Defamer
It took several years for the ladies of Sex And The City to finally figure that whole cell phone thingie out (Carrie’s neon pink contraption in the series finale was one of the cutest/saddest attempts by a TV show to be “cool” we’ve ever seen) and, as these two leaked clips from the movie show, it’s taken them until now to conquer the Booty Text discussion. In the first clip — spoiler-phobes should avoid there eyes starting NOW — Sarah Jessica Parker brags to her assistant, played by Jennifer Hudson, about her texting ignorance before launching into a wink-filled lecture on what exactly your 20s, 30s and 40s are all about. And in the second, SJP brags to her hags about her brand new apartment before launching into a wink-filled lecture on boys ‘n real estate. We haven’t been winked at so many times since...the series finale of Sex And The City.
It took several years for the ladies of As we learned last week, Carrie makes her Big Wedding announcement all shyly to her harem over fancy brunch, and now we learn that Big not only agrees to marry her, he will also buy her a Manhattan castle in the sky. What she'll do there all day, and why she would possibly require the aid of an assistant, still isn't clear. Though we suspect it will involve a whole lot of self-conscious, self-referential, self-revelatory self-obsession. Of note: Kim Cattrall is suspiciously absent from all three leaked clips thus far. Is this yet another of Sarah Jessica Parker's passive aggressive attacks on her allegedly troublesome co-star? Or does she die a very Scream-like death in the first few minutes? We can only hope.

so SJP actually says "boo-tay" then jennifer calls her old. the end.
On the one hand, I'm annoyed that my beloved Defamer is subjecting me to anything that has to do with SJP or SITC. On the other hand, if these clips keep coming, I can get out of being dragged to the movie by my SITC lovin' friends because I can claim that I already saw it. Yay! Once again, Defamer has come to my rescue.
Why is an Academy Award winner playing the clerical help?
They could have given that job to the woman who does the Pine Sol commercials, or a reality show contestant
I'm honestly shocked that there's a black lady at all on SITC, but of course she plays the assistant, even though columnists never have them...
@yvonnjanae: Because even Oscar winners have to pay the rent...
Besides, you know very well the "curse" of the Best Supporting Academy Award Winner...
Marisa Tomei...Louis Gossett, Jr. anyone?
@yvonnjanae: Wanda Sykes is the best all time sidekick!
@yvonnjanae: As Hattie McDaniel famously said "I would rather play a maid than be one."
I thought Jennifer Hudson was far and away the best thing in 'Dream Girls,' which I loved so much that I saw it twice in two weeks (and I'd had zero interest in it before), but I remember thinking while watching her just play and sing the hell out of her role "She's talented, she has personality and power and she has a beautiful face and is elegant as hell, but she is going to be hard to cast" (I didn't actually think that exact sentence, but you get the gist).
If (which I find improbable) SITC is a big or even moderately big hit, it just adds to her resume. If it bombs, well, she probably made more playing the assistant than I have made in the last five years...
spoiler-phobes should avoid there eyes starting NOW -
I think you mean: "should AVERT THEIR eyes"
The dictionary offer still stands.
