Source: VINCE BUCCI / Getty After all the drama between Kim Cattrall and the other Sex and the City ladies, we’re probably not going to get a third movie installment. So now, folks are all out here revealing what might have happened had we gotten Sex and the City 3 . Chris North , A.K.A Mr. Big, hit up James Andrew Miller’s podcast recently to talk script. Miller, a journalist who claims to have read an early version of the script, brought up its lack of appreciation for Cattrall’s character and the fact that it would have called for a highly important character to die. JustJared reports Miller told North during the podcast, “People close to Kim [Cattrall] believe that the script didn’t have a lot to offer the character of Samantha.” He reportedly continued, ”They point to the fact that it calls for Mr. Big to die of a heart attack in the shower, relatively early on in the film, making the remainder of the movie more about how Carrie recovers from Big’s death than about the relationship between the four women.” “Chris responded that he hadn’t read the script, but did say he heard the third movie script was ‘superior’ to the first two scripts,” JustJared states. In case you missed it, Kim Cattrall made it clear that she wanted no parts of a third Sex and the City . In September of last year, she hit Twitter to say she “Woke 2 a @MailOnline [sh*t]storm! The only ‘DEMAND’ I ever made was that I didn’t want to do a 3rd film….& that was back in 2016.” While she also clearly doesn’t want to be friends with Sarah Jessica Parker anymore, SJP went on record to say she still wanted Cattrall onboard for the movie. When a fan asked that they continue without Cattrall’s character, Parker was seen responding “Not sure if I can imagine doing another movie without her.” SJP’s comment was surprising, as Cattrall shut her all the way down earlier this year. After her brother died, Cattrall said she didn’t need her old friend’s support. “My Mom asked me today ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’ Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona,” she wrote via Instagram. Stay tuned. Woke 2 a @MailOnline storm! The only 'DEMAND' I ever made was that I didn't want to do a 3rd film….& that was back in 2016 — Kim Cattrall (@KimCattrall) September 29, 2017 [ione_media_gallery src=”https://globalgrind.cassiuslife.com” id=”3993778″ overlay=”true”]

These days, many standup comics have abandoned the whole “being funny” aspect of their job and are instead offering up some uncomfortable combination of political rallying and primal scream therapy that might best be described as shrieking to the choir. We get it. Times are tough; the news is scary; and awkward Thanksgiving dinner conversations are barrelling down on you like a pack of heavily armed troops headed for the Mexican border. Thankfully, some comics are channeling their frustration into a more conciliatory approach. Sarah Silverman is leading the way in terms of seeking answers and mending fences. Whether she’s touring the country in search of common ground as part of her acclaimed Hulu series or squashing beefs with MAGA chuds on social media, Silverman is doing work that’s not only entertaining, but important. So it’s only fair that society should reward her with its most sought-after prize. We’re talking, of course, about the Hamm Dong. Yes, if a new report from Radar Online is to be believed, Silverman has formed an acquaintanceship Jon Hamm’s gargantuan wang . Sources say the longtime friends have been hooking up in recent weeks, and while they’re not officially a couple, they’ve apparently been spending a lot of time together. Which we assume involves participating in Hamm’s favorite activities, such as wearing light gray sweatpants and watching reruns of Mad Men while speculating about how many Emmys Jon would have won if it weren’t for that bastard Cranston. Insiders say Hamm and Silverman seemed more than friendly with one another at the Ralph Breaks the Internet premiere on November 6. Hamm was on hand again when Silverman accepted her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame just three days later. “They’ve known each other a long time and always been close,” an insider tells Radar. “But Jon was in a longtime relationship until a couple of years ago. “The door then opened for Jon and Sarah,” the source adds. “They’re comfortable with one another — so why not?” Why not, indeed. We can think of no reason why these attractive, talented, and politically like-minded souls shouldn’t connect. But we also can’t help but sympathize with Bill Maher. We’re not sure why we’re convinced that Maher would give up his life of arguing with Republican hookers to settle down with Sarah. Maybe it’s all those years of watching him flirt with his fellow comic before awkwardly seguing into “New Rules,” but something tells us Bill always imagined a future in which Sarah would balance him out to form a couple that’s perfectly neutral in terms of likability. Sigh. Oh, well. The best thing Bill can do these days is keep his distance so he doesn’t wind up getting laid out like Jimmy Barrett when he went toe-to-toe with Don Draper. What, you folks aren’t into esoteric references to 10-year-old Mad Men episodes? View Slideshow: Mad Men Cast: Where Are They Now?
