SEX AND THE CITY THE MOVIE DVD LAUNCH & CARRIE DIARIES: A TALE OF TOO MANY PREMIERES

Sex and the City had yet another red carpet premiere. This time they didn't just talk about their Manolo Blahnik's because the famous shoe designer was at the event.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon had another excuse to dress up in designer duds to celebrate the DVD launch at the New York Public Library. Is this a case of too many premieres? The cast and studio New Line barely survived a disasterous riot at the New York Premiere when the theater was overbooked. Click here to read more about the chaos.

Sex and the City had red carpet premieres to promote it's release in London, Germany, New York and Japan.

Remember when Sarah Jessica Parker wore that hideous acorn hat to the SATC London premiere last May?

HarperCollins hopes to create new generations of Carrie Bradshaw fashionistas. The publisher announced that Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell will write a new book about Carrie's formative highschool years called "The Carrie Diaries". It sounds like Gossip Girl the prequel.

HarperCollins Publishers announced today that it has acquired world rights to The Carrie Diaries by Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell. Bushnell takes readers back to Carrie Bradshaw's formative years in high school, giving an inside look at Carrie's friendships, romances, and how she realized her dream of becoming a writer. This is Bushnell's first teen novel.

           

The two-book deal was negotiated by Alessandra Balzer, Co-Publisher of the Balzer & Bray imprint at HarperCollins Children's, with Heather Schroder at ICM. The first book is scheduled for global publication in Fall 2010.

                   

"We are incredibly thrilled," said Alessandra Balzer of Balzer & Bray. "Teenagers are rabid fans of the Sex and the City book and show. I can't wait to see what happens when Candace turns her sharp eye for social commentary to the other competitive jungle that is high school."

           

Ann-Janine Murtagh, Fiction and Picture Book Publisher at HarperCollins Children's Books in the UK added "I am absolutely delighted to be publishing these two fabulous titles in the UK where Carrie Bradshaw has such a loyal following already. I am sure that Candace will offer us an irresistible insight into Carrie Bradshaw's early hopes and dreams and create stories which are sure to have universal appeal."

           

"I've always been interested in exploring Carrie's teenage years," Bushnell said. "Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd--she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene." source

          

SEX AND THE CITY NEW YORK PREMIERE AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

Sex and the City held another premiere last night in New York City at Radio City Music Hall. Sarah Jessica Parker wore another designer outfit on the Pink Carpet. 

Jennifer Hudson showed off her curves and dazzled in metallics.

Mary J Blige looked good too. Mary is always rocking the blonde hair.

We don't really think Lil Kim brought her best look to the Sex and the City premiere.

Remember when Kim used to be a pretty Brown girl? What happened to Lil Kim? 

Kim needs to layoff the skin peels and the cosmetic knife. She's looking like LaToya and Michael Jackson.

Heiress Lydia Hearst and Kid Sister really like bright colors. Are you going to see Sex in the City?  We used to tune into the show. But the film clocks in at more than two hours and is getting mixed reviews.
