The All Time Best TV Couples

Over the years there has been some great television couples on our screens, here is a list that TV.com think is the best television couples of all time.

Jonathan and Jennifer Hart , Hart to Hart

As the Harts, Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers have just the right chemistry, the Nick and Nora Charles of television. They are a fun-loving, filthy rich couple who like to solve crimes in between jet-setting all over the world.

Mac and Sally McMillian , McMillian & Wife

San Francisco attorney Stewart “Mac” McMillan (Rock Hudson) is named Commissioner of the San Francisco Police Department, and along with his sharp-witted, but somewhat kooky, wife Sally (Susan Saint James), Mac manages to solve some of the city’s most baffling crimes. A favorite of the classic Sunday night mysteries.

Mike and Carol Brady , The Brady Bunch

Robert Reed and Florence Henderson brought as much spark to the wholesome Brady couple as was possibly allowed on TV in the 1960s. Kudos for making us believe Mike and Carol would stay together so long with all those kids.

Lucy and Ricky Ricardo , I Love Lucy

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are definitely one of the most indelible TV couples of all time. One wonders why Ricky didn’t strangle Lucy for all her screw-ups, but that’s what made them so lovable.

Sam Malone and Diane Chambers , Cheers

The completely mismatched Sam (Ted Danson) and Diane (Shelley Long) probably never had a chance in hell of staying together — she is prim and proper, he is a former baseball star-turned-bar owner — but it is sure fun watching them try to make it work. Danson and Long have never been better than when they are bickering as Sam and Diane.

Roseanne and Dan Conner , Roseanne

Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) and her stalwart hubby Dan (John Goodman) showed us a real blue-collar marriage, full of ups and downs but lots of love.

Rachel Green and Ross Geller , Friends

Never did we want two people to get together more than Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston). He’s loved her since they were in high school, and she finally realizes, after many misfires, that he is her soul mate.

Cliff and Claire Huxtable , The Cosby Show

Claire (Phylicia Rashad) and Cliff (Bill Cosby) represent one of the hippest married TV couples of all time, juggling successful careers with raising their five kids. And eating Jello pudding… just kidding.

Will Truman and Grace Adler , Will & Grace

They aren’t an official couple per se, but Will (Eric McCormack) and Grace (Debra Messing) are still roommates… and soul mates. They definitely go down in the annals of best TV couples.

Buffy and Angel , Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Before Edward and Bella, there was Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz). Buffy is a sworn vampire hunter, but she can’t kill the one vampire who has ever understood her. At least he tries to be a good vampire.

Homer and Marge Simpson , The Simpsons

One wonders how Marge puts up with her selfish, idiotic husband, but he’s her Homey, and their love has endured the many trials and tribulations Homer has brought to their life.

Bob and Emily Hartley , The Bob Newhart Show

Psychologist Bob (Bob Newhart) wouldn’t be the same without his grounded wife, Emily (Suzanne Pleshette) to keep him —00000000000 and their sometimes crazy life — in line.

Morticia and Gomez Addams , The Addams Family

When Gomez (John Astin) woos his beloved wife Morticia (Carolyn Jones), he begins by reciting French, kissing her hand, then her wrist, then up her arm to her neck. For a gothic 1960s family, that’s pretty racy. Go Gomez!

Joey and Pacey , Dawson’s Creek

Sure, Joey (Katie Holmes) grew up loving her best friend and neighbor Dawson (James van der Beek), but once she got a little taste of the wacky Pacey (Joshua Jackson), that was all she wrote.

Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly , The Office

From flirting to romancing to marriage and babies, Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) have taken the art of the office romance to new levels.

Paul and Jamie Buchman , Mad About You

Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt showed some of the best chemistry on TV ever as the Buchmans, two New Yorkers trying to have a normal, happy marriage. They are, after all, mad about each other.

Rob and Laura Petrie , The Dick Van Dyke Show

As another classic TV couple, Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) knows just the right thing to say to calm her neurotic husband Rob (Dick Van Dyke) down — except when it’s his turn to calm her down. “Oh, Rob!”

Sawyer and Juliet , Lost

There were many couplings on the twisty “Lost,” but none of them held as much resonance as the love story between Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell), who found each other under some very unusual circumstances.

Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big , Sex and the City

Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker)on-again, off-again romance with Big (Chris Noth) has given her a lot of grief through the years but also much joy. And through it all, they knew in their hearts they were destined to be together.

