‘Sex And The City 2’: Meet The Sequel’s Sexy New Men

Noah Mills and Max Ryan play Samantha’s latest conquests. By Jocelyn Vena Photo: Charles Eshelman/FilmMagic While the ladies of “Sex and the City” are, of course, at the heart of the franchise, of the franchise, the men have always been central to their story lines. And in “Sex and the City 2,” fans are greeted by some familiar faces, from husbands Harry, Steve and Mr. Big to gay besties Stanford and Anthony. (Even Carrie’s carpenter ex Aidan makes an appearance!) “It was pure joy for me. These are wonderful people and they’ve been kind to me,” said Jason Lewis, who reprised his role as Samantha Jones’ onetime flame and client, actor Smith Jerrod. “I get to come in and do the fun part!” he told MTV News. But there are some new faces in the sequel, in theaters now. Both guys happen to be Samantha’s latest conquests. The PR maven, played by Kim Cattrall, first sets her sights on Anthony’s younger construction worker brother, Nicky, played by Hollywood newcomer Noah Mills . The pair meet at Anthony’s wedding and soon end up where Samantha and her dates often do — the bedroom. And that was just fine with Mills. “You’ll see, sort of a quick, people say “love interest.” I’m not sure that love explains their relationship but I definitely have a little moment with her,” Mills laughed. “He’s sort of a New York guy. Him and Samantha, uh, meet.” Max Ryan steps in as Samantha’s other beau, an architect named Rikard; they meet in Adu Dhabi . Ryan explained that Cattrall’s character may have finally met her match. “I thought you were going to say meat … Thank god you didn’t say meat!” Ryan joked when we caught up with him at the NYC premiere on Monday, taking possible offense to the term “fresh meat.” “Well we don’t know who’s the conquest, and who’s been conquest-er. I think it’s a mutual understanding of two people understanding where they are in their life.” Who is your favorite of the new “SATC2” men? Tell us in the comments!

Les Grossman Shows The ‘Risky Business’ Of 2010 MTV Movie Awards

See how the ‘Tropic Thunder’ movie exec made the famous tighty-whities scene a reality. By Jocelyn Vena In honor of the upcoming 2010 MTV Movie Awards , Les Grossman (of “Tropic Thunder” fame) is sharing some “Great Moments in Movie History,” starting with a behind-the-scenes stroke of genius on the 1983 set of “Risky Business.” As we hear the intro of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll,” we’re ready for a pants-less Joel Goodsen to come sliding out — only this time, he’s wearing khakis. Grossman makes it clear that he is not a fan of the chinos. “Did anyone else see this? Someone just took a dump in my eyes!” he shouts at the crew before tearing off the pants. “This is a teen movie, and teens love a–. Now dance, monkey! Let’s roll on this.” With that last-minute decision, movie history was made. Grossman is the latest high-profile name to get involved with the MTV Movie Awards promos. Justin Bieber recently hooked up with the show’s host, Aziz Ansari, and “The Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner, who yelled at the pop star to “relax on the chips there, cowboy.” Also, former Movie Awards host Sarah Silverman , along with Zac Efron, Diddy and Kristen Bell, gave fans a history of Ansari in a promo. “There was this Halloween once,” Zac Efron said of Aziz’s past displays of heroism. “Someone needed to step up and dress like a pumpkin, but no one wanted to do it except Aziz. He saved a lot of lives that day. And that’s why I’m glad he’s hosting the MTV Movie Awards.” Don’t miss the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , airing live from Los Angeles on Sunday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

