Sex and the City 3..to be or not to be?

New Line Cinema Movie bosses have slammed reports that there will be a third instalment of  the ‘Sex and the City’ movie franchise insisting they are not expanding the series in the future (darn it).

A sequel to the original big-screen hit of 2008 is due out later this year starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon (we showed you the official movie poster on showbiz-i recently).

Rumours have been flying that the cast will make a third film whilst they’re still looking hawt, with the final flick completing the story of NY’s famous four. Cattrall further fuelled the rumours appearing on Wossy’s Friday night chat show saying there could be a film “as long as we have stories to tell”.

So watch this space Carrie and the gang fans!

Actor raids his bank!

Actor Rip Torn has been arrested for reportedly breaking into a bank, mucho under the influence of liquid and even better, with a fully loaded revolver?? Way to go Rip!

The Man Who Fell to Earth actor broke into the bank in the US and was caught by Police who are now holding him on £50k bail charging him with:

- First-degree burglary and criminal trespass
- Carrying a gun without a permit and being intoxicated with said firearm
- Third-degree criminal mischief (our fave, cheeky innit!)

And the best actor award goes to…

Spice Girl’s Class A-hole Boyf

Ooh big slap wrist for Geri Halliwell’s boyf as he’s been arrested for possession of cocaine (Mr Stupido).

Henry Beckwith, heir to a £400m fortune was arrested in society hangout ‘Raffles’ and taken to Chelsea Police Station where he was charged with possession of a class A drug.

Beckwith wasn’t with the ex-Spice Girl at the time of his arrest but we’re thinking a good kicking to the curb is needed – hardly great for the old reputation is it Geri and you’re a Mama to..tut tut.

Another ‘sleb’ couple bites the dust

Aww, we’ve got through a box of hankies and the puffy eyes are nearly back to normal after hearing of Charlize Theron’s split from long-time lover boy Stuart Townsend.

Seems the pretty couple split after Christmas and Theron has removed the ‘commitment ring’ Townsend gave her as a symbol of their relationship.

We’re waiting to see just how long Theron lasts on the single market though!

Pimp my Enders’

Talk about looking like dodgy Brothel Madams on the hunt for new skirt – Letitia Dean and Hannah Waterman prove there isn’t really life after Eastenders – apart from Panto, fitness DVD’s and a crapola wardrobe.

The actresses, both currently starring in the touring production of ‘Calender Girls‘ (meaning a load of C-list actors with nothing else to do) have become friendies as Waterman is kipping ont’ Letitia’s futon after splitting from TV nice guy Ricky Groves.

We’re really digging the floral-patterned tights Hannah…not.

The ‘Price’ is right

So the BFG won Sleb BB and now Alex Reid and Katie Price are plotting a sensational £2m OK Magazine story to surpass all others – by revealing they may be on the verge of marriage.

Price is said to be planning an engagement party that the gossip mag will exclusively cover as well as the marriage celebrations themselves – umm, didn’t she do that with Mr Andre??

The Queen of her own PR, Price is hoping the move will boost her flagging popularity after she lost the public support battle with Andre – despite still releasing more crapola books and nauseas perfumes.

We say get out whilst you can Alex, you’re far too nice for her – even if you do have a penchant for ladies stockings.

A bit more drama for Blige!

R’n'B singer and diva Mary J Blige committed the ultimate no-no at the Pre-Grammy’s party – by laying into her band in front of some of the biggest names in muzak.

The singer appeared disgruntled on stage as she stepped up to sing ‘No More Drama’ telling the band to ‘get the music right for Ms Blige please, are we practising still‘. The band were allegedly playing the wrong intro for the song which was later said to be down to issues with ear-pieces.

The ‘sleb’ filled audience of Hollywood Royalty including Babs Streisand were said to be none too impressed with the diva’s behaviour – but gave her a standing ovation at the end of her performance anyway – Hollywood eh..it’s all just tantrums and tiaras as Elt would say!

Coops Engaged???!!

NOOOOOOO!

Bradley Cooper spotted out and about in NYC looking at flash-bang-bling jewellers and eeek..RINGS??!! Currently dating Renee Zellwhatever, the actor was papped in Friedman & Son in ‘camo’ so he wouldn’t be recognised – but he was.

Don’t do it Coops..she wears BIG knickers!

The Penguins did it!

Ok we’ve heard some pretty crazy shizzle in our time, but snuffing it because you were fired from ‘Happy Feet 2′ is a little far-fetched don’t cha think!!

Well not according to the late Brittany Murphy’s hubby who is reported to have blamed Warner Studios for her fatal heart attack after hearing the news she had been dropped from the movie – and is now filing a lawsuit against them for ‘wrongful death’.

Studio Execs however have hit back saying Simon Monjack’s claims are ‘reprehensible’ denying they had a contract with Murphy. A spokesperson for the studios said:

Any claim that Warner Bros Pictures was somehow responsible for Brittany Murphy’s tragic death is demonstrably false, reprehensible, and defamatoryDespite press reports to the contrary, Warner Bros Pictures and Ms Murphy never entered into any deal for Happy Feet 2, and thus, there was not a contract to cancel.’

Monjack is claiming the studio sacked Murphy from the film after hearsay that she had been fired from horror flick ‘The Caller’ for being ‘difficult’. He also claims the star’s career was over before they met and that she was anti-drugs after rumours that he may have played a part in her death.

Anti-drugs depsite the fact she was hooked on perscription medication – hmm – something a bit dodgy there we thinks. We’ll wait and see what the penguins say.

Mimi Plays Doctors and Nurses

If you thought Mimi’s ‘Golden Globes’ looked hawt recently, then you’ll pretty much like her new video for the single ‘Up Out my Face’ – that’s like down with the street lingo for ‘Please remove yourself from my View‘.

The single features mad-mimi as a minxy little nurse, so expect lots of cleavage shots and trout pouts – oh and she plays with chewing gum in a saucy manner  if you like that sort of thing. Anyhoo…here’s the vid (yawn).