I’m surprised that Mulder and Scully aren’t on this list, but overall it’s a pretty good list. Who do you think is the best or missing?

Sex and The City Fan Sleeps With 1,000 Men

A UK woman has revealed how Sex and the City inspired her to bed 1000 men.

Christina Saunders, from Hertfordshire in east England, reached the target last month after setting herself the challenge 10 years ago, News of the World reports.

It all began after she watched the first series of Sex and the City while stuck at home with a bout of flu in 2000.

“The thought of four women gloating about sleeping their way around New York hadn’t appealed to me but I had nothing better to do so I watched it,” she was reported saying.

The then university student said she’d had just one sexual encounter at the time. But her modest attitude to sex changed after watching the sexually liberated character Samantha. “She had a male attitude of sleeping around and it fascinated me,” Ms Saunders, now 30, said.

Saunders began picking up men in bars or while on vacation and kept a tally of her conquests in a notebook. She would rate them from 1 to 10 — yeah, feel sorry for the dude who only got a 1.

The Top 20 TV Shows Of The Last 20 Years

E! Online are celebrating their 20th anniversary so they decided to come up with a list of the top 20 TV shows from the past 20 years and they did a pretty good job in my opinion.

20. Survivor

I agree with a lot of these choices but not exactly in this order, for me I would rank Buffy The Vampire Slayer as number 1 because the writing and acting on that show is just incredible. The likes of Modern Family and True Blood are too soon to see if they deserve a place on a list like this. But overall a good list.

19. Grey’s Anatomy

18. The Sopranos

17. Friday Night Lights

16. True Blood

15. Six Feet Under

14. 24

13. Sex and the City

Biggest On-Set Movie Feuds And Fights

When you put a bunch of Hollywood stars together in a movie there is bound to be some egos clashing, most of the time they all get on with it and act professionally or the studio keeps it under wraps. This is not always the case, here is the biggest fights and feuds that have happened on-set of a movie.

Lily Tomlin vs. David O. Russell, “I Heart Huckabees”

After watching Tomlin’s sour attitude and director Russell’s epic freakouts on the set of “I Heart Huckabees,” it’s hard to tell which person started the downward slide. Was it Tomlin, whose impatience with all the changes Russell was suggesting seemed to indicate she was having a senior moment and couldn’t keep up? Or was it Russell, who might have written a more solid script to begin with and maybe should’ve thought twice before calling his leading lady a bitch or a c*** in front of the cast and crew. Pity poor Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman, Isabelle Huppert and especially the cringing, giggling Naomi Watts, who had to sit there as the abuse flew perilously close to their heads. But hooray for whoever caught this dysfunctional mess on tape. It’s infinitely more gripping than the movie.

George Clooney vs. David O. Russell, “Three Kings”

Russell has a hard time pleading that what happened with Tomlin wasn’t like him, since five years earlier he got into a feud with Clooney on the set of the Gulf War satire “Three Kings” that led to Clooney punching his lights out. In fairness to Russell, he told Clooney to punch him. In fairness to Clooney, Russell was picking on the little people on the set – an extra here, a driver there – and Clooney got so tired of it, he wrote Russell an angry letter and then took to giving him a piece of his mind directly in front of his face. We think that second assistant director Paul F. Bernard had the right idea – he walked off the set when he witnessed this nonsense, quitting his job on the spot. But Ice Cube, who played a soldier alongside Clooney, said the on-set conflict gave the final scenes of the film extra juice and he “wouldn’t mind if the director and the star got into an argument on all of my movies.” Yeah, but Cube’s from South Central Los Angeles, so “Conflict” is his middle name. We’re just sorry no one caught this sandbox quarrel on tape and made a disco remix out of it.

Christian Bale vs. Shane Hurlbut, “Terminator Salvation”

“What don’t you f***ing understand, Shane?” Don’t you know it’s unconscionable for a Director of Photography to walk where an actor can – gasp! – see him? Even if said Director of Photography was just doing his job, fiddling with some lights, setting up a shot? Bale was concentrating really, really hard on filming a scene in “Terminator Salvation” when unlucky Hurlbut got in the way and got a four-minute, expletive-heavy earful about what a horrible person he was and how he needed to be fired, that instant. Lucky for us, someone taped it. Even luckier, someone else turned the rant into an awesome disco remix. Bale’s career has yet to recover – surely no one’s thinking of hiring him for a romantic comedy or to play a hapless single dad anytime soon. Although, Bale is next set to star in “The Fighter” directed by (wait for it) David O. Russell. Maybe they should shorten the title by a couple of letters and call it a day.

