Well, it had to happen: Sex and the City boytoy Jason Lewis is suing Absolut Vodka for using the fake "Absolut Hunk" ad, created for an episode of SATC, as a real ad. According to AdAge, Lewis has "avoided assignments relating to alcohol, tobacco and guns...and refused work requiring nudity so that he would be taken seriously by the fashion and entertainment industries." Plus, "the "Absolut Hunk" work was not to be used outside of the series without Mr. Lewis' consent and that it was not to be available in magazines or where young children had access"; Absolut had issued a press release and put the image on the website, as well as how to make an Absolut Hunk cocktail, the day after the show aired. Yes, that would be disturbing for a little kid to see the picture - he or she would runny to Mommy or Daddy and say, "Do boys grow Absolut bottles when they get bigger?"

Forget Mr. Big or Aidan or even early Berger - the new Sex and the City guy the ladies are swooning over is Harry Goldenblatt, the hairy, sweaty, sweet mensch Charlotte married. The Post talks to women and men alike who love Harry, with people responding to his realistic (as much as possible in the SATC world) imperfection and commitment. Of course, some feel his wealth also alleviates some flaws, but Gothamist will stick to the glass half full opinion of people and say, Mazel tov to producers for bringing in a male character with almost negative muscle tone. Jason Lewis as Smith Jerrod is great eye candy, but Evan Handler as Harry Goldenblatt is more for the ages.

Ad Age coos over what they think is the most successful product placement this summer: Absolut Vodka's critical role in a Sex and the City plot line between Kim Cattrall and Jason Lewis. No money changed hands, which doesn't surprise Gothamist - you cannot buy publicity like this. Patrick O'Neill, creative director of TBWA/Chiat Day, created the ad, and was "inspired" by seminal pin-up posters of "Farrah Fawcett in a swimsuit and Burt Reynolds on a shaggy rug." Also, TBWA "." Love handles! Jason Lewis has love handles? They must be imaginary ones.

Jason Lewis will be playing Kim Cattrall's boyfriend in the upcoming season of Sex and the City. Jason Lewis is a model and sometime actor (Beverly Hills 90210), but his biggest role recently has been as fiance (now ex-fiance) of Paris Hilton.
