Features: DVD
Enter the secret and salacious world of show business through the back door. Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox) makes the headlines as the woman Hollywood loves to hate in the darkly comedic drama Dirt. As editor-in-chief of Tinseltown's most influential magazines, Spiller can make or break the stars. Her obsession with the seamy side of the entertainment industry gives her power over every celebrity in the biz, but leaves her helpless against her own demons. It's "delirious, dizzy, decadent and altogether delicious," raves The Miami Herald. Dig deep with Dirt: The Complete First Season. Experience every sumptuous episode, plus exciting bonus features you can't see anywhere else, in this 4-disc box set. It's tempting television at its best.
Editor's Note
Courteney Cox's previous TV character, the neurotic Monica on FRIENDS, would be appalled by the name alone of this sexy series, to say nothing of its sizzling storylines. Like its channel mate NIP/TUCK, DIRT is a stylish show that bounces between black comedy and drama with ease. Cox stars as Lucy Spiller, the editor-in-chief at a gossip rag aptly named Dirt. With knowledge of celebrities' dark secrets, she wields power over the Hollywood elite. Joined by celeb photographer Don Konkey (Ian Hart, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCEROR'S STONE), Lucy tries to find the facts on L.A.'s biggest stars, including sex tapes and drugs. But the A-listers aren't the only ones with something to hide, as her own past shows up to haunt her. DIRT features gossip-worthy stars, including Timothy Bottoms, Carly Pope, Shannyn Sossamon, Rick Fox, and Jeffrey Nordling. Fans of Cox's last TV gig will be pleased by a guest appearance from her former costar Jennifer Aniston.

3 stars out of 5 -- "Certainly there are some great stories here, pulled straight from the pages of the press..." 04/01/2008 p.94Variety 5 of 10
FX's enviable reputation with originals is stained by "Dirt," a Hollywood-centric series about tabloid gossip that yearns to be "Entourage" with edge and settles for being a trashy version of "Just Shoot Me." Capturing journalism on screen is always a dicey proposition, and despite Courteney Cox's marquee value as star-exec producer -- the fourth "Friends" alum to mount a TV return -- the show falls thuddingly flat, feeling tired, gratuitous in its dirty doings and a trifle narcissistic, what with Cox and husband David Arquette's involvement loosely echoing the showbiz couple prominently featured in the serialized story...In this Paris and Nicole age, the show's subject matter appears timely from afar, but much like the glitzy premiere for a bad movie, the show itself is all flash and no substance -- too mundane to even qualify as a guilty pleasure. Reading a little trash now and then can be fun, but "Dirt" isn't merely trashy; it's just plain disposable. - Brian Lowry