Kim Cattrall vs. Sarah Jessica Parker, “Sex and the City”

Reports of on-set bitchiness between Cattrall and Parker are so frequent, there’s got to be some truth to them, right? During production of the movie sequel spun from the hit HBO series, “sources” were busy telling sites like icelebz.com and snarkerati.com that “while the cast is all smiles on the outside, the level of dislike is unbelievable,” making “co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis dread coming into work.” One site claims Cattrall’s irritability over her recent break-up with her younger chef lover means she’s “taking every chance to snipe.” Another says Parker was overwhelmed having to care for her newborn twins and was “too busy to comfort Kim or worry about her problems at the moment.” Both ladies officially scoff at these reports. Parker said to Elle magazine recently that “I don’t think anybody wants to believe that I love Kim. I adore her. I wouldn’t have done the movie without her. Didn’t and wouldn’t.” She should’ve added “couldn’t,” seeing as Cattrall is one of the core four, after all. Cattrall has always wielded her power mercenarily, using it to demand higher pay and to confirm the sequel before Parker could. If only they’d bring this catfight onto the big screen – that might make the sequel worth watching. Barely.

Sean Young vs. Darryl Hannah, Charlie Sheen and Oliver Stone, “Wall Street”

Before Sean Young made an idiot of herself showing up on a studio lot in a Catwoman outfit to beg for a part in the next “Batman” movie, she made herself into a pariah by suggesting that she should get another actress’s role… while that actress was filming it. It was on the set of Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” that Darryl Hannah was allegedly struggling to play Charlie Sheen’s materialistic girlfriend. Stone later admitted “Hannah was not happy doing the role and I should have let her go. All my crew wanted to get rid of her after one day of shooting. My pride was such that I kept saying I was going to make it work.” Young, who had the smaller role of Michael Douglas’s wife, had no interest in making things work: she told Stone to fire Hannah and give her the plum part instead. Sheen protested Young’s antics in grade four fashion – he taped a note to her back that read “I am a c***.” Young paraded around with that sign for hours before noticing. Stone also got so fed up with Young that he wrapped one of her scenes early and had her dumped at the bus station. Long after the movie came out, Stone agreed with Young that he should’ve swapped Young and Hannah’s roles. But it’s not like he, or anyone else of any distinction, has ever hired Young again.

Debra Winger vs. Shirley MacLaine, “Terms of Endearment”

Speaking of grade four hijinks, have you heard the one where Debra Winger flipped up her skirt and serenaded her onscreen mother Shirley MacLaine with her, um, wind instrument while they filmed “Terms of Endearment”? These two were at odds almost from the moment they met in writer-director James L. Brooks’ apartment. MacLaine remembers thinking “Oh my goodness” when she saw Winger clomp in dressed in combat boots and a miniskirt. Their characters were supposed to be at odds, too, so presumably Brooks indulged their feud. Lord knows how far things actually went. Winger recently copped to getting into fisticuffs with MacLaine, telling CBS News Sunday Morning that “there might have been a scuffle. I don’t remember. I mean, we were wild, you know.” Oh, we know. Thanks be to gossip, we know.

Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin vs. Everyone, “The Marrying Man”

Baldwin fell in love with Basinger while making the romantic comedy “The Marrying Man” in 1991 and became a married man himself shortly after. But if you know anything about how bitter their custody battle is, you can guess how volatile their courtship was. According to reports from flabbergasted crew members, between takes Basinger would tell Baldwin exactly what she wanted to do to him later in bed, not caring that other people could hear. She also didn’t wear underwear and often sat spread-eagled, forcing assistants to throw towels over her legs, and perhaps some crew members to walk around covering their own legs. Meanwhile, Baldwin would throw things whenever a scene didn’t go his way, at one point almost hitting an electrician with a chair. One crew member said, “You’ve read about all the tantrums, the chair-throwing, the phone-smashing. Living it was 100 times worse. If Baldwin slammed a door, Basinger would slam another door harder. It was like they were two little kids, having a contest to see who could be the brattiest.” A senior crew guy called their behaviour “vile, deplorable, despicable” and claimed that “if I were destitute and living on the street with no food and somebody offered me a million dollars to work with Alec and Kim, I’d pass.” Screenwriter Neil Simon also hated the experience of working with them. “With a play, I have only two people to please – myself and the director,” he said. “With this movie, it was 19 executives, a director who’d never done anything but animation before, and two stars who would tell you what lines they’d say and what lines they wouldn’t say.” Needless to say, the movie flopped. Too much drama behind the scenes, not enough left for onscreen.

