The Mystery Of Sarah Jessica Parker's Mole

  • Did Sarah Jessica Parker remove her "famous" mole? You know, the one on her chin? (And while we're at it, did she have, as some claim, a series of subtle nose jobs? [This Is London, Awful Plastic Surgery]
  • Speaking of procedures, what did Katherine Heigl do to her lips? [Awful Plastic Surgery]
  • Natalie Cole has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Her doctor says, "Natalie has had a terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative." She is experiencing side-effects of the drugs, like fatigue, muscle aches and dehydration, but she is doing well. The disease is most likely from her past drug use. [People]
  • Lindsay Lohan has been satisfying her DUI requirements, including a trip to the morgue. She'll have to do an alcohol education class next. Think she'll ace it? [TMZ]
  • Amy Poehler on The Office spinoff? Really? Really? Just as long as she still does Weekend Update. [Reuters]

I Hope You Were At Least A Little Tipsy, Jesse Jackson

  • Want to hear Jesse Jackson say something embarrassing and regrettable about cutting Obama's nuts out that is probably even more regrettable considering the supposed context is some shit about how Barack Obama needs to stop focusing so much on taking black men to task for being bad role models? Then turn on O'Reilly at 8! Yeah, I'm choosing beer in this case. [Drudge]
  • Test missile launches always seem like the ten million dollar equivalent of showing up at your ex-boyfriend's party with some hot dude you blow at around midnight in the corner, in full view of at least three of his closest friends. Which is to say, they're just sort of inexplicably lame to me but it's the sort of behavior that shows you know exactly how to fuck with dudes. [WSJ]
  • Sure you can get mad at Obama for supporting this rotten warrantless wiretapping retroactive immunity crap, but do you really think "swing voters" would buy that he doesn't support the U.S. Constitution solely on grounds that he's an Allah-worshiping terrorist? [Salon]
  • Handy "analogy for the whole fucking economy" of the day #1: My grandfather's people are about to start getting paid in Euros. [WSJ]

Sadie Frost's Apparel Company Accused Of Racism Against Ex-Employee

  • Jude Law-ex Sadie Frost's company, Frost-French, has been accused of firing a sales associate based on her race. The highly-experienced Aba Yankah was hired over the phone, but when she showed up for work, she claims the store's manager was cold, subjected her to demeaning tasks and then summarily fired her without justification. While a tribunal has found that Yankah did not prove outright racism, they have judged that the company's explanation to be inadequate and compensated the plaintiff for damages and lost income to the tune of £5,000 ($9,800). [Daily Mail]
  • Vogue Italia pictures are up!! [NB: NSFW][Fashionista]
  • "An aging British model" was busted for shaving eight years off her age to get work. Apparently changing your birth certificate qualifies as tampering with official documents. [UPI]
  • Kanye West steals thunder by sporting his own line in the front row of fashion week. Apparently the Milan fixture "was kicking it in the front row at Louis Vuitton, kitted out in a teal T-shirt, khakis and a denim jacket accessorized with a Michael Jackson button and a chunky red Lego heart. What appeared to be a silk LV scarf billowed from his back pocket." [Los Angeles Times]

Sarah Jessica Parker Shows Range By Playing Wealthy, White New York Woman

You know the drill: when Hollywood actresses aren't being scrutinized for their looks by dude-centered gossip blogs then they're being given roles laced in stereotypes. The latest round of casting announcements proves to us that female stereotypes in films are here to stay (and probably won't go away with any actor's strike that may come up). This week, we have a large group of heavy-hitters: SJP decides to branch out her acting abilities and play a wealthy single woman living in New York in a new chick-lit-to-chick-flick film; Tilda Swinton gets seduced by Nic Cage; and Hilary Duff seduces a writer. All those and more, along with our assessments, after the jump. More »

Loose Lips OMG you guys, those rumors about Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce? True! Apparently the Times of London, a reputable source and not just a pulpy tabloid, Madge has hired Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his recent horrendous divorce. Oh and also? Madge and Guy have no pre-nup. Let's get ready to rumble! • Christina Aguliera says she didn't give a hoot about politics until her son was born. What about the politics of assless chaps? She has been very involved with that platform for years now. • Sarah Jessica Parker is in talks to star in the film adaptation of Karen Quinn's novel the Ivy Chronicles, which the Hollywood Reporter describes as "an up-to-date take about class and the single woman in Manhattan." What a departure for her. [Perez, Us,People]

Marie Claire Celebrates Saturation & The City!

Well look who's still going and going and going and going!!! (On the UK edition too. Moe checked!) Anyhow this month Marie Claire did something truly innovative and wrote out the word "and" in lieu of the customary ampersand. Just kidding, silly! The actually innovative thing the magazine's editors did was print issues of the magazine with four different covers. Funnily enough, the only one we saw had Sarah Jessica Parker! I wonder how they figured out how many copies of the each issue to print. Don't you wish you could be the proverbial fly on the whiteboard at that meeting? ("Let's see, 80,000 Sarah Jessicas will cover the nation's airports and convenience stores, 10,000 Kim Catralls strategically distributed to all zip codes known to contain sex shops and or gyms with an 80% or higher male clientele, 20,000 Kristen Davises for the Wal-Mart account and...think 79 Cynthia Nixons would be enough to cover the trekkie collector community?") Seriously though, no we don't really want to be at that meeting. Because then we would have to think of cover lines like "The Gossip! The Glamour! The Truth!" And the truth is they don't pay us the big bucks for a reason here! The truth about "How losing weight lost me friends" and so much more, after the jump. More »

