Sarah Jessica Parker is taking the cancellation of AJLT hard

It's giving Baby Jane Hudson vibes at this point.

She loves the free clothes

I couldn't help but wonder: Is it time to put the old gray mare out to pasture? 🐴

I could see a Carrie - only show.

But...she's 60. Not old, but a bit old to be going around the city sipping cosmos in high heels.

I think she needs to move to a new city and write about that - and how to de-New York yourself and open yourself to another environment.

r5 seems a wee bit triggered.

Maybe he needs a "safe space" and some Play-Doh.

How about - 'And Just Like That - the Final years'. Takes place in an upscale assisted living facility where the remaining cast is shown wearing old, tattered designer garb stained with food and jabbering about the past - think Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.

It’s her identity.

It's not even her work though. It's Candace Bushnell's creation, yet SJP acts like she created the whole damn thing. She got publicly pissed when they did The Carrie Diaries, because she couldn't fathom another actress doing HER role. I'm sure the author loves the money, but at some point, you'd think she release a statement sort of putting things into perspective.

Wow - this thread escalated quickly.

r5/r8 You ok?

Wellness check for R5/R8 please 911.

R5/R8, I called the pharmacy and your prescription will be ready in an hour.

TAKES REINS!! Even Radar Online can't resist a good SJP looks like a horse joke.

I think there should be a soinoff featuring her huge honker. We would follow it as it experiences life in the big city - including cold and pollen season.

They could use cgi to return it to her pre-rhinoplasty days, when it was as big as Montana, for flashback scenes.

People watch AJLT, so they’d watch this.

Spinoff

How can the cancellation be news to an executive producer? Presumably she was kept in the loop.

I want her to focus on giving us Hocus Pocus Part 3 before Bette Midler croaks. The movie has been "in development" for the past couple years. What gives? Part 2 was very successful.

Move her to London. Each episode follows her stalking Duncan.

Milk that cash cow 'til those giant udders falls off, gurl!!!

Sarah Jessica Parker has to do something. She has 3 ugly, unremarkable & talentless children to support for the rest of their lives.

[quote]Sarah Jessica Parker has to do something. She has 3 ugly, unremarkable & talentless children to support for the rest of their lives.

So does Demi Moore, but you don’t see her hanging onto characters from 25 years ago.

How about a series where Carrie marries a gay nepo baby actor and starts a family while cultivating an all-new, even more dreadful set of friends? A fame hungry cable executive, his dour news anchor best friend, a married couple with their own talk show, and their respective nannies, who are all that stand between them and their respective children. The story ideas would be endless. Game nights! Cocktail hours! Trips to the Hamptons! Shopping! A guaranteed smash hit.

R23, Demi has done a lot of shitty films over the years. Demi was doing voice overs for podcasts back in 2020.

One of her ugly daughters just did a humiliatingly vulgar commercial (see below). Daddy's money isn't rolling in anymore

I didn’t read the linked article, because — well, why bother?

What I take away from this was that HBO pulled the plug, which was a surprise to Parker and King. Probably simply seeing the outline for this season (again with Aidan?) and a couple of finished scripts convinced them that this creative team was drifting, with no clear plan for any real forward momentum or drama re the character arcs. Meanwhile they probably already had an inkling that they were going to renew “The Gilded Age,” which is incredibly expensive, and the salaries for Parker, Nixon and Davis were probably about to hit higher levels which weren’t justified by ratings that probably weren’t growing the way numbers for “The Gilded Age” has.

Kinda surprised that they're able to shop this out to other streamers, but WB/HBO must have guaranteed profit participation, so they probably now just told them to go knock themselves out trying this sad attempt..

She needs to let. It. Go....

Good, gravy, give it a rest already SJP.

Didn’t she do other things before this ridiculous show?

Didn’t she do fucking Broadway?? Can’t she get back to that? Or is she just too lazy to work that hard again?

Dear God, won't somebody hire her? We can't be having her spend more time at home!

[quote] Didn’t she do fucking Broadway?? Can’t she get back to that? Or is she just too lazy to work that hard again?

There's a very funny-bitchy moment in her memoir SHY where Mary Rodgers says that the part of Winifred the Woebegone from her hit Once Upon a Mattress is harder than it looks because you need a whole bunch of things to succeed, among them a powerful belting voice, serious comedic chops, and a likeable stage presence,. She then says Carol Burnett had all of those things but SJP only had one of them (presumably, the likeable stage presence), which is why the 90s Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress was not a success.

SJP is going to have to content herself with supporting roles from now on--her days of being a romantic heroine are over. I doubt she'll even get many lead roles, unless they revive the "Ma Kettle" franchise (she'd be perfect in the part).

How was that show Divorce?

MPK was also too old for this revival--he's 70. It was like he simply did not understand all the changes in American sociology in the last 15 years, but had heard about them and so wrote them into the show even though he knew nothing about them.

Not bad.

[quote]She needs to let. It. Go....

The woman needs to let it go.

The woman needs to let [bold]it[/bold]go.

The woman needs to let it [bold]go[/bold].

She’s coming across like Florence Henderson did - milking her old TV show for all its worth.

R32 - Divorce was a slog - SJP (Carrie) was petty, whiny and just a nag (not related to the equine species). OTOH, Thomas Haden Church was a delight - I really like him as an actor and believe he's a 'roll with it' kinda guy in real life.

And what's with the continuation of the long, mane like hairstyle that she's worn for over 3 decades. Other than that, I think she's God's gift to the entertainment world and is universally underappreciated.

This fucking sea hag needs to give it a REST.

Let's fake out the old clam.

