Are you excited for another Sex and the the City movie?!

We didn’t think so…

However, it looks as if that may be just what is on the cards after major recent hints.

Kristin Davis spoke to E! News reporters at an Oxfam event in Hollywood last night about the possibility of SATC 3, saying: “I think we’d all like to do it again. We want to do it!”

The actress' words are only the most recent hint that a third movie could be on the way, after Sarah Jessica Parker tweeted Kristin late last year asking if she had 'heard the news'. 

Following the TV series successful eight year run, SATC hit cinemas and everyone felt a sense of closure. Then they made another one….set in Dubai where Carrie’s ex Aiden turns up.

So what could possibly happen in a third movie? We’re not so sure we want to find out…

Well, it’s official – the most romantic love letter of all time has been revealed and the author is none other than Johnny Cash!

The letter was written twenty-one years ago, on his wife June Carter’s 65th birthday. As many of us will know from watching Walk The Line, June and Johnny’s relationship wasn’t always easy but as always – true love prevails!

Johnny wrote to his darling wife:

“Happy Birthday Princess,

We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted.

But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realise how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I’ve ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.

Happy Birthday Princess,

Johnny.”

Excuse us while we dry our eyes…

Also on the list of top ten love letters was Beethoven’s one to his mystery lover, which he finished off with the words: “Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.”

These words were made even more well-known in recent years after Carrie and Big adopted them in the Sex and the City movie.

Perhaps these famous romantic words will inspire us to pen our very own love letter…

But probably not.

It’s true that Sex and the City taught us a lot about life and love.

However, not all of it was beneficial. Sure, we didn’t need sex ed growing up because it taught us all we need to know, but we have been left with some seriously unrealistic expectations when it comes to the love game…

Here are just a few of the unrealistic things Sex and the City has taught us to expect in love:

If you blatantly cheat, your love will still be there waiting for you
And years later, you’ll STILL break up with him…damn it Samantha

The biggest douche in your love life will turn out to be the love of your life
We bloody well hope not

AND he’ll follow you to Paris to proclaim his love
Ahahaha, is that a joke? He still asks for petrol money

Getting dumped is definitely a good enough excuse to get yourself arrested
We know it was a Post-It but it’s not going to work, Carrie

You will meet ‘The One who got away’ years later and realise the douche really is the one for you
Nope…

If it's true love, he will build you the wardrobe of your dreams
Just be lucky he turns up to the wedding, ya?

Men will just arrive outside your door in limos waiting to take you anywhere you like
Still waiting. They're probably stuck in traffic.

This is epic!

The Sex and the City series has been finished for over ten years now, and we miss it at least once a day.

That is why our days were completely made when SATC actor, Ron Livingston, or as we know him, Berger, posed for a photo holding a Post-It that read: “I’m sorry, I can’t, don’t hate me.”

The photo is of course a recreation of THAT time Berger broke up with Carrie over a Post-It, after which she is caught by the police smoking a joint but is let off thanks to the Post-It. A fine episode, I think we’ll all agree.

Nicely played, Berger, nicely played. We wonder if Carrie has anything to say about this!

Remember the hysteria back in 2008 when word got out that our beloved Sex and the City was hitting the big screen? After four long years without our four favourite women, we were going to be treated to a two hour extravaganza. Squeal!

Now, remember when Sex and the City 2 was released two years later? Yeah…

If you've blocked the sequel out, don't worry, here's a quick rundown on why they probably should have hung up their Manolos back in 2008.

SATC 1 featured a frantic Carrie skidding through cold, snowy streets on New Year’s Eve to the tender sounds of Auld Lang Syne.

 

SATC 2 featured the four New York women scrambling through Abu Dhabi streets, appearing continually aghast that local dress and customs were different to their Manhattan norm.

Sigh.

SATC 1 gave us a montage scene depicting some of the most divine wedding dresses we’ve ever laid eyes on. Vivienne Westwood, Dior, Vera Wang; we were in bridal heaven.

SATC 2  gave us Liza Minnelli murdering Beyonce’s Single Ladies in a pair of fishnets.

Cringe.

SATC 1 gave us the line "I curse the day you were born!"

 

SATC 2 gave us the line "Lawrence of my labia"

Facepalm.

SATC 1 featured the fabulous Jennifer Hudson.

SATC 2 featured the unappealingly buff Australian rugby players.

Gag.

Sex and the City 1 gave us four sassy, feisty women who finally got the happy endings they deserved while Sex and the City 2 gave us four moany, whiney women who needed to stop kissing their ex-boyfriends.

