Herald Sun Reveals More Women Than Men Bought Tix For ‘Satc’ Movie; Also Reveals Pope Is Catholic

11:39AM Clem Bastow | While us country cousins here in little ol’ Australia wait patiently for the premiere of the Sex & The City movie (the partay for which will, incidentally, not feature any of the stars), America is naturally going apeshit for the flick. Thus, you’d expect the local press to report on such excitement, no doubt to build momentum for the film on our shores. It’s just that the Herald Sun chose such a “well derrr” way to do it: An online ticketing service said 94 per cent of US ticket buyers were women. Reaaaallly? After such incredible scoops, you half expect them to go on to say that they can “exclusively reveal” that the stars of the movie are Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis!

The Tragic ‘Sex And The City’ Premiere: Tears, Double D Cups, Wedgies, And Only One Pretty Dress

3:40AM Molly Friedman | What would a Sex And The City movie premiere be without bouts of drama worthy of the show itself? While last night’s premiere in New York looked glamorous on camera, on the scene it was another story entirely. From a controversial remark made by the franchise’s token villainness to fashion mishaps to thousands of ticketless die-hard fans ending up in tears, the scene outside Radio City Music Hall last night was chaotic and Cosmo-drenched. And that was just the crowd! As for the stars of the film, there were signs that sex-despising Sarah Jessica Parker’s co-stars weren’t entirely pleased to pose in front of the movie’s poster (you know, the one that they don’t even appear on). All the scandals and controversy, plus the highs and lows of the cast’s fashion choices, after the jump. More »

Newish ‘Sex And The City’ Leaked Clips Suggest They Didn’t Really Need Kim Cattrall After All

9:25AM Molly Friedman | It took several years for the ladies of Sex And The City to finally figure that whole mobile phone thingie out (Carrie’s neon pink contraption in the series finale was one of the cutest/saddest attempts by a TV show to be “cool” we’ve ever seen) and, as these two leaked clips from the movie show, it’s taken them until now to conquer the Booty Text discussion. In the first clip — spoiler-phobes should avoid there eyes starting NOW — Sarah Jessica Parker brags to her assistant, played by Jennifer Hudson, about her texting ignorance before launching into a wink-filled lecture on what exactly your 20s, 30s and 40s are all about. And in the second, SJP brags to her hags about her brand new apartment before launching into a wink-filled lecture on boys ‘n real estate. We haven’t been winked at so many times since…the series finale of Sex And The City. More »

Finally, A ‘Sex And The City’ Plot Rumour That Demands Our Attention

7:50AM Molly Friedman | An early warning to SATC fans reading: potential spoilers lay ahead. That said, we have caught wind of one of the most intriguing (some might argue, the only intriguing) rumours regarding what to expect from the Most Important Movie Of The Year. It involves the possibility that one of the main Sex And The City characters, namely Mr. Big, will bite the bullet in the Cosmo-drenched show’s big-screen debut. And director Michael Patrick King has been ingeniously coy when it comes to responding to all the death chatter: “I did want an emotional roller-coaster but…Kill Mr. Big? I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches. It’s a summer movie. Why would I want to kill anyone?” While we’re not sure of any reasons that King would have to off someone, we judge each of the four ladies’ odds of falling off a high-rise due to insanely high stilettos or simply shooting themselves with a (pink!) gun after listening to 90 minutes of Carrie’s self-absorbed whines:

New Poll Suggests ‘Sex’ More Appealing To May Moviegoers Than Superheroes And Fast Cars

9:00AM Molly Friedman | Happy May Day. Why? Aside from May flowers, this month will finally bring some answers regarding all those conflicting box office predictions made in the trades weeks ago: will the upcoming back-to-back openings of Iron Man, Speed Racer, Prince Caspian and Indy 4 crush recession worries as Variety predicted? Or is the 19% decline in spring grosses only going to continue, as THR suggested mid-April? Well, the folks at Moviefone have provided us with a bit of guidance in the form of a poll measuring audience anticipation. And despite early rave reviews for Downey Jr.’s performance in Iron Man, the scores of kids aching for more Narnia adventures and testosterone-invigorating posters for Indy 4, it seems the majority of audience-goers only want to talk about Sex, baby.

The Top Three Reasons Why The Official ‘SATC’ Movie Poster Sucks

3:55AM Molly Friedman | For what seems like an entire century, ladies and ladyboys have been anxiously awaiting the release of the ultimate “chick flick,” Sex And The City: The Movie (have we mentioned how godawful that title is by the way?). In any case, yesterday we had the privilege of seeing the final one-sheet for the film which is set to open next month. And almost immediately, we began griping about it (annoyingly, just the way Carrie Bradshaw whined over her column’s bus ad during the first season). After the jump, we discuss all the various problems with this image, from that dress to that font to, well, almost everything, boiled down into three primary points: More »
