Courtney Cox is looking to save her career by going back to what she does best…getting laughs. Someone has to support her husband David Arquette. After that dismal cable show she did called “Dirt” anything would be a step up. Well she is throwing her hat into the big leagues with a guest shot on “Scrubs”. Cox will be filling in for the not so beloved Dr. Kelso.

J.D., Elliot and Co. have a new friend! Exclusive sources confirm that Courtney Cox is joining the cast of Scrubs for a three-episode arc as fictional Sacred Heart’s new Chief of Medicine. Exec producer Bill Lawrence revealed back in May that he was going to stunt cast the role.

Good job! As the boss lady Cox will really “ruffle feathers” reports a Scrubs insider. When your career is in the dumper TV is the place to go. RememberBritney Spears on How I Met Your Mother?

This is a really smart move on Courtney’s part. She still has a little of the “Friends” shine left on her, the bit that “Dirt’ didn’t screw up. As a not quite “older” actress she needs to get back in the game find her niche. She is not the only guest star that has been on Scrubs remember Heather Graham and Tara Reid?

[OMG]
