Tongues are wagging that the forty-something singles of Sex and the City may be reuniting for their big movie after all. The on-again off-again nature of the film has kept die-hard fans in limbo as to the fate of Carrie, Big and the girls. There's no confirmation that anyone is participating but according to Mario Catone filming may begin as early as this fall.

"I know the script is being written and I know it will be brilliant because [show creator] Michael Patrick King is writing it," Mario Catone, who played Charlotte's wedding planner on the show, told Australian press. "If it happens, we should film it in early fall I think, but I hope it stays on course, because I would love to do it..."

I'm not sure I'm really all that interested any more. Don't get me wrong.. I'm no hater. I own all of the dvds and have seen them all at least twice... but do I really care what happens to these ladies? I'm not sure Sarah Jessica Parker can keep pulling off such "fashion-forward" looks and narcissistic romantic-indulgences anymore - she's hardly an ingenue. And Kim Catrall is getting danerously close to collecting social security  - and I don't want to know about Senior Sex and the City. Source

Speaking of Carrie's fashion choices - take a good look at the photo above. Let's break down this outfit...
High heels • Cargo Pants • Cocktail Dress • Satin shortie jacket • grandma's pearls • ballerina bun. Cute? I think not. The other three fashionistas are dressed appropriately and realistically for their characters- who on God's green earth would wear everything found in Let's Make a Deal's suitcase #1 out for happy hour?

Heartthrob Hugh Grant was victimized at the premier of his valentine's day romcom Music & Lyrics by overzealous Dutch presenter Cielke Sijben. The tv journalist asked for a picture and then hand-cuffed herself to the actor and conveniently didn't have a key. The police had to come pry the two apart and she was hauled off to jail. Nice stunt. Hugh, if I were you, I'd check twice next time that intern from the Tonight Show is on the red carpet...

Is SNL smarty-pants Jimmy Fallon suiting up to be the new red-headed bad boy Conan O'Brien, king of late, late nights? Rumor has it that Jimmy might be taking Conan's place at the latenight desk when he takes on the Tonight Show in 2009. NBC confirms they're courting him for a deal but not a guarantee for the talk-show gig. 

I would probably watch Jimmy -- he'll just crack himself up all the time... but you could probably get him to do skits like Johnny Carson used to do. As long as they don't let Horatio Sanz be his second chair, I can get on board....plus I'm sure his studio band will be bangin'.

His biggest competition is the latest night host Carson Daly. God, no -- go to PLAN B!!! NBC, if you're reading this, think hard. I don't care if you pick Jimmy or not, just please, please don't pick Carson. He sucks. bad. Try woo-ing Craig Ferguson.. he's way underrated and probably underpaid.

Ever wonder where those disputed and ultimately disposed pages from wikipedia go to die? Evidently it's someone's calling in life to preserve them for our amusement and perhaps enlightenment(?) at The Wikipedia Knowledge Dump. The "people" have evidently decided that these subjects don't cut the proverbial mustard to be included in "the people's" democratic encyclopedia - or at least not yet.

Sample a few topics like: a List of people who died in the bathroom, Homer Simpson's Lifelong dreams, the Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln, and the Chickenology encyclopedia. Who knows what you may learn... bookmark it and visit often... something tells me "we the people" will continue to post oddities to wikilands across the world... and we will also deem some of them dumpworthy. Enjoy!

Gamine actress Michelle Williams showed up at the Independent Spirit Awards this weekend with a new cropped do a la Mia Farrow. All I can say is that she has a fantastic hairdresser... the look is spot on. I'm not sure if you can be an ingenue if you already have children... but you surely can look like one if you want -- it's a free country after all.

This clip is a couple of months old -- but it's from the future at the same time! How? You ask? It's a preview of Anderson Cooper slumming on Sesame Street with that grouchy Oscar. He does some interviewing from a garbage can and evidently the garbage can was stinky. Ewww. Keep your eyes open for this episode next September.. I can't wait! 

Poor Anderson Cooper. He can't seem to keep his sultry sexiness under wraps - seems he was bought at a recent charity auction for $21K.

When a lunch date with the CNN anchor went on the block at the Puck Building the other night at the benefit for Bailey House, which helps AIDS victims, British bachelor Oliver Hicks bid aggressively and won the date for $21,000. Hicks, who shuttles between New York and Los Angeles, runs production company North Six.

You know he hates it that he has to 'publicly' date a man. He obviously denies that he doesn't dig chicks for a reason... but good 'ol Andy's a sport you know. I'm sure the press will have a field day with this gossipy tidbit. Ah, the irony... the irony. :)  Source

4/5ths of the Jolie-Pitts were out and about trying to blend in to the New Orleans ambiance. This super cute pic of Zahara gettin' her munchies on with Shiloh looking on is just way too cute for words. Even though Zahara is not the genetically perfect celebrity spawn - she sure is darn cute - and her attitude shows all over her face. You know she takes after her momma's kick butt side of the family... come to think of it... she looks a little like Angelina. hmmm..

