Within days of the arrival of the crew -- including the director (Macy), screenwriter (Hoffman), producer (David Paymer), and stars (Baldwin and Parker) -- all showbiz hell breaks loose: Parker's starlet refuses to complete her contractually obligated topless scene, and Baldwin's leading man hits on a teen townie (Julia Stiles). ''Pretty much everyone is, on some level, despicable,'' says Macy, ''but the despicable aspects of all the characters are so across the board that you kind of have affection for everyone.'' Yep, sounds like Hollywood. GOOD SIGN That cast! That screenwriter! That cast! THEN AGAIN There's always that danger of being too inside.
