Dirty, pretty, Courteney Cox

Is actress Courteney Cox taking her role as a tabloid editor in new show 'Dirt' too seriously?

To publicise her new show in which she appears as a tabloid magazine editor, the former Friends star agreed to be photographed for a magazine shoot caked in the stuff.

Despite being smeared in soil, Courteney, 42, who shot to fame as 'neat freak' Monica Geller in the hit TV show Friends, still manages to smoulder and look sultry as she posed semi-nude for the camera.

In her new comedy drama Dirt, Courteney plays Lucy Spiller, an executive editor of a tabloid magazine.