In other Jolie-Pitt news, Angelina's ex Billy Bob Thorton tells In Touch magazine that he and Angelina stay 'in touch' on an almost daily basis. Do you think Angie would allow Brad and Jen to talk on a daily basis??? I think not. This one smacks of rumor for sure - who has time to talk on the phone with three kids and the whole continent of Africa to take care of.

What happens when animals are feeling artistic? Multi-species experimentation maybe? This bear and bunny are making quite the statement this week in an auction at Christie's in New York. Paul McCarthy's Bear and Rabbit on a Rock is estimated at $1-1.5 million as part of a larger lot called 'Beyond Selections from the Collections of Peter Huber' that will be held February 26, 2007.

During an evening sale on February 26, Christie's New York is to offer 78 pieces from the private collection of post-war and contemporary art of the legendary Swiss connoisseur, art dealer and Lebenskünstler Pierre Huber. Formed over the past two decades, the collection offers a glimpse into the mind and soul of Huber, a relentless purist and uncompromising explorere intent on following a very individual path. The sale is expected to realize in the region of $11-15 million.

The  auction includes additional installations, photography and  works by Cindy Sherman, Jim Shaw, Albert Oehlen and Franz West.

See details on the auction here. Bid 'em if you want 'em! 

Swedish popster Robyn's new video for her song Konichiwa Bitches really cracked me up. She sounds like Missy Elliot in Bizarro World where they've replaced all the oxygen with helium. Sometimes I wish I was Swedish... it seems like the whole country is really just made of cotton candy.... Abba anyone? Thanks Popbytes for the link.

Yesterday my husband and I were watching You, Me & Dupree and we got into an argument about whether or not Paco, the bodyguard, was The Rock or not. After bickering for 1/2 the movie, we finally settled the score at imdb... and sure enough - Duane 'the Rock' Johnson has a doppelganger!  Sidney S. Liufau, a martial-artist, looks like Duane on steroids.... Can you tell which one is which in the photo?

This week in Celeb Gossip...

• Lordy, lordy - someone in Hollywood finally snapped from those wearing those ridiculous extensions all the time. In case you missed it, following a 24-hour stint in a rehab facility "Crossroads" in Antigua, Britney Spears flew home to California and had an unfortunate 'moment.' Long story short, crazy loon shaved her own head in a salon and then hit a local tattoo parlor for a little more ink. Read more about the whole saga here. Brilliant illustration from Gallery of the Absurd.
• Keri Russell married her longtime boyfriend and future baby-daddy Shane Deary on Valentine's Day in New York. They are expecting their first child this summer. Congrats to the happy couple. Source
• Hugh Grant is back on the market as he announces his split with fiancee' Jemima Khan. This news comes right on the release of his Valentine's Day romantic comedy Music & Lyrics starring Drew Barrymore. The two made a dashing couple at the premiere last week... but according to Drew, she's way too cheery for the grumpy old Hugh. Grump lovers get your goodies together, Hugh could be yours! 

This week in In Baby News...

• Bryce Dallas Howard and her husband Seth Gabel have welcomed a bouncing baby boy. This is the first granchild for Bryce's director dad, Ron Howard. Details to come soon I hope.
  
• The Vampire Slayer and skating celeb Kristy Swanson & Lloyd Eisler have also debuted their newest collaboration, baby boy Magnus Hart Swanson Eisler. He was born on February 15 and weighted 7 lbs, 11 oz. Congrats.
  
• Napoleon Dynamite, Jon Heder, and his wife Kirsten are expecting a girl this April. And the Biggest Loser's Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston are expecting a baby girl on July 9th. Best of luck to the reality twosome - and good luck with the baby weight! Source
  
• It seems that Bridget Moynahan and footballer Tom Brady are going to be parents for the first time.  Bridget's rep confirms that she is 3 months pregnant.  The ex-couple broke up last December and Mr. Brady is already dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Stepmommy Gisele... that kid could do worse! Source
  

New York artist Christa Maiwald shows quite the flair with an embroidery needle. Her one-of-a-kind art pieces depict modern celebrities and historical portraits done with a needle and thread. Above is a picture of the back of a Martha Stewart piece - pretty cool. It really looks like her. She's got portraits of Bill and Hilary, Jon Stewart, Bill Murray and more. Check out her website here. Link via Boingboing

Oops! Looks like the googler who's in charge of drawing those special Google logos was up a wee too late last night. Isn't Google in the dictionary now... time to start spellchecking. Happy VD!

2007 is suiting up to be a great year for the ever stylish Cate Blanchett. She is one of my favorite style icons ever! She is in her thirties, a risk-taker, always conscious of how she looks and not afraid to be over-the-top glam with a cheeky sense of humor. Even if every look isn't my favorite - she doesn't shy away from challenging fashion looks. Only someone with the grace of a supermodel and confidence of a prizefighter can be truly daring - and Cate's got what it takes.  She's been strutting her style stuff all over the globe this year - and is a "must-see" at this year's Oscars. I'm sure she'll look outrageously beautiful.

Pics left to right: Palm Springs Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, Armani at Paris Fashion Week, a Penfold's part, Golden Globe Awards, and the SAG Awards. Keep up with Cate at cateblanchett.net.
