ON 'SEX' AND DEATH "It’s just a bad, bad, bad rumor. It's an upsetting rumor that Michael [Patrick King] would be like, 'Yes, we’re going to work for four years to get the movie made and then Charlotte, who has wanted to have a baby her whole entire life, is going to die in childbirth.' Like, he’s not that sadistic, you know? And I’m really glad he’s not. He’s a little bit … but he’s not that mean. I mean, that would be bad."
The women on Sex and the City hate each other even more than the terrorists hate them and their freewheeling, leg-baring ways. You know this and we know this, which means the producers behind the SATC movie definitely know this. Knowing this, why do the producers seem to intentionally divide the stars even further? Publicity, m'man! Because kinship and harmony don't mean dick when it comes to profits.
Headlining the Sex and the City movie has its perks: adoring fans, characters that fit like a glove, slipping into the latest fashions and then keeping the clothes. Right? Right?
Not so fast! Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall were shocked—shocked—when they actually couldn't collect their fashionable duds.
"It's in the contract that we get to keep our outfits, which is a fantastic thing, except that, for me, all of my outfits were samples," Davis told E! News this week, at the movie's press day. "I kept my running pants, which I love and wear them a lot, but I was like, Where are my clothes?"
…
As for Sarah Jessica Parker, she kept everything that wasn't borrowed, just like back in Sex's heyday. "I had done that over the course of the series," she revealed. And it turned out to be très beneficial to have Carrie Bradshaw's "vintage" clothes during one of the movie's key montages."I got to keep almost everything," said Cynthia Nixon.
If the theme song for Sex and the City: The Movie is any indication of the direction in which the film goes, count us out.
Mostly gone are the familiar, jazzy percussives of the television show's theme. They've been supplanted by overbearing electronicism, courtesy of human hump Fergie. And the lyrics! "Don't cry, buy a bag and get over it" is one; "I know that my credit card will help me put out the flames" is another. It's almost as if Sex and the City isn't really about empowering women the way its marketing says it is.
After the jump, hear all about how sad women should shop.

How do you get four feuding co-stars to appear in the same magazine when they don’t even want to be in the same room with each other? Shoot four different covers!
KEEPING QUIET "Cynthia Nixon, known for her role as feisty attorney Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City, revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. … Nixon said she kept her diagnosis private because [she] 'didn't want paparazzi at the hospital.'"
WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!?!?! " … Sarah Jessica Parker [and] her co-stars Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon … dismissed talk of past feuds when they signed on to make the avidly awaited [Sex and the City] movie sequel. But many took notice that Parker was seated at a separate table from her co-stars at a gala Monday night. While Parker shared pleasantries with Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, Davis, Nixon and Cattrall sat together, away from her … " Why don't these catty women want to be together at all times?
The Sex and the City movie won't premiere until next month, but the four stars are already gearing up the publicity machine by getting into more petty catfights.
This time it's not Kim Cattrall being shunned — it's Sarah Jessica Parker, who had the audacity to get offers of designer dresses to wear to the movie's May premiere. One label even went so far as to make a deal with SJP: Wear the designer's clothes to the bash, and Sarah Jessica's son will be stocked with a lifetime supply of outfits.
Naturally, this has made the other three ladies jealous — because why act mature and recognize that Carrie is the star of the show when you can get angry over a petty situation? As a result, a source says the women are refusing to arrive at the premiere in the same white limo.
There is huge rivalry about who is wearing what. It's insane. … Now they have demanded that they have their own individual cars so each star can have their own five minutes on the carpet with all eyes on them — rather than SJP getting all the attention. It's turning into a logistical nightmare.
Here's the good news: These ladies serve as role models for a vast majority of single women in their 20s.

SEX AND THE SECRETS Dilemma! "[Sarah Jessica Parker] is concerned that if [Sex and the City: The Movie] premiered [at Cannes], about 1-2 weeks before it opened both around the world and in the U.S, the hush-hush ending could slip out. 'That’s a big deal for those women and men who really stuck with us, who don't want to know the ending. It's not life altering. It won't help humankind. But it for those fans who don't want to know things early.'"
Kristin Davis, the Sex and the City actress responsible for kicking off this week's sex tape/photo scandals, is still denying it's her in the pictures that have been making the rounds on the Internet. At this point she's the only one who thinks it isn't her in the photos, because we all have eyes.
But the biggest mystery involves the anonymous man also starring in the pictures — and why they are just now being released (besides, of course, to drum up publicity for the SATC movie). Page Six has identified the man as Eric Stapleman, a Santa Fe "no-scent" restaurant owner. Which kind of automatically makes him a tool.
Stapleman is claiming he gave the photos to a friend because he was mad at Kristin. Naturally. Then someone stole the shots from said friend, and voila! Instant publicity for a middle-aged has-been.

CHARLOTTE IS A LADY "Monday afternoon, some fuzzy — and certainly not safe for work — photos began to spread like wildfire on the Internet claiming to be shots of Sex and the City star Kristin Davis caught in the middle of a very private act. … 'This is not a photo of Kristin Davis,' a rep for the actress tells OK!. 'There is no sex tape.'"

Kim Cattrall, Sex and the City's sluttiest promiscuous one, has benevolently arranged for all the fur coats she wore in the upcoming SATC movie to be donated to PETA. The notorious animal rights group plans on ruining the coats with red paint before donating them to the homeless.
Of course, they could not ruin them, sell them as collectibles at auction and, instead of stained coats, donate tens of thousands of dollars to the homeless, but PETA doesn't use their brains. It's what makes them less than the animals they so love.
