Dirty Sexy Grips.... It's a fact. Even this blog is dirty and sexy — I'm not sure why, but it is. Yet nothing — and I mean nothing — in life is Dirtier and Sexier than a sex tape.Yes, that was a not-too-smooth transition to tell you this week's episode [airing Wednesday at 10 pm/ET, on ABC] is about a sex tape. And no, I can't tell you who's in it. But I can tell you that the name of the episode is "The Italian Banker" — if that gives you any clues. Not only is there a sex tape in this episode, but there are so many other Dirty Sexy plot...

First, a few words from Dirty Sexy Money creator/executive producer Craig Wright:"Hi.Of all the myths about television, the biggest myth is that shows are created by individuals. Certainly ideas are born, sometimes, in a single brain. But in television, those ideas are almost immediately retooled in conversation with producers, studio and network executives, and, perhaps most fruitfully, actors, into new creations. By the time the show gets on the air, what you see is the product of literally thousands of people — including people just like you who watched the pilot in a shopping mall or test studio and registered an opinion. This is a good thing.I like this system because, like theater, another highly collaborative art form, it mimics so closely the way reality as we experience it is generated: a small plan, an immense multiplicity of voices, a generous helping of chaos — and then slowly but surely a new thing comes into being — something no single participant ever c...