Loose Lips Oooh, scandalous! Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick admit to enjoying the occasional cigarette. God, where do they get off, being actual human beings. • Janet Jackson was reportedly asked by Nicole Richie to perform at her forthcoming nuptials to Joel Madden. Fingers crossed for an impromptu duet with daddy Lionel. • Paula Abdul and her boyfriend, restaurateur J.T. Torregiani, have split up. But they lasted an entire year, which is like seven years in Hollywood relationship time. [NYM, Daily Star, Us]

Anti-Aging Forty million focus groups can't be wrong! Apparently women are buying "anti-aging" products at younger and younger ages. Not that they will stop you from aging! Still: Gen Y is shelling out cash for anti-wrinkle potions and Sarah Jessica Parker, with her "feminist cred" is the one shilling them. And yes, she is 43. What does it mean? [Adweek ]

Sex(ism) and the City

New Yorker Film Critic Anthony Lane Has Female Trouble

The Time Out New York cover portraying the ladies of Sex and the City with duct tape over their maws isn't the only media coverage of the fabulous foursome that has the whiff of sexism about it. Newsweek critic Ramin Setoodeh discusses the near-violent dislike for Sex in the City that many men, particularly male movie critics, have shown. "Movie critics, an overwhelmingly male demographic, gave it such a nasty tongue lashing you would have thought they were talking about an ex-girlfriend," Setoodeh says. And no male critic was nastier than the New Yorker's Anthony Lane. Best Week Ever calls the caricature seen above left (which accompanied Lane's review) "almost masochistic in its grotesqueness." Setoodeh at Newsweek points out Lane's problematic phrasing when he describes Carrie and the girls as "hormonal hobbits, and all obsessed with a ring." But what galled me was Lane's description of Kim Cattrall's body, and it reminded me of his unfortunate criticism of Tina Fey's figure in his review of Baby Mama. More »

Sarah Jessica Parker Squeals In Dismay Over Time Out New York Cover

Remember when we said we wouldn't talk about Sex and the City anymore? Obviously, we were full of shit. (As evidenced by this post and its predecessor.) On Friday night, Sarah Jessica Parker and writer Michael Patrick King appeared on Charlie Rose talking about the myriad magazine covers with the SATC stars' visages slapped on 'em. They were thrilled to pieces about the Vogue cover, delighted about the New York Magazine spread, but they were distinctly displeased about the Time Out New York cover depicting Carrie and the girls with duct tape on their mouths. Michael Patrick points out that no one was putting duct tape over Harrison Ford's mouth when he was doing scads of press for Indiana Jones. "Is it really that Sex and the City should shut up, or that women should shut up?" King wonders. Is the cover really sexist, or are King and Parker just upset about bad press? More »

Sex And The City, The Movie: The Insanity Begins In Earnest

In the weeks (and months) leading up to today — the theatrical release of the Sex and the City movie — everyone has been weighing in on what the show's real significance is, whether these wealthy, sexed-up characters are even feminists, and whether Carrie Bradshaw was even a friggin' sex writer. (In my opinion, she wasn't. She was more invested in dating dicks, not sucking them.) But finally, all the talk and the analyzing and searching for deeper meaning in this shallow show can stop for about 2.5 hours today, because I'm liveblogging the movie. I'm going to a regular old movie theater in Manhattan (the city is the 5th character, didn't ya know?). I'm dying to see who exactly is going to be there at 10:15 AM…and what kind of shoes they'll be wearing. Don't worry. I'll be taking pictures. More »

The closing paragraph of writer Plum Sykes' June 2008 Vogue cover story: "It's three o'clock and SJP has to run off to pick James up from school. Before she leaves she says that after SATC: TM is out, she will take the summer off to be with her son and start another film in the fall. Another perfume is in the works, and the clothing line is expanding. I wish her goodbye and pay the bill. As I wander home past the brownstones and boutiques, I can't help feeling a little nostalgic for the New York of the SATC years." Hmm, I can't help but wonder which "New York" this former "It Girl" is feeling nostalgic for: as far as I can tell, the New York of the SATC years is simply the on-screen, whitewashed, wealthy version of the New York that is now a reality off-screen.

The June Vogue Is So Very Confusing (Kind Of Like SJP's Awful Expression)

Why the long face, SJP? Perhaps you're confused, like us, about the pain-killer-induced art direction which resulted in your surprisingly unflattering visage on this month's cover? Maybe you can't quite follow your mise-en-abyme-filled profile where writer Plum Sykes totally just blurs the line between you, Carrie Bradshaw, a real Vogue photo shoot, a fake Vogue photo shoot, herself, and herself playing herself for the fake Vogue photo shoot which was kind of a real Vogue photo shoot because those pictures ended up in this month's issue. Okay, now we're totally lost. Kind of like the un-Vogue words "Let's Talk About Sex" on this month's cover. Maybe they got lost on their way to Cosmopolitan? (We also distinctly remember reading those headlines in In Touch or Life & Style or US Weekly in an article on this very same movie!) Anyway, after the jump, find out about the terrifying things floating in your water, the types of bridezillas Vogue is targeting, and what kind of pants you need to wear EVERYWHERE ... because after all, it's what's on the inside that counts.
