Channel [V] Int. has been playing short clips of the 'Making Of Insatiable', and the following is some of that info. Thanks Tiara for sharing this:

* The video is about Darren's obsession with the actress in the movie (no word about any ghost or former lover or whatever)
* Darren has this strange obsession with mirrors...every two minutes he has to glance at one (or so he says LOL)
* How did Darren disappear in that shot with the interviewers & photographers? He just jumped away! They had to do it twice because the first time round you could see Darren moving
* They had catering for a 100 people (coffee, chips & dips, etc) and Darren isn't allowed to eat any of it LOL
* Darren didn't even recognize Leonie when he was filming the surroundings - he called her JoAnne and Leonie kinda got miffed LOL
* Darren was talking to Alex and he was saying how Alex won't allow any makeup artistes near him for the "Hold Me" vid...Alex then said that he won't let anyone smudge his pretty face!
* There was supposed to be a scene where Darren is looking all serious while the actress does a little "Show" for him by screaming "I love you Darren!" and almost doing a striptease...LOL they weren't too sure how much footage of that they were going to show!
* Darren got kinda confused when he watched the playback of him gazing into the TV set coz he realized that he was getting obsessed over Bea and thus was turning into his character in the vid
