Scar Tissue, the upcoming HBO show about Anthony Kiedis' early years in LA, will reportedly not delve into all the intercourse with very young girls the Red Hot Chili Peppers front man wrote about in his 2004 autobiography, also called Scar Tissue. According to the New York Post, in his book, Kiedis shares sexual escapades that include bedding both a 15-year-old Ione Skye (he was 23) and a 14-year-old who liked to dress up as Marilyn Monroe, possibly while on heroin.

Says an HBO exec:

We did not buy the rights to his book, and we are not dramatizing the book. This project is focused on Anthony's life as an adolescent. The title, now tentatively called 'Scar Tissue,' does not refer to the book, but to the song.

See, they're not referring to the book at all, they're just referring to the song from which the book took its name and dramatizing a few stories out of the book. Way different, YOU HATERS!

IN SUMMATION: HEROIN, HEROIN, HEROIN…BAND • "Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis' 2004 autobiography, 'Scar Tissue', is set to be adapted for a new TV show on US network HBO. The show … is set to be an offbeat comedy, reports the Guardian. It will focus on the singer's early life in Los Angeles, where he lived with his father, a drug dealer to musicians in the area, plus beyond into the LA rock scene."

Kanye West, with his clothing line and suspiciously-active blog and new Comedy Central show, is obviously trying to expand his reach in the entertainment and business world. But one of his ventures has hit a road block. West recently shot a pilot for a new scripted-but-improvised comedy show on HBO with Larry Charles, the producer behind Curb Your Enthusiasm, Borat, and Bill Maher's upcoming Religulous. We might not ever see it.

SEX PLOTS COME TO THE FOREFRONT OF CULTURE "In the life-imitates-art department, there's no better example than David Duchovny, a real sex addict - he recently checked into rehab for sex addiction - who plays one in the Showtime series 'Californication.' … Yet Duchovny's show is not the only place where once underground practices are moving into the mainstream. Opening Friday is 'Choke,' … starring Sam Rockwell as a sex addict; George Clooney plays one for laughs in the recent 'Burn After Reading.' Writer-director Kevin Smith's 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno,' opening Oct. 31, tells of platonic friends … who raise money by starring in their own sex film. … Coming soon to the WE network are 'Secret Lives of Women: Sex Addicts' … and a new reality series, 'Sex Change Hospital.' CBS recently broadcast 'Swingtown,' a summer replacement series about swinging '70s couples. And really pushing the envelope is Palahniuk's latest novel, 'Snuff,' about an aging porn star determined to have sex with 600 men in a single day."

DO. NOT. WANT. "Given the enormous box office success of 'Sex and the City,' talk of a sequel is not surprising. And on Thursday HBO confirmed that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema are already at work on No. 2. 'There is enormous interest' by Warner Bros., Michael Lombardo, president of the HBO programming group, told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles. 'And I think, in fact, they’re trying, with our help, to put that together now. When that happens, how long between, can’t say. But there’s absolutely interest.'"

The funny thing about people who get mad if you make fun of the Sex and the City women is that the Sex and the City women hate each other more than any cultural critic out there. It's true! We've read about them fighting about clothes and screen time and favoritism and blah, blah, blah. And that's when they were all successful for the same thing. Imagine the backbiting that's happening now that Samantha's getting her OWN HBO show.

[Kim] Cattrall is set to star in and executive produce an adaptation of the British comedy series "Sensitive Skin," which is being written and exec produced by Emmy-winning "The Sopranos" scribes Mitchell Burgess and Robin Green.

The project, in development at the pay cable network with a significant penalty attached to it, centers on a middle-aged wife and mother (Cattrall) in New York who rediscovers her sexuality and begins to question her place in the world and the choices she has made in life.

Game, set, match: Cattrall.

TV EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS "HBO may soon be making its way to the iTunes Store with its popular TV content, a deal that could make a splash in more ways than one. The agreement could lure the network's exclusive content, such as Entourage, The Wire, and John Adams outside of HBO's own walled garden—and may also indicate that Apple is willing to make exceptions to its rigid, uniform pricing structure for the iTunes Store."
