Previously - Bear with me because I haven't done the leg work on this piece yet. But I think Courtney Cox's ass got stabbed? And her photographer is skiz? And there's a gay brother? And they drove some actress crazy? Anyway, Courtney Cox is a hard bitch who runs a gossip rag. That's kind of the gist.

Hello, and welcome to our first recap of "Dirt" on FX! The readers (all three of them) voted and Dirt won out above the rest. Who knew people watched this mess? Does Courtney have pictures of people with farm animals? Who knows. For reals, I've never seen this show so bear with your recapper.
So Courtney Cox has great hair. Seriously, let's just get that out on the table. She's definitely been to hairapy. Some blond actress who I vaguely recall from overdosing on Ecstasy on "All My Children" (shut up, I watch soaps sometimes) makes steak tartar out of Courtney Cox with a big ole' knife for ruining her life with a story in her tabloid. I'm sensing this was a season long story. Courtney ends up crawling out onto her front walkway while crazy actress bitch runs through the jungle with a ridiculous camera strapped to her front so the director can be edgy. Anyway, she ends up faceplanting onto a car driven by some queen in a scalley cap who drives off. Will the mailman find Courtney?
Narration ensues. It's Don, Courtney's schizophrenic pap. Cats talk to him. Will his narration be irritating me all season long? Please no. I'll just start using closed captioning if I have to. Oh, good - he's catching me up on what I refused to watch last season. Seriously, any show that brings a piece of lukewarm toast like Aniston in to spice it up doesn't deserve my love. So Courtney's character ran some story about some actress being pregnant. There was drugs. She od'ed. A boyfriend crashed his ride. With the knifehappy chick in it. Boyfriend actor started banging Courtney. Knifehappy leaked her own sex tape, claimed rape. Courtney outed her as a mess. Can I stop typing now and have a Propel or something? Because this is chintzy.
It turns out Courtney's been in a coma for two weeks. Don, grizzled photographer nutjob, is upset. I guess they're pals. The direction of this mess is annoying me. Can we slow the camera down for awhile? By the way, no one's hair looks that good in a coma. Don is yelling shit at her about what happened. Courtney asks about "the cover". She's so dedicated to the ruination of lives! Seriously, can I brush her hair? I'm not being creepy, it's just so shiny!
