Running after kids while in Jimmy Choos? Pancake batter on a Prada jacket? The lines between Carrie Bradshaw and Sarah Jessica Parker blur in the new movie, I Don't Know How She Does It, which opens today and is based on a British novel about a working mother who tries to do it all/have it all and not go insane. Oh, and in the movie, Parker's character Kate Reddy is married to Greg Kinnear (Aidan?, flirts with Pierce Brosnan (Mr. Big?), is best friends with Christina Hendricks (Miranda/Samantha/Charlotte?), has a work rival in Seth Meyers (someone mean, like Michiko Kakutani, maybe?). more ›

When Mayor Bloomberg decides to leave politics, don't expect him to be out of the public eye just yet: Bloomberg has developed quite the acting career for himself over the years.

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 ›

Are you as excited for Sex And The City 3: Final Urban Intercourse to happen as we are? But Kim Cattrall wants us to know that she is a very serious actress, not just some witty hussy. And she's showing us in her new film, Monica Velour, by playing…uh…a porn star! more ›

One-upping all those NYU freshmen moving to the city just to drink Cosmos and find a gay best friend, Christina Saunders of Hertfordshire, England decided to model her sexual adventures off of notoriously promiscuous Samantha Jones of Sex and the City. After a marathon SATC viewing while she had a flu at age 20, she set her self a goal: 1,000 men in 10 years. She told News of the World, "I wanted to be confident like [Samantha]. I got hooked on the buzz of one-night-stands." Remember ladies, the cure for low self-esteem is lots of empty, meaningless sex. more ›

Sex and the City fans have already suffered enough losing Carrie Bradshaw's stoop, but now the show/movie's bus tour is taking Magnolia Bakery off its route. In case you forgot, this is where—while eating a cupcake outside—Carrie first tells Miranda about Aidan. (Relive the magic.) more ›

This Saturday a massive amount of star power will come together at Galapagos in DUMBO to rally around a Sex and the City crew member's daughter, Minty, who was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer (anaplastic ependymoma) in her first months of life.

Well this is an interesting publicity route: Sex and the City starlet Sarah Jessica Parker told the London Daily Mail that she regrets signing on for the Sex sequel! She says her work schedule has cut the amount of time she has with her surrogate-borne 4-month-old twins, Tabitha and Marion. She told them: "One [baby] would prefer to be held 24 hours a day, and the other is already suffering from type A issues. It's been amazing but complicated because of my current work schedule, which I have enormous regrets about." [via Village Voice] more ›

Last year residents of a Perry Street townhouse, one that is home to Carrie Bradshaw in a fictional world, put up a chain and a sign threatening away any fans taking photos on the stoop. Since fans allegedly are ignoring the sign, they have added a new one. This time around it's attached to a money drop box, and asks if you take a photo, to donate to a charity for orphaned animals. Hear that Carrie fans? For every photo you take, and dollar you don't donate, you are killing kittens and puppies. VanishingNY spotted the new system, and calls for a new tax in the city: a Tourist & Yunnie Nuisance Tax. more ›

Seen any cougars prowling your neighborhood lately? As the Sex and the City gals film their sequel around town, the NY Post takes a look at the aging foursome a whopping 11 years after we first all got to know them.

You may have seen a lot of SJP-wannabes yesterday around 18th Street and 6th Avenue, as the extras casting call for the Sex and the City sequel were held. The listing called for "models, celebrity types, upscale socialites, urban clubgoers, gays and lesbians, international types (Middle Eastern, Arabic, Asian, European, British) and professional soccer players" (NYMag has more photos in their slideshow if you can't get enough of what that smorgasbord looked like). more ›

Since the first Sex and the City movie took in around $400 million, was there ever any question that a second was was around the corner? Writer and director Michael Patrick King has now confirmed it, and that all four leading ladies will be back on the big screen come summer 2010 (which means it will be impossible to escape Carrie & Co. for the next year). The Village Voice is taking some guesses as to how the sequel will play out ("Big's salary is capped at $500,000!"), but NYMag doesn't think another tragedy is in store after King explained to E!: "In the last movie, I thought (fans) wanted to see an epic and violently tragic love story, and drama, but I don't think you go to that candy store twice." Coming in 2011: the Sex and the City prequel? 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!

In the Sex and the City movie, Mr. Big promises to build Carrie a bigger closet, but life doesn't imitate art for Mr. Big's portrayer Chris Noth. Apparently you can find his unwanted odds and ends at the Cutting Room, the bar he co-owns with Steven Walter. Walter tells gossip reporter Jo Piazza, "He cleans out his apartment, especially now that he is a dad, and he just dumps it all here. We have a lamp on the bar that Chris' girlfriend didn't like. Who has a lamp on their bar? It's an ugly lamp." more ›

A shoe boutique on Long Island is causing some controversy with their Sex and the City signage. Newsday reports that Steven Dann, owner of the shop in Great Neck Plaza, is offering items seen in the movie -- shoes, belts and bags with hefty price tags reaching the $4,000 range. more ›

Hollywood is apparently shocked that women can affect box office sales; Variety notes that after Sex and the City opened this weekend to the tune of $55.7 million, it shattered "decades-old thinking that females -- particularly older ones --can’t fuel the sort of big opening often enjoyed by a male-driven event pic or family movie." Way to go ladies? more ›

Savage Grace tells the decadent true story of Brooks Baekeland (Stephen Dillaine), heir to a plastics company fortune, and his impulsive wife Barbara (Julianne Moore) as they fall apart all over Europe in the ‘50s and ‘60s. The Times’s A.O. Scott deems it “oppressive”: “Bisexuality! Marijuana! Anal sex! A father who sleeps with his son’s girlfriend! A son who sleeps with his mother’s boyfriend! All of great intrinsic interest, to be sure, but Savage Grace doesn’t seem quite sure of how to communicate its own fascination with such doings, whether to convey shock, envy, pity or bemusement.” more ›
