Former Friends actress, Courtney Cox, intends to attempt a spoof of Britney Spears in her new TV show Dirt.

In the show, Cox plays the editor of a celebrity based magazine, and although Spears is not expected to appear in the episode, her story will be told.

A source told Star magazine: “Courteney can’t wait to give the Britney character a major smack-down on camera.

“Being a parent herself, Courteney is disheartened by the way Britney has treated her own kids.”
