With the resurrection of Carrie Bradshaw (that Sex and the City prequel is happening whether we like it or not) comes the resurrection of grown women who think they are like so totally a Carrie. more ›

The Carrie Diaries, a prequel series to Sex and the City, is happening, whether we want it or not. It will be airing on the CW, and they just casted a young Carrie Bradshaw (not taking any of our suggestions). more ›

The ladies of Sex and the City may not be getting revirginized after all. Previously Sarah Jessica Parker said she wouldn't want Carrie to go back in time for a prequel (though she would go ahead five years for a third flick). Now Michael Patrick King, who directed both of the movies, says he won't be working on a prequel, either. more ›

Last month a site called The Frenemy tackled "Carrie Bradshaw Math," which was essentially the author throwing a lexical tantrum after feeling duped into moving to New York City under the assumption that she could live like a fictional television character. Raise your hand if you ever felt like Sex and the City was a good blueprint of which to base your real life. No one is raising their hand (we have a new technology that we won't get in to right now, there's just no time). more ›

Over at The Frenemy, a very angry young woman writes: "I’ve been out of college with a writing degree for almost a year now. I moved to NYC to pursue writing... but something’s been bothering me. Carrie Bradshaw, you gotta be tripping balls to have us believe that you can sustain yourself that extravagantly on that one stupid-ass column. You lying bitch! It’s a cruel joke! It hurts my feelings! You dream crushing, bone-crushing bitch." Stop trying to pretend that you can live in New York and have this overly successful life based on writing alone." (How can a pretend person pretend? The mind reels!) more ›

If you've seen these Summer and the City posters around town touting tales of Carrie, Miranda and Samantha together in the city for the first time... don't worry, there's not another movie upon us, yet. However, author Candace Bushnell has just released her latest young adult novel, which follows a teenage Carrie Bradshaw from Connecticut to the city, where she meets Samantha, then Miranda, goes vintage clothes shopping, visits the Shubert Theatre, at one point throws her arms open and shouts: "Hello, New York!" And so on. After a visit to Saks she's basically an expert on the city.... so her guide to the real New York has been included in the book. At least she's teaching people how to pronounce Houston Street? more ›

Candace Bushnell, the woman who launched a thousand well-heeled tourists on to a stoop in the Greenwich Village, is now jumping on the popular Young Adult bandwagon, having announced that she's inked a deal to write two teen novels. Get excited, they're Sex and the City prequels! more ›

Well Sex and the City fans, any hopes you had of sitting on the Carrie Bradshaw's stoop are now being dashed by the people who really live in there. The Villager reports that "Last week, residents won a reprieve, when, on July 15, the largest of the tour operators, On Location Tours, announced it would take Perry St. off its route." Sure, your MySpace, Flickr and Facebook photo albums are going to be an utter embarrassment if you're lacking the carefully posed shot of you and your best gal pals sitting on the 66 Perry Street steps, but wipe those tears, your mascara is running -- and besides, there's plenty of time for photo ops while waiting on line outside Magnolia Bakery!

Though the trailer echoed the sentiment that "Brooklyn is the new Manhattan," and SJP herself called the outer boroughs "desirable," last night the Sex and the City movie premiere took place smack dab in the middle of town at Radio City Music Hall. more ›

First Madonna dissed New York City, calling it "boring," and now Miss Sex and the City herself is saying it's "not what it used to be." Sarah Jessica Parker may actually be doing us all a favor, however, by discouraging the inevitable flock or Carrie Bradshaw-wannabees from moving to the Big Apple after The Big Movie comes out later this year. more ›

Have you seen Sex and the City filming around town? Seems like some people are watching the cast of the 'ol show film the new movie every step of the way. The Times chronicled the madness and, OMG, talked to Carrie Bradshaw herself (who was hiding away in the basement of the Bryant Park Hotel). She had this to say of her on-the-job craziness: “I basically just look down between every take because it’s... more ›

This past week, the big wedding wasn't even real! According to the many paparazzi photographs of the Sex & the City movie filming, it seems that Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw is finally stepping down the aisle. With, we assume, Mr. Big. The wedding between the fictional sex columnist-turned-author and the rich business guy (it's never been totally clear what Big does, except smirk and show up at the right and wrong times) took place at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The bride wore Vivienne Westwood, her bridesmaids did not wear matching bridesmaid gowns. We'll know more when the movie comes out next year. more ›

We got mixed reviews in our poll about the Sex and the City movie that's coming out more than three years after the show ended its HBO series. Whether we wanted it or not, the movie is going to happen -- and film crews and cast have already arrived. more ›

What Pop Burger did for burgers, the new Pizza Bar wants to do for pizza--provide a lounge-y, highly stylized environment in which late night dining and (more importantly?) drinking can occur. By choosing the terrifyingly trendy meatpacking district, the owners (one of whom also owns Pop Burger) have made their mission clear: prey on the young, hungry, and drunken masses. With a full liquor license and operating hours that extend until 4am, Pizza Bar's definitely not your typical by-the-slice pizzeria. more ›

AdWeek says other celebrities in the Gap's fall ad campaign include Jessica Alba, Michael Vartan, and Peter Krause. Yummy. And in other crazy news, the Strangers with Candy movie, which will feature a cameo by SJP, started filming in New Jersey. more ›

There's an excellent unofficial Amy Sedaris page that links to a Time Out interview with some choice Amy quotes ("I didn't even know it was the Year of the Monkey—I'm just a year-round monkey gal. Monkeys are the best, right?") Season Two of Strangers for Candy is out on DVD. Gothamist previously on Strangers with Candy. more ›

- Carrie strutting down the street, wearing some combination of fur, lame, and heels that was a little George Clinton-esque, checking her sequin-covered cellphone to see that Big, apparently named "John," was calling. more ›

Hmm, first came news that David Duchovny had signed on to play a love interest for Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City. Now, the Times' Bill Carter breaks who will be the final romantic interest for Carrie this season: Mikhail Baryshnikov. Baryshnikov will play an artist of "extreme importance," someone with the kind of "scale" that makes Big look like a high school sweetheart. But there is no word who Carrie will end up wtih. more ›

The tabs took single women to task this weekend: The Post talks about how there are more single women now than ever in New York (especially in 35- to 44-year-old age bracket) and the Daily News suggests that the key for the Democrats in the next presidential election might be single women. more ›

For once, Gothamist might be saying there's too much information. It was bad enough knowing Ron Livingston had only signed on for eight episodes (so far?) for Sex and the City before the season even started, meaning Jack Berger is probably not anything too permanent. It's just that there's something wonderfully (relatively) sane and normal about Berger that's even more of a fantasy than Chris Noth's Big, who, by recent Gawker accounts, is looking really rough. more ›
