(Why the long face?)

Get it, you guys?  The caption was a reference to Sarah Jessica Parker looking like a horse.  Haha, good one, Jay.  Anyway, this is the first picture of SJP in Sex and the City 2.  Clearly she’s looking off screen, licking her lips at the shirtless, 23-year-old Dominican landscaper who’s going to help her get her groove back, as soon as he finishes trimming her bushes.  Trimming her bush — it’s symbolically suggestive, you see.  And then Samantha comes in and she’s all, “Sweetie, you’ve really gotta do something about that old, dirty clam of yours,” and everyone laughs and starts dilling each other.  Chicks are weird.

Above you’ll find the trailer for Columbia Pictures’ Did You Hear About The Morgans?, starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. From the looks of things, this appears to be the Oscar vehicle both Grant and Parker have desperately been waiting for. The pair play a fledgeling married couple on the brink of divorce, when they are suddenly forced into the Witness Protection Program after watching a murder take place. Deeply thought out dialogue ensues as the two learn that they have been relocated to the small town of…Ray, Wyoming?! *sad trombone*

Not that there was really any doubt after the first one made $400 million dollars, but the Sex and the City sequel is now set to go forward, with all four actresses and the director signing deals with the studio.

There’s no green light and no start date yet for the sequel, but expect things to gel quickly, and don’t be surprised if there’s a 2010 offering on the Warners/New Line slate, say sources.

The “Sex and the City” movie made $400 million worldwide last year and more than $150 million in the U.S., as well as singlehandedly causing a spike in the Kleenex Corporations profits in 2008. [THR]

Aw, sick!  You mean to tell me there’s dudes out there whackin it to these old broads?  That’s just nasty.  …hold on, my assistant’s trying to tell me something… Oh, I see, because of the crying… Yeah, that makes way more sense.

There was a flood of Sex and the City sequel news going around yesterday after an interview Kim Cattrall did in the U.K.  I’m not sure why it was such big news, since I reported that a sequel was in development a few months ago.  Anyway, now Sarah Jessica Parker is getting in on the action, and by getting in on the action, I mean sounding like a huge buzzkill:

“I’m thrilled to know Kim is excited but all the deals are not yet done. With ‘the wind on our heels,’ we hope to make it a reality,” Parker said in her statement to Access.

Why are there quotes around “Wind on our heels”?  Is that a Bette Midler song or some shit?

Earlier in the day, “SATC” fans were sent into a frenzy when quotes from Cattrall’s interview on the UK’s “The Paul O’Grady Show” were published, indicating Carrie Bradshaw and the gang were locked in for a sequel to the summer blockbuster. “We will do the sequel next summer,” Cattrall said on the show, according to the BBC.
In her interview, Kim noted that it had been “difficult getting everybody who’s so incredibly busy all together at the same time.”
The actress also dismissed rumors of a reported feud on the set amongst the cast. [MSNBC]

That’s funny, because this sounds exactly like what would happen if a couple old, catty bitches were feuding. One wants to do the movie, one wants to hold out for money, and in the middle of it they both do interviews saying it’s all going exactly how they want it to. Man, how sexy would this cat fight have been like 30 years ago?

Alt. Headline: WOMEN BE SHOPPIN! 

Sex and the City made a buttload of money and the actors in it don’t do anything else, so it comes as a big shock that HBO has confirmed that a sequel is in development.  The best part of this is that EW has a comments section.  It’s nice, because so often I see something on the news and think, “Huh.  I wonder what a braindead harpy would think about this.”  And now I know!  Thanks, EW!  It’s like the loveless marriage I was never trapped in!

Yay!!! I loved the movie, and can’t wait for the sequel! I agree, Big needs to be a really good husband–they NEED to let him and Carrie be happy! Can’t wait to see what this fantastic team comes up with next!

I would love to see another SATC film, as long as Big DOESN’T cheat, divorce or disappoint Carrie again. Enough already! Can we please make a movie where he’s a good husband?

Amen, sister!  I mean, why can’t they make a film with no plot or conflict?  It works great on Entourage.  YAY!! Another pool scene!!
