Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston is preparing to take her Emmy-winning neurosis back to the small-screen.

Aniston, 37, will be joining best friend and former costar, Courteney Cox, 42, on the season finale of Cox’s new FX series, Dirt.

Aniston is set to play a rival tabloid editor to Cox’s Lucy Spiller, the scheming hard-as-nails editor-in-chief of the fictional tabloid, DirtNow.

Cox hinted last week in an interview with Extra TV that a BFF cameo was already a done deal.

"We talk about it all the time," Cox said. "What kind of character she should play, should she play herself or should we write some great thing for her, she’ll come on for sure!"

This is Aniston’s first foray back into television since Friends went off the air in 2004. You can catch the season finale of Dirt On FX on March 27th.

David Arquette, who along with his wife, Courteney Cox, 42, is co-executive producing the new FX series, Dirt, on which Cox stars, dropped by Howard Stern’s Sirius Satellite radio show Wednesday morning. The quirky, normally shy star was game for a revealing interview about his abusive mother, his wife’s BFF Jennifer Aniston, 37, and how her famous divorce from Brad Pitt, 43, affected the men’s friendship.

Among his other revelations? The 35-year-old In Case of Emergency actor has never seen Aniston shed a tear over her romantic woes, he never fantasizes about other women, although he sometimes lets his cowboy sex fantasies run free. A partial transcript below:

On Jen and Brangelina:
Howard: How hard it must have been for you, your wife is best friends with Jennifer Aniston, so you’re in the middle of that whole thing.
David: Jennifer’s great. When the marriage ended, it was sad.

Howard: Do you have to act like Brad’s an a** all the time?
David: No, I love Brad, he’s a great guy. He did some stuff that hurt our friend, but you know…

Howard: Do you ever see Jen cry?
David: No, no, never, not one tear shed.

Howard: There was speculation that the whole Vince Vaughn thing wasn’t true, that they never actually dated.
David: No, no, they dated, they really cared about each other.

Howard: How did you hear that Brad split? Did Courtney tell you?
David: Um, we knew, we all knew about it.

Howard: When did you find out he was sleeping with Angelina, did you know that?
David: That part was pretty much a surprise.

Howard: Did you give Jen advice, talk to her about her marriage?
David: In general, I think that if something’s not working out between people, you just move on.

Howard: Well they were working until Angelina came along..
David: Yeah, they wouldn’t have broke up if not for that. [laughs]

But all kidding aside with this whole thing, Jennifer is the greatest girl. Those magazines, they take something and it’s working for them so they play it out, but she’s not really that sad about the whole thing. She’s the greatest, she’s such a sweetheart, she’s so funny.

Howard: I don’t think Jen should hate her, she should hate Brad not Angelina.
David: I don’t think Jennifer hates her either, I don’t think it’s like that. The way they depict it is completely wrong. She’s a very strong woman, she’s totally solid and she’s just got a great attitude.

Howard: Have you talked to Brad?
David: I spoke to him once. We didn’t actually speak, I texted him, I just said congratulations on the baby and he wrote back.

On his marriage and sex life:
Howard: You and Courtney still go to therapy?
David: Yeah, we go to therapy once in a while.

Howard: Why?
David: Just stress from work. But I’m happy, don’t get me wrong, I love her.

Howard: Have you ever cheated on her?
David: Never! I’ve never had sex with anyone else.

Howard: How do you keep your sex life hot, does she dress up in little costumes?
David: No, she doesn’t dress up, she’s not a dress up kind of girl. I’ll put on a cowboy hat once in a while.

Howard: Do you fantasize about other women?
David: No, never. I don’t think in those terms anymore, when I was single I was crazy, but when I got engaged, I changed my whole attitude.

On his family:
Howard: Your sister Patricia recently came out and said your mother beat her.
David: Yeah, well my mother came from a dysfunctional family and she was abused and she was abusive. Especially on the older kids, I got a little of it. But then, my mom ended up going on and becoming a marriage and family counselor. It’s an amazing thing because she broke the cycle.

Courtney Cox has announced that her best friend, Jennifer Aniston (37) will make a guest appearance on her new show Dirt, in which Cox plays the editor of a weekly celebrity magazine.

"We talk about it all the time,” Cox (42) tells Extra in an interview scheduled to air on Wednesday. “What kind of character she should play, should she play herself or should we write some great thing for her. She’ll come on for sure!"

Aniston said she’s game for the cameo. “I would love to, if I was invited," she revealed to Extra. "Just to be able to work with my girl again! We have talked about it, we’ve danced around it.”

If you haven’t seen the show, you can check out an excerpt from the premiere and the extended promo, above and below. It would be nice to see the show reflect more of what is currently happening in Hollywood today.

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.

Hollywood pumpkin patches are a little different than most other places in the U.S. I mean you might expect to see a princess and a pirate, but not the kind that the Girls Next Door provided. Courtney Cox and Coco took it in stride, but some of the other moms got a bit upset. Find out what I’m talking about after the jump…
