Yesterday we learned that Kim Cattrall, one of the principal stars of Sex and the City, made the bold confirmation that a sequel to the Sex and the City Movie would definitely be made “hopefully” next year. Today, Sarah Jessica Parker, THE star of SaTC, responds by saying that the sequel IS NOT a done deal and that plans are still in the talking stage. E! News confirms that Warner Bros. Studios is in the negotiation phase of sequel plans. So while it’s not 100% assured that the sequel will be made, talks are underway to get the deal signed and sealed:

Hold the Cosmos – for now, at least. That’s the word from Sarah Jessica Parker, who says that a sequel to Sex and the City: The Movie is still in the talking stage. Her announcement came just one day after costar Kim Cattrall seemed to hint that the follow-up film was a done deal. (”Yes, there will [be another movie] …,” she said on a British TV show. “We will do the sequel next summer.”) But Parker insists Cattrall’s words were a bit premature. “I’m thrilled to know Kim is excited but all the deals are not yet done,” Parker said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “With the wind on our heels, we hope to make it a reality.”

And this from E! News: Attention straight men of the world: Time to work on that excuse for why you can’t go see the Sex and the City movie sequel with your girl. ‘Cause as of today, it is officially in the works. “They’re in negotiations,” a rep for Warner Brothers Studios has just confirmed to us.

It’s pretty much as I expected … while SJP and WB Studios haven’t outright refuted Cattrall’s assertion that the sequel will definitely be made, they are offering up cautions that “the deal is not done”, implying that the sequel may or may not happen. I would bet good money that we will get a Sex and the City Movie sequel. In fact, I suspect we will get at least three 3 SaTC movies overall … kind of like the Matrix Triology but with Manolo Blahniks. In the end, I think all this chatter back and forth about the sequel is great … the SaTC folks want us to wonder about a possible sequel so that we can start making plans for our SaTC 2 parties. The sequel may not come next year but I’m pretty sure it’ll come soon.

Woot! A new day has dawned here in America … and the World … and while there is still much to celebrate, there is also much work to get done in the aftermath. It’s also time to get back to the goss ;) Yesterday I created a photo album of friends and Pink readers proudly showing off the I Voted stickers (or handmade signs) that they were given after they voted yesterday and today we get to see a whole bunch of photos of celebs showing off their I Voted stickers, too. Americans came out in record numbers to vote yesterday and those numbers included celebs … here are a few of them who exercised their right to vote yesterday:

Depending on where the celebs live, these photos were snapped in NYC and here in LA. Here is another batch of celebs who came out to vote yesterday:

I’m pretty sure that some of these celebs were voting for President for the first time in their lives and it seems pretty safe to assume that the lion’s share of them added to President-elect Barack Obama’s historic win.

I’ve been getting emails and messages from around the World of folks cheering on Obama’s victory as news of his election as the 44th President of the United States of America made headlines around the world. Here are a few of the UK papers splashing the news across their covers:

David tells me that newsstands all over NYC are selling out of copies of The New York Times, etc. so I would suggest that y’all snap up your local newspapers — wherever in the country you are — and put them away for posterity. I’m just sayin’ ;)

Madonna was in concert in San Diego, CA last night and was on stage when news of Obama’s win was announced … she happily broke the news to her assembled audience and talked a little bit about the momentous nature of the win while on stage. After the jump, check out video of her impromptu speech … (more…)

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker reported for duty at the NYC Headquarters of the Obama/Biden campaign last night to man the phone banks for a few hours in order to make calls on Obama’s behalf to undecided voters. Not content with just showing up for the glitzy Hollywood fundraisers, SJP rolled up her sleeves and got down in the trenches with other committed Obama campaign volunteers:

I think it’s very impressive for someone like SJP to put her money where her mouth is (in this case, literally) and actually work for a campaign like this. It is very easy for celebs to just show up at fundraisers, donate money and be on their way but you gotta respect the celebs who care enough to actually put in an modicum of effort to work on a political campaign like this. I’m happy to report that my BFF Sarah will be donating some of her time this Sunday to volunteer for the Obama/Biden campaign in her Dearborn, MI neighborhood. The presidential campaign is getting down to the wire and folks are really stepping up in the last days to try and make a difference and bring much needed CHANGE to this country. It’s not too late for YOU to get involved in your neighborhood:

Click HERE to find out how you can get involved in the Obama/Biden campaign in these few remaining days. Having worked on previous political campaigns for the Democrats, I can assure you … it’s an insanely rewarding experience. Can’t volunteer?

