Showbiz sappiness (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schmaltz

(Other definitions for schmaltz that I've seen before include "mawkishness" , "mush" , "Mushiness" , "Jewish word meaning sugary sentimentality - has just one vowel" , "Display of emotions" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
