Star Trek Sequel to Feature SATC Alum

Sex and the City might not seem to go too well with Star Trek, but it appears that J.J. Abams chose Alice Eve – of SATC fame – to star in his newest sci-fi movie, Star Trek 2. There’s not an official deal, but word is that Paramount Pictures will ink a deal with the actress soon.

It’s just not clear who, exactly, Eve will be playing. It looks like the 29-year-old star will make an appearance as an altogether new character in this sequel. Other actresses vying for the part were Teresa Palmer and Hayley Atwell.

And even once this deal is official, there’s still one more role to cast, reportedly for a villain-type character.

The production of “Star Trek 2” is expected to kick off in early 2012 as the film is scheduled to open on May 17, 2013. So we’ll have to subsist on these tidbits of news as we get them, and wait another year and a half before we can see what transpires on-screen.

Sarah Jessica Parker: NOT A Fashion Icon


Sarah Jessica Parker is insane if she thinks we’re buying the “fashion icon” crap from her anymore. Horsey has shown up in some whacked-up outfits, including hats from the Dr. Seuss collection, and the press just laps it up. Well, not HERE, SJP.

Wearing your gramma’s sweater over her pillowcase, with a knee-length body-girdle over fishnets, and shoes from Terminator.…No. Just no. Only certifiable idiots will call this “fashion.” We are in a recession, and the papz can’t afford to buy new lenses every time you step out and shatter them. There is nothing in the bailout for replacement camera lenses. So fire the stylist…or HIRE a stylist, and do your part to pitch in. It’s the patriotic thing to do.

Jennifer Hudson Engaged To “Punk” From “I Love New York 2”

Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson’s boyfriend of less than a year, reality TV personality David “Punk” Otunga, popped the question Friday night in LA. Jennifer, who won an Oscar for her role in the movie/musical “Dreamgirls”, was in the hit film “Sex And The City”, and will be seen in the upcoming “The Secret Life Of Bees”, got an extra-special 27th birthday present!

David is known as “Punk” on the reality show “I Love New York 2”. He and Jennifer have been dating for less than a year, but Jennifer’s rep confirmed to People that “Jennifer got engaged to her boyfriend David on Friday night in Los Angeles”.

David gave Jennifer an engagement ring from Neil Lane. Nice! Congrats to the happy couple.

Annie Leibovitz, Vogue, Hate Sarah Jessica Parker

As you probably know, there is a new Sex And The City movie. The flick has been LONG awaited by millions of die-hard fans. It’s been on-again, off-again for what seems like a decade. Many of you, no doubt, have seen pics from the London opening- featuring Sarah Jessica Parker wearing a green hat from the Dr. Seuss: Seussical In the Poconos Collection. Sadly, this latest round of SATC fug did not stop at the premiere.

Vogue Magazine’s June 2008 issue features SJP on the cover, as lensed by Annie Leibovitz- fresh from her Miley Cyrus punk over at Vanity Fair. Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editrix royale, is deadly serious about her important fashion AND the bottom line. What an irresistible convergence a Sex And The City themed spread must have been! Sarah Jessica’s ALL about important fashion too! Anna knows the issue should sell well, so I think she took the chance to take SJP down a smidge- just to remind her who’s the ultimate queen of couture!

Sarah Jessica’s portraying a 40 year old bride in the shoot, and “Mr. Big”, Chris Noth, is in it as well. Mr. Big is trying to sit on SJP’s shoulders in the cover shot, and as Chris IS big, and SJP is tiny- the look of gasping pain on her face is understandable. She looks like she just got kidney-punched. “And…Snap! We’ve got it!” (Leibovitz, still grasping for controversy.)

Ooooh, I can just picture Anna Wintour now, perusing the proofs- looking for just the right one. “This is it. We’ll put the clean-water scare where it looks like that’s what SJP is gasping about. Clean water IS important to readers, I’m sure. Put the Sex And the City hook over the bony arm Chris ISN’T crushing, and make it big enough to hide those heinous extensions Ken Paves gave us. Those are too cruel even for me. And NO PHOTOSHOPPING! I want her to LOOK 50. That’s the story, right? She’s a 50 year old bride? Oh…40? That’s what I said. It’s perfect.”
