With the second series currently running in the UK, I’ve just found out that Dirt has been cancelled.

I actually tried watching a couple of episodes and really couldn’t get into the show at all. Part of it was Courtney Cox – I just can’t warm to her as an actress. The other part was the celebrity magazine underworld – the lengths they’d go to to get a story – can you imagine if Heat magazine was run this way? With Dirt, I did come away feeling slightly dirty.

Returning for a second series, Courtney Cox stars as Lucy Spiller, ruthless editor of DirtNow magazine, who together with troubled paparazzo Don Konkey (Ian Hart), exposes the truth behind the façade of show-business image making, and reveals the lives of those determined to do so, despite often tragic results. The series’ guest stars include Rosanna Arquette, Julian Acosta, Laura Allen, Tom Arnold, Ryan Eggold, Rick Fox, Ashley Johnson, Sharon Lawrence, Will McCormack, Jeffrey Nordling and Kevin Wheatley.

Former Friends star, Courtney Cox, has revealed that some familiar faces will rear their head in series two of the hit drama.

“We usually do a hybrid of celebrities and then add to the story, like maybe what happened to cause this to happen to them, or sum it up in a different way just for fun,” Courteney, who is also the executive producer of the show, explained to the New York Daily News.

“In almost every episode, you’ll see something that you will recognise.” Read more & comment »

The second series of Courtney Cox’s Drama, Dirt has been cut short due to the current US writers strike.

US TV network FX have revealed that only seven of the series thirteen episodes had been written before the writers strike commenced, but it plans to air all seven this March, regardless.

I Know What You Did Last Summer star, David Arquette is said to have issued an ultimatum to his wife Courtney Cox, telling her to choose between him and her best friend Jennifer Aniston.

A source is quoted by TransWorldNews as saying: “Somewhat understandably, David’s now saying it’s him or Jennifer. Read more & comment »

Courtney Cox has revealed that she would love her ‘Friends’ to make an appearance on her new TV show, Dirt.

Jennifer Aniston, who starred in Friends along with Cox, appeared on Dirt last year. Cox recently remarked:

Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow are welcome to appear on the show too.

“If it was the right point, I’d love to have any of them on the show. I don’t know how they would feel about it so I’d have to ask as things came up.”

The offer was of course extended to Courtney’s best pal Jennifer Aniston also: Read more & comment »

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.”

Ashley Johnson, of Fast Food Nation and Columbus Day has been offered a role in the FX series Dirt. According to Variety, she will be playing a recurring character on the drama.

Johnson will be featured as a substance-abusing pop star. She is set for a six-episode arc on Courtney Cox’s first TV show since Friends.

Ashley will start work on Dirt early next year.

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!

Courtney Cox has revealed that she can easily relate to her ‘bad’ character, Lucy, in her new show, Dirt.

Courteney said: “I love that she is outrageous. You want her to be bad.

“Her justification is that she needs to know the truth – she wants to get answers. I can relate to that. I like the truth too – my favourite word is integrity. It’s so important to me. I think that’s how I relate to Lucy.”

Jennifer Aniston will make a guest appearance on best friend’s Courtney Cox’s new drama, Dirt.

The show which is currently being aired on Five Us received fabulous ratings for its launch this week, and brought in the channel’s best ever ratings.

The drama, stars Courtney Cox as the editor-in-chief of a tabloid magazine alongside Ian Hart as a photographic journalist with manageable schizophrenia.

Jennifer will pop up during the series finale, and judging by the above clip, it is obvious that the pair haven’t lost their on screen chemistry.
