I don’t know how Sarah Jessica Parker does it, but a lot of her movies are staggering shit fortresses. Failure to Launch ? Did You Hear About the Morgans ? This weekend’s I Don’t Know How She Does It ? The Family Stone ? That movie made me feel like Diane Keaton’s cancer, and it’s still a Mensa candidate compared to today’s Bad Movie We Love: the epic, Tropical Skittle-colored trek to Abu Dhabi, Sex and the City 2 . It’s so famously bad that its bad reviews are famous. It’s the movie that asks the question, “How can we save a franchise that has devolved into materialistic fetishism?” and answers it with, “JEWELS.” Cheers, girls!
In this week’s new chick flick I Don’t Know How She Does It , Sarah Jessica Parker — she who had sex in the city, a bastion of modern female fabulosity and our generation’s go-to, couture-sheathed screen heroine in heels — attempts to solve the plight of the 21st century woman once more as Kate Reddy, a wife, mother of two, and financial analyst for a high-powered investment firm trying desperately to juggle “it all.” How many times do co-workers and colleagues ask her how she “does it?” A lot. That’s how much she’s doing. But it’s not the first time SJP’ s put her plucky feminine know-how to use in the movies to solve the routine problems of the modern woman.
Her 8-year-old son, James Wilkie, wants to be an actor, and he’s eager to start auditioning. But don’t get too excited, she isn’t sure when it will happen. Sarah Jessica Parker was interviewed for this Sunday’s PARADE magazine and the actress opened up about her home life and the future of “Sex and the City”. Check out some of the interview below: Her 8-year-old son, James Wilkie, wants to be an actor, and he’s eager to start auditioning. “I don’t want him to do it until after he goes to college: But part of me thinks maybe it’s better if he knows the truth now about how hard it is to be a working actor. I don’t know that he grasps what it took to get us here.” Parker acknowledges that her childhood left her with money anxieties and that she’s eager to capitalize on her earning power. “I have a lot of responsibilities outside myself. I have a large family. I want to know I can always be helpful. I guess I worry.” On tying with Angelina Jolie for the top spot on Forbes’ list of highest-earning actresses. “Where do they get these numbers? I didn’t plot a future like this, although I know some people do. When Matthew and I started working, all we knew is that we wanted to be great actors. I don’t think I ever thought about money or that people would know my name. I loooove the work! When I was a little girl getting free lunches in Cincinnati, could I imagine being on a list in Forbes magazine?” On the difficulty of balancing career and motherhood. “We’ve had two occasions recently where both Matthew and I were working, and it was so hard on the kids. Especially James Wilkie, because he can really articulate how he feels about our absence. On the other hand, there are big chunks of time when we’re home a lot more than conventionally working parents. So you hope to make up for it.” On fraternal twins Loretta and Tabitha. “They’re talking, they’re running, they need me. Loretta is deeply inquisitive: ‘Do you see that, do you hear that, Mama?’ She constantly checks that we are connecting with her.” Her sister is the family princess: “Tabitha does not give; she receives.” Babysitters? Yes. Live-in help? Not for them. “We love closing the door and having the only people in the house be our three children and us. It’s such a good feeling to know that we’re competent and capable and that it’s private.” On the things Broderick has helped her appreciate after nearly 20 years together. Baseball, Parmesan cheese, color (“Matthew’s mother was a painter, and he taught me to love colors and break all the rules”). She also says that “he’s given me a little cynicism,” noting that she used to take the world at face value but that her husband is more skeptical. “I’m less Pollyanna now. That’s probably healthy.” For her part, Parker has shared her love of ballet, and, she says, “I make him [get out and] do things. We go to the theater and we travel because I plan it.” Any chance for a third Sex and the City movie? “There is. I know what the story is. It’s a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is, what’s the right time to tell it?” There you have it folks. A lot of people were not happy with “Sex And The City 2,” with the money they could make off a third movie it seems like a given it will happen, but do you think it’s a mistake? What would you want to see happen in “Sex And The City 3″???

This just in from The Weinstein Company: Sarah Jessica Parker, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Alba, James Gandolfini and Rob Corddry are among the voice talent joining the studio’s 3-D animated family flick Escape From Planet Earth . Says co-writer/director Cal Brunker: ” Escape From Planet Earth has got it all… explosions, romance and a cast of hilarious aliens….what more could you ask for?” Oh, I dunno. A flow chart ? A shotgun? Let’s check out the full announcement and consider alternatives in the comments.
It’s one thing to read through the slow drip of casting notices about an omnibus Hollywood romantic comedy and think, “Well, this cast is getting gigantic.” It’s quite another to see it in action. So! Say hello to the trailer for New Year’s Eve , the non-sequel to Valentine’s Day that features no less than 20 famous people named in the onscreen credits. Was that Halle Berry?
Good news, no one! Sarah Jessica Parker has not fully closed the door on a third Sex and the City film: “I’d definitely tell that [third] story, and I know Michael would do it right,” she told the Los Angeles Times . “But maybe not now. Maybe in five years, you know?” Phew! That gives us plenty of time to come up with an appropriate title for what’s sure to be another bastion of cinematic brilliance. To get things started properly, your friends at Movieline have come up with 25 appropriate titles for Sex and the City 3 . Laugh along with them ahead, then feel free to add your own.
I originally downloaded these pictures for personal use. I don’t have a Sarah Jessica Parker, I just like to look at her pictures to get a good laugh and to put me in a positive state of mind, you know trying to figure out how that thing was good enough to get as famous as it did….realizing that anything is fucking possible with the right marketing behind it…cuz I have actually heard bitches say this woman is pretty….and the whole thing is real comedic. I thought she had a cameltoe in these pics…and figured there’s just something about bitches who look like meth addicted immigrant trannies named Chanel who pretend they are 25 looking for husbands to marry to make them legal citizens….you know with their cheap hair, cheap slutty outfits, haggard manly half paralyzed from the drug user face that really makes you feel at home…especially when it looks like a cameltoe…cuz it makes the whole experience far less homo…. Not that it matters. What does matter though is that I just posted a fucking Sarah Jessica Parker post and that’s gotta be a mistake on some fucking level.
We tasked you, our loyal readers, to go out there and take pictures for our Fashion’s Night Out Scavenger Hunt and, boy, did you people deliver. Here are the best snapshots you came up with, including multiple Anna Wintours! More
What’s even more inevitable than another iteration of the Law & Order franchise? Another spoof movie from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the duo who’ve turned what really should have been three-minute Funny or Die videos into the feature-length Epic Movie, Disaster Movie , and Date Movie . Their latest is Vampires Suck (but how will I know that it’s a spoof if it isn’t called Vampire Movie ?), and the very first joke of the trailer is directly ripped off from Twilight with Cheeseburgers , so you know we’re in good hands here.
