Just when we finally washed the show right out of our hair, it's being reported that the "long-awaited" Sex and the City movie is getting closer to hitting the big screen. Mario Cantone, who played wedding planner and fag-for-Charlotte-to-hag Anthony Marantino, is the only one talking details so far: "Hopefully the Sex and the City movie is going to happen this fall," he said. "If it does, I'm in it which would be nice so......

The most powerful suggestions in this week's NY Times Weddings & Celebrations? If you write about dating or a hapless love life, all is not lost! Actually, we got that idea from Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City, too, but not everyone can end up with Mr. Big or marry a hunky principal dancer at the NY City Ballet. Anyway... The most intriguing meet-cute is that of Kristina Grish and Scott Mebus, who were......

Does the story of women from Manhattan trying to keep up with their competition in the workplace while dealing with men issues sound familiar? Candace Bushnell's latest series (based on her book) "Lipstick Jungle" is filling that "Sex and the City" void that...probably none of us have felt. The characters are reportedly a decade older than Carrie & Co, and starring in the show are Brooke Shields (as Wendy Healy - a movie executive), Kim......

Smelling salts! Icy towels! The heat has gone to Michiko Kakutani’s head! Her review of Benjamin Kunkel’s Indecision is written in Holden Caulfield’s voice. Gothamist can’t remember such a wacky review since she favored us with her thoughts on Candace Bushnell’s Trading Up, said thoughts taking the form of a memo from Elle Woods to Bushnell’s protagonist. (Seriously, read it. It’s crazy.) While it’s hard to say that Michi’s grasp of voice is absolutely secure—however......

Only beautiful people can throw beautiful people parties at clubs that are already the toast of the town before they've officially opened. This is a rule of the city. You can tattoo this on your arm. It's called the pecking order, people. Get beautiful or get used to it. NA, Noel Ashman's semi-private club which opens October 6th, seemed much more than semi-open to Jay McInerney and Candace Bushnell's party for the publication of......

Amy Sohn, Novelist/ Journalist...

Gothamist got sucked into watching the 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs show on VH1, and we realized that the thing about any most awesomely bad song is that they had to have hit the zeitgeist, or at least filled a void in our empty lives, or else we wouldn't be able to remember that "Informer" was by the rapper Snow. And they are so good to karaoke to. Here's the whole list. Anyway, number five......

While Candace Bushnell gets a lot of play for having written the column that the TV show Sex and the City is based on, Gothamist argues that the charm and appeal are due to the efforts of the writers. One writer (and she's an executive producer as well) is Cindy Chupack who has just written a book of essays, The Between Boyfriends Book. She talks to the Post about it, "I wrote about the......

Hellfire and damnation, Michiko Kakutani reviews Candace Bushnell's new book, Trading Up. As Elle "Legally Blonde" Woods. No joke. Kakutani, as Elle, writes a memo to the book's main character, Janey Wilcox: "Excuse the interruption, but I just read your story in "Trading Up," and thought I really, really need to write you. I mean, we Blondes have to stick together, right? And we both started out with so much in common — like we......

In the world of "girls trying to make it in the city" journalism, Gothamist has been reading Amy Sohn's Naked City column in New York magazine for a while, with a bulletproof formula of sex, personal musings, more sex, New York context, maybe a big picture idea but not necessarily. Lately, we've noticed the Post has its variation on the them in Bridget Harrison. Both seem to be positioning themselves as the 21st century's Candace......

Mon dieu! Gothamist's favorite New York Times food writer, Amanda Hesser, and husband New Yorker writer Tad Friend, are riding Segways in Paris for Slate. Apparently, Tad Friend is heading up some sort of diplomatic-literary-technology type of delegation to bring cutting edge human transport devices to old-school Europe. About time. We especially like this picture of them hauling the Segways up steps at the Jardins du Luxembourg. Friend is terribly funny about the trip......