Sarah Michelle Gellar is under fire for a post she made … about Thanksgiving. The legendary Buffy The Vampire Slayer star shared her resolve to not overeat on Thanksgiving. Some of her followers put her on blast, accusing her of promoting eating disorders. She has now apologized. 41-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar has taken some steamy photoshoots during her time. She shared some pics from a Maxim shoot she did in 2007 on Instagram. Though she looks great in lingerie, it’s her caption that landed her in hot water. “I’m just going to pin these up all over my house,” she shared. Her caption continued, explaining that she would do so: “as a reminder not to overeat on Thursday #thanksgivingprep” Was she joking? Almost certainly. But people didn’t care for it. “Your caption is problematic and I suggest you do some research on eating disorders,” wrote one commenter. They continued: “the mental health issues that go along with them, and how diet culture is harmful to women.” “Girls look up to you,” that same commenter explained. “And you should be mindful of the message you’re sending.” “How empowering for women!” another wrote sarcastically. “Disappointing to use your platform to promote thinspiration on a once a year holiday.” This displeased fan continued to note that Thanksgiving is an occassion “that should be about togetherness and gratitude.” Others, however, were totally onboard with Gellar’s post. Maybe a little too enthusiastically, in some cases. “Thank you for promoting a healthy lifestyle!” wrote one. “You can enjoy Thanksgiving without going crazy!!” We’re not saying that that commenter has an eating disorder, but … that looks like a comment that someone with an eating disorder would make. “You are gorgeous and you have the right to post whatever you want,” another commenter affirmed. “I applaud your hard work to look like you do and should be able to joke around,” they wrote. They continued: “People need to stop caring so much about what you post or say about yourself and focus on themselves.” So … who is right? None of those comments really rubbed us the right way. Gellar is more than welcome to post photos of her own body and share that it’s inspiration. (She was definitely joking with her post, but some people really do use inspirational images to help keep them focused) That said, it is a good idea to be conscious of the ways in which people misuse “thinspiration” images in self-destructive starvation diets. Also, if you’re not overeating on Thanksgiving of all days, it’s kind of weird. Even if you’re an actress. That one comment thanking her for promoting a “healthy lifestyle” reminds us of this one post made by someone who definitely has an eating disorder. It was a forum post in which a woman wrote that feeding children apple pie at the holidays is a mistake, because it normalizes the eating of apples. If someone views apples as “empty carbs,” they probably need professional help of one form or another. At the same time, Gellar didn’t deserve the backlash. She wasn’t telling anyone to follow her example. View Slideshow: Sarah Michelle Gellar: Her Best Roles… RANKED! Though she really didn’t need to explain herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar did speak up — and even apologize. “It’s come to my attention that some people think I was ‘fat shaming’ with this post. That could not be further from my intentions,” Gellar writes. “I love Thanksgiving and unfortunately my eyes are often bigger than my stomach,” she shares. “And I tend to eat so much I make myself sick.” “This was a joking reminder to myself not to do that,” she shares. “I’m terribly sorry that people were offended by my attempt at humor,” Gellar laments. “Any one that knows me, knows I would never intentionally ‘shame’ any one on any basis,” she concludes. “I am a champion of all people.” It’s understandable that those who have recovered from ED would be sensitive to her words, but sad that she felt like she had to apologize for living her life. Whether she was dusting vampires during our childhood or voicing the Seventh Sister on Star Wars Rebels , Gellar’s always been a delight. She gets to enjoy Thanksgiving as much or as little as she chooses. But hey, at least this is better than that time that people accused her of “abuse” when she had done nothing of the sort.

Sad news from the music world today, as Devin Lima, singer of the popular ’90s boy band LFO has passed away. Lima was just 41 years old. Lima had been battling cancer for 13 months prior to his death. He and bandmate Brad Fischetti were planning to embark a nationwide tour when doctors discovered a “football-sized” tumor on Lima’s adrenal gland. The tumor was removed, but by that time, Lima had developed stage 4 cancer. News of Lima’s passing was made public by his mother, Filomena Lima, who says she received the tragic news from Devin’s fiance, who had been living with him. “My son has passed away,” Filomena wrote on Facebook. “He was struggling for thirteen months since his diagnosis. He passed about 2:45 in the morning.” “We are not good,” Filomena added. “I’m not good.” Fischetti founded LFO along with the group’s primary songwriter, Rich Cronin, back in 1995. Lima joined the band just before the vocalists gained national fame on the strength of their hit “Summer Girls,” best remembered for its buoyant vibe and timely lyrics about “girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch.” The group followed that up with several more modest hits, such as “Girl on TV” and “Every Other Time.” As a trio, Lima, Fischetti, and Cronin sold more than 4 million records worldwide. Tragically, Cronin passed away following a battle with Leukemia in 2010. The group disbanded following Cronin’s death, but Lima and Fischetti reunited to tour and perform as LFO in 2017. Aa a duo, they released a single entitled “Perfect 10” in the summer of 2017. Sadly, it was shortly thereafter that doctors diagnosed Lima with cancer. LFO – Summer Girls On social media, thousands are paying tribute to Lima and the music he created that was such a memorable part of their adolescent years. “I’m devastated to hear about LFO’s Devin Lima. He was my idol and mentor,” tweeted singer and media personality Gavin Thomas. “I learned so much from him vocally over the years. I feel so lucky to have interviewed him on the podcast. Rest easy, bro. Our thoughts go out to Lima’s family during this incredibly difficult time. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