Marlon Brando vs. Frank Oz, “The Score”

Oz was the voice of Miss Piggy. Brando had become a big piggy. They worked together for awhile on the heist flick “The Score” in 2001, until Brando got so fed up with being told to tone down his flamboyant performance as a homosexual crook that he started calling Oz “Miss Piggy” and telling him, “f*** you.” Other stunts the legendary actor pulled include: bringing in a note from his doctor saying he’s allergic to Oz so that he wouldn’t have to be in the same room as him; refusing to take direction from anyone but Robert De Niro, so Oz had to watch from offsite and send notes to De Niro via an assistant director; and taking off his pants so Oz had to shoot him from the waist up only. Oz later made this legendary understatement: “When you deal with someone like Marlon, you expect quirkiness.” If by “quirky” he means “jerky,” we totally agree.

Bill Murray vs. Lucy Liu, “Charlie’s Angels”

We saved the best for last. Do you know why Bill Murray was replaced by Bernie Mac in the “Charlie’s Angels” sequel? Rumour has it that Murray hates Lucy Liu with a passion and refuses to work with her again. According to Variety, one day Liu complained about the writing of a scene she was shooting with Murray, then Murray complained about Liu’s critique, and soon their costars Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz were fleeing for their trailers, causing shooting to shut down for the day so Liu and Murray could cool off. Murray’s alleged to have turned to each Angel and said: “I get why you’re [Barrymore] here, and you’ve [Diaz] got talent … but what in the hell are you [Liu] doing here? You can’t act!” Liu got so enraged that she ran over and started throwing punches at Murray. Both actors later claimed they had a teensy bout of “creative differences” that was blown out of proportion, and was certainly not the cause of Murray pulling out of the sequel. Liu denied that production was shut down and said that “if I had punched him or anything, I would have remembered.” But Murray sounds more honest when he admits that “for 15 or 20 minutes there, we went to our separate corners and threw hand-grenades and sky rockets at each other.” The proof will be in whether we ever see them in another movie together. Who wants to hold their breath?

I absolutely love the last one, I can totally picture Lucy Liu flipping her shit and throwing punches at Bill Murray.

Sex And The City 2 Poster Meets Photoshop

Does the woman in the poster below look familiar to you? No? She didn’t to me either, but this is apparently supposed to be Sarah Jessica Parker.

Click the poster for a larger version

This doesn’t even look like a real person that they put in the new poster for Sex and the City 2, I can’t wait to see what they do with the other three girls.

There is no movie what so ever on this movie because they are keeping it all locked down, so I guess we can judge how fake and shitty it is going go be by this poster of Sarah Jessica Parker.

25 Biggest Emmy Snubs

Last week we got the nominations for the 2009 Emmy Awards, but now we get an even better list – the 25 biggest Emmy snubs ever.

25. SPORTS NIGHT
Aaron Sorkin’s dramedy about a struggling cable sports program had it all: a swoon-inducing central romance (between Peter Krause’s sly anchor and Felicity Huffman’s brainy producer); a stunning supporting cast (including the awesome Robert Guillaume); and lightning-quick dialogue that ranged from heartbreaking to hilarious. And funny enough, we reacted to Sports Night’s lack of Emmy recognition much the same way we would to a typical episode — by laughing out loud and reaching for the Kleenex.

24. WALTON GOGGINS
The Shield
Michael Chiklis garnered most of the award attention for his bulldog-on-steroids performance as Vic Mackey, the head of a stop-at-nothing L.A. police squad. But as his onetime right-hand man and best friend Shane Vendrell, Goggins also proved he’s an acting force to be reckoned with. A loose cannon whose messes kept getting bigger and stickier and more dangerous each season, Shane spun out of control in season 6, playing all sides against each other and becoming hell-bent on self-destruction after dropping a hand grenade in the lap of his squad mate at the end of season 5.

