And Just Like That

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Martha Stewart was all over the news for her popular Netflix documentary, and here’s what we know. While Martha dropped some bombshells (including that her first husband was aggressive in bed and she liked it!) she’s saving even MORE of the juicy scoops for round two. While it hasn’t been announced yet, my source says Netflix has greenlit a second documentary which will reveal more secrets from Martha’s life. My source adds that Martha is relishing the newfound attention -especially since she’s reaching an entirely new audience.

Sean Diddy Combs is still behind bars, but his Beverly Hills house is in the news because it’s been sitting on the market with no offers and barely any interest. I’m hearing this from my well placed real estate source: behind closed doors, the city is putting together an offer to purchase the estate (where numerous sex crimes have allegedly taken place) demolish it, and turn the area into a green space. While Beverly Hills can certainly afford to buy the property, one of the things holding up the plan is persuading the neighbors. We can exclusively reveal their pitch is this… “Would you rather live next to a park or a tourist attraction?” Sight-seeing busses loaded with tourists have recently added the home to their tours, causing traffic in the residential neighborhood and some of the neighbors are livid.

Kristin Cavallari made headlines after she was seen hanging out with her ex-boyfriend Mark Estes just weeks after breaking up with him. This should come as no surprise to loyal readers, since we previously reported that although the May/December couple were kaput, they were maintaining a friends with benefits arrangement. We are hearing that is exactly what happened and this isn’t the first time the duo have seen each other since splitting, it is just the first time they were photographed together in public.

Speaking of breaking up, Valerie Bertinelli was in the news since her once promising relationship with Mike Goodnough surprisingly ended. We are hearing that while long distance played a major part in the split since he lives on the East Coast and she’s a California girl, that wasn’t the only cause. According to my source, Valerie had some serious trust issues because Mike would go dark and not respond to texts or calls and that didn’t sit well with the One Day at a Time star. While Valerie didn’t have concrete evidence she suspected something was up and that’s why she was the one who called it quits.

Finally, Kamala Harris made the news and we all know why. We just heard this. One of the first people to call her was diehard supporter Sarah Jessica Parker but it wasn’t only to offer her condolences after the loss, it was to offer her a job! Sarah wants Kamala to play herself on an episode of And Just Like That. We heard that the Vice President didn’t say yes, but she also didn’t say no. She agreed to look at a script and if it works for her brand, you can expect to see her on an episode of the series!

CARRIE’S NEW FASHION IS NOT SO DELIGHTFUL

Sorry to say that And Just Like That is NOT living up to the fashion standards of  predecessor Sex & The City. The original wardrobe designer for City, Patricia Field, chose not to continue working for the new series. We really miss her!  And here’s WHY! (see photo above)  Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie looks quite uncomfortable in this peculiar pink and red combo with the plaid overcoat.  The sequin top is matronly and the hat is just plain goofy. And we usually LOVE bright colors! Our beloved Carrie deserves better…

SARAH JESSICA PARKER: THE HEIGHT OF FASHION

With Mr Big out of the picture on And Just Like That, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) dug up her favorite old boyfriend Aiden (John Corbett) and it looks like they are up to SOMETHING. John is quite tall (6’5″) and Sarah Jessica Parker is only 5’3,” so she makes a habit of wearing high heels when they’re together. (John is accustomed to petite women. His wife Bo Derek is 5’3″ and after 22 years together, they are still going strong.) Will Carrie live happily ever after with this man?

WHAT DO KATIE HOLMES AND SARAH JESSICA PARKER HAVE IN COMMON?

And just like that, Katie Holmes could join the cast of And Just Like That. Season 3 of the updated Sex and the City series won’t air until 2025, but according to a show insider, Katie is being wooed to appear on a few episodes and we can thank Zac Posen if it happens. AJLT star Sarah Jessica Parker is buddies with fashion designer Zac, and he also happens to be friends with Katie. Zac thought NY based Katie would be PERFECT for the show and Sarah, who’s also an executive producer, agreed. A few details still need to be ironed out, but our source says it’s pretty much a done deal.

