90210's New Teacher Hints How He'll Heat Up West Bev

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...

"We'll producing more stuff together, for sure." — Matt Mitovich, with reporting by Bekah Wright

Art Imitates Life as FX Digs Up More Dirt

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. That's interesting.'"The cast couldn't give away all the deta...

Dirt Digs Up a New Beau for Courteney Cox

Danny Comden, whom a handful of you may remember from the short-lived 2003 ABC sitcom I'm with Her, has been recruited for a three-episode arc on FX's Dirt, playing a new love interest for Courteney Cox's tabloid queen Lucy Spiller. Specifically (because Dirt is all about the nuances), Comden has been cast as an almost-divorced TV bigwig who wants to rekindle an old romance with Lucy.Dirt premieres Season 2 on March 2.

Less Dirt Dug Up by FX

FX has announced a March 2 premiere for the second season of Courteney Cox Arquette's Dirt, which will air Sundays at 10. Though the tabloid-magazine workplace series had received a full 13-episode order, only seven shows got penned before the WGA work stoppage started. Nonetheless, since this isn't exactly 24 we're talking about here, FX has opted to go ahead and unspool the season.

Have Yourself a Merry Little DVD Gift Guide!

On the third day of my Holiday Gift GuideI showed more love of DVDsThree sci-fi classicsTwo horror remakesAnd an FX drama you have to see!Stargate SG-1  The Complete Series Collection  Oh lord, I dont know if you should watch it or bench press it, because this set is ginormous! 54 discs and 9900 minutes of interstellar space-and-military action from the effects bonanza that currently holds the record for the longest-running sci-fi series ever. Not too shabby, considering that the Richard Dean Anderson vehicle first blasted off on Showtime before jumping over to the Sci Fi network after five seasons. Throw in a few cast changes, about a gazillion warring alien races and knockout features on everything from the sets to the sci-fi convention culture and you have the sort of collection that could honestly consume an entire month.

Question: Do you have any scoop on The Riches? We all know it won't live up to your love for FX's Dirt.Answer: Oh, I get it — you're being sarcastic. It was so subtle I nearly missed it. Anyway, I loved The Riches. Well, I loved the completely original and highly entertaining pilot. Too bad it quickly deteriorated into your standard, run-of-the-mill, cliché-ridden dark comedy about life in suburbia. The downward spiral started Monday night and continues with next week's painfully uneven third episode. I'll probably give it a few more weeks, if for no other reason than to watch Eddie Izzard's career-making performance. I'm also kind of curious about who keeps calling Doug Rich's phone, a mystery that kinda sorta gets answered in the final seconds of next week's epis

You sound like the love child of Fran Drescher and an 8-watt bullhorn when you scream. Sheesh. I've seen the much-ballyhooed-by-me Courteney-Jen kiss, and here's what I can tell you: It's a full-on mouth-on-mouth smooch; we witness it from a male character's POV; and the whole thing plays out in slow motion. You can see for yourself on March 27.

Question: OK, leaving your distaste for Dirt aside, for those of us who do like the series, does it look hopeful that they will renew it?Answer: I'm guessing that all depends on how many folks tune in to watch Courteney and Jennifer swap spit in the Mar. 27 season finale. It's probably a good sign that the sets are still standing. Unless, of course, you're me, in which case it's a really bad sign.

If you were planning to tune in to the Mar. 27 Dirt finale to fulfill your L Word fantasies about just-Friends Rachel and Monica, don't bother. (Sorry, Mitovich.) Yesterday, series star Courteney Cox reiterated to yet another news outlet (in this case, Access Hollywood) that her and Jennifer Aniston's kiss doesn't even include any tongue. As if to rub salt in the wound, Mrs. David Arquette added that "it is really not a big deal to kiss" Brad Pitt's ex. Lisa Kudrow, you're our final hope.Matt here: Is Cox protesting too much? Isn't this, like, her second time playing down the kiss to the media? Dayum, those two musta really made out! Ah, to be a fly on the editing-room wall....

Casting About: Jennifer Aniston Wallows in Dirt

It's official: This is what Friends are for. Jennifer Aniston will guest on the March 27 season finale of Courteney Cox's FX series Dirt, Variety reports. The actress formerly known as Rachel Green will play a rival of Cox's tabloid editor.... Who better than Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, to guest on a show called In Case of Emergency? Randolph Mantooth, you say? OK, but he just wasn't right for the part of David Arquette's mother. Instead, Jane Seymour has been tapped to appear in three episodes. Actually, come to think of it, Jane's not right for that part, either. I'm seeing Shirley Jones.

Courteney Nixes One Friends Reunion, Eyes Another

Speaking to the press at the Television Critics Association conference, Courteney Cox waxed skeptical on the latest outlook for a Friends reunion special, saying, "It's too hard to get everyone together.... I just can't see it happening." Cox, however, is bullish on sharing the small screen again with at least Jennifer Aniston, who has expressed her love for Cox's new FX series, Dirt, and is anxious to guest on it. "I would love to," Aniston told Extra earlier this week. "Just to be able to work with my girl again!" Perhaps the only holdup is deciding who Jen would play, if not her tabloids-weary self. But, Cox promises, "We'll think of something good if it happens."