We'll do ANOTHER series, but in a shocking twist, Carrie drops dead from alcohol poisoning in the first episode, and her ill-gotten brownstone is taken over by Gen-Z squatters who turn it into some kind of commie co-op/soap factory. And the drama shifts to their little problems and sex lives.

It's Donald Trump's America in 2025. Ain't nobody giving a HOT SHIT about cute heels or boozy brunches or which menopausal millionaire twat got laid last week. Get some real fucking problems, horsey!

She has talent and excelled in many of her early roles. She would be better served by branching out, taking supporting, character-actor roles, even doing the stage. But no, she wants to be a one-trick pony I guess.

I don’t dislike Parker, I like her. And she ‘s done the very best with what he has and managed to eke out a fine career and life, especially for someone whose talent was small and whose looks were never classically beautiful (except when it came to her great chassis).

Retire gracefully, Sarah, you’ve gone far for that little trailer trash girl in “Annie.”

JLo vibes here. Give it a rest girl.

I think they should do another movie where the go to Scandinavia and meet hot, Nordic men in the winter. They could wear fabulous coats, sweaters and boots, learn how to ski, see the Northern lights…I’d watch

Doesn’t she have gobs and gobs of money? Why doesn’t she just enjoy life now?

She should be eternally grateful for the number of hit tv shows and movies she’s been in, a more solid career than many actors with ten times her talent.

It’s time to revive Golda’s Balcony!

Or The Sisters Rosensweig starting these three.

SJP and Kim Cattrall in a remake of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Maybe tubi ill pick them up...

Not knowing when to call it quits never works out well.

Her commercial success has exceeded her talent. And that is not putting her down by any stretch.

But she has made a shit ton of money off of Carrie Bradshaw.

SJP could be great in a remake of Sunset Boulevard with Glen Close in a minor supporting role.

In 15 years she'll be at Lucille Ball Life With Lucy age, so maybe audiences will be ready for another reboot then.

Maybe it's time for SJP to make a Stone Pillow remake? Unless Gary talks her out of it.

Keep Calm and Carrie On

If there's a remake of anything featuring SJP, they better step on it. She's 60(?) and in a few more years she'll scooting around on one of those 'Hoveround' personal conveyance. Then the story would have to center around a bunch of tired old heifers running around on be-dazzled scooters playing motorized shuffleboard and cutting in line at the 24 hour buffet. Yeah, I'd watch that.

Young Carrie! Id that fucking Sheldon can pull it off, than I can do this, Young Carrie in 6th grade smoking cigs in the middle of social studies class and writing diaries about her crushes instead of classwork

She should move the story into animation. It’s where canceled shows used to go.

It’s sort of like watching g a caught fish flopping around on a dock until it asphyxiates, but it’s a sort of increased longevity.

I’d like to see the ladies fighting monsters in space.

And they can bring back Kim Cattrall since she could do her voice recording without ever seeing or even hearing the rest of the cast.

[quote]SJP could be great in a remake of Sunset Boulevard with Glen Close in a minor supporting role.

Sooooo great if you overlook the fact that she can't sing for shit.

The movie, not the musical, honey. Gloria Swanson did not sing.

And SJP will win a gutless Oscar for that role, while G gets yet another empty fucking nomination.

Pardon me, honey. I'm sure your mention of Glenn Close had nothing to do with my misunderstanding of your great wit.

I appreciate that she didn't fuck up her face with surgery or medspa treatments and she's always kept a trim figure. Small praise but it can't be easy being a lead actress from a sex comedy who is now old.

Having said that, this character needs to die!! It had already run its course by the end of the show. The movies and the revival are insufferable. Had they ended the series on a realistic note, where she doesn't find her rich prince charming then the revivals could've worked. I think people would be far more interested in watching a show about a woman who makes a normal income and lives a normal life in her 60s after some glamorous younger years, but is also trying to date.

[quote]We'll do ANOTHER series, but in a shocking twist, Carrie drops dead from alcohol poisoning in the first episode, and her ill-gotten brownstone is taken over by Gen-Z squatters who turn it into some kind of commie co-op/soap factory.

Make it a glue factory and 30 minutes, and you've got a deal.

Samantha was the only interesting character. The other three are irritating twats. Nobody wants to see more of Carrie you dumb hoe.

Jennifer Aniston was able to move past Rachel Green. It's time for SJP to do the same.

So HBO Max cancelled the show and Parker is having trouble moving on? If the article is true, it confirms what we expected-- The show was involuntarily axed and King's comment that "we decided " to end things was bull shit.

The network likely agreed to 2 additional episodes to wrap things up . . . probably after King and Parker whined that the plots weren't done.

Repeated bad decisions doomed this thing. It was a mercy killing. I agree that Parker needs to look for a new role to play in a well written script. While she has limited talent and is no classic beauty, Parker has screen presence to carry her if she has a decent script.

Maureen Callahan, a celebrity/pop culture commentator has been doing a months-long takedown of the series/SJP and her recent episode was hilarious.

The Carrie Diaries was pretty good. Even THEY brought Samantha on for Season 2.

Austin Butler. Carrie Diaries.

Maureen Callahan is a right wing hack.

[bold] This is actually the perfect time to relaunch Square Pegs!! [/bold]--------Sarah Jessica Parker talking to ABC.

[bold]"We no longer require your services. Good luck with your future endeavors someplace else"----------HBO [/bold] ,(looking at the financials of "AJLT" and "Divorce").

That hairstyle and the raccoon eye makeup aren't doing her any favors.

R23 - well Demi is aptly named now because half of her has been completely removed and replaced with new parts.

