Dirty Love is a 2005 comedy film, written by and starring Jenny McCarthy and directed by John Mallory Asher. At the time of filming the couple were married but have since filed for divorce. The film heavily plays off of McCarthy's reputation for scatological comedy, and features scenes such as the one in which her character swallows in a large pool of her own menstrual blood. It was neither critically nor commercially successful.

[edit] Plot
Rebecca (McCarthy), a struggling photographer, finds her model boyfriend Richard (Victor Webster) in bed with another woman. He also destroys all of her camera equipment. She is distressed by this and falls apart, alternating between wishing to get revenge on him, make him jealous, or just abandon hope of love and become sexually promiscuous.
Her best friends, Michelle (Electra), a wigger body waxer, and Carrie (Kam Heskin), an airheaded actress, try to set her up on dates. These include one with a freakish magician (Guillermo Diaz) and a man who slips her acid and has a fetish for fish. She attempts to make Richard jealous by taking a director (who suspiciously resembles Woody Allen) to a runway show; he ends up vomiting on her breasts in front of everyone.
Ultimately Rebecca realizes she should focus her energy on being with someone who truly loves her, and that turns out to be John (Eddie Kaye Thomas), her nerdy but caring best male friend who has been supportive of her through the entire ordeal. The film features Sum 41 as a guest artist, in the movie they perform the main song of the soundtrack, No Reason. Deryck Whibley and Steve Jocz played supporting roles. Also there is a cameo by Kathy Griffin as a fortune teller.
