Miley Cyrus to appear in 'Sex and the City' sequel

It's official: Miley Cyrus will appear in the Sex and the City sequel. The latest script for the film has Cyrus in a one-scene cameo, playing herself.

A rumor has it that Cyrus will be wearing the same dress to a red carpet event as resident Sex star Kim Catrall, who purchased the dress to "look young." Cyrus is set to film her scene next month, and the film hits theaters next May.

Sex and the City 2 is currently filming in New York City, where fans have repeatedly gathered to try and catch story spoilers. Some believe that the stars of the film sometimes try and throw people off by wearing or carrying clues.

Catrall was recently photographed on the set wearing a wedding dress, leading some to speculate that she'll become the last of the four to get married.

Sarah Jessica nicknamed Carrie Sadshaw

All is not going well in the Sex and The City shoot out in Glen Cove on Long Island we hear.
Reports from the set claim that Sarah Jessica has been nicknamed "Carrie Sadshaw" and that the rift between her and Kim Cattrall has descended into all-out war.
Insiders claim that the two are not talking to each other and that their co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis now dread coming into work.
A source told Star Magazine: "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. "
"Kim has been taking every chance to snipe. You could cut the tension with a knife. Their fighting has also made Cynthia and Kristin miserable, too," the source added.
Parker is said to be under enormous stress as she juggles filming with he three children; six-year-old son James and baby twin daughters Marion and Tabitha.
The source said: "The crew have taken to calling her 'Carrie Sadshaw'. When she doesn't have to be 'on' in her scenes, she looks so sad."
The on-set tension clearly got the better of a toddler today who howled the whole way through his shoot with the glamorous foursome.The toddler, perched on Kristin Davis' knee, was inconsolable as the actresses filmed their scene.The toddler howled in between calls for "action" but the crew said the take would work out fine.They probably can only hope the feud between the two leading ladies can be so easily dealt with.

'Sex And The City' Sequel: Spoiler Alerts

While most film and TV scripts are closely guarded secrets, it's hard to stay super top secret when you are filming in the middle of America's most populous city. Thus, that's the challenge for the makers of the 'Sex and the City' sequel which is filming somewhere in NYC right now, and because the movie is out in the open, the rumor and spoiler mill is fiercely buzzing.

When we last left the fearsome foursome, Big and Carrie had gotten married after all, this time in a smaller, private wedding, instead of a public spectacle. Charlotte was happily married to Harry and gives birth to a sister to her adopted daughter. Samantha had beaten cancer and broken up with her hot boyfriend, Smith, and has moved from Malibu to New York. And Miranda had reconciled with Steve, after learning he cheated on her. By the end, they are all one big happy family again.

But movies can't happen without conflict. Here's what we know about the sequel, gleaned from the Interwebs (what did people do before the Interwebs, we wonder?) Major spoiler alert. Major.

Miley Cyrus to Make Sex And The City Cameo?

Miley Cyrus is set to make a cameo appearance in the eagerly-awaited Sex and The City movie sequel, according to reports.
The Hannah Montana star, 16, is scheduled to film her part on Oct. 16, reports America’s Life & Style magazine.

“They’ve asked her,” says an insider. “But she hasn’t confirmed. Right now, they’re just holding the space for her.”

It was reported in August that the teen queen sees appearing alongside the show’s leading ladies — Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon — as a way of becoming a serious actress.

“Miley sees this as a transition from teen stardom to more adult roles,” dished a Hollywood insider.

“We’re all wondering how long it will take Kim to have Miley knocking back Cosmos and ogling all the men. Seriously though, all the girls are excited to have Miley on board.”

Sex and The City 2 is due out next May.

Sex and the City Girls Reunite

Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes), Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) were photographed together for the first time on the NYC set Tuesday.

Parker, 44, was first photographed on the set a week ago in a white Halston Heritage dress, Chanel clutch and sparkling Christian Louboutin gold pumps. Later, she filmed what is believed to be a flashback scene, as she was decked out in '80s gear, including sneakers and big hair.

In addition to shooting scenes with Chris Noth (Mr. Big), she also filmed with Nixon, 43. Cattrall, 53, was also spotted on the set.

The sequel of sex and the city is scheduled to hit theaters on May 28, 2010.

Secrets from Sex and the City Sequel

What's better than a bunch of sex secrets?

London's Mirror reportedly got their hands on a page of the script from Sex and the City 2 -- and it looks like Kim Cattrall's cancer-surviving Samantha is fighting a new battle this time around.

And this battle is called menopause!

