Instant Star

Jude Harrison's dream of fame came true overnight. She stepped on to a TV music competition, sang her songs, and won. Suddenly, she's an instant star. Now her friends don't know how to act around her anymore. Her sister goes crazy jealous. Her record label demands a hit, or else. Getting famous was the easy part. Jude's finding out that fame is only the beginning.

Jude loses a magazine cover to Eden, so G-Major sends her to Darius's party to schmooze with the industry. Jude learns to play the game, but not before Sadie takes a dive for her sister—and takes Eden down with her.

Jude's nightmares come true when G-Major arranges for her to debut her new single at her high school. Half the school plans a walk-out, and Jude needs Jamie's support more than ever. Too bad he thinks her new song is corporate crap.

When Jude gets some very negative reactions to her new song, Tommy is so disappointed in himself that he threatens to quit. Desperate to keep her producer in the picture, Jude hatches the perfect plan: she insists that she and Tommy need to "get away" to her parent's country house, all alone with nothing but the two of them, a guitar and... Sadie?

Jude's barely in, and she's already on the way out. G Major's looking at the new hotness: 17-year-old hip-hop sensation Shay. Jude's about to be pushed aside. She's about to lose Tommy. Not if she can help it.

Jude and Shay are set to shoot the video for their new duet. But it's all about two things that Jude's not at all about: dancing and steaming up the screen with Shay. She might be able to fake the dancing, but how can she fake a fiery onscreen kiss with the guy who just broke her heart off-camera?
