Confirmed: The CW Will Make a TV Show Out of Sex and the City Prequel The Carrie Diaries
What a nice treat for Fashion Week: The CW has bought the rights to produce The Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell‘s YA prequel to Sex and the City. And the people helming the adaptation will be none other than Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, executive producers for Gossip Girl. So it’ll be tamer than HBO, but still probably have enough sexytimes to rile up the Parents Television Council. More »
Crushable Books: 5 Summer Reads That Should Be (Or Are Becoming) Movies
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo became a best selling sensation as soon as it crashed on the U.S. market (after being translated from its native Swedish) in September 2008. The action-packed book seems ready made for a movie adaptation, with it’s vivid and unique characters and swirling stories of sexual deviancy and depravity, deep dark family secrets, undercover investigations, torture and murder.

Rue McClanahan’s Blanche Was The Original Samantha
Today’s news of the passing of former Golden Girls’ Rue McClanhan was a blow to everybody who grew up loving that show.

Sex and the City prequel?
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(320,480,108460,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()So I’m a huge fan of Sex and the City, but even I know when to call it when Candace Bushnell, the author of SATC, has jumped the shark BUT GOOD.
Apparently, she is hard at work writing the story of Carrie Bradshaw when she was in high school. Ugh. Gag me with a spoon. So will these lovely SATC teen thrillers be shelved right next door to Twilight and Harry Potter? Should we look for… More »