"I'm going to need you to go on a testosterone run," Samantha, with a bottle of hormone pills on her desk, tells assistant Meghan, according to the paper.

"I'll do it first thing tomorrow," Meghan reportedly replies.

"Said the 24-year-old. I'll call the pharmacy and tell them you are on your way," Samantha steps in.

Looking at Kim (wow!), you would never think she is old enough to be going through her changes -- but, apparently, nature doesn't know that she's still a hottie.

Wanna know another inside tidbit?

Well, Samantha may have broken up with young and devoted Smith Jerrod in the first film, but she's definitely still talking to him -- at least on the phone -- in the follow-up.

Menopause, love, shoes, young boys, Mr. Big -- what more could you ask for in a sequel?

Sarah Jessica Parker Brings Twins to Work

As if having Carrie Bradshaw as a mom didn't make them the coolest girls on the playground, now Sarah Jessica Parker's twins have even more bragging rights--they've got front row seats to Sex and the City 2 filming.

Click here for shots of Parker and her twins on set in New York City!

Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge, both arriving in the Parker/Matthew Broderick household on June 22 via surrogate, were spotted under the car of a nanny in a double stroller, napping in pink blankets.

We suspect the sheer proximity to Sex's wardrobe closet and costumer Patricia Field will inspire the ability to walk (and accessorize!) for the two little ones.

Sex And The City Sequel Filming In The Big Apple

The always lovely Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth were snapped Tuesday on the set of their upcoming Sex And The City 2,
currently filming on New York's Upper East Side.

Behind the scenes of Sex And The City 2: See more photos!

Parker sported a frizzy do, resembling Glenn Close's Fatal Attraction character (sans the bunny). The cosmopolitan, Louboutin-clad cutie sported a number of different looks, continuing the stream of trend-setting fashions her character, Carrie Bradshaw, is renown for.

The storyline for the “Sex” Sequel is being kept under wraps – but in one scene, Carrie was not sporting a wedding ring –
leading to speculation that maybe there’s once again trouble in paradise with Big.

As any true “Sex” fan knows, the pair tied the knot at the close of the first Sex and the City movie after Big left her at the
altar.

The first Sex And The City grossed more than $400 million last summer –making it one of the year's biggest box office hits.

The highly-anticipated sequel, also starring Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall, hits theatres May 28, 2010.

Sex and the City needs a new hunk?

With the second 'Sex and the City' film due to begin shooting in a few weeks, it appears that Gilles Marini will not be reprising his role as Samantha Jones' (Kim Cattrall) neighbour Dante.
Speaking to E! Online, the actor's representative said: "As far as I know, he will not be in the sequel."
Marini is currently filming a guest role for 'Brothers & Sisters' in which he will play Sarah Walker's (Rachel Griffiths) love interest.
In the next season of 'Nip/Tuck' Marini will appear as Dr Erica Noughton's (Vanessa Redgrave) younger husband.
He is also working on an album.

Cameron Diaz dating 'Sex and the City' star

Hollywood star Cameron Diaz seems to have no dearth of suitors since her split from model Paul Sculfor. The blonde beauty has now been seen getting cosy with 'Sex And The City' star Jason Lewis.

The 37-year-old 'Charlie's Angels' star and the heartthrob were having an intimate dinner at a sushi restaurant in Venice Beach, when their display of affection caught the attention of the fellow diners, reported Contactmusic.

"Cameron an d Justin were sitting in the corner of Shima totally wrapped up in one another. They couldn't stop touching each other. And we couldn't stop looking, " said an onlooker.

The couple have reportedly been friends for several years, but it is only in recent weeks that Diaz, who has been romantically linked with Maroon 5 star Adam Levine and actors Jude Law and Leonardo DiCaprio, and the 38-year-old former model have started a relationship.

Gilles Marini: Not Coming Back for More Sex

We just got confirmation that it doesn't look like our favorite Frenchman, Gilles Marini, will be reprising his role as Samantha Jones' very well-endowed Malibu neighbor in the follow-up to the Sex and the City movie.

"As far as I know, he will not be in the sequel," Marini's rep says.

The much anticipated SATC 2 begins shooting in a couple of weeks or so.

Marini, 33, has made no secret of wanting to return…

SATC writer and director Michael Patrick King not only sent Marini congratulatory text messages during his stint on Dancing With the Stars, he even attended one of the performance shows.
Marini told me of taking going shirtless during his paso doble with partner Cheryl Burke, "I said, 'Cheryl, I'm talking my shirt off. I want to show Michael I'm still in shape.' I know he is writing beautiful things lately, and maybe he could put me in one of his projects."

