Stacy meets some of them: A supermodel named Lulu Fritz ( Josie Maran), a chef named Joyce ( Julianne Nicholson), a gynecologist named Dr. She is meanwhile dating the hunky Derek ( Ron Livingston), a sports agent who's maybe 10 years older and has dated a lot of women. Young Stacy suggests a show on "little black books" - in particular, the Palm Pilot, Trio or Blackberry of the person you're dating, which may contain evidence that you're being cheated on. Her ratings are tanking, and the show is shamelessly seeking sensationalism. "Kippie Kann" is on the brink of being canceled.

Stacy's mentor on the show is a producer named Barb ( Holly Hunter), who could be a more experienced, more cynical version of the TV news producer Hunter played in "Broadcast News." Stacy begins a little more humbly, in cable TV, and works her way up to the "Kippie Kann Show," a daytime talk strip whose hostess, played by Kathy Bates, is a wannabe Jerry Springer/Jenny Jones. Murphy plays Stacy Holt, who worships above all living beings Diane Sawyer, and dreams not of becoming Diane Sawyer, but simply of becoming her assistant, to serve this great woman with the devotion she deserves. She lures us into the picture on false pretenses she's cute and chirpy in the early scenes, we assume this is going to be a routine career-girl comedy, and we're surprised when it moves deeper into its subject until finally it's a satirical comedy about television that invades some of the same territory as " Network" or " Broadcast News."
In "Little Black Book," Murphy has the necessary qualities to function as a sort of decoy.