23. MY SO-CALLED LIFE
Okay, so it only lasted one season. And while ”the Academy” didn’t know it then, this critically acclaimed ratings bust has since become one of the most beloved cult-classics to ever hit the tube. It not only captured teen angst in a way few have been able to replicate, but it also showed the softer side of trying to figure out who you are. Although I may never forgive Claire Danes (she admitted to EW in 2004 that she had a hand in the show not returning for a second season) at least they didn’t go with their first rumored pick — Alicia Silverstone. Cher pining over brooding Jordan Catalano? Whatever!

22. SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Can you believe it!? I guess it’s not too surprising that SMG was never nominated. The closest this classic ever got to a major nomination was a writing nod for the genius Joss Whedon (and the poor guy didn’t even win). But if there was one person that deserved that little golden angel it was Gellar (duh), who played Buffy Summers as a high school girl all high school kids could relate to. Sure, the goths may have claimed her, but Buffy blurred the lines of cliques and social circles and played into a fantasy any high schooler would envy: superpowers + important mission in life.

21. HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET
When it premiered in January 1993, Homicide was a meticulously bleak show — morose, cynical, and allusive in a way nothing else on prime time was even trying to be. Critical raves poured in for these tales of the Baltimore homicide division; viewers, correctly suspecting a downer, stayed away in droves. Sadly, the Academy didn’t bestow the Best Dramatic Series love either. And that’s a crime.

20. AN AMERICAN FAMILY
Twelve episodes. One family. A 20-year-old gay man. And more than 10 million viewers. Long before The Real World, The Osbournes, and Wife Swap, filmmakers Susan and Alan Raymond gave America a peek inside the lives of a normal clan, the Louds, in An American Family. PBS’ documentary series was so ahead of its time that no Emmy category existed in 1973 to accommodate it. (Sure, it might have qualified for Outstanding Documentary, but that category was filled with news-division shows on such topics as Watergate.) Among the first ”ordinary people” to become ”celebrities,” the Loud family appeared on the cover of Newsweek and son Lance became something of a gay icon. Little did they know what they had wrought.

19. KATEY SAGAL
Married…With Children
With a cigarette dangling from one hand and the remote control from the other, Sagal’s sex-obsessed Peggy ruled the suburban middle-class wasteland that was the Bundy household. It was the actress’ own idea to outfit her character in ’60s- and ’70s-style TV-housewife garb — a hilarious move, as it further highlighted the divide between those women’s devotion to homemaking and Peg’s refusal to ever lift a fake nail…unless it was to eat a bonbon.

18. RON HOWARD
The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days
Don’t you wish there was a ”Best Narration” category? Because Ron Howard would’ve cleaned up for Arrested Development. Sticking to his on-screen appearances, the Academy dissed Howard in his six seasons as Howdy Doody look-alike Richie Cunningham on Happy Days. But how could little Ronny not have scored a nod for the episode ”Opie the Birdman” from The Andy Griffith Show? Not many child stars can communicate a dawning youngster’s awareness of the value of life, the importance of parenting, and the pain of separation as he did in this episode, a performance mature in its innocence.

17. AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL
Just how crazy a weave must Tyra don before Emmy takes notice of ANTM? The supermodel’s modeling competition may not score the ratings of some other reality juggernauts, but when it comes to entertainment value, the show never disappoints (see: every cycle’s makeover episode). And unlike some other reality shows, ANTM actually does produce some success stories (e.g. Eva Pigford, Danielle Evans, Adrianne Curry…kinda). C’mon Emmy, you know that ANTM deserves to still be in the running to become Best. Reality. Competition. Show.

16. KRISTIN DAVIS
Sex and the City
From home, we all followed Kristin Davis’ Park Avenue princess Charlotte York as she went through the same big-girl realizations as the rest of us. Discarding Prince Charming fantasies and big-city illusions, Charlotte developed throughout the series into the sweet but strong woman we later saw on the big screen

15. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
The most likely reason Ronald D. Moore’s magnum opus hasn’t been nominated is that it’s ”too genre,” which is ironic given that Battlestar Galactica is a self-conscious break from the genre conventions that have clogged much of TV sci-fi (I’m looking at you, Star Trek: Enterprise). BSG is great drama that just happens to be set in a sci-fi context.

