No longer shall publicists schmooze thanklessly behind the scenes: With flacks both fictional (John Stamos on ABC's Jake in Progress) and real (Lizzie Grubman on MTV's PoweR Girls) in their own shows, they're as big a story as their clients. But who gives the PR biz the better spin? Let's just say we'd rather be the Three Gaymigos than Lindsay Lohan.
