From TMZ, to Perez Hilton, to \nEntertaiment Tonight, everyone in Hollywood was talking about McCarty. On \ntoday's episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast, McCarty reveals all about \nher controversial career move to Luke and Jamey.

McCarty talks with DC \nabout what led to her embarking on such an uncharted career path. She tells how \nshe pitched the idea for Flawless, and served as a co-writer on the project. \nMcCarty explains why she strove to make Flawless the type of adult film that \nappeals to women, as well as men. She admits to being nervous about how her new \nventure will be perceived. Will her Passions fans be receptive to Flawless? Did \nthe current state of the U.S. economy and lack of roles for actors facing a \nstreamlined pilot season and a potential SAG Strike play a factor in her \ndecision to do porn? Most importantly, what would Passions' Edna (Kathleen \nNoone) have to say?