And exposing your breasts, hairy pussy and flat ass on film at 60 isn't for everyone.

[quote]R20 Move her to London. Each episode follows her stalking Duncan.

And Kim Cattrall.

[quote] where they go to Scandinavia and meet hot, Nordic men

Hmm, like Lars of My Labia?

I could see her playing Mame on Broadway.

How did this ugly woman get so far?

[quote]I could see her playing Mame on Broadway.

You'll be surrounded by lots of empty seats, I can assure you.

People are never satisfied. If they had brought Kim back, all people would have been talking about is her new cereal scoop looking chin. When did she get that kleenex box implant? Or is that all her?

SJP's reaction just confirmed everything Kim ever said about her. Seriously, there must be some data to show SJP that the Carrie character became toxic after S3 of the original series. Gosh, you'd think that the persona we thought we knew wore away and the real SJP emerged as she gained more control over the character.

[quote] Young Carrie! Id that fucking Sheldon can pull it off, than I can do this

They already did that. It’s called The Carrie Diaries.

I never understand people having such hate for something they DONT HAVE TO WATCH. , Discussing it constantly?? I dislike soccer, it is something i just ignore despite it pushed in my face constantly with the public wearing soccer jerseys and constant media and SM coverage. But that's what the remote control is for...if it makes others happy and I don't have to watch it, great. WTF is the problem?????

Sweet Jesus Sarah, just let it GO already.

[quote]Sarah Jessica Parker has to do something. She has 3 ugly, unremarkable & talentless children to support for the rest of their lives.

Tell me about it!

[quote] MPK was also too old for this revival--he's 70. It was like he simply did not understand all the changes in American sociology in the last 15 years

He said that the fans wanted to see Carrie rich and living her best life in AJLT in designer clothes.

Uh, no?

People liked Carrie in SATC when she was a good-natured, irresponsible mess with weird clothes.

They misread their audience. The average SATC viewer 20 years ago was not a shallow, wealth-obsessed status seeker. She was an office drone with middle class ambitions looking for a little romance and escapism on a Sunday night. The wealth and status obsessions of the final season, the films, and now AJLT, couldn't sustain that audience. It's not why they tuned in initially. The show became something else entirely, and any early fans who stuck around were mostly hate-watching or couldn't tear their eyes off the train wreck before them.

SJP and the other creatives never caught this. They were too busy with their heads up their asses, destroying once-iconic characters for yet another paycheck.

She fights for us!

You nailed it. SJP loves smelling her own farts.

She thinks she can swan around NYC in ridiculous getups and that’s all the audience needs.

R65: She goes on a bit too long, but parts are really funny.

Give it up Carrie you can't compete with Emily.

Parker is wearing blinders if she didn't see the writing on the wall: the show was heading for inevitable cancellation soon.

How long had they been planning for it to run?

Now she can do that Broadway revival of "To Grandmother's House We Go" everybody has been clamoring for.

I doubt that this unceremonious ending bodes well for SJP getting much in the way of offers. She has limited range as an actress and I don't see her doing character roles. Absent old time vehicles for old actors like Dinner Theater or Murder, She Wrote, the only options might be voice work--she could exploit being Carrie that way, but for how long?

Has Broderick done anything lately? Is there any chance that their ugly kids will go into performing? They really seem like a homely bunch--receiving the least attractive features of each parent.

Too bad there isn't a planned reboot of "The Love Boat." She could have been a recurring guest star like Charo.

[quote] SJP could be great in a remake of Sunset Boulevard with Glen Close in a minor supporting role.

No, she'd be awful. Norma Desmond has to be a faded beauty; no one would buy that SJP had ever been beautiful.

SJP and Matthew Broderick's kids are not at all attr......well, I guess the polite thing to say would be "no comment."

The girls aren’t too bad. The on on the far right looks just like Broderick

The son has very out of proportion features (he has nice eyes). Maybe hes well-hung

She and Matthew need to do Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on stage.

I can't be topped all day by very hot , masculine and muscular young guys if she's home all day.

R97- The son has got a very unusual chin.

Do we think he's a closet queen like his bossy bottom daddy?

R101 probably

I believe it would be impossible to be the son of Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker and be heterosexual.

OP- She needs that bossy bottom she's married to - to POUND HER HARD

She could develop and produce something SHE’S NOT IN!

How’s that, ya aging old bat??

RADAR ONLINE is complete crap, unreported, click bait garbage.

The two movies were bad, especially the second one, but where they miscalculated with the spin-off was the playing to social justice and related things. The original series was about materialistic women enjoying New York City and they happened to be a group of friends. The show tried to shoe-horn gender identity, racial diversity and other stuff into the mix, probably because they felt they had to or they would face the wrath of keyboard warriors comparing four white women to Nazi Germany for maintaining their close-knit friendship and not admitting token add-ons every race and ambiguous gender to their group. I'm not sure any great filklma or TV series can come off as anything but disingenuous when they are essentially blackmailed into storylines and casting. Probably, had the new show been conceived now versus several years ago, at the height of social justice warrior policing, they could have gotten away with just a continuation of the original series, minus all of the box checking they felt forced to do at the outset.

*film not filklma

I have to post Mark Kermode's review of SATC 2. It's spot on.

Are those kids all biologically hers? I thought she used a surrogate for some of them.

She gave birth to their son. She was pregnant during Season 5. The costume department (Pat Field) did a good job hiding it. It was more obvious in the last episode (the one with the Hamptons wedding with Nathan Lane).

She used a surrogate for her daughters (who are twins).

James Wilkie got her horse face.

[quote] She could develop and produce something SHE’S NOT IN!

