Cox wants to spoof Spears in 'Dirt'

Courtney Cox wants to use Britney Spears' troubled life for a storyline in the second series of her US show Dirt.

The Friends actress will spoof the singer's problems in the celebrity magazine-based show, although Spears will not appear in the programme herself.

A source told Star magazine: "Courteney can’t wait to give the Britney character a major smack-down on camera.

"Being a parent herself, Courteney is disheartened by the way Britney has treated her own kids."
