Seinfeld-ian Dating & Dumping Is So 20th Century
All dating columns should be cancelled until we evolve a new kind of genitalia or start dating on Jupiter, because they continue to rehash the same tired ideas from the past decade. Today, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's "Single Shot" columnist writes about people who dump significant others for Seinfeldian reasons, like because they oversalt their food or have bad hair. Do we really have to tell you that if you're dumping someone because of their sodium levels you probably never really liked him to begin with?

Girly Golddiggers Are Reeling From The Recession
"Everyone is looking for handsome, rich and charming men but there are less and less of them to go around." So says one of the comely women profiled by the NY Post's Page Six Magazine who openly admits to hunting a rich man — and, these days, failing. The money isn't flowing and as a result, neither are the free drinks and fancy dinners that a certain subset of beautiful women, in time-honored fashion, take as their due. What's weird about it is that admitting this doesn't seem to embarrass them at all. More »

Sex Writers Are Experiencing The Dark Side Of The Carrie Bradshaw Effect
Salon's Tracy Clark-Flory is wondering why a lot of sex writers are getting fired during these rough economic times. Paraphrasing the S.F. Chronicle's Violet Blue, Flory asks a bunch of sex writers, "If sex sells, why are sex writers getting the shaft?" More »

How To Be Single
How To Stay Sane: Don't See How To Be Single
When I read this morning that Drew Barrymore's Flower Films is slated to produce the film version of Sex and the City scribe Liz Tuccillo's newish book (it came out on June 10) How to Be Single, I can't say I was surprised. I had read How to Be Single before the Sex and the City movie came out in April, and I had meant to write about it but the book annoyed me so deeply I decided not to. Tuccillo, who also co-wrote He's Just Not That Into You, went to several different countries and interviewed women about their experiences living in singledom, and then vaguely fictionalized her travels to write How to Be Single.

Candace Bushnell May Be A Feminist, But That Doesn't Mean We Have To Like Her
Dear Pop Culture Universe, please, for the love of all that is entertainment, give us a female paradigm that is that is not Carrie Bradshaw. There's a profile of Sex and the City scribe / Carrie Bradshaw alter ego Candace Bushnell in the Times of London, which is only entertaining for the ambivalence the profiler, Janice Turner, feels towards the entirely superficial Bushnell. "She is rather intense and serious, vulnerable, and, most surprisingly, an ass-kicking feminist," Turner writes, before quickly (and cattily) describing Bushnell's eating habits. "Why there isn't a spare gram on her tiny frame is explained when we eat: she nibbles through an undressed salad and just half of her small rocket pizza, and I dispatch 90 per cent of our 'shared' dessert."

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.

Carrie Bradshaw's Method Of Investigative Journalism Gains Favor In China
How do transplanted Chinese in Manhattan feel about Sex & The City? What with the media's acknowledged reluctance to cover anything related Sex & The City, it's little wonder they hadn't gotten around to approaching it from this fascinating angle. Until now! Bilingual Wall Street Journal contributor Li Yuan, whose column "Beautiful Country" chronicles her life as a Chinese expat in New York for audiences in the US and Asia, attacks this subject in today's column, which she reported the way Carrie would: by asking her friends! "The show didn't mention how the characters became successful and rich," points out a 24-year-old banker. "I'm sure they worked very hard when they were my age." A 28-year-old trader has a more jaundiced view. "I find some of its content pretty disgusting," he said. "To me, New York turned out to be more like the city in Friends. More » -

Marie Claire Presents…Another Month Of Sex & The City Beach Reading! (How Will You Ever Repay Them?)
More Sex? Really? Oh, I know. But I also know you all are suckers for a hack photoshop job, which I'll share with you after the jump, and while I'm at it I'm just going to share what I learned from reading the accompanying piece, which I did. So: we learn Sarah Jessica Parker never liked the "Berger storyline," even as she realized it was "necessary" — like the Iraq war? — and that the idea behind the Berger romance is "what happens when it's the right guy at the wrong time," which should not be confused with the Big storyline, which was "The wrong guy at a succession of wrong times who mysteriously, through some combination of resignation and/or impotence, transforms himself into the right guy, because that is a message we should really be sending to modern women; this love stuff, it is a WAR OF ATTRITION YOU KNOW." Oh, and remember the scene where Charlotte meets Harry and he sweats on her paper? More » -

