Jennifer Aniston to Play a Lesbian on "Dirt"

Dirt will reunite two old Friends when Jennifer Aniston guest-stars on the March 27th season finale.

The FX drama series, which stars Courteney Cox-Arquette as tabloid editor Lucy Spiller, debuted January 2nd to strong ratings. In the finale, according to TV Guide, Aniston will play a lesbian rival tabloid editor who spars with Lucy - and ends up kissing her.

Aniston has kissed women on screen before: Lisa Kudrow and Winona Rider on Friends, and Dagmara Dominczyk in the Mark Wahlberg movie Rock Star (2001). Aniston and Cox's characters on Friends even kissed once, off-screen (read more about that in our history of lesbianism on Friends). But Aniston has never actually played a lesbian until now.

This will also be the first time Cox and Aniston have shared the screen together since Friends ended in 2004.

Dirt already has one recurring lesbian character - drug-dealer-to-the-stars Garbo, played by Carly Pope (Popular). Garbo was introduced in the third episode ("Ovaphagy") when one of Lucy's undercover reporters bought drugs from her in an attempt to elicit confidential information.

Over the course of the season, Garbo becomes romantically entangled with one of the show's lead characters, Julia Mallory (The 4400's Laura Allen), a high-profile actress whose addictions and insecurities push her into a drug-fueled downward spiral.

Dirt airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on FX.
