Hollywood Crush › Sex and the City 2

We'd heard a whisper or two that Sarah Jessica Parker — whose name will be forever entwined with "Sex and the City" and its leading lady, Carrie Bradshaw — wasn't too psyched about the possibility of her beloved franchise getting tapped for a prequel. (Her reaction, reported by Vulture after rumors circled earlier this winter that Blake Lively would be playing a high-school-aged, pre-NYC Carrie: "Whaaaaaaaat?!") But when we caught up with SJP at Cannes and asked if she's still feeling less-than-thrilled about turning back the clock on "SATC," the actress' expression of surprise was pretty much second-to-none (I mean wow, her eyeballs practically fling themselves out of her head!).

"I think it always comes down to story," she explained after a hasty protest and the warning that she can't really discuss what may or may not be happening next. "What is the story that people want to tell?"

Of course, it's natural that the actress feels a sense of ownership over the character she brought to life — and who became a cultural icon in her own right. "I feel proprietary, in the best possible way, about that entire franchise," she admitted. "But I think there are lots of talented storytellers, and lots of talented actors who might be part of it, and I think like anything you base your opinion on material and content. And that would be the only way for any of us to have an opinion."

Blake Lively may have dashed the hopes of aspiring Manhattanites and fashionistas everywhere by killing rumors that she'd be stepping into a young Carrie Bradshaw's stilettos in an adaptation of "The Carrie Diaries," but Carrie herself is reminding fans that she is still ready and willing to work it out on the big screen.

"I would go back," Sarah Jessica Parker told the L.A. Times' 24 Frames, while filming her newest project "I Don't Know How She Does It"—another adaptation of a successful novel—in New York. "I think there's one more story to tell. I know there is," she said.

But whether she wants to step into Carrie's Manolos again is one thing, and whether we're willing to sit through another two hours of lavish spending and somewhat tired characters is another. Fact: The series itself is untouchable; it's the gold standard when it comes to stories of single friends and their attempts at love, but after a lukewarm response to "Sex and the City 2," is there much interest in seeing a third installment?

If you've been itching to see a young Carrie Bradshaw's foray into the world of fashion, you're in luck. Grazia magazine is reporting that studio execs are in talks to bring "Sex and the City" author Candace Bushnell's 2010 prequel "The Carrie Diaries," about a pre-NYC Carrie Bradshaw, to the big screen.

But instead of more '80s flashbacks, the film will feature an entirely new group of stylish, single girls to embody the earlier versions of our beloved Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. While production is still solely in talks, writer-director-producer Michael Patrick King reportedly has his eye on "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively to play the signature fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker made into a female icon.

While most films are getting a well-deserved pat on the back right about now, a few of our favorite cinematic vampires are being taken down a peg. The Razzie nominations were announced today, and "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" tied with "The Last Airbender" for the most nominations at nine a piece.

Unsurprisingly (based on previous Razzie nominations), "Eclipse" was nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, and the actors didn't get off the hook either. Kristen Stewart was nominated for Worst Actress, both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were nominated for Worst Actor (also getting nods for their other 2010 films), Jackson Rathbone got a Worst Supporting Actor nod for "The Last Airbender" and "Eclipse," and the entire cast was nominated as Worst Screen Couple/Worst Screen Ensemble.

We might have questioned the "Hills" star Kristin Cavallari's fashion choices at last night's "Salt' premiere (much like Kristen Stewart's dress at last year's Teen Choice Awards, that number seriously looks like it could hurt someone!) had we not have immediately realized: we have seen this dress before!

Upon further investigation, it seems Kristin chose the very same look that Kim Catrall's Samantha wore during a nightclub scene in "Sex and the City 2." The Blonds dress in red was also favored by Rihanna last November when she donned it for her Rated R release party in NYC. One look worn by a reality star, an R&B diva and a sex fiend? Now that's what we call fashion forward.

So who wore it best? Take our poll after the jump!

Three's a charm for John Corbett and Bridget Moynahan. They have not only starred in the "Sex And The City" series and "Serendipity" together, but starting next week, they will play mom and dad to "Ramona and Beezus."

With John having just stepped into Aidan's shoes one more time for "Sex and the City 2," he told MTV News that he felt it was also time for Natasha to make her grand return. We mean they were both wronged by Big and Carrie!

When proposed with the idea to have Natasha stir up some more trouble for the now married couple, she naively wondered, "Would I be a villain? Am I a villain?"

The "Sex and the City" ladies by now represent New York as much as the Empire State Building and Central Park. So who better to put her own touch on the "Sex and the City 2" soundtrack than Alicia Keys, another iconic New Yorker.

The Big Apple-born singer was approached by the "SATC2" soundtrack executive producer, Salaam Remi, to add some modern flair to the "SATC" theme song. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, Salaam said that Alicia was a natural choice. "I thought about different people who also embody the culture of New York, being a New Yorker, being able to represent that now. Alicia Keys made total sense."

After the first "Sex And The City" flick hit theaters in 2008, fans still wanted to know what would happen in the lives of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda. So, that brings us to 2010 and the release of "Sex And The City 2." And even though the film has barely been out for a full Memorial Day weekend, Kim Cattrall hasn't ruled out the possibility of another flick in the beloved franchise.

"That's totally not up to me, thank God! Thank God I don't have to write that third script; that would be so daunting, but that's up to Michael [Patrick King, the director]," she told MTV News when asked what she might like to see happen next. "I don't know if there will be a third. I hope there will be. I think there's more stories to be told. That's totally his call."