‘Sex And The City 2’ Stars Pick Their Favorite Boyfriends Of All Time

Some of their obscure choices might surprise even hard-core ‘SATC’ fans. By Jocelyn Vena Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex and the City 2” Photo: Warner Bros. Over the years, there have been many memorable men in the lives of the four women on “Sex and the City.” There have been husbands and bad first dates, heartbreakers and one-night stands — and then there are the men who left an impression on the four women who play Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. Cynthia Nixon said now-husband Steve is her choice for Miranda’s best boyfriend of all time. “Of course, David Eigenberg is the favorite boyfriend,” she told MTV News. “But perhaps because he’s my husband, he doesn’t count.” Her next favorite is a fan favorite. “So I would say Dr. Robert. I would say Blair Underwood.” For Kristin Davis, who plays the slightly prudish Charlotte, her top contender had to be Hollywood playboy Wylie Ford, who showed up in season two to bring her along for one fast-paced ride. “Brian Van Holt,” she said, picking the “Cougar Town” actor as her fave. “Do I have to say why?” Leave it to Kim Cattrall to have the wildest choice for her top “SATC” boy toy. We’ll just let her explain. “Bobby Cannavale [in season three]. I thought he was great. I think he’s a good actor, and he was so much fun to play with, and he was up for it,” she dished. “We did the ‘funky sp—‘ episode together, which is a tough one, because it could have gone terribly wrong.” While Aidan and Mr. Big are the fans’ favorites for Carrie’s men, Sarah Jessica Parker opted for politician Bill Kelley from season three. “John Slattery,” she said without missing a beat.

Sarah Jessica Parker Picks Her Favorite ‘Sex And The City 2’ Scene

‘When I got to that stuff, I thought, ‘All bets are off,’ ‘ Parker says of scene involving Aidan. By Jocelyn Vena Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex and the City 2” Photo: Warner Bros. In “Sex and the City 2,” opening Thursday, Carrie makes a trek with her girls to Abu Dhabi, where she runs into onetime love Aidan . While fans are already weighing in on the great Mr. Big vs. Aidan debate, Sarah Jessica Parker told MTV News it was that pivotal scene in which the exes meet again that stands out as her “favorite.” “One of my favorite, favorite scenes that [director/screenwriter Michael Patrick King] wrote, and I can’t explain why, is when Carrie is in the souk and she buys the pair of shoes and she talks to the beautiful man — that great actor who played the merchant — and then she turns around and she sees Aidan,” Parker said. The actress, whose turn as Carrie Bradshaw in both TV and film has made the character iconic, said that credit for those memorable scenes belongs to King. “When I got to that stuff [about Aidan], I thought, ‘All bets are off.’ I just loved the way he wrote that entire middle section of the movie,” Parker continued. “I love everything that he wrote, but that, visually, just in terms of the visual, it just really was arresting.” Parker explained that during the filmmaking process she’s “so much a part of the beginning,” but she falls back once King starts working his magic on a script. “He really does go away and lock himself up and write alone,” she said. “And it really is a solitary endeavor. … There were visuals that were really, really, really important for me when I was first reading the script. Michael writes visuals as beautifully as he does words.” Which “Sex and the City” scenes that really stand out for you? Let us know in the comments! Related Videos It’s ‘Sex And The City 2’ Week!

Is ‘Sex And The City 3’ On The Way? Kim Cattrall Weighs In

‘I think there’s more stories to be told,’ she tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kim Cattrall Photo: MTV News The second “Sex and the City” movie hasn’t even hit theaters yet, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t wondering if the girls will get together for a third flick. Kim Cattrall said the only person who can decide the fate of the franchise is writer/director Michael Patrick King, and if he wants her to come back again to play man-crazy PR maven Samantha Jones, she’s there in an instant — as long as she doesn’t have to come up with the story line. “That’s totally not up to me, thank God! Thank God I don’t have to write that third script,” she told MTV News while promoting “Sex and the City 2,” which hits theaters Thursday. “That would be so daunting, but that’s up to Michael.” While the decision isn’t hers, she certainly is rooting for there to be another flick. “I don’t know if there will be a third,” she said. “I hope there will be. I think there’s more stories to be told. That’s totally his call.” So when will they stop? “Well, I think the only way it will continue is if Michael feels there’s more to be said. I think once we start repeating ourselves, it’s time to say goodbye,” she said. “Maybe that’s in five years, maybe that’s in 10. Who knows? I hope we can do it for as long as the audience is there and the characters are interesting and growing and changing.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Sex and the City 2.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Taio Cruz Sexts With Ke$ha In ‘Dirty Picture’ Video

