Page Six quotes National Enquirer/Star magazine editor Bonnie Fuller as denying that FX's show Dirt is about her.

Bonnie Fuller, who oversees the National Enquirer and Star magazine, is happy to see Courteney Cox playing an editor of two weekly tabloids in "Dirt," which debuts tomorrow on FX. But Fuller doesn't rate the show highly in terms of realism.

Cox, who starred for years on "Friends," has dark hair like Fuller, and her character, Lucy Spiller, will "do anything to get a story" - but the series is a complete "work of fiction," Fuller, the editorial director of American Media Inc., told Page Six's Corynne Steindler.

More photos from the New Year's Party in Cabo (Jennifer Aniston, David Arquette, Sheryl Crow, Courteney Cox, Giuliana DiPandi and Bill Rancic), plus more on how Lucy is not Bonnie, after the jump.

Someone really really hates Bonnie "Leona" Fuller. An employee of American Media — the company that publishes the Star and the National Enquirer — has trashed editorial director Bonnie Fuller in a catty e-mail to PAGE SIX. On top of that, apparently 60 Minutes II is preparing a Bonnie expose.

Gawker has the entire email. I've highlighted a few portions as well:

- Bonnie uses a stupid yellow pencil for writing captions (I'm assuming while editing).
- Bonnie walks like a duck.
- Bonnie is a liar.
- Bonnie has compulsive disorders.
- Bonnie is frugal.
- Bonnie looks like a chubbier Ricky Lake.
- Bonnie is overpaid.
- Bonnie is afraid of getting old.
- Bonnie is the ultimate anti-feminist.
- Bonnie is a money grubbing whore.

. . . and it goes on. It really is a must read.
