Six Feet Under: A euphemism for death, which comes from the practice of digging down six feet into the earth to bury coffins.

"Dirt" is dead. Courteney Cox's FX series about the editor of a weekly celebrity magazine has been canceled after two seasons; the second having been cut short by 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." (Source)

I think the real problem with "Dirt" was that the public is interested in celebrities, not the people who bring them the celebrities. That's why a show about gossip bloggers would never work, either. Sure, we may have the glamorous body issues and fabulous fashion sense of celebrities -- but instead of going to premieres and parties every night we just sit in front of the computer and drink until we pass out. Basically, just think of the footage of the guy who got stuck in the elevator for two days; add an iMac, mini-wine fridge and cuter shoes, and that's my life in a nutshell. Which is decidedly less glamorous.

Also? Can I just say how much I love it that these two are still together even though she's Courteney Cox and he's a giant man-child who looks like a "Yo Gabba Gabba" reject?
