Sex and the City 2 to Cancel Filming?

 

Is it true that there’s a storm brewing in the horizon?  SJP and Kim Cattrall, both stressed on the set, still can’t get along?  Crew says filming is not anymore fun and is always awkward.

 

 

According to OK! magazine, the feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall isn’t over, and is actually threatening to derail production on the new movie. 

A source told the mag: “While the cast is all smiles on the outside, the level of dislike is unbelievable. No-one is having a good time on this shoot.”

 

 

On top of this, Sarah Jessica Parker seems to be struggling to balance her role as Carrie Bradshaw with her duties as a mother to son James and new twins Marion and Tabitha.

“The crew have taken to calling her ‘Carrie Sadshaw’. When she doesn’t have to be ‘on’ in her scenes, she looks so sad,” added the source.

 

Kim Cattrall is lashing out reports that she and her “Sex and the City” co-stars don’t get along on the set, but admits she doesn’t want to spend her time off the set with them.

The actress has been quoted by marieclaire.co.uk as saying, “Do you get along with your colleagues all the time? If you’re spending 18 hours a day at work, the last thing you want to do is go and have a drink with the people who you just spend the day with. You just need to get away.”

Cattrall, 51, also defended her action of why she asked for a bigger paycheck in the upcoming movie of the hit HBO TV show. She admitted she complained about the difference in wages between the show’s main star Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the girls, but she insisted she deserves a better offer, as co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon also do.

She said, “I never expected to be paid what Sarah was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don’t ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued.”

 

Is there going to be a flashback scene?  That should be fun.

 

 

New Line Cinema’s Sex and The City 2 Began Filming in New York

 

 

Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda take another bite out of The Big Apple.

 

TMZ has been showing a lot of spoilers on their show.  For instance, their paparazzi hounded Kim Cattrall wearing a wedding gown.

 

“Sex and the City 2,” the sequel to the 2008 summer blockbuster, has begun principal photography in—where else?—New York City.  Returning in their starring roles as the four great friends are Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.  “It’s a great privilege to be spending time again with this beloved cast and crew and to be filming in New York City,” says Parker.  “We look forward to the next few months of this adventure.”

 

 

Of course, where would these women be without their men?  Also back for the much-anticipated sequel are Chris Noth as Mr. Big, David Eigenberg as Steve, Evan Handler as Harry, Jason Lewis as Smith, Mario Cantone as Anthony and Willie Garson as Stanford Blatch.

 

“Sex and the City 2” also reunites the original creative team from the series and the first feature.  Michael Patrick King is once again directing from his own screenplay.  States King, “We are thrilled to have the luxury to continue to tell the story of these four iconic women characters: Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha.  We will do our best to entertain the loyal fans who were so supportive of the first movie.”

 

 

King is also producing with John Melfi, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Darren Star.  The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Marcus Viscidi.  Also returning will be director of photography John Thomas, production designer Jeremy Conway, composer Aaron Zigman and costume designer Patricia Field.

 

Set to be released in theaters June next year, “Sex and the City 2” is the follow-up to the first film, which pulled in more than $415 million worldwide.  The original film was inspired by the phenomenally popular, award-winning HBO series based on the writings of Candace Bushnell.

 

 

The majority of filming will take place in and around the city of New York.

 

New Line Cinema presents “Sex and the City 2.”  Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, will be distributing the film worldwide.

 

I hope Carrie’s fashion fares better this time around.  The rest of the group had better styling than Carrie in the first installment.

 

American Idol Season 8 Finale

 

 

There is a new American Idol and it’s Kris Allen.  KRIS ALLEN, ladies and gentlemen.

 

Gotta give props to Adam Lambert because he was really a superstar all throughout the competition and he brought AI to a whole new level –singing and stage presence –wise.

Kris Allen despite missing some key notes in Kara DioGuardi’s written song, No Boundaries, triumphs as the last man standing in Season 8 of American Idol.  Even if Adam did a better performance hitting the notes, I feel that Kris’ acoustic rock voice suits the song better than Adam’s mellow Aerosmith voice.

Other than the star-studded guest list that includes Kiss and Queen, Kara DioGuardi made the season finale more memorable with an epic showdown between her and “bikini girl” Katrina Darrell.  Not so long ago during the auditions, Kara pointed out that Katrina didn’t hit the right notes.  Katrina made a sarcastic rebuttal that distressed Kara to showing her how it’s properly done.

At the end of the singing duel, Kara unveiled her bikini body by unbuttoning her trench dress to flash a black string bikini she had on underneath.  Ryan commented that by flashing the world at the end of the song, Kara won a bet and a donation to charity.

In other news, Hayden Christensen (no, not the infamous local doctor with scandalous videos) and Djimon Honsou stars in Mandrake the Magician adaptation.  Anakin Skywalker of Star Wars is supposed to do the lead role in the film “Mandrake.”  MTV news however reports that a representative from Hayden’s camp denies that he has anything to do with the film. 

 

The movie co-star Djimon Honsou will follow Hayden’s character, an “underground magician and escapologist” who is approached by the CIA to do some work after “a daring escape from an SUV that has been dropped out of an plane at the Burning Man Festival.  Hounsou will presumably be taking on the role of Mandrake’s assistant, Lothar.  I love Djimon Honsou in Blood Diamond and I cannot wait to see another film with him in it.

 

The Zeitgeist and Moon movies are the two movies I want to watch soon.  Have you seen Zeitgeist?
