Plot
The main lead character in the "Little Black Book" is Stacy Holt (played by Brittany Murphy), an associate producer for a talk television show.

It included details about his ex-girlfriends, leading her to initiate contact with three of them: an obsessive former sweetheart, Lulu Fritz (played by Josie Maran); a woman who dreamed of becoming a supermodel, Joyce (played by Julianne Nicholson); and a gynecologist, Dr. Rachel Keyes (played by Rashida Jones). Stacy befriends these women under incorrect pretenses, only attempting to understand their relationships with Derek much better.