The clip ends with the two together at a sexy house party. By Jocelyn Vena Taio Cruz Photo: MTV News Taio Cruz ‘s new clip for his track “Dirty Picture,” which on Monday (May 24), opens with the singer speeding through the desert alone. Before long Cruz is at a house party where everyone is drinking and sending pretty PG-rated dirty texts, a fitting idea considering the song is all about sexting. All Cruz wants his lady friend to do is “take a dirty picture.” While Cruz is grinding up against some of the female revelers at the bash, enter Ke$ha , all dolled up, hanging out in the ladies’ room responding to Cruz’s call to arms, asking that her man do the same. Then we’re back in the desert with Cruz, who’s thinking about his woman again. And once again we’re back at the party, and it seems that there’s not one person who isn’t getting into the sexting action, kissing, touching and bumping and grinding as the flashes flash. Ke$ha’s role in the video is limited; eventually she and Cruz are hanging out while elsewhere ladies are getting alcohol poured all over them. The video ends with Cruz and Ke$ha canoodling, telling their loved ones to “click, click, snap” that dirty picture their way. Cruz recently talked to MTV News about working with Ke$ha on the track, noting that Lady Gaga was his initial choice. But Ke$ha won him over after producer Dr. Luke told him all about her. “She looked really sexy, and I just thought she was talented. Her voice was awesome,” he said. “It had this — I hope she won’t mind me saying this, but her voice has this kind of yodely quality to it, the way that she does things and the way that she ends words. I just loved that quality about it.” Related Artists Taio Cruz Ke$ha

Bret Michaels Says He’s ‘Not Back 100 Percent Yet’

Despite recent health crises, Michaels tells the ‘Today’ show, ‘I’m ready to rock.’ By Jocelyn Vena After beating Holly Robinson Peete on Sunday night’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” Bret Michaels sat down with Meredith Vieira on the “Today” show on Monday (May 24) to say that although he’s not back to his old self yet, he is ready to make the strides to get there. “It’s great and awesome to be here. … The doctor said it’s not very smart to be here, but I’m not a very smart guy in that capacity. I really knew I wanted to be [at the finale],” he told the anchor. “This is the truth: I’m not back 100 percent yet, but I’m one of those guys that I have to have a goal, and I’m very driven, and I say this truthfully, I love life.” Michaels noted during the interview that his intention of winning “Celebrity Apprentice” hadn’t changed even after the several medical crises he’s experienced in the past month. “When I went in there to do the show, I was committed 100 percent,” he said. “Everybody wants to win for their cause and I went in there, I had no intention to hurt anybody. My intention was to do the best job I can do. When I had the hemorrhage I thought it was over. I got to tell you I was so happy to have been there. I set my goal.” While Michaels is taking his recovery day by day, he says that he’s looking forward to performing again, including his planned summer tour. “I say this much, I don’t know that I’m ready yet and I’m going to take it in baby steps,” he explained. “I’ve had so many amazing fans. … I’m ready to get out of the hospital and on the road. I’m ready to rock.” Related Photos Bret Michaels’ Career In Photos Related Artists Bret Michaels

Ashley Tisdale Promises ‘Special Cameo’ In ‘High School Musical’ Spin-Off

‘It’s a secret,’ Tisdale tells MTV News about which character returns for Disney Channel flick. By Jocelyn Vena Ashley Tisdale Photo: MTV News Ashley Tisdale isn’t going to be the only person reviving her “High School Musical” character for her spin-off flick, “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventures.” Executive producer Tisdale hasn’t ruled out getting bestie Vanessa Hudgens on-board for the movie, which will air on the Disney Channel, but who else is she planning to cast? Well, she isn’t telling. “I know [Vanessa’s] super-busy because she’s about to promote her movies and stuff,” she told MTV News at the CW upfront where she was promoting her new show, “Hellcats,” adding, “But we definitely do have a special cameo. You just don’t know which character it is. I do. I just can’t tell you. It’s a secret!” While she’s keeping “High School Musical” fans wondering who will appear in the spin-off of the beloved franchise, she does say that right now she’s gearing up to get back into the Sharpay Evans headspace. “We just started doing everything with it. We just started the photo shoots,” she explained. “I’ve been in wardrobe. I leave in like four days for Toronto. It’s a character that’s kind of underneath my skin.” Fans may be used to seeing Sharpay as the outlandish, slightly flamboyant chick in the “High School Musical” movies, and she says that this film will show a new side of the character. “You just take her out whenever you need to. I do think of her as her own person, but it’s a lot of fun,” she said. “The script shows Sharpay in a totally different light. Everyone’s in college. She’s in New York City trying to fulfill her dreams on Broadway.” Who do you think will return for the movie? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Ashley Tisdale
