Page Six reports that Sex and the City 3 is officially a no-go. Sarah Jessica Parker was recently asked about it, and here's what she had to say: “It’s over … we’re not doing it. I’m disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that experience. But more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie.”
The Daily Mail reported that negotiations broke down over Kim Cattrall's alleged demands that producers back her other film projects.

Blind Gossip Exclusive Blind Item - Dating Her Featured Artist
If you are a fan of this very famous female singer, you are going to want to hear about her secret relationship with another singer!
Our girl was working on a recording in a studio last year. The recording featured another famous singer. Our Girl and Featured Artist got along well.
VERY well, in fact.
"They were making out in a corner of the studio between sessions. They were trying to be subtle about it, but everyone saw them. Nobody made a big deal of it. They obviously liked each other and were having fun."
If you are thinking that there is a twist coming in this story, you are on the right track!
The other featured artist? Female!
Both women have men in their lives. We don’t know if Our Girl’s current relationship is real or an illusion, but, hey, she clearly has no problem dating a woman if she thinks she can keep it secret!
So, what happened to the relationship between the two female singers? Did it continue after they finished working together?
Yes!
"They continued dating for a couple of months after, and were traveling to see each other, but then they started fighting and broke up. [Our Girl] was really unhappy with the way it ended. That’s why she didn’t do a lot to promote their song after it was released."
Guess this means that we should not expect to see these two artists team up again or perform together in the future!

Miley Cyrus Gets Political
Miley Cyrus recently sat down for an interview with NME ahead of the release of her new album Younger Now. Here's what she had to say:
On saying prior to the election that she would move if Trump were elected:
"I didn't leave the country. I'm not fucking leaving the country, that's some ignorant shit, that's dumb. Because that's me abandoning my country when I think I've got a good thing to say to my country. And trust me, I hear every day on my Instagram, 'Just leave already! When are you going to leave?' Well, that's not going to be any good. Does it really matter where I am? Because wherever I am, my fucking voice is gonna be heard, and I'll make sure of it."
On the new song Rainbowland, which she wrote with her godmother Dolly Parton:
"Yep, and it's also very political. One line is such a Dolly lyric – it says, 'We are rainbows, me and you / Every colour, every hue'. And it's about all these different races and genders and religions, if we all did come together to create and said, 'Hey, we're different, that's awesome, let's not change to be the same, let's stay different but let's come together anyway.' Because a rainbow's not a rainbow without all the different colours."
On Wrecking Ball:
"You know, I should fucking be grateful every fucking day for that song, and I am. I think people look at things that they've done and there is this sense of shame, or 'I wish I wouldn't have done that' – not because I'm naked, by the way; it's because I feel like I'm in a deeper songwriting place… Lyrically I'm less impressed with that song for me right now. I feel like it doesn't reflect who I am now, but that's fine because it's not supposed to… I'm sure I'll say the same thing about this record at some point."
On the sound of her new album:
"[Singles] ;Malibu' and 'Younger Now' are obviously two fucking very different visuals in a way, but what binds them together is that they are both me. For Bangerz I was so one way, I was so 'This is who I am, there's nothing that's gonna change it', and you know, I did that on [Miley Cyrus & Her] Dead Petz too. Now, I think I have more of an open mind where I'm like, 'OK, I can be a bunch of different things every day', I don't have to be so locked into myself because then I'm putting those walls and borders around myself that I tell everyone else not to give in to."
On what her new album represents:
"I got to normalise it a little bit more. I did it in a less aggressive way where it was subliminally allowing all audiences to be a part of it and enjoy it. From the outside, like you said,…Dead Petz wasn't a record for everyone… I think it ended up shutting some doors in the way of people making themselves less mentally available to listen. They think, 'I'm already pissed off so I'm not listening to that, she's crazy'. In a way, Younger Now is really about ageism and sexism too because I feel like as women get older it's so hard, and I'm watching Madonna do it with such grace and such style and people still attack her… People just want to talk about how she shouldn't do a fucking cartwheel at the Super Bowl and it's like, why? Why can't you still wear a grill, why can't you still be a part of pop culture?"