14. CHLOË SEVIGNY
Big Love
While it’s slightly shocking to see indie fashionista Chloë Sevigny so comfortable in the conservative skin of Mormon Nicki on HBO’s Big Love, the actress’ portrayal of the second wife is believable far beyond her single braid/turtleneck/long skirt ensembles. She gives an honest glimpse into the struggles facing a fundamentalist polygamist gal trying to survive in a world where her belief system is illegal.

13. DESI ARNAZ
I Love Lucy
Sure, we all know that the real star of I Love Lucy was comedy legend Lucille Ball, but Lucy wouldn’t have been half as funny without her heavy-accented, bongo-banging, disciplinarian foil/husband Ricky Ricardo, played by real-life spouse Arnaz. In fact, out of the show’s four regular cast members — Ball, Arnaz, William Frawley, and Vivian Vance — Arnaz was the only one never recognized during its six-year run. Emmy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do.

12. CONNIE BRITTON AND KYLE CHANDLER
Friday Night Lights
Eric and Tami Taylor, TV’s most realistic couple (and yes, that includes reality shows), are just too divine. Why? They — he, the obsessive coach; she, the doting mom and school counselor — are believable: They fight, make up, talk, parent, and work together with the harmony and grace of a pair that’s been together in real life for years.

11. THE WIRE
We can almost convince ourselves that there were too many fantastic actors on David Simon’s Baltimore threnody for Emmy to get around to them all (though how one overlooks Dominic West or Michael K. Williams, we’ll never know). But that a series routinely hailed as one of the best shows ever on television — if not the best — never even garnered a dramatic series nod? Shameful.

10. COURTENEY COX
Friends
How was Cox — who aced her half of the Chandler-Monica affair — the only Friend ignored?

9. BOB NEWHART
The Bob Newhart Show
Three noms for Newhart’s next sitcom didn’t make up for earlier snubs.

8. HEATHER LOCKLEAR
Melrose Place
Her hilariously bitchy stroll on Melrose turned a snooze into a must-watch.

7. NORMAN FELL
Three’s Company
The only thing lovable about wife-hating homophobe Mr. Roper? Fell’s perfect timing.

6. MICHAEL LANDON
Ignoring the beloved star for his two seminal series, Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie, is like never sending your dad a Father’s Day card.

5. THE HONEYMOONERS
One of the best sitcoms on TV, and prototype for the rest of the best. Pity Emmy voters never noticed.

4. LAUREN GRAHAM
Gilmore Girls
Put those hyperliterate scripts in a lesser actress’ hands — see what hash they make of them.

3. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Believe it or not, kids, before Lost, Emmy didn’t always understand shows with fanciful premises.

2. ANDY GRIFFITH
The Andy Griffith Show
Don Knotts nabbed four trophies, but not one nod for the sheriff? A crime!

1. ROSEANNE
Emmy loved the sitcom’s actors but never acknowledged the show or its writers. So the stars did an amazing job saying…nothing worthwhile?

I think this is one of the few lists that I agree with everything on it, yes including America’s Next Top Model. I am a huge fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and always thought it was robbed every year.

What are your thoughts on the list?

Sex and the City Sequel in the Works

After months of speculation, Kim Cattrall says that there will be a sequel to this year’s hugely popular Sex and the City: The Movie.

The actress appeared on Britain’s The Paul O’Grady Show, with guest-host Spice Girl Melanie Brown. Asked point blank, “Will there be a sequel?” Cattrall replied emphatically, “Yes there will!”

A spokesperson for New Line Cinema says the studio is “in negotiations for a sequel.”

Cattrall, 52, talked more about sequel plans at Cosmopolitan’s Ultimate Women of the Year Awards in London, where she received the “Ultimate Icon” honor. “The fans keep saying, ‘Yes, one more,’” Cattrall told reporters. “The movie was so much fun to do and be part of again. I hope we’re going to do it again.”

She’s especially looking forward to getting the script. “Samantha single is more fun that you can ever imagine,” she said.

But personally, Cattrall said she’s more similar to the contemplative Carrie. She sees a little bit of herself in all the characters – except one. “I never was a Charlotte. I can have a morning like Carrie, and I can have an afternoon like Miranda and I always hope for an evening like Samantha!”
