Stardom (2000)

Released October 27th in the US.
Filmed in Canada ,
The story : Tina is a Canadian girl who lives with her mother and sister , has a famous Hockey-player father who she never sees and plays hockey like it's the only thing in life worth living for.
Somehow , Tina gets a modeling gig. And that gig gives Tina instant model stardom.
Tina travels the world here and there , meeting many who think they already know her. Doing TV interviews and news interviews in which the interviewer gives Tina no time to talk for herself.
Tina is involved with a famous photographer. Then she goes on to have an affair with an restauranteur. She leaves him for yet another man in the public spotlight but none of the relationships prove anymore than abusive.
Yea , a bit boring for my taste. Not as funny as I think I should have found this. If there is intent for this to be more than I got from this , I didn't get it. Oh well.