I do not understand. How would that be possible?

Can’t she just do Royal Kingdom commercials like everyone else?

She was on EP on this trainwreck, so I don’t know that any studio would trust her to attempt to produce anything.

Maybe a remake of "My Friend Flicka"?

[quote] No, she'd be awful. Norma Desmond has to be a faded beauty; no one would buy that SJP had ever been beautiful

So true.

[quote]Too bad there isn't a planned reboot of "The Love Boat." She could have been a recurring guest star like Charo.

I think Charo made more guest appearances on "The Love Boat" than anyone else. Which, when you think about it, really doesn't speak well for either of them.

[quote] This is actually the perfect time to relaunch Square Pegs!

Did she play the fat girl, or the fat girl's friend?

Incidentally, I met “the fat one” (Amy Linker) at a party around 2001 (?) and she was quiet. Very pretty… NOT fat. Seemed like a sweet, shy person. (Also, quite short. I’m 5’8” and she might have come up to my chin.)

I wonder why SJP never had a role created for Linker on any of the show’s iterations. She could have extended a hand to the past and paid her old friend a fortune.

Was this why my towns morning radio show guys were talking about Jamie Gertz? Rebooting Square Pegs??

They said she was a billionaire many times over, with partial ownership of the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta pro basketball team. I believe.

🤔

That's true r122. Her husband is loaded, but he's self-made. When he and Jamie first met and started dating many years ago he was flat broke and living with a bunch of roommates.

Yeah, the morning show dudes were mentioning that early on in their marriage, she was the breadwinner and they had their house and other things because of her and her tv show/ movie earnings.

That’s cool. Good for them.

She probably wouldn’t be interested in a reboot or revisit.

Has SJP considered doing a remake of NATIONAL VELVET?

[quote] I wonder why SJP never had a role created for Linker on any of the show’s iterations. She could have extended a hand to the past and paid her old friend a fortune.

Thanks for the laugh!

Jami Gertz, Tracy Nelson, and Claudette Wells might've appreciated being thrown a guest-star bone or two on SATC/AJLT.

I guess SJP never imagined a world where Square Pegs would be considered a less embarrassing show, but that's what she's made happen!

Jamie had a mild comeback in 2012 on The Neighbors, which ran for 2 seasons. She was pleasant and the show was simple and enjoyable.

[quote]Has SJP considered doing a remake of NATIONAL VELVET?

She's more interested in doing another comedy. Maybe a "Mr. Ed" reboot?

Jamie was great in Still Standing. I really enjoyed that show. Sally Struthers as her mother in law was especially funny. I mean who couldn’t enjoy a show that dedicates an entire episode to the teenage son’s complete embarrassment over his giant cock?

I’ve had sufficient. R127

You all understand that RADAR is not a fact based website. It is click bait with ZERO reporting.

She’s the most boring character on the show. Sure she wears fashionable clothes but the bitch is 60–stop with the stilettos.

A show about her would just be about her getting bitchier and bitchier. And no one wants to see a wrinkled bitch fucking around

[quote]the bitch is 60–stop with the stilettos.

I see a hip fracture in her future.

I googled who represents her. She used to be with CAA but now they don’t represent the acting part of her career.

I’m just surprised that an agent/manager wasn’t on top of how bad this show was and, while it was lucrative, Carrie was meal ticket and hook for other acting and marketing endeavors, so they should have pushed for change.

Kevin Huvane is SJP's agent.

SJP doesn't seem like the type to heed career advice from anyone. She has to be very entitled, thinking she could just keep playing the same ridiculous character in vehicle after vehicle, through 2 TV series and multiple films, with no end in sight. She really thought the world was as eternally enamored with Carrie Bradshaw as she always was. It's ludicrous. What other role/character ever had that staying power?

She must think she's Lucille Ball, and can just keep playing the same thing over and over and over and the audiences will lap it up even as the premise wears thin and the quality dips further and further. But she is not Lucille Ball, the audience today is nothing like the audience that sat through 4 iterations of the same basic sitcom with Lucy, and that social climbing, shoe-shopping, "Luurve-seeking" shallow-as-fuck Material Girl Carrie fucking Bradshaw traipsing around Manhattan like it's her own personal playground has zero relevance in the oligarchic America of 2025.

She should either go away for good and live off her millions, or go away for a long time and come back doing something completely different and unrecognizable from SATC.

Sarah has had an amazing career for an average-looking actress with limited talent. An iconic TV career and a respectable movie career. Her net worth is estimated at $200 million. Her career success is on par with Jennifer Aniston's. Sarah definitely had the better film career.

Jennifer must have MUCH more money.

Jennifer Aniston’s net worth is north of $300 million, while SJP’s is about $200 million.

Friends ran for ten seasons and had a far bigger audience than SATC.

I could see her hosting some reality show fashion competition for the fraus.

Good post r137

I can see her playing a cane faced lesbian … maybe a bitter drama teacher at a community college. If she cut all her hair off another Emmy could be hers!

Stay out of our lane R144

[quote]I can see her playing a cane faced lesbian … maybe a bitter drama teacher at a community college. If she cut all her hair off another Emmy could be hers!

That’s my role.

If she really wanted to stretch her acting chops, she would have had better opportunities over the past few decades, but she's largely stayed in her Carrie lane and now she's forever typecast in it.

She's now going to need to take guest spots on projects from her producer friends or go back to Broadway with her husband, but I don't think that turned out so well last time.

