Hollywood Crush › Sex and the City

Rumors of a third "Sex and the City" film began circulating the moment (if not before) Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte hopped atop camels in Abu Dhabi. And now, we've got a super secret sneak peek at a page of that leaked script. Kinda.

In our latest After Hours segment, Josh Horowitz sits down with "I Don't Know How She Does It" co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Greg Kinnear to talk all about their upcoming comedy and debut—FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER—a scene from "Sex and the City 3." Which may or may not have been written by Josh.

After months without hearing so much as a peep from Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, we'd been getting desperate for some sex!

As in, "Sex and the City," of course. (Our personal lives are just fine in that area, thank you very much.)

So it's good news, as reported by Deadline, that there's finally been some movement on "The Carrie Diaries"—the "SATC" prequel that takes place during the ladies' senior year of high school and the last best chance for "SATC" fans to get their Carrie fix just one more time.

"SATC" might be O-V-E-R, but we still like to check in from time to time with the star who made Carrie Bradshaw a household name. So it's lovely to see Sarah Jessica Parker, wearing a very "Carrie" colorblocked frock and gracing the cover of next month's Marie Claire! Inside, the notorious SJP poses for a series of photos (including one slightly-disturbing shot where she appears to be wearing a skirt made out of muppet skin) and chats with her interviewer about how, despite a lifetime in the celebrity spotlight, she really just wants to be a regular person.

"I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous," she explained. "And in my daily life, I work really hard not to trade on it in any way. I am so desperately worried about anybody saying, She cut in line, or She took our table, or She got out of jury duty, or She doesn't do her own grocery shopping. The things that bother me are counter to who I am and the way I live. It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school."

Move over, Carrie Bradshaw. There's a new single lady in town. Her name is Annie, and she was one hell of a maid of honor.

The news that "Bridesmaids" has passed "Sex and the City" as the top-grossing R-rated female comedy shouldn't come as too much of a shock for those of us who have been following the "Bridesmaids" effect, but it's still surprising that the flick has also become Universal's biggest rom-com of all time and Judd Apatow's best box office draw. It's good news for us, though, because that means we can expect a whole slew of "Bridesmaids"-style movies in the future, hopefully with the same star power and high-caliber comedy.

In fact, the trend is already upon us. At least three chick-driven laughers are in the works, proving ladies can be funny without falling all over the next hottie who walks by:

If pamphlet-wielding prognosticators are to be believed, tomorrow (May 21, 2011) is Doomsday—the hour in which a massive earthquake will rock the globe heralding the end of the world. Pretty gloomy stuff, huh? Whether or not (most likely not) that particular prophecy comes true, it got us thinking about how we would want to spend our last day, pop-culturally speaking. If we had only hours to enjoy our favorite movies, TV series, music and books, what title would get preference?

After the jump, Hollywood Crush writers weigh-in on the one pop-culture pick they'd relish before the rapture.

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."

Hollywood woke to the sad news this morning that legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor, best remembered for her works in classics such as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," "Cleopatra," "National Velvet" and "Giant" died at the age of 79 from congestive heart failure. The iconic star, who was also known for her dedication to HIV and AIDS research, her trailblazing fashion choices, her classic White Diamonds ads, her friendship with Michael Jackson and her many marriages, was remembered by her famous friends and fans on Twitter today.

The eternally classic and hip Elizabeth had her own Twitter and many of her followers retweeted her words of wisdom today, including one from July 2010 that read, "Give. Remember always to give. That is the thing that will make you grow." In fact, giving was one of Elizabeth's strongest suits. Fans of "Sex and the City" will no doubt recall the name of Charlotte's beloved pooch, Elizabeth Taylor, as Kristin Davis shared, "Elizabeth gave us permission at SATC for the storyline using her name.She also sent all of us sweet gifts! so sweet! #RIPElizabethTaylor."

Many other celebs were lucky enough to cross paths with Dame Elizabeth, including Kim Kardashian who interviewed her just last month for Harper's Bazaar, writing from her page, "I am so saddened about the passing of Elizabeth Taylor! She will always be my idol!" Chad Lowe recalled his time with Elizabeth, "I had the great fortune to work with #ElizabethTaylor. She really was extraordinary, so kind and caring. An awesome talent" and Steve Martin shared, "I met Elizabeth Taylor several times. She was witty and self-deprecating, which I found surprising and delightful. She loved to laugh.”

Check out the rest of today's Elizabeth Taylor tribute tweets from the stars, including Sophia Bush urging followers to make donations to her charities. Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

Kat Dennings certainly has some major big-screen projects on her docket ("Thor" and "Renee"), but she's also headed to the small screen for the Michael Patrick King-helmed "Two Broke Girls." Kat will star on the CBS comedy about two 20-somethings who are tackling life in the Big Apple. (Hey MPK, this sounds familiar!)

Regardless of the "Sex and the City" comparisons, Kat admitted that she feels excited to be involved with the project. "I mean, I know about as much as you do," she joked to MTV News on the set of her drama, "Renee." "I said 'yes,' and Michael Patrick King is a very good friend and obviously someone that is amazing, a master."

In fact, she was once a "Hot Child in the City" in an episode of "SATC." "And he also kind of gave me my break when I was 14," she said. "I was on 'Sex And The City' [in 2000], and so it's kind of an amazing full circle sort of."

Typically when you hear an actor or actress wants to try their hand at something new—be it singing or producing or starting a line of perfumes and colognes—most of the time it's hard not to think, 'Don't quit your day job!'

But when it comes to someone like the uber-talented Drew Barrymore, we can't help but get excited about her latest venture, be it on or off-screen. After directing 2009's underrated, kick-butt roller derby movie "Whip It," Drew will, thankfully be heading behind the camera once more, this time for a genre that's even more up her alley: romantic comedies!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Drew, who was last seen in the funny romance-from-afar flick "Going The Distance," will be at the helm of "How To Be Single," the big-screen adaptation of the novel by the same name that "explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of 10 years." There's no word yet on whether Drew will also star in the movie.

Though we never need an excuse to watch a romantic comedy or support Drew Barrymore, we wanted to share three big reasons why we think this pairing is going to be a match made in movie heaven:

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?
