Courteney Cox and David Arquette, having put in about as much stay-at-home time with baby Coco as can reasonably expected from a celebrity couple derailed from their one-and-a-half thriving careers by the drudgery of parenthood, have decided to go back to work:

Courteney Cox will topline the FX drama pilot "Dirt," a project she is exec producing with husband David Arquette and scribe Matthew Carnahan ("Fastlane").


Cox will play the editor-in-chief of two popular tabloids. Series will revolve around her world as she orchestrates the fates of the celebs who fill the papers' pages.

There is much gold to mined in the ironies of a celebrity portraying the very barnacle of her existence, all the more so if Cox can manage to convince some of her tabloid fodder friends to play themselves on the series. Seeing Jennifer Aniston throttling Cox's neck in a gripping episode entitled, "The Case of the Topless Photos Taken From 300 Yards Away," should make for the kind of Friends reunion that truly defines "must see" TV.