R140, no one knows what any of these people are worth. You think these net worth sites are at all accurate???

unless Jennifer anniston is a money pit of spending, we kind of CAN estimate her net worth and it probably low-balled. Does she have real estate around the world and live a jet set lifestyle? If so, we never hear about that. She appears to always live in one house and have lux but not outrageous holidays with friends and family. Friends alone has generated, from 2004 to 2025 (21 years), around $420 million in residuals per cast member. I wouldn't be shocked to learn Jennifer dies with half a billion and may already be there with investments. After she became super rich, its easy to multiply much higher.

Jennifer Aniston doesn’t have to raise three children through to graduate school in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Because that bankrupts multi-millionaires?

He husband seems to be a man of sense and discretion. Can't he talk her down from this? Maybe throw another Neil Simon role her way?

SJP should stick with what she does best, pulling a sulky around an oval track.

R152 the husband who killed Margaret Doherty (63) and Anna Gallagher (28) in a head on collision because he couldn't stay in his lane?

Come on R154, what does that have to do with anything? I'm quite sure he and Jennifer Grey didn't get into that car and say "let's see if we can kill 2 people and put ourselves into hospital for weeks with this car today".

Of course not. But calling him "a man of sense and discretion" is glaringly naive.

Because he was in a car accident?

He made a mistake that killed people. He was AT FAULT. Blithely calling him "a man of sense". I give up. Help yourself, you contrarian retard.

Oh. "R*tard." Thanks for self-identifying as an asshole. The cherry on top of your odious series of posts.

She and Demi each have a kid who graduated from Brown. Can't speak for Scout, but SJP's child is actually smart.

Every other celebrity sends a kid to Brown and it's been this way for several decades now.

If SJP has smart children, why didn’t they convince her not to embarrass herself with AJLT?

Their little nepo fingers should be on THE PULSE…

Jennifer Aniston also had her iconic role and hit big financial success earlier in life than SJP did. Jennifer was 25 when Friends took off, while SJP was mid-30s when SATC premiered. Yes, I know she had a career pre-SATC, but she didn’t have any huge roles that brought in tue kind of money Carrie Bradshaw did.

That fact alone gives Jennifer an advantage in terms of a whole decade of investing and compounding wealth earlier.

Has anyone here seen that movie (tv movie?) where sjp played a crazy negligent mom whose kids were taken away from her? (Maybe the mom was bipolar? Never saw it, just a clip or the trailer)

I guess that was sjp’s bid to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor. Clearly did not work.

But was she/it any good?

SJP has had a more high-brown career and life than Aniston.

Aniston appeals to a more basic demographic.

Very high brow!

[quote]SJP has had a more high-brown career and life

High-brown like shit.

Brown is the Ivy safety school for children of celebrities and eurotrash.

Jennifer Aniston produced a lot of shit too. She works a lot and not just acting. What was it, Plan-B she started Brad Pitt years ago and is now demanding 100 million from it?

“High-brown”!? That’s gold. I’m sure Jennifer is consoling herself by looking at her bank balance rather than worrying about how high-brown her career is in comparison to Sarah Jessica Fucking Parker.

[quote]Their little nepo fingers should be on THE PULSE

I suspect their little nepo fingers are on the ATM.

Does Nepo now mean just a child of a celebrity or rich person? Had it lost all the meaning of the child going into the same career field as their parent. I hate that the name. It’s so stupid. So American.

R29 in the spring/summer of 2022, she and Matthew Broderick starred in a revival of Neil Simon's PLAZA SUITE that was very successful.

[quote]R172 Does Nepo now mean just a child of a celebrity or rich person? Had it lost all the meaning of the child going into the same career field as their parent?

Well, truthfully, I just love throwing the phrase around : ) It doesn’t have to be accurate ALL the time!

She could have been wonderful as Mama Rose in Gypsy. Maybe even better than Audra.

^^ SACRILEGE ! !

Yes, nepo baby is uniquely American, because other countries in the world are so welcoming and equal opportunity for all people, regardless of their parents' wealth or connections.

"Nepo baby" has become a tiresome DL trope.

Sounds like Rich Daddy and Mommy's Perfect Child is not having a good day @ r178

R178 = Apple Martin

Silly move on her part and reeking of desperation.

Unlike most here, i think she actually is a good actress. She is (partially) responsible for the success of the show and has kept the increasingly awful Carrie character afloat. Pity she doesn’t realize that and attempts to do other things.

The legacy reference is insufferable, that ship has sailed. And legacy for what? Narcissism, inappropriate clothing and constant whinig? Just give it a rest, Sarah.

[quote] Yes, nepo baby is uniquely American, because other countries in the world are so welcoming and equal opportunity for all people, regardless of their parents' wealth or connections.

R177 I was referring to the name being uniquely American because Americans can no longer pronounce words in their entirety anymore and always have to annoyingly abbreviate everything. This habit has seemingly replaced actual wit. “Nepo” instead of Nepotism. It’s so dumb. Words are no longer words - just grunts.

You sound fun r182

R77- FAG

R178- I like Nepo Baby in a sentence. For example-

Mamdani is a Nepo Baby and a Man Child 👦 .

R169- The wives of Brad Pitt and Matthew Broderick have one thing in common-

They are or were both married to HOMOS

I can't believe they were all making over a million bucks each on the series. Sarah, Cynthia, Kristin according to Daily Variety.

Per episode, I would assume, r187?

SJP is so iconic.

Moral of the story----->>> The person you treated like shit years ago might just get the last laugh in 2025.

I love her son's face. His chin makes him look British.

He looks as horsey as his mother.

I can't stand cunts who insist upon you calling them by two names - it's greedy. It's Sarah, or SJ if you must, but insisting people call her Sarah Jessica is an exercise in vanity. She's making people devote extra oxygen and time to her name, as though she's some kind of fucking deity.