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and others (except for Kristin Davis) were all on hand at the New York Public Library for the Sex and the City: The Movie DVD Launch Party here in NYC last night. Here are a few pics from the event’s pink carpet arrivals:

It’s curious that Kristin Davis would skip out on an event like this … she happily signed on to make the promo rounds for the SaTC Movie release in May and even hosted, with only director Michael Patrick King, the “LA Premiere” of the movie (which I was lucky enough to attend). Could there be behind the scenes turmoil running amok amongst the SaTC ladies again? Generally, I’m a fan of SJP’s red carpet looks (I didn’t even mind that ridiculous hat she wore to the UK premiere of the SaTC Movie) but I’m not a fan of the obvs Audrey Hepburn rip-off. I’m actually surprised she didn’t walk around with a really long cigarette holder to go with the outfit … originality, please.

Last week Sarah Jessica Parker and her hubby Matthew Broderick were snapped enjoying a date night together about a week after new claims surfaced that the couple were having marriage trubs due Matthew’s alleged infidelity (an allegation made by Star magazine). This week, the couple have relocated to the beachy Hamptons to continue their show of unity:

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick fled to their beach home for some alone time following press allegations the actor had cheated on his wife. The couple and their five-year-old James Wilke escaped to their house in The Hamptons, upstate New York last month following the reports. Far from her fashionable Sex And The City character Carrie, SJP dressed casually for a day on the beach in blue board shorts and a stripy vest, which showed off her golden tan. Meanwhile her husband of 11 years Matthew appeared a tad sunburnt as he covered up in a grey t-shirt and patterned blue shorts. The couple spent the day on the beach playing with their son and Jack Russell terrier in the sand for a traditional family day out. At the end of the day, Sarah Jessica, 43, tied up the numerous buckets and spades left discarded on the sand by their son, as Matthew kept the dog occupied.

Despite the fact that they don’t look all that happy in these pics together, I would venture to guess that things are just fine between the two of them … well, about as fine as they’ve always been. I just hope they really are ok. They have such a cute family, I hate to see Carrie Bradshaw and Ferris Bueller break-up.

In an effort to show the world that everything is fine in their marriage (at least, that’s the way it looks to me) after a new claim was made by Star magazine that the couple are in trubs, Sarah Jessica Parker and her hubby Matthew Broderick were snapped out on a date together in NYC last night … something that they rarely if ever do. Here are a couple pics of the happy couple:

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick were photographed having a date night in New York on Wednesday following a report that the actor had an affair with a 25-year-old woman. The couple, who are rarely pictured together in public, emerged from a Midtown restaurant Wednesday night, Broderick’s arm wrapped around his wife as they smiled at photographers. It’s the first time the pair, who have been married for 11 years, have been seen together since Star magazine claimed he had a three-month relationship with another woman while Parker was filming the “Sex and the City” movie. Broderick and Parker’s reps never responded to FOXNews.com’s request for comment on the Star magazine report, and Broderick never commented on the matter.

Personally, I don’t necessarily believe the Star report that any infidelity occurred in their marriage but I totally get why the couple may have decided to step out together for this photo op. Just one date night can do much to undue some of the damage done by the report. In the end, tho, it’s impossible to really know what may or may not be going on in a couple’s marriage like this. Mebbe I just want to believe that everything is fine for these two cuz I like them both so much. I hope they’re doing ok and that this date night together was more genuine rather than more contrived.