Sex And The Shitty
The Sex & The City movie's promotional website features an obnoxious application allowing users to "hack" into Carrie Bradshaw's MacBook and IM with the "characters." Their answers are so stupid I could have probably programmed the thing myself, so you pretty much have to create your own fun by asking hilarious questions, but I don't have the patience for that so it's a good thing there are other blogs in the world. Click the pic for Videogum's most biting query. [Videogum] More »

36 Straight Hours Of Sex (And The City), Day Two
Yeah, yeah, the episode ("The Drought") where Carrie worries that she has ruined everything with Big via one dainty, ladylike fart is patently ridic. Worse, though, is the episode halfway through season 2, "Evolution," where she confesses to the gals that she did a "number two" at Big's for the first time. Charlotte covers her ears. Seriously, how many times do these people say "cum" and they can't even say "poop?"

The First American Sex & The City Movie Review Revealed At Last!
Yesterday Jessica and I were interviewed on the subject of Carrie Bradshaw; do we like her, is she a narcissist, etc. And the utterances I found coming out of my mouth surprised me. I was, like, defending Carrie Bradshaw, holding that she was a victim of a societal self-absorption addiction that was a natural outgrowth of New York's suspended adolescence, and arguing that Sarah Jessica Parker, in all her suspended adolescent charm, had salvaged from the grim creations of Candace Bushnell — Candace Bushnell being one of those icky dogmatic narcissists who sees only hypocrisy in New Yorkers who claim to have agendas other than fame and shoes and real estate — a sort of heart. In the forgiving glow of distant drunk memory, Sex & The City was a poignant statement about the limitations of all that, a subtle expose of the atrophy that results from the neglect of the basic human need to be needed. "OMG, I'm so kind of exited to see it suddenly!" I told Jess as we walked past a billboard displaying it. So imagine my delight when today, the first ever American review of the movie appears in Anna's RSS feed! More »

New Sex And The City Clips Leaked
Some new clips from the Sex and the City movie have leaked and — surprise! — Carrie cares way too much about money, material things and what other people think! (But we already knew that.) There aren't any real spoilers here that we didn't already know (Carrie and Big are engaged; they're moving in together; Jennifer Hudson can't act her way out of a Birkin bag), although Samantha is curiously absent from all the scenes. What we do learn from these clips is just how much Carrie makes us cringe — from clits to toes — and how we still can't wait to see this stupid fucking movie. More »

Sarah Jessica Parker Doesn't Care About Money, Except When She Does
I predict that a lot of people are going to pillory Sarah Jessica Parker for her comments in this week's New York magazine cover story, "Sarah Jessica Parker Would Like a Few Words With Carrie Bradshaw." The crux of the piece is Parker's apparent life of contradictions: she hates things that are "vulgar" and yet she spent years playing a freewheeling sex columnist (albeit one who never took her bra off); she helped usher in a Cosmo-drinking Manolo-clad, expensive-cupcake-eating era in New York, but laments the loss of the gritty, unsanitized Manhattan that existed when she moved here in 1976. Writer Emily Nussbaum paints these contradictions as intrinsic to Parker's charming personality, though I think it will be easy for others to see the internal conflicts as hypocrisy. Thing of it is that Parker is just like every other urban bobo, who partially misses the creative poverty of her youth but mostly likes the arugula at the now-conveniently located Whole Foods. And I don't fault her for it.

Sex And The Shitty
Mere weeks before the debut of the hotly anticipated Sex and the City movie, Business Week blogger Lindsey Gerdes is wondering if the Carrie Bradshaw brand of empowerment gives feminism a bad name. Gerdes romanticized the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha when she was in college, but once she was in the real workaday world, she realized that there were much more suitable role models. "The bottom line," Gerdes writes. "If you were going to choose a gender-specific role model, why one of these four cardboard characters? As American women have won more and more rights, the feminist movement has had the luxury of branching off in many, even contradictory, directions. Feminist icons run the gamut from activist Gloria Steinem to porn star Jenna Jamison...not to mention our first viable female Presidential candidate in Hillary Clinton." [Business Week]

From the mailbag: looks like Sex and the City casting directors are trolling for a pair of suitably adorable brats on the internets to portray Charlotte's baby. You get $130 per kid, so get ready to whore those tots out before they're even speaking! The babies, of course, will probably be Jewish, probably to Ann Coulter's everlasting chagrin. Unless they're boys, that is. [Craigslist]