There, we said it!

Don't get us wrong, we love us some Sex and the City. HOWEVER…some of the things that happened in that show were just beyond ridiculous.

Here are just some of those moments…

1. That time Samantha dyed her pubes

Can you imagine the effort…for one grey hair?! Girl, please.

2. That time Carrie said “You have to forgive me” ten million times

Please, Aiden make her stop.

3. That time Charlotte put stamps around her husband’s manhood

As IF he wouldn’t wake up…

4. That time Smith waited in the hotel for Samantha even though he knew she was having sex with Richard upstairs

Although we're glad he did…

5. That time Carrie guilt-tripped Charlotte into handing over her engagement ring because she was going to lose her apartment, because she buys too many shoes

Toxic friend alert, anyone?!

6. That time in Sex and the City 2 when Carrie kissed Aiden

When years previously she had cheated on Aiden with Big…sort it out Carrie

7. That time in Sex and the City 2 when Samantha screamed “I have SEX”…with actions

Jaysus

​8. That time Carrie said to Big: "You're girl is lovely, Hubbell" and then walked away really smug believing she's the elusive female who can't be tamed…

She's just so deep, y'know?

So Sarah Jessica Parker has sent us all into a tizzy with her latest social media post.

Remember when we told you that Jennifer Hudson said there was a very big possibility of a third Sex and the City movie?

Well, SJP has just added further fuel to the fire that this may actually be happening!

The actress took to Instagram to share a picture of herself arranging some of her fabulous shoes along a set of steps, with the teasing caption:

“It was take your @sjpcollection shoes to work day. #longdayforCarrie #whewwwwthosesteps #runninginheels #taxi!”

Did she actually just reference Carrie Bradshaw?!

Cue fans of the cult show and movies everywhere going into complete meltdown.

Naturally, as happens when thousands of crazed women are flapping about a SATC sequel, SJP sensed our excitement – only to shoot it down!

“Oh no. Eek. Sorry. No. I was just talking about the shoes. Oh man. Geesh. Sorry,” she wrote.

Is she protesting a little much, maybe? Trying to throw us off the scent?

Somehow we don’t believe her….

Sex and the City fans everywhere got some good news last week, after Jennifer Hudson sneakily revealed that a Sex and the City 3 film might be in the pipeline.

Jennifer, who played Carrie's assistant in the first movie, admitted in an interview that the possibility of a third instalment had been discussed.

We were reluctant to believe the news until we heard it from a more reliable source though – and who's more reliable than Carrie Bradshaw herself?

Yep, Sarah Jessica Parker seems to be getting excited about a sequel too, if her Twitter exchange with fellow SATC star Kristin Davis is anything to go by.

Things kicked off when Kristin tweeted Sarah Jessica to say she missed her, to which the star replied:

Kristin wasn't giving anything away – but it all sounded very positive:

Much as we'd love to see the girls back on our screens though, we hope that the third film won't be quite as ridiculous as SATC 2…

Let's keep it to New York this time, okay?!

Major news for Sex and the City fans this morning, as it has been revealed that a third movie may be in the pipeline!

Hurray!

Rumours are rife today that Carrie and co. will be returning to the big screen very soon, after Jennifer Hudson dropped a major clue that a third film is on the books.

When the possibility of Hudson reprising her role as PA Louise was raised during an interview with MTV, she said: “Somebody just came to me talking about that. So if it’s in the talks, it might happen. So look for it.”

We most certainly will, Jennifer!

While we have yet to get any more information on the possible production, Sarah Jessica Parker previously said that she would not rule out starring in another movie, saying: “A part of me thinks there is one last chapter to tell.”

We think this calls for a Sex and the City marathon this weekend. Who’s with us?

From the moment she first dodged New York traffic in a tutu, Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw has given us endless style inspiration. With an incredible collection of clothes (that seemed a little excessive for someone on a journalist’s salary), she was undoubtedly the show’s style queen.

Sometimes though, Carrie got it so very, very wrong. Here are a few of the outfits that made us cringe…

1. Those “cozy” woollen shorts
With the coat closed this outfit would have been totally fine. But why the strapless woolly vest and shorts combo?! The addition of leopard print kitten heels didn’t help either.

2. The LeAnn Rimes tribute outfit
A straw hat is never an acceptable accessory unless you’ve just come from the beach or a good ol’ fashioned hoedown. As for the arm cuff and snakeskin bikini top… we are very, very confused.

