This fall, there's not only a new class coming in at the new 90210's West Beverly High, there's also a brand new teacher, fresh out of college and ready to influence young minds. You with me here?The new teach on the scene is Ryan Matthews, played by Dirt's own Ryan Eggold. Now that Eggold's Farber Kauffman won't be returning to the air, he can focus his attention on the nubile newbies of West Bev. At Friday's STRIDE Gum's Ridiculously Long Lasting Celebration, Eggold talked to TVGuide.com about how things will play out for him in (and out) of the classroom. By Eggold's account, Mr. Matthews is "kind of a kid himself. A lot of options there." One of those "options" will play out in the pilot episode. "There is some tension between a student and myself," he said. The illicit intermingling, however, may not come to fruition: "I'm not sure where they're going to go with it," Eggold said. "I do have a love interest, I can't say yet [who]."Fans of indie flick Half Nelson should recognize...

Courteney Cox Arquette, akin to her Dirt alter ego, offered up some scoop at Sunday's "A Time for Heroes" Celebrity Carnival, benefiting the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation: Her FX series is folding. "It just got canceled," she shared when asked about the prospect of a Season 3 pickup. (Season 2 was cut short by the WGA strike.)Cox, however, seemed optimistic about the future. She and hubby David, with whom she produced Dirt, have their own shingle, and as such, "We’re developing all kinds of stuff right now," she said. "We'll producing more stuff together, for sure." — Matt Mitovich, with reporting by Bekah Wright

Jeers to Dirt for pushing the limits of ridiculousness. In the overheated FX serial's second-season opener, ruthless editrix Lucy Spiller (the wildly miscast Courteney Cox) survived her stabbing at the hands of a tabloid target, woke up from a coma... and immediately started running "Dirt Now" magazine again. She even participated in a paparazzi chase and popped a staple in her stomach. Let it be known now that if I ever get knifed by somebody I've Jeered, I'm taking a week off.

Everyone was giving scoop at the season premiere of Courteney Cox's FX series, Dirt, on Thursday evening. According to the cast, viewers can expect more ripped-from-the-headlines plots and familiar celebrity characters this season, including one about a very publicly drunk male star — inspired by David Hasselhoff — and crazy antics from the Britney-inspired character "Sharlee Cates" (played by Ashley Johnson).Coexecutive producer and Cox hubby David Arquette — who directed an episode this season — told TV Guide that sometimes, real life imitates what happens on the show and not the other way around, as viewers may suspect."We want it to be current so we try to predict things before they happen," said Arquette. "We did something with our Britney character that actually came true. There's a relationship with a paparazzi that we filmed before it actually happened, so when it happened, we were like, 'Whoa.