But it's not like Marini is sitting home waiting for a new gig. He's currently shooting a spot on Brothers & Sisters in which he plays a love interest to Sarah Walker (Rachel Griffiths).

"Call time 6 am. We are shooting at beautiful Disney ranch," Marini tweeted on Monday. "Never been there yet. I am ready."

Just two days before, he simply posted, "Rachel Griffiths = Brilliant."

He'll also pop up on next season's Nip/Tuck as the younger, bad-boy husband of Julia's mom, played by Vanessa Redgrave.

In addition to acting, Marini is also working on an album.

Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall and Mr Bigamy

Being an un-gay bloke, I never much cared for Sex And The City. Not my cup of tea, ducky...
So, like any self-respecting male, I wasnt anticipating British-born Kim Cattralls Who Do You Think You Are? with any particular excitement.

How wrong was I? Unravelling the mysterious disappearance of her grandfather George Baugh, Kim delivered this outstanding BBC productions best-ever episode.

I think its going to end in tears, sighed the engaging actress, whose Liverpudlian family emigrated to Canada when she was six leaving behind them a heartbreaking story of wicked betrayal.

But with great dignity, Kim didnt cry. Even when she discovered that the man who abandoned her mother Shane and her two sisters when they were little girls was a shameless bigamist who simply married again and had more children.

Son of a bitch, hissed Kim.

Electrifying telly as Kim revealed the damning evidence and Shane who, at the age of eight, watched her dad walk out on her for ever spat: You selfish bastard.

No happy ending. But what a story!

Holmes not to act in 'Sex and the City'

Rumors that Katie Holmes has been offered a role in the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel has been shot down.

Holmes was alleged to be the favorite to land a part as a feisty businesswoman rivalling Kim Cattrall's character Samantha Jones in a follow-up to the 2008 box office smash.

According to insider, "The character they want Holmes to play is a really ballsy, high-powered company executive who tangles with Samantha."

But her representatives are baffled by the reports, insisting there is "no truth" to the claims, according to GossipCop.com.

The sequel to Sex and the City movie is expected to begin shooting in late August or early September and is scheduled to be released in theaters sometime in 2010.

Kristin Davis's dating celebrity photographer Russell James- will she let the sparks fly?
The Sex And The City star was seen dining with the Australian photographer and another pal at Katsuya Brentwood in LA.

'She was all smiles,' says an onlooker. 'A little giddy.'

Kristin, 44, joined James at a party to celebrate his photography book launch at the grand reopening of Santa Monica's Shangri-Lahotel in June.

'It's been going on for a bit now,' a source tells People. 'She's very supportive of him – she seems very happy.'

Kristin Davis Has a New Man

Kristin Davis and her Sex and the City character, Charlotte, may have both been unlucky in love at one time or another, but it seems Davis has now found a match in celebrity photographer Russell James.

"It's been going on for a bit now," says a source close to the actress. "She's very supportive of him – she seems very happy."

On July 20, the pair joined another pal at Katsuya Brentwood for dinner in Los Angeles. James and Davis, 44, sat in an intimate booth, sharing one very small side of a bench, and were affectionate throughout dinner, says a witness. Davis rested her head against his shoulder.

"She was all smiles," says the onlooker. "A little giddy." The duo walked out quietly, trying to keep a low profile, with Davis grabbing James's hand for a second as they headed up the steps.

In June, Davis joined James at a party to celebrate his new photography book at the grand reopening of Santa Monica's Shangri-La hotel. "They hung out at the party and were definitely a little flirty even in public. They seemed like an item," said an observer at the time.

Katie Price auditions for new Sex and the City movie

Katie Price is hoping to land a role in the new Sex and the City movie.

The glamour queen, 31 – who has spent thousands of pounds on acting classes in the US – has even been tested for the part.

She said: “I recently went to LA where I was doing my acting lessons for Sex and the City Part 2. They want a big-breasted English glamour girl and I have had the audition.”

Katie, better known as Jordan, also accused husband Peter Andre of using their split to plug his album, on which he sings of his break-up torment.

She told Galaxy FM radio station: “It doesn’t make sense that while he was with me he recorded horrible songs like that.”

The Ugly Truth -- Film Review

Bottom Line: Hit-and-miss comedy delivers the unsurprising news that opposites attract.In the past year, movies aimed primarily at women -- including "Sex and the City," "He's Just Not That Into You" and "The Proposal" -- have scored at the boxoffice, demonstrating the potency of an underserved audience as well as the value of counterprogramming.