I used to really like her but I honestly don't have a lot of respect left for Sarah Jessica Parker now. She's just too much and trying to keep extending the life of SATC as if she can't function without it as she enters into her elderly cryptkeeper phase of life is just too much.

At this point, SJP and Carrie Bradshaw have morphed into the grotesque monstrosity we see at the end of “The Substance”. I don’t even know who SJP is—and I don’t think she does either.

R193 there was probably already a Sarah Parker in the Union. That is usually the reason someone uses their middle name. There can’t be two actors I. The union either the same name. So professionally she goes by Sarah Jessica. Much like a Mary Louise Parker.

That's a very good point R195.

R195- Like Faye Dunaway and Joan Crawford

And Sarah Michelle Geller.

I remember a joke made on Will and Grace about this very thing. 😛

She’s ornery…don’t get too close or she’ll kick ya…

HBO told me about the show cancellation on a POST-IT!!

"I'll never stop churning out SATC dreck!" vows aged TV star.

R201- They cancelled And Just Like That ultimately because SJP refused to wear a SCRUNCHY.

She’s delusional. Describes the show a successful.

She needs therapy.

She can always go back to selling shoes.

Maybe she’ll be like The Brady Bunch and have a variety show. Any ideas DL.

They should do a Saturday morning cartoon. They could ride around the country in a van solving mysteries. They can find someone to do Samantha's voice if Kim Cattrall is still a no.

[quote] They should do a Saturday morning cartoon.

Co-starring Moptop, and Ping and Pong, the pandas!

She's an old lady now and needs to get over herself.

I don’t know why Kim Catrall is so fucking salty. Like I understand SJP may have did some petty stuff but this show was never presented as an ensemble show. It was always a lead with supporting best friends. SJP was the biggest star, amongst the gals, at the time and also was instrumental in the show’s development. No Im not saying she created it. Even narratively, they were core supporting stars sure, but their stories never trumped Carries. I think Catrall is upset about other things compounded by her brother’s death. All I know is that show she came out with on Netflix is one of the of WORST SHOWS OF ALL TIME.

Horsey looks good on a man, R191. And the rest of his features are way prettier than mom's.

SJP would have been fantastic in the upcoming Murder She Wrote reboot that JLC is doing.

What about infomercials?

[quote] I love her son's face. His chin makes him look British.

Stereotypical Brits are famously chinless wonders.

R152- Yes. He's VERY discreet when every he gets a hot , well hung, muscular top prostitute to fuck him up the ass.

Here she is on stage a year before she became Carrie:

[quote] SJP would have been fantastic in the upcoming Murder She Wrote reboot that JLC is doing

That’s a really good point.

She would do well to option herself a cosy mystery series for herself and produce them for one of the streamers.

You guys keep bringing up Carrie Diaries.

That series is not canon. Everyone involved with SATC has said CD is not canon

“Why would you stop doing something that’s successful?”

She plans on reviving this franchise again at some point.

I know it's been said on other AJLT threads, but Divorce (also on HBO) was the superior show. I really liked it and was sad it was as short-lived as it was. SJP wasn't playing Carrie, Thomas Haden Church was great in it, so was Molly Shannon. I loved SJP's fashions and the whole upstate NY theme of the show.

Who the fuck keeps bringing up Jennifer Aniston?

SJP and Aniston have worked since young. One was born into the industry while the other wasn’t. Aniston struck gold with Friends which made her a household name but SJP was already known. SATC was a vehicle for her and took off but it wasn’t her first success. It has made her a lot of money.

Aniston also had HIT MOVIES under her belt. Her name has carried films to success while SJPs hasn’t.

SJP was 32 when SATC started. Not mid to late 30s.

Omg they have season 1 and 2 on dvd?! Guess who just placed an order

Rumors had it that she was up for the lead in "Secretariat". And the remake of "National Velvet."

I always loved this song about her...

[quote]“Why would you stop doing something that’s successful?”

This shit show wasn't successful you dumb ho

SJP is too precious. Ugh.

R221 That video gave me a headache. SJP's comments always seem.like word salad to me. She says a lot but I never know what the hell she is trying to say.

R218 I could only take about 30 seconds of that. I want those 30 seconds back.

[quote] Omg they have season 1 and 2 on dvd?! Guess who just placed an order

Che Diaz?

Every non- SATC project she’s done has been awful, save for the underrated THE FAMILY STONE. Although that was pretty much an ensemble effort.

R232 what about Hocus Pocus and HC 2, LA Story, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks, and the original Footloose? Those are all well loved films and great. The Family Stone is wonderful, true. I stand by my assessment of Divorce as well.

SJP was in about four minutes of Ed Wood.

R233 most of those are before SATC.

R235 true... but the point is she did and does have talent and can do roles other than Carrie-types.

R222 - SJP’s agent or publicist.

What I do admire is her refusal to get a nose job. Can you imagine the pressure she was under?

A drastic nose job wouldn’t improve her facial look/features. It would be a small nose on a big face/long head

Also, I’d bet my next paycheck she had her nose refined at least once

R232: Nothing under-rated. The Family Stone is terrible and she's the most annoying thing in it.

[quote] Omg they have season 1 and 2 on dvd?! Guess who just placed an order

Lindsey Graham??

God she is desperate

[quote] A drastic nose job wouldn’t improve her facial look/features. It would be a small nose on a big face/long head

Like the Willis girls.

[quote] What I do admire is her refusal to get a nose job. Can you imagine the pressure she was under?

