Remember that episode of Sex and the City where the girls meet in the park and Carrie is wearing lederhosen? Yeah, it didn’t work then, either. The traditional Bavarian clothing seemed a motif on the runway for Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo, and although Asian fashion is known for unconventional, sometimes contextually mashed style, I’m not too sure it’s going to take the stores by storm.

Fans of Sex And The City know that since his introduction in Season 5 is Miranda’s son, Brady. Well, take a look at the picture at left: Brady is back. And big! Hopefully, Sex And The City 2 will answer the question fans have been wondering for years: Now that Miranda And Steve are married, is Brady’s name still Brady Hobbes? Or, as some fear, is it actually Brady Brady? Only time will tell. Click below for more pictures of Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon on set… More »

Every now and again it is important to take a minute admire those aging actors and actresses who have managed to preserve their youthful exuberance and classic beauty despite years of parenting, working in Hollywood, and relationships with heroin addicts; case in point - Sarah Jessica Parker.
The forty-four year old mother of three looks absolutely stunning in her white dress on the set of Sex and the City 2, the sequel to the film that put American Idol winner Jennifer Hudson on the map as a serious actress. The movie is set to premiere in May of 2010 and might even feature some beautiful New York faces as well, thanks to the open casting call that took place earlier this month…
[Photos via Getty]. Yesterday people from all walks of life (how appropriate for NYC) waited in line for hours for the Sex and the City movie sequel’s open casting call at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Amidst declarations of, “Are you a Carrie?” and “I have a Mr. Big!” (who doesn’t) the patient hopefuls put their best, high heel-clad feet forward for a shot at appearing in the second installment of the epic series-cum-movie. Cheesy? Maybe a tad, but probably not too much worse than having seen every episode about five times, the late night reruns almost as fun as the first viewing. We’ll let this crowd have their day, and from GofG to you, best of luck. If your footwear helped seal the deal, it might just very well be the best $2k you’ve ever spent. More »

If you’re female, gay, into fashion, have a girlfriend, or are one of the straight, single men who secretly tune in every week to the New York phenomenon that is Gossip Girl, then you have probably classified every female you know into one of two categories: Serena or Blair. Since the writers of Gossip Girl have now decided to keep us in suspense for weeks at a time in between episodes (not to mention the plot lines that are becoming more and more mediocre), we now need to supplement ourselves with GG extras like this. New York City is stock full of the show’s wannabes. Whether you identify with the hippie-boho-chic blond or the preppy-bow-sporting schemer we have some ways for you to figure out one of the big questions in life so you’re not up all night tossing and turning: Are you a Serena or a Blair? Because seriously, Which SATC character are you? is like so 5 years ago.
