ain't it fun? // phan

Daniel Howell is a famous journalist who's gained a name for himself in the media - he's known for helping out with relationships and advice in the celebrity world, has his own radio talk show (which he hosts alongside his best friends, P.J and Chris) and not to mention the release of his first book - which just happens to coincide with his wedding day to Alyssa Steele, a famous diva of an actress who nobody expected to date, let alone marry, a nobody journalist like Dan.

Much to Dan - and everyone else's - dismay, Alyssa is an absolute flake and runs the morning they're announcing the wedding date. With too much publicity on the line, Dan's publicist does the unthinkable - she arranges an entirely new relationship in a matter of days.. with none other than the infamous Phil Lester.

Phil Lester, on the other hand, is the callous, unfiltered, snappish frontman of the massive band Retro Wreckage - an indie-pop band filtering out hit after hit after hit. Infamous for his extreme sexuality onstage, unhinged temper and fiery attitude, it's common knowledge that the vocalist has never settled down, let alone even considered marriage in his entire lifetime.

To Dan's disgust, he soon discovers that he's expected to fake-marry Phil in order to help boost Phil's image (and CD sales) and to cover up his own messy almost-marriage - since who would want relationship advice from a man who can't even keep his own marriage from coming together in the first place, let alone falling apart? Nobody - that's who.

Three months. That's all they have to keep up this ruse and make everyone believe that uptight, never-misses-an-opportunity, intelligent Dan Howell would /ever/ date an irresponsible, wild party animal of a slacker like Phil Lester. Between learning each other and playing up their relationship to the camera, they start to develop actual feelings for each other. Turns out, things aren't quite as fun as they seem..