The pressure she’s still under when sleeping on her back. Have you seen the size that thing has grown to?

They never should have gotten rid of Che. Downhill ever since.

R245 = Che Diaz.

I liked Sarah in Footloose. That's it.

Honestly, the only thing I’ve seen her in is her small role in MARS ATTACKS. Which anyone could have played.

Correction: I did see her in Season 1 of DIVORCE and I liked that quite a bit. But she’s not generally my kind of performer. For whatever reason.

She looks like Patti LuPone here (?)

I've posted this here before, but if you want to see SJP in a really good mini-series (which actually got picked up as a series), watch A Year in the Life. It's great. You can watch it free on YouTube.

Does she plan an annoying person in it, or a normal one?

^^ what I mean is, she seems to often specialize in annoying characters (L.A.Story, Mars Attacks, Sex and the City)

I think the best thing for her is to move on to something else.

Carrie was an iconic character, but she’s kind of been run into the ground and exposed as a shallow, empty shell of a person.

Sarah needs to build new associations.

[quote]I think they should do another movie where the go to Scandinavia and meet hot, Nordic men in the winter.

Abba-Dålby-Du!

Maybe she can play the repressed Miss Bolton in a revival of The Innocents.

She played Flora as a tot.

She and CN could start in a reboot of Grey Gardens with CN as Big Edie, and she as Little Edie. She could Miss Havisham her Carrie clothes to make them all musty and mothballed, wear headscarves, and voila! Little Edie is born.

I have an idea for a spin-off:

A new series based on Bitsy von Muffling‘s kid.

AJLT could have run a lot longer in my opinion if: (1) Big had already been dead for a long time prior to Season 1, and Carrie had already more or less gotten past his death, (2) Miranda’s first dive into her new lesbian life wasn’t with that truly awful Che, and (3) there was only one new friend, Lisa, who was either divorced or a widow, so we could have seen her navigating the dating scene. It also could have been to see Anthony dating instead of putting him in that ridiculous relationship with a guy young enough to be his son who, in real life, wouldn’t give him a second glance.

Surely a therapist would advise her that she’s overly enmeshed with this property?

She needs an intervention.

At least when she was younger, she could pull off the jolie laide (sp?) because she was youthful and playful and had a great figure and could wear anything. I thought she was cute in LA STORY with Steve Martin.

She does kind of bug me somewhat, but I do respect how she’s an outspoken advocate for public libraries. Maybe she could do a new series where her character works in a library…but I don’t know if this point she could play a character without access to designer shoes and clothes.

There was nothing but negative buzz for this show. Even the old adage "any press is good press" did not work for this clunker.

Even the Golden Globes rejected this show!

Maybe SJP has burned her bridge with HBO and we won’t have to suffer through previews for terrible shows.

Not from her anymore at least.

She was passably cute when she was young and looked great in some of her earlier roles (LA Story, First Wives Club) but she smoked her looks away.

She needs to go back to Broadway. Equus seems like the ideal vehicle.

[quote]she smoked her looks away.

That must have taken at least half a pack.

Gloria Swanson was a very good soprano.

SJP was good in the Strangers with Candy movie.

She’s modeling her career after Lucille Ball. She’ll be trying to play the same character when she’s 80.

And Matthew is tired of trying to talk her out of it!

I mean, does she need the money? The desire some people have to work until they drop dead is foreign to me.

With her money, she could be traveling, doing all sorts of learning / enrichment activities.

I’d buy an English cottage and do a fabulous garden

The plots should expand. Zombies, aliens, and similar creatures should be introduced. She could become a "Barbarella" type character.

R269, he’s probably too busy with his face buried between some twink’s buttocks to say anything.

You for all the bitchy bullshit I have read, I want to say: let Carrie live on. I was big fan of the series " Just Like That". They were more mature, adult and middle - aged. It wasn't about sex all the time, and I like the way SJP has aged as an actress and person. We are the same age, and a great many issues that were brought up on the show I can relate to: having a love of your life come back later in life, the maturing of relationships with your siblings- (those women are sisters), how you look at yourself( what to keep, throw away, and what is still debatable), having teenage children, having gay friends that are not like you as you age but still bring it to the conversation at all points, and finding out if being " on your own" is wise, natural, progressive or just a harsh reality you learn to live with. I was happy not to see Sam's tits, or watch Miranda destroy another man, or watch Char's fantasy reality overwhelm her common sense. When she sees her daughter dressed up as a girl for the play there were a million mothers who understood that feeling. The new show was full of feelings. And they still dressed like a fashion show. i didn't love everything about it but I didn't expect to. But I liked the idea of seeing characters i liked age well. Carrie can be on television until she is 80 for all I care.

Mature? Carrie and company were so infantile.

Like Molly Ringwald, SJP had a nice long run selling the fantasy to average looking women that they too can have the hottest, most desirable men falling at their feet.

Can we have a series on Bitsy? She really grew on me.

The Bitsy Diaries?

With a Nathan Lane Cameo if absolutely necessary.

Sarah Jessica Parker needs to team up with Mindy Cohn and do the female Odd Couple.

Or Legends.

Or Whatever Happened To Baby Jane.

I like the idea of Carrie Bradshaw doing a show entirely by herself. She could be an astronaut and be shot into space to work on the moon, just like in the 2009 Duncan Jones movie "Moon" with Sam Rockwell. She could talk to robots all the time she's on the moon station about how much she misses buying shoes on Earth, but how she's feeling strong because she's now married herself and is now her own best friend.

Or she could just go away.

[quote]Sarah Jessica Parker needs to team up with Mindy Cohn and do the female Odd Couple. Or Legends. en I

Because when I think of a Legend, I think of Mindy Cohn.

