Lewinsky: I don't think so. I think in order for someone to want to buy your silence, they'd have to be worried you're not going to be silent, and I didn't feel like I had ever done anything or given anybody any reason to think I was going to change how I had been for the past two years...
Maybe the problem is that Americans would like less of Monica, not more. When the presidency was in crisis, when Kenneth Starr seemed in danger of undoing the election and the Clinton marriage, there was at least a reason for us to pay attention to Monica.

Though the ideas are great here (interview Quiet Riot at a concert for nudists), the execution isn't nearly as sharp as it is on Rock of Ages. Still...
