Star Couplings: Lily Allen’s Naughty Confession
Sarah Jessica Parker has stopped pretending she’s happy in her marriage with Matthew Broderick and is reportedly looking for her own place in New York City. Although Broderick was the one caught cheating, we think Parker will start dating someone else soon because she emotionally checked out of this marriage some time ago.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcomed their second daughter yesterday. No details have been released, including the name, but we’re betting on another flower name to go along with Violet. Rose? Lily? Tulip? Peony? Hydrangea? Ranunculus? [Us Weekly]
Sneaking around on your spouse is all the rage in Hollywood. Just this weekend, Angelina Jolie, openly admitted she and Brad Pitt fell in love while he was still very married to Jennifer Aniston. Ouch! But she wasn’t the only one messing around in tinsel town. Téa Leoni has allegedly been messing around on David Duchovny with Angelina’s ex, Billy Bob Thornton? Oh, the incestuous web celebrities weave! Alas, in Hollywood, cheating the camera isn’t just an acting technique, but off-screen it can get a whole lot trickier. More, after the jump…
It’s only been a few months since the “Sex and the City” movie premiered, but we’re just about ready for a run-in with our four best friends. So we’re really stoked that the movie is available on DVD and Blu-ray TODAY! As you know, the clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories were all fabulous in the movie, but what’s so great about SATC is that it always gives us a little clarity about our real lives, even if the dialogue is a tad cheesy. Put on your favorite Louboutins or Manolos or some other killer, knock-off FMPs and watch 2008’s best/worst chick flick. In case you can’t wait to see the movie again, check out the trailer after the jump. [$19.95, Warner Bros.]
With rumors swirling that Matthew Broderick is cheating on wife Sarah Jessica Parker, and who knows what is going on between Alex Rodriguez and Madonna, it got us to thinking about celebs, who they date, and who they cheat with. Like Matthew’s supposed lover, reportedly, she is young with red hair—nothing like SJP or the women he was with before her. Here are some celebs who always seem to date very similar people, and our suggestions for who they should date next.
Sarah Jessica Parker is thinking about going downtown. She’s had her fun as an uptown girl with Sex in the City, but now that it’s finished off, she’s looking for a new sensation. SJP is currently in talks to play an single mother in the city that lives about 50 blocks south of her old bachlorette pad in the The Ivy Chronicles. Based on Karen Quinn’s novel of the same name, it’s another guaranteed chick flick hit. But will she sign on with Warner Brothers and make the movie? [Huffington Post]
At last night’s MTV Movie Awards, there were lots of bad clothes. Personally, I think Ellen Page (winner of Best Female Performance) dressed quite appropriately for the event, wearing jeans and sneakers. Fancy dresses are not what the MTV Movie Awards should be about, especially if they’re short dresses. As Lindsay Lohan discovered, wearing a short dress while sitting in a movie theater means showing more leg than you may have planned. [MTV]
We swear, after Monday, when Catherine and I will have a brief IM about what we thought of the movie, we will not write about this show AGAIN. Or at least for a very, very long time.—Editor
I know you’ve have all been dying to watch Square Pegs, which came out on DVD this week, and now you don’t even have to buy the DVD or add it to your Netflix queue. The Minisode Network, an online channel on Crackle, YouTube, MySpace, and a bunch of other places online, features condensed five- to seven-minute episodes of classic TV shows, and it’s adding Square Pegs to its lineup on Monday! Above is a exclusive sneak peak at one Square Pegs Minisode. In case you forgot, Square Pegs was a show on CBS in 1982 and stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Linker as two teens who are desperate to fit in at Weemawee High School. It feels a lot like My So-Called Life or Freaks and Geeks but with fabulous ‘80s outfits.
Come Monday, check out more Square Pegs Minisodes on Crackle.
Confession: I’ve actually never seen Square Pegs, the short-lived series from 1982 starring Sarah Jessica Parker. The show is about Patty (SJP) and Lauren (Amy Linker), who are just two freshman high schoolers trying to fit in. Lately, with all of the press for the Sex and the City movie, I’ve been reading a lot about it, and lucky me, it just came out on DVD! [Amazon.com]
After Sex and the City ended its run on HBO in 2004, Carrie’s desk and laptop were donated to The Smithsonian museum. But then when they decided to do a movie and needed them back. (I don’t understand why they would need her laptop back—if she really is a successful writer with a few books under her belt, you would think that she could afford a MacBook Air.) The Smithsonian was rather reluctant to hand over the props, and Sarah Jessica Parker had to get involved: “After the series finale The Smithsonian called us to ask for the desk and laptop from the TV show. They only released it back [for use for the film] after I made several personal calls. When it was suggested I use a replica because no one would know it a replica, I said ‘I will know.’ We had to have that desk—as a writer, it’s an extension of you.” [ContactMusic.com]