CARRIE BRADSHAW MIGHT END UP WITH MATTHEW BRODERICK!

It only took around 30 years, but Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker are finally planning to work together again. The last time the couple were costars was in 1996 in the Broadway revival of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, According to a source, Matthew will join an upcoming season of Sarah’s popular HBOMAX series, And Just Like That. Since Mr. Big died and Aiden went back to his family on the farm, Sarah’s character Carrie Bradshaw is solo. Producers, including Sarah, want Carrie to end the series in love, so they’ve tapped her real life husband to play her love interest. Our source says that the show has been greenlit for a few more seasons and the plan is to introduce Matthew’s character in the very last season, so expect Carrie to have her fair share of flings until then.

“AND JUST LIKE THAT” CHARACTERS MIGHT BECOME DOLLS!

Will women and gay men play with dolls? That’s the question And Just Like That producers are trying to answer now. According to a series insider (remember we were the FIRST to reveal Kim Cattrall was making a surprise appearance!) producers have developed a series of collectible dolls complete with designer wardrobes that they are test marketing in focus groups. The show’s demographics are mainly middle-aged women and gay men, (just like this website!) so producers are trying to decipher whether there’s a market for these dolls, which will retail for a few hundred dollars each. So far the feedback has been positive, so Sarah Jessica Parker and her pals could be coming to a store near you.

KIM CATTRALL HAS THE UPPER HAND

You might recall that we were the first to reveal that Kim Cattrall made a surprise cameo in the season finale of And Just Like That and just as we predicted, the episode is already shattering expectations, drawing HUGE ratings. The powers that be at HBO know a good thing when they see it, so they’re now negotiating with Kim (begging her) to make a few more cameos in the upcoming season 3. They know it’s unlikely Kim will film with Sarah Jessica Parker, so they’re hoping to get her to film some scenes with Kristin Davis. Kim and Kristin seemed to get along well during the original run of Sex and the City, so Kristin’s sweet character Charlotte is the likely choice to interact with Kim. It’s not a done deal yet, but if the stars align and the actors strike ends, we COULD see more of Kim on the popular series.

KIM CATTRALL MIGHT GET THE LAST LAUGH

As you know we were the first to tell you that despite all that infighting, Kim Cattrall was set to make a guest appearance on And Just Like That. Kim’s cameo in this season’s finale is expected to bring in HUGE ratings. If these predictions are correct, my source reveals Kim will likely be BACK in season 3! Cynthia Nixon’s character Miranda has moved to LA this season and films her scenes separately from the original cast. Kim could come back for a few more appearances with the explanation that her character lives outside of New York, so she would NOT have to film with the others. My source insists that if the ratings deliver, Kim could earn millions of dollars just to appear in a few episodes next season – and she’d never have to come in contact with her costars…

SAMANTHA IS COMING BACK: WE TOLD YA SO!

Back in 2021 we told you that Kim Cattrall would make an appearance on the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That, in a special episode dedicated to beloved star Willie Garson. While it didn’t happen in the first season (since his character’s death was never addressed) it’s happening in the upcoming one! This is especially surprising because Kim has been openly feuding with Sarah Jessica Parker. People magazine just revealed that Kim filmed her guest appearance this past March and while they didn’t reveal the episode’s plot, our source says it’s a memorial tribute to Willie’s fan-favorite character, Stanford.

AND JUST LIKE THAT: BETTE MIDLER IS SET TO MAKE TROUBLE

Persistence pays off, just ask Sarah Jessica Parker. Since her days on Sex and the City, Sarah has wanted her Hocus Pocus costar and fellow New Yorker, Bette Midler, to appear on her series, but it never happened. They had so much fun filming their hit sequel Hocus Pocus 2, that Bette agreed to appear on the SATC spin-off, And Just Like That. The details are still being worked out, but the current plan is for Bette to play herself and plug her pet project, the New York Restoration Fund, the project Bette started over 25 years ago to save NYC’s parks and green space. The working script has Sarah’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, volunteer at the charity and clash with Bette.
