Courteney Cox confirmed at a charity event on Sunday that her FX show Dirt has been canceled and has not been picked up for a third season. I was surprised that it had a second season, because it was poorly reviewed and even a much talked about on-screen kiss at the end of the first season, between Cox’s character, tabloid editor Lucy Spiller, and a rival editor played by Jennifer Aniston couldn’t manage to boost ratings. Cox and her husband, David Arquette, produced the series together and she says they have plenty of projects in the works for the future:
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.”

Cox and Arquette made $23 million from the sale of their Malibu home last August, so they should have plenty of money to live on and use for business ventures.
According to IMDB, Cox’s sole upcoming film is Bedtime Stories, a family film that stars Adam Sandler and is out at the end of this year.
If Cox gets desperate to act, she can always ask good friend Jennifer Aniston to cast her in a movie. Aniston recently created her own production company and has at least six films in the works.
Courteney Cox and David Arquette are shown at “Time for Heroes celebrity carnival to benefit The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatic Aids Foundation” on 6/8/08, thanks to WENN.
