Debmar-Mercury To Syndicate E!’s ‘True Hollywood Story’

Debmar-Mercury has acquired the premiere broadcast syndication rights to E! Entertainment Television's signature documentary series, True Hollywood Story, officials said Thursday.

For more than a decade, True Hollywood Story has followed the lives of Hollywood's hottest stars and, in 2009, the series will reach its 500th episode. Debmar-Mercury, a Lionsgate unit, will offer select library episodes of the show to TV stations as a one-hour daily strip to air as early as fall 2009.

Each episode features in-depth interviews, rare celebrity footage and behind-the-scenes scoops, giving viewers an exclusive look inside the lives of their favorite Hollywood stars. Ranging from JFK Jr., Dr. Phil and Lindsay Lohan to The Sopranos, Clueless and Friends, the series uncovers real-life celebrity tales of heartbreak, happiness and scandal from across the entertainment industry.
