Who's Hotter: The Cougar or the Minor?
With all of the celeb cameos—Penélope Cruz, Liza Minnelli and now Miley Cyrus—is there even going to be any damn plot in Sex and the City 2? Seriously, we're starting to get concerned this movie is going to be more about star power and less about our fave characters back on the big screen.
Most recently Kim Cattrall and Miley shot a red carpet scene together where they are caught wearing the same dress. Samantha (Kim's character for any of you living under a rock) has always tried to hold onto her youth, what with dating her gorgeous, much younger dude played by Jason Lewis, so we can only assume this scene is supposed to embarrass cougar-licious Sam for wearing the same thing a 16-year-old is.
Uh, but is anyone thinking of the flip side here?
In the Closet: Unsexy in the City
According to this photo of Kim Cattrall on the set in New York, evidently there's an '80s flashback in the Sex and the City sequel—but is it a fantasy flashback? Because we certainly don't recall anyone ever dressing in these hideous duds back then.
Sarah Jessica Parker had her own retro makeover for the movie, but while SJP's outfit is sorta demure (especially for Carrie Bradshaw), they threw all the crazy on poor Kimmy C.
We totally can't imagine Kim's saucy, sex-loving Samantha Jones slumming it in a trashy getup like this—unless, of course, Samantha was a hooker in the '80s. Totally possible.
For Kim's sake, let's hope Pat Fields and the costume department give Cattrall a helluva better wardrobe in the present-day scenes than they did in the first big-screen flick. While the other girls were sleeker and more sophisticated, Samantha's duds were uncharacteristically frumpy and over-the-top. Stereotypically cougariffic and not sexy at all.
So is half the movie gonna be in the '80s, or will it just be a quickie scene? Who cares, the bigger mystery is how much CGI they're gonna need to make all four women appear 20 years younger.
Kim Cattrall Asked to Paw Off Fur in SATC 2
Animal rights activists tracked down Kim Cattrall in NYC last week and kindly asked that the fab onscreen foursome restrain from wearing fur (of any kind, fake or otherwise) in the upcoming Sex and the City sequel. Some groups feel the antifur ladies who threw paint on Samantha in the first flick were portrayed in a “negative” light. So did Kim blow off the request so nicely made?
Not at all. We’re told Cattrall was “very sympathetic and understanding” to the group and she would see what she could do. Glad to know K.C. is no Mary-Kate Olsen, but who knows if executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker will be as keen on the totally antifashionista idea. What do you all think? Will no fuzzy stuff take away from the ferocious getups in the second flick?
Could Sex Sequel Be Even Sexier?
Every femme and fagola must be raising his-and-her martini glasses in ecstasy now that the Sex and the City sequel's a go.
But what can we expect? Will Carrie be shopping at Payless instead of Prada, since we're in a recession? That's not a romantic comedy, that's straight up horror. We asked Sarah Jessica Parker what we can expect in Sex 2, 'cause we can't wait until 2010:
"[Sarah] is a producer, like last time," says her rep. OK, so what else? How about plot points? Big dies, right? "The script has not been written yet."
Jeez, Michael Patrick King's taking so effing long at shooting out another on, we put together storylines for what the quartet of lovely older ladies should be up against in the sequel. See if you agree:
Mixed Signals From the Sex Sequel?
While Twilight's the sequel du jour on everyone's lips nowadays, we'd much prefer to return (for a break, at least) to part-two gab on Sex and the City. Kim Cattrall dished that the second big-screen Sex is definitely on, and Sarah Jessica Parker said shooting next summer looks "realistic" for the film to be out by 2010. Are Kim and SJP gabbing too soon? 'Cause it doesn't look so good when we talked to the movie's male castmembers...
Chris Noth told us he doesn't "think it's gonna happen," and Evan Handler is at a loss, too. "I don't know anything about it but what I hear in the press," Ev told us at a recent L.A. fete. "I have no idea whether it will happen or not."
Should we be worried that this is the end of Sex?
