From AfterEllen.com - Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever.

AfterEllen.com exclusive scoop! The upcoming FX drama series Dirt, starring Courtney Cox as a paparazzi maven who will do whatever it takes to get good gossip, features Carly Pope (Popular, Itty Bitty Titty Committee) in a recurring role as a gay drug dealer. Pope's character Garbo is introduced in the third episode, and appears in several episodes after that.

I haven't seen a screener of the series yet, so I can't comment on her performance myself, but according to our sources, Pope is "amazing" as Garbo, and "born to play this role". I'm definitely digging her name, no doubt a reference to legendary actress Greta Garbo, who was long rumored to play for both teams.

Carly's character on Popular, Sam - an unpopular teen who suddenly becomes step-sisters with the school's most popular girl, Brooke (Leslie Bibb) - was actually slated to come out as a lesbian in the third season, but the show was canceled at the end of season two.
