Well, not quite, LOL. Cattrall will executive produce and star in her own series based on the British series Sensitive Skin, in which she'll play a "middle-aged wife and mother in New York who rediscovers her sexuality and begins to question her place in the world and the choices she has made in life." Sounds like a cross between a mid-life crisis and the typical successful New Yorker woman's life (minus the kids of course.) I wonder if she'll make sure there are plenty of yummy shoes and dresses on set.

Sarah Jessica Parker apparently got a used frock for the New York premiere of "Sex and the City." Olivier Theyskens put Parker in a silver dress by Nina Ricci that had already been worn by Lindsay Lohan AND Vogue's Lauren Santo Domingo, even after he assured her no one else had worn it. Wow. Surely this sort of thing is embarrassing for a celebrity -- especially one making the rounds for a fashion-centric movie -- but not as embarrassing as it is for the designer who obviously lost serious cool points. Parker, often portrayed in real-life as a humble sweetie pie, handled it with some degree of aplomb. My question: Why didn't she just wear Bitten?

In the spirit of Sex and the City hitting theaters today, I have to ask: what's your shoe personality? Mine is a toss up between these classic and chic Jimmy Choo's (very Charlotte, no?) and these sexy, cabaret inspired pumps by Christian Louboutin, which scream Samantha to me.
The New York Times has eight clips from the movie up, including an extended trailer that suggests Big doesn't show up to his & Carrie's wedding, Steve cheats on Miranda, Samantha ends up marrying Smith (or at least strongly considers it), and Charlotte's three year old daughter hangs out with the crew all the time -- including their coffee catch-up talk about sex. They also wear a lotta print dresses and pretty pinchy shoes.
Can't wait!!

How long you can stand in your coolest -- and cruelest -- shoes? From those strappy sandals that should come with a two-pack of Tylenol to the dominatrix boots that hurt so bad they've never left your apartment, 10 New Yorkers confess. Check out our gallery and get a lil' insight into why Carrie and her Choo-wearing crew needed so many Cosmos!
"These Miu Mius kill my feet if I wear them longer than three hours. But I love them so :-)" -- Kenya
"Custom illustrated for me by Richie and Traver of Heatherette, I can't stand in them for more than an hour because they're plastic and have NO traction or support." -- Faran
"I call these my Rat Pack shoes 'cause, for some reason, when I wear them with black slim pants, a white shirt and black skinny tie, I feel like I'm channeling Sammy Davis, Jr.! They're a little scuffed, but when they're buffed they're cute -- though definitely not to be hoofing around in. I've got about 30 minutes standing in them before I get a little grouchy." -- Malcolm
"Three to four hours max! That peephole can be dangerous." -- Jackie
Three hours for the brown ones and about eight hours for the striped ones."
-- Elsa
(left) "These were my wedding shoes and I wore them for 16 hours -- their time limit is actually closer to two hours. I didn't feel two of the toes on my left for about nine days after the wedding." -- Aya
(right) "I couldn't even put a time limit on these because I've never
managed to wear them past my front door... I no longer wear leather, these boots epitomize the bad karma I'm hoping to work my way through." -- Cherrybomb
"They're Gucci -- the only designer shoes that I own, and I bought them on Bluefly... They are semi- comfortable for about 40 minutes, but I actually endured four hours of standing in them for a party once!" -- Kylie
"I bought these Christian Louboutins in London. They aren't the highest of heels -- but the 'buckle' is not very well placed. It digs into the toes like a vice gripping a piece of wood. They are quite pretty though, so I endure the pain. I wore them to our holiday party and thought I was going to hurl them off the top of the building by hour two. Instead, I had a couple extra glasses of wine, four extra strength Tylenol -- and pretended my feet did not exist. :) All of this and yet, I continue to wear them." -- Stacy
Does this image of four well-heeled, thirty-something New Yorkers with varying hair colors, click-clacking on the Upper East Side look familiar? I have high hopes for ABC's upcoming fashion-industry drama "Cashmere Mafia" as SATC's Darren Star and Patricia Field are both on board. Field says her approach to dressing our heroines again lies between "reality and fantasy," though this preview suggests there won't be a tutu in sight. Whew.

Costume designer Patricia Field must be doing cartwheels this week at the news that the long-rumored "Sex and the City" movie is now a go according to TV Guide. Nearly ten years after we first wondered, "What is that big ugly flower doing on Carrie's tank top?" it will be exciting to see how many of the girls will be wearing Bitten, if Carrie has ditched her Manolos for Louboutins and whether Samantha has stopped wearing clothes altogether.