The latest chick flick, "The Ugly Truth," may not scale the boxoffice heights achieved by some of these films. But with clever appeal to the guys as well as the girls, it seems likely to become a medium-size hit for Columbia. Robert Luketic directed two other successful female-oriented comedies, "Legally Blonde" and "Monster-in-Law," and while this film is unfortunately closer in
quality to the latter than the former, it has just enough laughs to squeak by.

"Truth" hopes to add a raunchier spin to the Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedies, such as "Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back," which focused on two professional rivals who hate each other at first sight and only gradually recognize the attraction simmering beneath their hostility. Katherine Heigl plays Abby, the producer of a morning TV show in Sacramento that is struggling in the ratings. The station manager decides to add a new face to the mix -- Mike (Gerard Butler), a late-night cable TV personality who has won notoriety for his blunt commentaries on why lovesick women don't understand men's animal needs. Abby detests everything that the
macho Mike represents, but she is forced to work with him when his segment called "The Ugly Truth" becomes a hit with viewers.

Along the way, she realizes that her own love life could use some improvement, and maybe Mike's insights into the male psyche can help her to land the handsome doctor (Eric Winter) who lives next door. It takes a while for her to perceive that her true soulmate is sitting right across the TV console.
The script by Nicole Eastman, Karen McCullah Lutz, and Kirsten Smith (the latter two also wrote "Legally Blonde") is wildly uneven.

The best scenes are those in which Mike coaches Abby on how to inflame the doctor's interest, and she grudgingly comes to appreciate his savvy intuitions. On the other hand, the TV broadcasts are way too crude; even in a time of relaxed standards, it's hard to believe that Mike's sexually explicit rants would ever make it onto a network newscast. The big gross-out scene, in which Abby wrestles with a vibrator, also reeks of desperation.

The movie wastes an excellent supporting cast. John Michael Higgins and Cheryl Hines have promising roles as the married, perpetually squabbling anchors, but they don't get enough opportunity to demonstrate their comic chops. Kevin Connolly ("Entourage") has a too-brief scene as one of Abby's hapless blind dates. Only Bree Turner as Abby's ever-patient assistant gets a chance to shine.

A romantic comedy depends, of course, on the chemistry between the leads, and here the film is more successful. Both Heigl and Butler find the appeal in very flawed characters. It has been said that every memorable romantic movie requires a scene where the lovers dance together, and Luketic has staged an effervescent dance for the stars. Unfortunately, the director fails to do much with the setting. Sacramento is a pallid presence, indistinguishable from Peoria or Toledo. Even though the picture sputters and stumbles, it arrives at the ending that audiences crave.

Tossed-Kim Cattrall Splits With Chef Beau

Kim Cattrall has reportedly split from her long-term partner.
The 52-year-old actress' relationship with chef Alan Wyse – who is 20 years her junior - is said to have run its course after nearly five years together.

A source close to the couple told America’s OK! magazine: “It was a long time coming, they had some trouble in April and since then things have fizzled out.

“They realised they were at different points in their lives. They still care about each other and will remain friends.”

Meanwhile, Cattrall has been rocked by the news her maternal grandfather was a bigamist.
The ‘Sex and the City’ actress – who was born in England but moved to Canada when she was just three months old – discovered her grandfather George Baugh walked out on his family, leaving his wife and three daughters living in poverty in Liverpool, England.

Kim – who found out about his actions while taking part in British TV show ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’, which follows stars as they trace their family history - said: “My mother and aunties were never able to grieve the loss of their father and what they missed growing up. It's an event that defined my mother.
“But I was taken aback by how brazen my grandfather was in his bigamy. He started a second family just north of Liverpool, where my grandmother and his three small daughters were starving.

“I am still processing how I feel about my grandfather. I am terribly sad and I can't forgive him for what he did.”

Victoria Beckham is desperate about Sex and The City

According to multiple reports, Former Posh Spice Victoria Beckham is eyeing a cameo in Sex And The City sequel that’s out May 28, 2010.

According to British media, Victoria really wanted to get a part in the first Sex And The City movie back in 2007 but could not make her dream come true due to the Spice Girls’ reunion tour commitment.

Now as the sequel is in the works Viki wants to get a cameo portraying a fashionable woman, and “she’s keen to take part.”

If Beckham secures the role it will become her third movie experience. Previously she starred as herself in 1997’s Spice World and had a guest appearance on an episode of Ugly Betty.

