About DIRT & Episode Guides


Dirt Aired From January 02, 2007 - April 13, 2008 On FX.



About Dirt:
Lucy Spiller is the editor-in-chief of the first-of-its-kind “glossy tabloid” magazine DirtNow, which was previously two separate publications: Drrt! (a tabloid) and Now (a glossy magazine). The show centers around the publication of the magazine and the lives of Spiller, and her long time friend Don Konkey, a paparazzo and functioning schizophrenic who is deeply loyal to her. Also included are the lives of some of the celebrities covered by the magazine, including Holt McLaren and Julia Mallory, a celebrity couple.

Most episodes focus upon Lucy’s never-ending quest to find new news stories regarding celebrities nut, as the series progresses, we learn more about Lucy and Don’s personal lives.  A functional schizophrenic, Don regularly hallucinates and hears voices, which is often filtered through his sense of guilt over the questionable actions he takes in order to help Lucy land her stories and the fall-out that comes from exposing people’s dark secrets. Lucy meanwhile is secretly depressed, her life is totally devoted towards the magazine, to the extent of forgoing any sort of social life whatsoever.

The strike-shortened second season currently running will have only seven episodes.

I'm not a celebrity, but I play one on tv: The show’s “celebrities” aren’t real, but several are based on real people. Similarities include: a celebrity who dies of a drug overdose and whose funeral is crashed by paparazzi who took pictures of the body holding a flower (River Phoenix); the Southern father/manager of two singers/reality television stars (Joe, Jessica and, Ashlee Simpson); two spoiled, inseparable celebutantes (Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie); a wealthy pregnant woman previously married to an elderly man who inherited his fortune (Anna Nicole Smith); and a sitcom star screaming at his daughter in a phone message (Alec Baldwin)
