It's a good thing Courteney Cox is no stranger to Hollywood gossip.

The actress - and best friend of former costar Jennifer Aniston - is set to reprise her role as a cutthroat tabloid magazine editor hungry for celebrity scandal in a second series of her TV show Dirt.

She has posed for a smouldering new photoshoot to promote the return show, which famously featured a lesbian kiss between Courtney and Jennifer in its first season.
