Looks like "Dirt," the new FX drama starring Courtney Cox as a Bonnie Fuller-like gossip queen, could use a copy editor.

In the show title and also a magazine mockup that is part of the credits, Cox’s magazine is called Dirt. But whenever depicted in the program, it’s written Drrt.

And when the magazine merges with Now, another fictional title in the third episode, the spelling changes to DirtNow.

"It was a legal clearance issue on using the magazine name Dirt," a show spokesman explained.

He declined to elaborate, although a little digging shows that Dirt was briefly published as a male version of teen magazine Sassy in the 1990s, and is currently the name of a British mountain bike magazine.

I watched the no-commercial pilot, and it was just okay. There was a ton of character development for the schizophrenic photographer, which leads me to believe he will become the show’s lead if Cox leaves the series at some point. The friendship with the photog also helps shine a less shallow light on Cox’s character.
