Dirt (styled D?rt for logos) is an American television serial presented by the FX network. It premiered on January 2, 2007 and stars Courteney Cox Arquette as Lucy Spiller, the editor-in-chief of the first-of-it's-kind "Glossy tabloid" magazine DirtNow, which was previously two separate publications: Dirt! (a tabloid) and Now (a glossy magazine).
The show centers around the publication of the DirtNow magazine and the lives of Spiller and her long time friend Don Konkey, a paparazzo and functioning schizophrenic who is deeply loyal to her. Also included are the lives of some of the celebrities covered by the magazine, including Holt McLaren and Julia Mallory, a celebrity couple.
A 13 episode second season was announced on May 8, 2007. Only seven episodes were produced prior to the 2007 WGA strike shut down production, and no more will be produced for the season. The shortened second season will begin airing on March 2, 2008
List of Dirt characters
* Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox) - The workaholic editor of DirtNow magazine, the "glossy tabloid". She's a workaholic who wastes no time on boring stories or unverifiable gossip, instead obsessed with constantly breaking new news stories. She has little remorse about the lives she tangles with and often will destroy lives of celebrities if they refuse to cooperate with her. Out of the office, Lucy lives a lonely life with no boyfriend (until she begins secretly dating Holt McLaren), with strained relationship with her family, caused in part due to her unresolved issues regarding her father's suicide when she was 15. * Don Konkey (Ian Hart) - Lucy's long time friend and most trusted paparazzi. He's an exceptional photographer, one of the few who still shoots with film as opposed to digital equipment, and willing to go to great lengths (even cutting off a finger) to get his assigned story. He suffers from a manageable schizophrenia, though he's often reluctant to take his prescribed medication.
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.