'The Best And The Brightest' Films In 'Sex And The City'

Neil Patrick Harris alert! The Best and The Brightest starring NPH is filming on the Upper East Side of Manhattan today. The movie will be shooting a scene near E. 71 St and Madison Ave, about a block east of Central Park. The comedy, which has actually been filming in Philadelphia for the past few weeks, is about a young couple who have recently moved to Manhattan and suddenly realize the lengths they must go to in order to get their young daughter into a private kindergarten.

Today's filming location is also just around the corner from Lumi, 963 Lexington Ave, a small Italian restaurant that will seem familiar to Sex and the City fans. The scene in the movie where Charlotte runs into Big at a restaurant—that was at Lumi. And when she went into labor while arguing with Big, that was filmed on the street in front of Lumi.

Besides its big-screen notoriety, Lumi also offers classic Italian dishes at a reasonable price, well, reasonable for the UES anyway. Their dinner menu includes spaghetti with garlic, olive oil, tomato and red pepper for $19 and hand-made ravioli filled with veal in a wild mushroom sauce for $21.50.

'Bruno' a hit Down Under

"Bruno" has bowed in high style Down Under.

Sacha Baron Cohen's R-rated comedy about a fictional gay fashionista from Austria already has Australia in a tizzy. Universal opened "Bruno" in 213 theaters in Australia on Wednesday to take advantage of limited school holidays there and rang up AUS$1.7 million ($1.4 million).

That's the third-highest tally ever for a comedy release in the market, after 2004's "Meet the Fockers" and last year's "Sex and the City." "Bruno"carries a less-restrictive MA rating in Australia, meaning teens 15 and older can see the pic without an adult in tow.

Back in November 2006, Uni paid pic producer Media Rights Capital $42.5 million and also agreed to some backend commitments to acquire domestic rights to "Bruno," along with international distribution in eight territories. Fox -- which had just opened Baron Cohen's "Borat" successfully and went on to register $262 million in worldwide boxoffice on that film -- passed on the "Bruno" rights, saying the asking price was too rich.

Like the faux Kazakhstan journo in "Borat," the Bruno character is based on a sketch-comedy persona that Baron Cohen developed for television. His successful pitch to Uni was based on a story treatment developed around the Bruno character.

Uni execs figure a domestic bow of even $20 million or more will guarantee "Bruno" a profitable theatrical run. But prerelease tracking is solid, and the pic should open significantly higher than that.

Baron Cohen's first film -- 2002's "Ali G Indahouse" -- was also based on a sketch character, a white rapper from suburban London he called Ali G.

Prospect Park West: A New Sex And The City?

A possible new T.V. show, Prospect Park West, is being touted as baby-happy Sex and the City.
Listen up Brooklynites—your borough is one step closer to becoming another Sarah Jessica Parker-approved pop cultural cliche. I know you're thrilled! Pleased as punch. (Try to contain your excitement.) Sex And The City Creators At Odds Over New, Similar Follow-Up Shows

Amy Sohn—dating columnist for New York magazine—has penned a book, Prospect Park West, that follows the lives of (are you sitting down?) four women living in Brooklyn's Prospect Park brownstone area. Except instead of being gay men in fancy heels, these ladies are all married with babies—doing the whole housewife thing. We know, it just gets better and better. Married People Have Greener Grass

Sarah Jessica Parker has reportedly optioned this book and hopes to turn it into a television show. The four women are predictably complicated in an urban, hackneyed way.

There's "Lizzie" the sometime lesbian mommy (eye roll). "Rebecca," with the philandering husband (yawn), "Karen" is some sort of social ladder climber (snooze-button), and saving the best for last, is "Melora" who's neurotic with "psychiatric maladies" (could be interesting....).

Numerous reports have claimed it's "a mix of sex, parenthood and celebrity."

Translation: designer baby carriages, impossibly toned post-baby bodies and cameos by thirty-something C-listers who need the work. Sounds riveting.

Sex and City star Kristin Davis in hot water

IT WASN'T surprising to see Kristin Davis, the teetotaller of the Sex and the City clan, enjoying a glass of mineral water as she took in the winter sunshine at Catalina Restaurant, in Rose Bay, yesterday.

What was surprising is that Davis, best known for her role as Charlotte in the TV series, was sipping a well-known Italian brand of H20 rather than flavoured Glaceau Vitamin Water, which is sponsoring the mega party for which she was brought to Australia.

Looking chic in a classic cream trench, the dark-haired beauty enjoyed her harbourside lunch.

She will be the star guest at an exhibition of celebrity snapper Russell James's work at the Customs House, at Circular Quay, tonight.
