Title of comic novel about 2 TV producers and prima donna creating a new show?

I can't remember the title or author, but I read a very funny novel, probably more than 10 years ago. Two guys create a new television show and their star turns out to be a prima donna. The star has her hand cut off near the end.

The books-on tape version it was read by George Guidall.

The author also wrote for the Maude show on Television.

Any help with the title or author would be appreciated. Thanks.

    "Artistic Differences" by Charlie Hauck, narrated by George Guidall,Christina Moore.

    "Flip humor and pitch-perfect dialogue power TV writer-producer Hauck's breezy first novel, an insider's look at Hollywood that reads like the godawful truth. Narrated by a fictional TV writer-producer named Jimmy Hoy, this jaded tale follows the star-making process from casting to filming. Hoy and his partner, Neil Stein, create a comedy series for the ``CBN'' network and recruit blond, narcissistic Geneva Holloway to be its star. Geneva proceeds to malign Hoy and Stein, indirectly cause a hairdresser's suicide and throw hissy fits on the set when she fails to get her way."
