"VH1 News Presents: Hollywood Secrets Revealed-Love Scenes Exposed" For as long as there have been motion pictures, filmmakers have tried to capture the human experience of love, romance and especially sex. But while the sex may look hot and steamy on screen, it's not. For stars and directors, it's many tedious hours of choreographed, awkwardly staged encounters in front of dozens of crew members. "VH1 News Presents: Hollywood Secrets Revealed: Love Scenes Exposed" takes an in-depth look at the little tricks of the trade that make sex scenes look real. Along the way, we'll discover the truth about how naked the actors really get; how directors are afraid to direct actors during sex for fear of offending them; and which actors and actresses refuse to disrobe.

Wednesday, July 6 "Inside/Out: Lisa Marie"

Lisa Marie Presley's got something to say. But few seem to be listening. For the press, news of her second album is just another chance to prey on her past. And Lisa Marie's afraid her music will get lost in the mix. Can she rise above the dirty laundry, or will she be buried by it? Step into the shoes of the ultimate tabloid baby and witness the daughter of the King fight to make her voice heard.

Thursday, July 7 "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic" Mega-Marathon

http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/brittneykevinchaotic/series.jhtml (Begins at 5:30 p.m.)

Thursday, July 7 'cont. "Kept #107"

It's a day at the horse races when the six kept men learn how to be proper sporting gentlemen and the fine art of the wager. But it is not enough for Jerry Hall's kept man to stay on the sidelines when the men saddle up and learn to play polo. In a twist, two men are eliminated leaving the final four to begin the home stretch.

(Premieres at 9:00 p.m.) http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/kept/series.jhtml

"Strip Search #107"

In this episode, the remaining guys must perform in front of a female audience for the first time. The lucky bachelorettes enjoy the show, but the guys don't know that Billy is watching-and their performance will help him make several tough decisions. But that's not the end of the surprises from Billy-he sends the guys for makeovers, subjects them to harsh critique from a group of women, and awards the first contract for the final troupe. (Premieres at 10:00 p.m.)
