The $24,000 Sex and the City Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
If a simple bus tour wouldn’t be enough to quench your thirst for anything and everything Sex and the City, you can now do one better. For only $24,000, you can now live like the girls of the popular HBO show.
To celebrate the May 30th big screen debut, a company called Destination on Location will offer bored souls a way to experience someone else’s life.
For five nights, die-hard fans will travel to some of the characters’ favorite haunts. They will also receive products those four women frequently enjoyed. Stops will include a trip a trip to the SoHo House (remember when Samantha tried to get access to the exclusive club’s rooftop pool?), a shopping spree and cocktail party at Jimmy Choo, brunch at the same cafeteria the chatty ladies loved to dine in and access to the movie’s premiere on May 27th. (I’m assuming bucketloads of cosmopolitans will be served somewhere along this route.)

New Sex and the City Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Drama, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Finally - a more substantive glance at the upcoming Sex and the City Movie!
While I will undoubtedly watch the release, I must say the newest trailer gives the film a much darker tone than I would have liked to see. (You can view it for yourself, after the jump.) Is it because the show is best served on the small screen? Should the series only be viewed in 30-minute snippets? Is the teaser simply a bad representation? (Oh, I hope so.)
Regardless, the clip does give us a few juicy tidbits:
- Apparently Mr. Big’s (full) name is John James Preston. (I think I like him better when he’s not an actual person.)
- It looks like Steve may have cheated on Miranda. (The Steve I know would never do something like that.)
- Commitment-phobe Samantha may be wandering from Smith Jerrod.
- Charlotte is indeed pregant. (She adopted that kid for nothing.)
- And last but not least, Carrie’s planned wedding to Big falls apart?
Be looking for SATC to hit theaters this May 30.

HD DVD Owners Lose New Line, HBO
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Home Entertainment, Technology,
Just days after Warner Home Video announced it was abandoning HD DVD owners, others have chosen to jump ship.
HBO Home Video and New Line Home Entertainment will both be following their distribution partner’s lead and go completely Blu-ray. Up until now, the two companies had been releasing high-definition titles under both formats.
Those with the Toshiba system should probably make a point of purchasing The Sopranos (Season 6) and Pan’s Labyrinth to keep in their HD DVD time capsule.

‘Borat’ Schtick Officially Put to Rest
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Comedy, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Recognizing that its often best to get out early, Sacha Baron Cohen has decided to put two of his famous characters to rest. Both Ali G and Borat Sagdiyev - personas created almost 10 years ago - will now only be remembered in their prime.
Thanks to the exposure on HBO’s Da Ali G Show and last year’s Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the actor/comedian understands that he can no longer keep up the element of surprise. Fortunately for fans, this will allow Sacha, 36, to now focus his attention on new roles. In addition to his flashy cameo in the currently released Sweeney Todd, Cohen will later be seen in Bruno - a film revolving around the Austrian fashion reporter often featured on his former cable show.

Hope you’re sitting down for this news, Sex and the City fans. According to new rumors, the upcoming Sex and the City movie may be the first installment in a trilogy. That’s three times the sex. The movies will contain all four girls, of course, and all their various men – and what’s more Sexy than that?

A sequel option was included in all the stars’ movie contracts, an option which will be exercised for the succeeding two films.

‘Sex and the City’ Trailer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
The Sex and the City movie trailer has finally arrived, and it’s just as promising and exciting as fans could want. It begins with a voice-over and a wide, sweeping view of Manhattan, then quickly falls into an image free-for-all while the theme music blares invitingly. Quick screenshots flash past, showing images inside Carrie’s apartment, the four girls walking together, and a photo shoot where Carrie sports the much-touted wedding dress. As the music ends, the final scene shows a steamy kiss between Carrie and Mr. Big. All of it leads up to the promise that the movie will debut May of 2008.

‘Sex and the City’ Movie Books Big Guest Star
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Romance, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Little by little, news on the upcoming Sex and the City movie has made its way into the press. The latest rumor mill suggests that not only will the much-anticipated flick contain Mr. Big (Chris Noth), but a truly big guest star as well.
New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, will play himself in the movie, which is set primarily in Manhattan. The mayor will appear at Bryant Park in Manhattan for a night scene, but the mayor’s camp isn’t releasing any more details than that. Filming on the movie began in September, and recent shots from the set show that at least some part of the movie will take place in winter. Former NYC mayor Ed Koch made an appearance on the HBO TV series Sex and the City during his New York reign.

Sexy Rumors for New Movie
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Everyone’s dying to find out what’s going on with the Sex & the City movie, and insiders know it. The media has been doing their best to find pictures and information on the much-anticipated big-screen version of the popular HBO series, but they’re on to the game. There’s been a ton of buzz about recently-released photos depicting Carrie in a white wedding dress and Charlotte with a telltale tummy bump, but these pictures are meant to add fuel to the fire – not reveal any plot points. The pictures are part of dream sequences in the movie, and don’t have anything to do with the reality of the characters’ lives. One source suggests the pictures are meant to fool fans, showing them what they want to see to keep them from speculating on the actual script. When the series wrapped in 2004, head writer/executive producer/sometime director Michael Patrick King wrote several different endings to fool the press and the fans. If Sex insiders have their way, we won’t know anything until the film is released…and maybe that’s as it should be.

Entourage’s Kevin Dillon To Star in ‘300’ Spoof
Call it a humorous example of life imitating art. HBO star Kevin Dillon has just landed a big screen role in National Lampoon’s 301: The Legend of Awesomest Maximus Wallace Leonidas. The comedy will spoof a myriad of testosterone-laden movies including 300, Troy, Braveheart and Gladiator.
Fans of Entourage know that Dillon’s character (struggling actor Johnny Chase) rose to fame in the short-lived series, ‘Viking Quest’. (The tagline for the fake series being: “From the past… comes a warrior of the future.”) Now in 301, Dillon will get to add his special twist to the Spartan general role.
I’m really hoping the producers of Entourage can somehow find a way to tie in Dillon’s real life role into their show. The fans of Viking Quest would want them to do it for Johnny.

Behind the scenes of Sex and the City
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Romance, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Sex & the City left HBO when the series was still highly popular, at the top of its game. When any successful show leaves the air, it causes questions…and confusion for fans who are left wanting more. It wasn’t until after the Sex was all over that the rumors surfaced and the interviews began. Reportedly, the series ended because of star squabbling - namely, Kim Cattrall. The actress who was loved on the small screen as Samantha Jones allegedly wanted to receive the same amount of pay as the show’s star, Sarah Jessica Parker (a.k.a. Carrie Bradshaw). And that’s when everything fell apart. The series ended amid much hype, HBO tributes, and tons of press. But even then, there were whispers that there might be more Sex to come.
Until that, too, fell apart. Again, it was reported that the Sex & the City movie’s progress was stymied by Kim Cattrall, who refused to do the project. And millions of women were disappointed. Three years after the final farewell, the Sexy movie is back on – with, yes, all four leading ladies as part of the cast. But has time softened the hard feelings that plagued the series? According to on-set reports, no.
