Really Sarah? Really?

Here’s to hoping that they DON’T decide to tell another ‘Sex and the City’ story, because the last movie was absolutely ridiculous. I adored the show when it was on HBO, and I even loved the first SATC movie. But the second? It was a joke. A third? Methinks that’s a terrible idea.

Since Sarah Jessica Parker’s pop-culture legacy is so tied to her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City” and its two movies, whenever MTV News has the opportunity to chat with the actress, we have to get an update on the beloved series.

Thankfully, we caught up with Parker at the Cannes Film Festival and asked her to comment on the rumors about a “SATC” prequel, as well as her thoughts on returning to the famed role of Ms. Bradshaw one more time.

“I think it always comes down to story and what is the story people want to tell,” Bradshaw said of the rumored adaptations of “The Carrie Diaries.” “Obviously, I feel proprietary in the best possible way about that entire franchise as it were, but I think there are lots of talented storytellers and obviously lots of talented actors who might be a part of it. I think, like anything, you base your opinion on material and content, and I think that would be the only way for any of us to have an opinion.”

Regarding a future “SATC” installment, be it on the big screen or small, Parker revealed that there might be another tale to tell.

“I think there is perhaps one more small, important story to tell,” she said. “Whether or not we choose to do that and when we choose to do that remains, obviously, the unknown, but it’s nice to ponder.”

One more story, huh? We mentioned that it sounded like Parker has that specific story in her head.

“I don’t, but somebody else does,” she said with a knowing smile.

All together now – nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

On the other hand – I’m totally excited for the SATC prequel! Can’t wait for that!

Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of her fellow Sex and the City 2 stars “won big” at last night’s 31st annual Razzie Awards!

Sarah, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis were all awarded Golden Raspberries last night for Worst Actress. The film also won worst sequel, worst ensemble and worst onscreen couple. Can I get an AMEN!?

M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, The Last Airbender, took home worst picture, worst director, worst supporting actor for Jackson Rathbone and the award for “worst eye-gouging mis-use of 3D.”

Ashton Kutcher was named worst actor for both Killers and Valentine’s Day.

Jessica Alba’s body of work for 2010 was also acknowledged. She won worst supporting actress for Machete, The Killer Inside Me, Little Fockers and Valentine’s Day.

Love it!

A new rumor is spreading online today, one that sounds intriguing! According to Grazia, Blake Lively is being considered to play a young Carrie Bradshaw in a prequel to the role Sarah Jessica Parker made famous.

Studio bosses are in talks to fill the glamour void with a prequel film, following the success of Candace Bushnell’s bestselling book The Carrie Diaries, about the teenage years of her heroine.

Candace has just finished a second novel called Summer And The City, which takes up where Diaries left off and follows 19-year-old Carrie’s move from Connecticut to NYC.

SATC producer Michael Patrick King has already expressed interest in adapting the book for the big screen – and he wants Blake Lively to play the young Carrie.

“There are no plans to bring SJP and the other girls back together in the old format,” says an insider. “The prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie’s first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man.”

What do you think about Blake playing Carrie? Love it or hate it?

Wonder what SJP will have to say about this!

You want my opinion? Was SATC2 good? No. Did I like it? Yes!

Saturday night, I arrived at the movie theater an hour early – expecting a line for the new Sex and the City movie. (When I saw the first SATC movie, the line was enormous!) When I gave the attendant my ticket, he handed me my stub – and sent me on my way to the appropriate theater. I walked in – and realized the movie was just ending from the previous showing. I looked in the hallway, and no one was there. NO ONE. I went back outside, and waited in my car for my friends to arrive.

In the half an hour that I waited in my car, it seemed like no one was showing up for the film, which really surprised me! As we finally picked our seats, we realized we were with about 20-30 people in the theater. I pulled out the cocktails I smuggled into the theater, and the four of us toasted Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.

The movie (which is a whopping 2 1/2 hours) starts off with a thud. The first half an hour or so is absolutely PAINFUL to watch. The wedding of Charlotte and Carrie’s gay best friends is absolutely ridiculous, ending with Liza Minelli singing Beyonce’s Single Ladies. It was atrocious. The writing was terrible, the acting was shockingly bad, but luckily – it picked up the pace pretty quickly.

We catch up with the ladies to find Carrie bored in her marriage to Big, Charlotte can’t handle her two kids (even with a nanny), Samantha is losing her sex drive thanks to menopause, and Miranda is being disrespected at work.  When Samantha offers them an all-expense paid trip to Abu Dhabi, they all jump at the offer.

They’re whisked away via private jet to a fantasy land one could only dream up. Here Carrie meets up with past love Aiden (played by the incredibly hot John Corbett) and is tempted to cheat. Charlotte comes to realize that every mom needs a break, and Samantha meets some Australian Danish god who revives her sex drive. The movie spends over half it’s time in Abu Dhabi, it’s ridiculous, and unbelievable, but it was pretty to look at!

The movie was not good, but with that said – I still liked it. It’s eye candy for those of us who have watched every single SATC episode, who have followed these four girls since the beginning. I was a bit disappointed with how poorly it was written/acted, but you don’t go see this type of movie for Oscar-worthy performances. You go see this movie to escape the everyday ho-hum. This movie is definitely a good escape, and I’d recommend it to SATC fans. If you’re not a fan of SATC, and you haven’t watched every single episode, you might not like it at all.

The movie isn’t doing so well in the box office either. It was trampled by a green ogre over the weekend!

Not only did ‘Sex and the City 2′ fall far short of box office predictions — Carrie Bradshaw and the gals got trumped by ‘Shrek Forever After,’ a week-old film and the fourth in its franchise.

Predictions for ‘Sex and the City 2′ over the long weekend ran as high as $75 million; however, the film grossed just $37.1 million. The sequel earned less in five days than the 2008 original earned in its first three days.

“It’s possible,” Moviefone’s Gary Susman writes, “that the film was hurt by poor reviews, its R-rating and its 2 1/2-hour running time (allowing for fewer screenings per day) or its inability to attract male moviegoers (polling found the ‘Sex 2′ audience to be 90 percent female), but none of these proved obstacles for the first movie. Maybe it’s just that real-life women the ages of Carrie or Samantha were busy taking their kids to see ‘Shrek.’” Continue Reading

If you’ve seen it, I’d love to hear what you have to say about the movie! Let’s discuss!
