New England Hit List :: Feb. 29

While it’s not exactly in the same league as "24" or even FX’s "Nip/Tuck," the naughty tabloid-magazine workplace series "Dirt" returns to the small screen after ceasing production in December after completing only seven of their 13 ordered episodes because of the WGA strike.

For those not in the know, Courteney Cox Arquette plays tabloid queen Lucy Spiller, a ruthless Hollywood scandal-sheet editor who uses threats and manipulation to track down dirt on stars.

Danny Comden, who once starred in 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 Cox’s bitchy alter-ego.

However, we’re still in awe after last season’s blow job scene, when former "Melrose Place" hottie Grant Show played closeted action star Jack Dawson. You know, the one who had an ongoing "oral fixation" with Spiller’s gay brother, Leo (Will McCormack)?

"Dirt" scorches the small screen 10 p.m. Sunday, March 2 on FX.
