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 »
Allison Williams Isn’t Carrie Bradshaw, But She Does a Mean Kate Middleton Impression
The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com.
When Allison Williams stopped by Lucky’s office recently, we were immediately taken with her style. She had that kind of refined, good girl look—casually chic in her Marc by Marc Jacobs shirtdress and Tory Burch wedges—that seems to come naturally to graduates of elite East Coast collegiate institutions. (She went to Yale.) But don’t roll your eyes at her privileged pedigree, Williams is down-to-earth and just plain funny: Witness her impression of Kate Middleton in her self-written Funnyordie.com mini-series. More »

Is Michael Patrick King’s ’2 Broke Girls’ Just Another ‘Sex And The City’?
With fall just around the corner, television networks have been plugging away at promoting their newest fall comedy lineups. Many of the offerings are relying on star-power, like Zooey Deschanel’s latest vehicle The New Girl or the new and possibly improved Two and a Half Men (now with Ashton Kutcher). Then are there are shows banking on proven track-records, such as 2 Broke Girls, created by stand-up Whitney Cummings and Sex and the City show-runner, Michael Patrick King.
But King doesn’t appreciate the comparisons to SATC, as easy as they are to make. More »
How Many Famous American Objects Can You Spot in the Crazy Japanese ‘Ponponpon’ Video?
We have spent the last day enraptured by “PONPONPON,” the strange video from Japanese star Kyaru Pamyu Pamyu. She’s part of the culture’s Kawaisa movement, which means she’s simply too adorable for words. She prances around wearing teddy bears as dresses — watch out, Gaga — and dances in a multicolored room filled with toys. Yeah, we still have no idea what “PONPONPON” is about, but we’ve managed to pick out a number of familiar items in Kyaru’s Pee-Wee’s Playhouse-esque toyroom. Some are the exact objects, while others have clearly been influenced by American culture. More »

Crush Links: Rihanna Needs to Curb the Drunk Tweets
• Chris Noth doesn’t think there’ll be a third Sex and the City. He also misses the time when the show wasn’t a media sensation. We miss the time before every relationship truth was summed up in a bad pun. (Celeb Dirty Laundry)

STD Week: 10 TV Characters Who Had STDs
STDs have a special spot in television: Often, TV likes to pretend they don’t exist, a phenomenon TV Tropes calls “STD Immunity.” Luckily, though, there ARE, in fact, a number of shows that not only acknowledge STDs, but also (and perhaps more importantly), expose their main characters to them. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but for your entertainment and information, here are 10 television characters who have or had STDs: More »

Am I Right Ladies: Jonesing For More Samantha
Darren Star has yet to return any of my letters to get Sex and the City back on the air- he won’t even have the decency to give me a restraining order- but someone in the advertising universe clearly heard my prayers for more Samantha Jones. Since SATC ended, Sam has made the leap from the small screen to the smaller screen (that’s what ads are, right?) to help us aspiring empowered women buy the most fabulous products. I will follow her until I’m totally broke, amirightladies? (I’m totally broke right now.) More »

Men’s Health: Older Women Have Sex Sooner Than 20-Year-Olds
Attention males: your ageist attempts to have sex with 20-year old women may be misguided. A fantastic new Men’s Health study says that 40-year old women are more likely than 20-year olds to have sex on the first date. Ok, maybe it’s not the study that’s awesome, but just the New York Post headline: Naughty 40s women ‘easy.’
