Oh, the dirty world of celebrity gossip! Or should that be drrty world?

I’ll confess to having a cursory look at tonight’s episode of Dirt, out of curiosity more than anything else. I was blogging at the same time, so I wasn’t paying full attention, but the gist of the storyline was as follows:

• Courtney Cox’s character heads up this sleazy celeb magazine, looking for the scoop on various celebrities.
• Tonight’s celebrity scoop was a pregnant celebrity who they discovered wasn’t actually pregnant – the couple were using a surrogate to prevent nasty stretch marks and stuff like that.
• Cox’s character seemed to be masturbating in just about every other scene, for whatever reason. In between suffocating some needy rock star between her thighs. Wonder what was he doing down there anyway
• She ropes in some photographer with severe mental problems who’s hallucinating a relationship with a dead celebrity and showing pictures of her to a bizarre cat shrine. I know somebody else like that….

I have to say, from the parts I saw, Cox’s character was truly horrible. Dirt is the operative word, because watching some of her techniques really made me feel dirty. You’ve got to wonder how much this mirrors the real life gossip columnists. It certainly blows away the image that the Heat magazine staffers try to present!

Anyway peeps, let me know if I missed anything in my short-but-sweet rundown of tonight’s episode!