R280, Moose Murders would like a word.

[quote]Because when I think of a Legend, I think of Mindy Cohn.

How many other sitcom actresses would play a storyline about being raped while dressed as Charlie Chaplin? She was brave! She is a legend!

There are going to be some gay cards taken away for no suggestion yet of SJP next doing a remake of Golden Girls.

SJP could do a re-make of The Golden Girls!!

She already did not outgrew it.

I’ve heard her snout is in therapy

Can’t she figure out how to do anything or to be anybody else??

[quote] Maybe she could do a new series where her character works in a library

She and Parker Posey could do a workplace series that is a sequel to Party Girl.

Just give her a few sugar cubes and see how much she cheers up!

She needs to get over herself. No one is interested.

Add me to those who'd rather see SJP do the Murder, She Wrote reboot over JLC. Jessica Fletcher was warm and cozy, two attributes I would never use to describe Jamie Lee Curtis.

Jessica Lange and Sarah Jessica Parker star in the new Broadway musical “Side Show: After the Fame!”

Conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton have quit the circus and taken jobs in a grocery store. Violet runs the cash register and Daisy packs the groceries.

Who will love them as they are? Call Tele-Charge today!

SJP as Jessica Fletcher would be too busy trying on shoes and being pursued by every handsome young stud in town to solve any murders

R280 and R282- It comes down to this with Mindy Cohn-

We LOVE our GREAT BIG FAT PERSON

I think she would be well suited to a series of cosy mysteries adapted for Hulu or Netflix or (gulp) GAC.

[quote]R286 I’ve heard her snout is in therapy

Isn’t it a muzzle?

(Or does it GET muzzled?)

I hate to say it but I would like to know what happens to Carrie, Berger, Smith , Skipper, the hot criminal Stockbroker, etc. in the future.

Felicia Montealegre Cohn>Mindy Cohn

R297,

Add Euro trash queen Amalita to the list. What happened to her once her youth faded and pussy dried up?

[quote]She loves the free clothes

The ones she wore this time were hideous.

Has she tried calling the Hallmark Channel? She could play the mother or grandmother of one of the leads in their movies,

In the new Murder She Wrote reboot, Jamie Lee Curtis' character will take out her dick and slap a confession out of the suspect at the end of each episode.

Let's be real. The original show was a hit because of Samantha. Trying to make this rebooted shitfest without her was always going to be a fail.

Knowing what SJP and MPK had planned for her character, KC wisely skipped that shit fest

I'd like to know how Friar Fuck is faring.

^ He is MAGA.

Surely there’s room in the Hollywood pantheon for one more bitter, old, failed actress character. Kind of like Angela Lansbury as an aged, sloshed It Girl in “Death on the Nile.”

Can’t she play something like that?

Allegedly she’s desperately trying to get a Carrie solo show picked up

She is delusional.

Can no one in this industry retire gracefully?

The writers, show runner and MPK ruined the reboot

Add in Cynthia Nixon narcissism and Che Diaz obnoxious character and it was doomed.

While Kristen Davis is a one note actor, she tried to stay true to her original character.

Plus, they did Big wrong. I think I read he didn’t want to do the show, but still.

I thought Noth was forced out by the producers because of his alleged sexual misconduct?

I thought Noth's me-too stuff came out after they'd already filmed his death and the whole first season but I could be wrong.

R311 you read right. Chris Noth declined the revival originally. They ended up getting him by promising him they would kill him off so he can never be asked back again.

In the third movie script that never happened he was supposed to die, again, at Noth’s request.

R313 correct. That stuff came out after the revival premiered. The show was long filmed by that point.

She's also taking the news that her husband Matthew is a CONNOISSEUR OF COCK hard.

[quote] he was supposed to die, again

I have sufficient.

She'll get another successful show soon. It's only a matter of time. AJLT had better ratings than The Morning Show, starring her peers Aniston and Witherspoon.

They’re on different platforms. A lot more people have HBO Max than Apple TV+

SJP is an executive producer* for the 2025 documentary [bold] The Librarians [/bold] . The trailer looks good.

From IMDb:

The Librarians (2025)

[Quote] Librarians unite to combat book banning, defending intellectual freedom on democracy's frontlines amid unprecedented censorship in Texas, Florida, and beyond.

* one of 25 executive producers, plus other producer types, are listed for this project on IMDb

I hate to admit to this. I started to rewatch AJLT from season one.

Re-hate watch , but still.

I miss the girls.

Yet all you did was cry every week. The show wasn’t even that bad

We didn’t realize what a pearl we’d cast away[bold] : o

I want Sarah to do an Oscar-bait movie next. She's due for an Oscar nomination.

No she isn’t

She better wear her lucky horseshoes.

SJP should have gotten an Oscar nom for The Family Stone.

Yeah, Big was never coming back. Kristen's not a very good actress and they didn't know what to do with her character. Chaz is long gone, there have been any number of other problems, including the increasingly infantile behavior of Nixon's charcater.

R327: Surely you jest--a tiresome movie and she was a big part of that.

They packed in too many POCs to make up for the perceived shortcomings of SATC.

I actually liked the Columbia professor but could not stand Lisa Wexley Whatsherface and her ilk.

I did warm up to Seema eventually. She had more depth and was a tad more realistic than Samantha.

I am rewatching it now. It actually a pretty good portrayal of the Zeitgeist of the early 2020s with al the usual set pieces packed in (cultural appropriation, white savior, misgendering etc.). If you don't take it too seriously it's quite amusing.

More!

SJP's ego ruined the show
