Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston will smooch on season finale of FX's "Dirt."

In the episode, Aniston, 38, guest stars as a lesbian magazine editor and rival to Cox's character, ruthless tabloid queen Lucy Spiller.

报道说，安妮斯顿在好友考克斯的新剧《丑闻》中客串了一个同性恋女主编的角色，在《丑闻》大结局时，两位女主编还上演吻别镜头。

由报道可知，“客串”可表达为“to guest star”。为了提高收视率，影视作品力请大腕儿搞“客串”可谓风靡全球。既然“客串演员”是名人，“to guest star”恰到好处地体现了“名人不是一般的配角(to star)、名人又不是影片主角儿(guest)”的内涵。

值得一提的是，“客串”的表达并不仅仅拘泥于“to guest star”，比如，你也可用“to appear in a guest role”或者“to make a guest appearance on the soap opera/show/sitcom”来表达。举例说，报道中的话也可改写为：

Aniston, 38, makes a guest appearance on Cox's new show as a lesbian magazine editor and rival to Cox's character, ruthless tabloid queen Lucy Spiller.(38岁的安妮斯顿在考克斯的新剧中客串了一个同性恋女主编的角色，而考克斯则在剧中饰演一个心狠手辣的八卦女皇后。)

此外，“guest star”也可做名词用，这时，“guest star”也可写做“guest actor/guest actress”。