3. The standard New Year’s outfit – wellies and a turban
Now, we do accept that Carrie rushed out of the house last minute in this New Year’s episode, but surely there are more practical options for snowy weather than a sparkling turban? At least she swapped the white stilettos for some waterproof footwear.

4. The mummy-esque summer outfit
We’re not sure what’s going on here. White, loose fabrics were definitely a good choice for the desert, but the outfit appears to be made of random strips of loo roll tied together. And once again – why the turban?!

5. The dress that doubled as a life raft
A red-and-white floral dress is actually quite a simple choice by Carrie’s standards, but the peplum skirt looks as if it’s been inflated. At least she’ll bounce right back up if she falls!

6. The “I’m a writer BTW” dress
Ah, the Christian Dior Daily. We’d choose it over The Irish Times any day. This newspaper-print dress is just bizarre – we do like the shoes though.

7. The dress that surely required regular watering
Never one to keep things toned down, Carrie went all out with this massively oversized flower attached to an otherwise normal dress.

8. The “I just wore everything in my wardrobe today" outfit
We’re all for layering different fabrics, but this is a bit much. A tulle skirt, paisley dress, turquoise cardigan, belt and fur coat, topped off with a neon pink scarf. Classic minimalist style!

9. Those unfortunate tartan trousers
This outfit is half-golfer, half-crazy granny. Red tartan trousers and a baby pink shirt? Enough said.

10. And… the ultimate Carrie Fail
Okay, you’ve tied your shirt up. That’s okay. It’s kind of cute. The skirt’s not too bad, either. But Carrie, do enlighten us, why in the name of God is there a belt tied around your stomach?

We rest our case!

On a long-haul flight a couple of months ago, I was scrolling through the TV shows on offer when I came across the Holy Grail: every series of Sex and the City. Ever.

I proceeded to spend the next 12 hours in a haze of Manolo Blahniks, Cosmopolitans and never-ending brunches. It was the best flight I’ve had in a long time, even though I was seated next to someone’s cranky baby and a snoring man. I didn’t care – I had Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte.

But even though I still laughed at the girls’ antics (and still questioned Carrie’s bizarre outfit choices), some of the plot lines just didn’t ring true for me anymore. In fact, ten years on from the show’s finale, it all seemed a little dated.

No longer is it the height of indecency to discuss sex with your friends, or to go for exactly what you want in the bedroom or at work. Many of the things that made Sex and the City so risqué are now just a part of every woman’s normal life.

HBO has since moved on to a more current viewpoint with Girls, which is certainly a more relevant show for any Millennial. There’s no high fashion, Vogue, or power suits – the Girls girl has a realistic body shape, reads Jezebel and Gawker, and drinks beer, not cocktails. It might not be a glamorous outlook on life, but it’s certainly closer to what most twenty-somethings go through every day.

Despite all of this, there is still something that draws me back to Sex and the City every time.

One thing that SATC has in spades is strong female friendships. The SATC girls were there for each other through it all – bad one-night stands, breakups, fertility problems and even cancer. Sure, there was the odd tense moment, but what female friendship doesn’t have those?

In contrast, Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna and Jessa are always slightly detached and distant from each other, never really bothering to fight one another’s corner. I know I’d much rather subscribe to the SATC model of friendship than to say, as Hannah Hobart does, “I’m not interested in anything [my friends] have to say. That’s not the point of friendship.” Ouch.

Girls might portray life as it is lived by most 18 – 25 year olds these days, but perhaps it’s a little too close to home? I love the sharp wit and relatable role models, but when I need a pick-me-up, I’ll still turn to Carrie and co.

Maire O’Flynn, is the envy of all Sex and the City fans right now (us included) – as she managed to meet her hero and style icon, Sarah Jessica Parker on her wedding day.

Marie and her new husband, Peter were enjoying their big day in Donegal, when the actress happened to arrive at the same hotel with her husband, Matthew Broderick

The bride said that even though she was hesitant at first to speak to the actress, guests insisted it was too big of an opportunity to ignore.

“I was very hesitant to approach her because I didn’t want to disturb her on her holiday and at a private dinner. But a few of the other guests thought it would be a missed opportunity if I didn’t get a photo on my big day with such an iconic celebrity.”

Marie’s brother then went over to the SATC star who said she would love to meet the bride after she had finished her meal. Sarah then posed with Marie before she left the hotel, and even complimented Marie on her wedding dress.

“She said that I looked beautiful and hoped that I was having a great day… It added a bit of celebrity status to the occasion.”

Well Marie got the SJP approval, what more can you ask for?
