COURTENEY COX is back with a second season of the FX hit "Dirt," and she's giving our own THEA ANDREWS the dirt on the real-life paparazzi -- and her precious little girl, COCO!

"Coco's very comfortable on the set, very comfortable around all the people," says Courteney. "She's an actor, for sure; she's a little performer."

The new season of "Dirt" debuts Sunday, March 2 at 10pm on FX. Courteney executive produces with hubby DAVID ARQUETTE and stars as Lucy Spiller, the executive editor at two tabloid magazines that rip through the Hollywood gloss to deliver the dirt audiences truly crave. Last season concluded with a killer cliffhanger ending, as Lucy was stabbed by one of her tabloid targets!

There's plenty of paparazzi action and intrigue on the show, but as for the real-life photographers that Courteney runs into, it's a slightly different story.

"I think the paparazzi's been kind of nicer to me; I think they like the show, so there's a little more camaraderie, it seems like," says Courteney. But asked whether or not she's a little more empathetic to them and what they do, Courteney replies sharply, "No."
