Tabloid drama is ‘Dirt’ poor on FX

DIRT. Tonight at 10, FX.

In tonight’s new FX drama series “Dirt,” Courteney Cox stars as the ruthless editor-in-chief of a supermarket tabloid. As both the leading lady and one of the show’s executive producers, Cox succeeds in returning to TV in a part that is the polar opposite of her likable Monica on the hit NBC sitcom “Friends.”

It’s one of the only successes the show can boast. Based on the first three episodes provided for preview, “Dirt” is a rare misfire from the drama-development folks at FX. It’s a show where neither the world being created nor the characters populating it are remotely convincing - or interesting.

The series premieres tonight at 10 with a striking image as Lucy Spiller (Cox), editor of Dirt magazine and its more upscale sister publication Now, attends a Hollywood party in a flowing, deep red gown. Cox wears an even more exaggeratedly flowing red gown in the credits, lording it over all of Hollywood like a glamorous monster threatening the entire twinkling territory.

That analogy isn’t far off, as Lucy barks orders, slogans and philosophies to cowering staff members at editorial meetings, and even to her nervously obsequious Hollywood contacts.

“If you don’t start using your power, you will lose it!” she advises one Hollywood player.

“As much as you all hate to admit it, you need me,” she tells another.

And my favorite, told firmly to her staff and employing a term Lucy uses more than once:

“This baby picture is what Wal-Mart Mommy wants!”

Well, this TV series is not what TV-Critic Daddy wants.

thanks QQQQ

This car thing is far too silly. You guys are right that people will do anything to jump on the J-P train.

Poeple have sold Brad’s used underwear froma hotel in New Orleans, and somebody kept his ciggie butt….

What’s next?

People selling Brad’s nail clippings?

The sad thing is, somebody’d buy them.
=======================

Haha, dragonfly, you underestimate some fans, with me among them. I would bid for those nail clippings. I would put them in a sachet and put it under my pillow every night. :oops: :lol: :lol:

Amaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Happy New Year., I can not wait to read them all. Thank you so much, you are awesome. Ok, back to work.

QQQQ

thank you! thank you! happy new year to you as well!

i saw a couple more clips of TGS on Inside the Actor’s Studio with Matt Damon last night. what a cutie he is! he had his whole family in the front row. he was asked about angie, of course and he called her “ballsy”. he had a lot to say about robert de niro’s directing style. i think he’s got a li’l crush on bobby d. anyhoo, if you get the chance, watch it. he was a lot more talkative than i expected him to be.

Hello ladies

^^^^

Hola mi amiga! You were missed by me. I hope you had a cool, fun and safe one trip but I’m glad you’re back in SD and JJ’s. I’m not supposed to be here, but I was SO jonesing that I had to slip in.

Thanks Just Jared for another thread. I am enjoying all the pictures of BAMZS minus the painting. The car dealership figures they can make twice the profit by putting the car on Ebay. That is how the world turns. BP is getting an eyeful of AJ as she boards the plane. That guy is so far gone in lust and love and it is cute to see in the pictures. I wish them a happy stay in New Orleans (my old stomping ground).

Dirt was a waste of a good hour. Any implied references to BP are a poor attempt for PR for the series. Cox can do better. The storylines were all over the place and the series may not last too long. Only good thing about the show is it made fun of the neurotic, derange pap. Poor guy he had a conscience at the end. FX is ususally know for cutting edge shows. This one was left on the cutting room floor.

Nice ASS Angie, I love IT !!!

Hi jpf, I missed you too mi amiga. How was your Christmas and New Year? I am wishing you all the best for the coming year. I had a wonderful and fun time with the family in England, but I am very very glad to be home. I know what you mean about not supposed to be here, I have a lot of work, but I just have to pop in on JJ to see what is going on and to say hello.

I can’t wait for the GG, 12 more days

^^^^

The holidays were actually not as wonderful as Thanksgiving was. I’m planning on something different next year but what I don’t know. I really want a more meaningful experience than it’s become for us. It just seems like when I was a kid it didn’t get so rushed and caught up in sales etc. This last month was so “boom boom boom done/over, back to whatever you were doing before” and there’s really a weird sense of the anticlimatic for me.

Ok, enough of the deep/dark. I don’t recall the last time I watched a GG. I’m not one to watch awards shows accept the Tony’s, and maybe the Oscars, and so I think I’ll tape the GG’s and watch it later so I can ff lol. Isn’t it the one with the round tables? I bet Matt & Luciana, Cate and her husband, Brad & Angelina, and maybe George C………………btw, last night I fell in love with him on Leno. I never knew the guy was bashful! I kinda swooned after it was over! I’m going to have to break it to AG that I’ve got a crush “I think” on her man.
