Is Nicole Ari Parker Replacing Kim Cattrall in The Sex and The City Revival?

Published

on

Nicole Ari Parker is joining the Sex and the City squad, replacing Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones), in the series’ revival titled And Just Like That …. According to reports, Ari Parker will play Lisa Todd Wexley, a documentary-maker, and Carrie Bradshaw’s new best friend.

The reveal took place after Sarah Jessica Parker posted a photo on Instagram of the four main stars embracing each other with a caption,

“Oh, so fine.
I’d sing along to 70’s love songs with this trio deep into any night.
@justlikethatmax I’ll see you ladies tomorrow!
X, SJ”

In 2019, Cattrall expressed her readiness to leave her character behind in an interview with the Observer. “I went past the finish line playing Samantha Jones because I loved Sex and the City,” she said. “It was a blessing in so many ways, but after the second movie, I’d had enough. I couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t just replace me with another actress instead of wasting time bullying. No means no.”

Based on the book Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell, the series centers around the lives of relationships columnist Carrie (Parker) and her three best friends, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Cattrall). The fan-favorite Emmy ward-winning show first aired in 1998 and ran for six seasons.

The new series will follow the characters “as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s”. The revival will consist of 10 half-hour episodes and air exclusively on HBO Max.

The reboot will be executive produced by three of the original show’s original lead stars – Parker, Davis, and Nixon.

Here Is Why Halle Berry Declined Van Hunt’s Proposal After 5 Years Of Dating

Published

on

Halle Berry and Van Hunt went public with their relationship in September 2020. After five years of dating, Hunt, a Grammy-winning musician, proposed to the Oscar-winning actress, but Berry has not yet accepted.

Berry’s decision to decline Hunt’s proposal, at least for now, stems primarily from her history with marriage. The actress has been married three times previously—to former MLB player David Justice (1993–1997), singer Eric Benét (2001–2005), and actor Olivier Martinez (2013–2016). She also shares a daughter, Nahla, 17, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, and a son, Maceo, 11, with Martinez. Hunt has been married once and has a teenage son, Drake.

During the Today interview, Berry explained, “Well, I’ve been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don’t.”

While Berry has not accepted Hunt’s proposal, she has not ruled out marriage entirely. In the same interview, she expressed that she believes Hunt is the right partner for her, stating, “I think we will get married just because, out of the people I’ve been married to, this is the person I should have married.” She added that any future marriage would be a choice made out of desire for expression, not obligation, and hinted at a potential wedding “soon.”

During an interview on E! News’ Daily Pop, the actress shared that her role in the CW series inspired her to come out to her mom.  “For me, I never felt like I had to hide anything,” Leslie said. “That wasn’t really where I was coming from. I just hadn’t had a conversation, so I just wanted to talk to my mom about it because I was living my life. I just wanted to be able to talk to her so she didn’t have to be told through the media.”