Margot Robbie Talks Self-Doubt
Margot Robbie recently sat down for an interview with Wonderland Magazine. Here's what he had to say:
"When I was playing Naomi in The Wolf Of Wolf Street, it was so high-tempo sexy. I was acutely aware that the line in the screenplay was 'the hottest blonde ever' – I'm clearly not the hottest blonde ever. I was just terrified that people would see the movie and think: 'Eugh! She's not that great'."
On critics:
"All the reading, all the acting coaching, and then someone reviews the movie or interviews you and all they do is focus on the aesthetics. You think: "Fuck you. You've totally discredited the work I did and it's not fair!'"
On playing Tonya Harding:
"I thought I wasn't too bad at ice skating – I used to play ice hockey. I soon realised that I'd just been running on ice, and now there was no padding. My alarm would go off at 5.30am and I'd want to cry. Sometimes after sessions I'd get back into the car and weep."

Ina Garten Hates Cooking Shows
Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, recently sat down for an interview with People. Here's what she had to say when asked if she watches cooking shows:
“I never watch cooking shows, certainly not mine. Not a chance. I would never do another show. I think I’m terrible! I’m glad other people like it, that’s all I can say.”
On husband Jeffrey's unwavering support:
“He’s a great audience because whatever I serve, he says, ‘That’s the best thing I’ve ever had!’ Which is why I love to cook for him! I think he really means it at the moment but then the next time, it’s something else.”
On her most requested dish being roast chicken:
“It’s such a basic comfort dinner and it’s so delicious and so easy to make. I think when people come over to a cook’s house, they expect some fancy meal and when you’ve made a roast chicken they’re just thrilled.”
On her favorite recipe:
“My favorite recipe that I’ve ever done was a French apple tart, which is just a really thin pastry crust, sliced apples and little glaze when it comes out of the oven. It’s like butter and sugar and caramelized apples—so simple and so sophisticated at the same time. I’m sure my friends are going, ‘Oh no, not that again!'”

James Cameron is Still Talking Shit About Wonder Woman
Earlier this summer, James Cameron had this to say about Wonder Woman: “All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided. She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards. Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit. And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious. I mean, half the audience is female!”
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins responded to Cameron's remarks on her Twitter, stating: "James Cameron's inability to understand what Wonder Woman is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman. Strong women are great. His praise of my film Monster, and our portrayal of a strong yet damaged woman was so appreciated. But if women have to always be hard, tough and troubled to be strong, and we aren't free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven't come very far have we. I believe women can and should be EVERYTHING just like male lead characters should be. There is no right and wrong kind of powerful woman. And the massive female audience who made the film a hit it is, can surely choose and judge their own icons of progress."
James Cameron recently sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he thought it would be a great idea to talk more shit about Wonder Woman. Here's what he had to say this time:
Well, you opened the door for the inevitable Wonder Woman question, so … you recently said in this summer's film, Gal Gadot was playing an "objectified icon."
"Yes, I'll stand by that. I mean, she was Miss Israel, and she was wearing a kind of bustier costume that was very form-fitting. She's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. To me, that's not breaking ground. They had Raquel Welch doing stuff like that in the '60s. It was all in a context of talking about why Sarah Connor — what Linda created in 1991 — was, if not ahead of its time, at least a breakthrough in its time. I don't think it was really ahead of its time because we're still not [giving women these types of roles]."
Director Patty Jenkins responded by saying not every woman character has to look "hard, troubled and tough to be strong."
"Linda looked great. She just wasn't treated as a sex object. There was nothing sexual about her character. It was about angst, it was about will, it was about determination. She was crazy, she was complicated. … She wasn't there to be liked or ogled, but she was central, and the audience loved her by the end of the film. So as much as I applaud Patty directing the film and Hollywood, uh, "letting" a woman direct a major action franchise, I didn't think there was anything groundbreaking in Wonder Woman. I thought it was a good film. Period. I was certainly shocked that [my comment] was a controversial statement. It was pretty obvious in my mind. I just think Hollywood doesn't get it about women in commercial franchises. Drama, they've got that cracked, but the second they start to make a big commercial action film, they think they have to appeal to 18-year-old males or 14-year-old males, whatever it is. Look, it was probably a little bit of a simplistic remark on my part, and I'm not walking it back, but I will add a little detail to it, which is: I like the fact that, sexually, she had the upper hand with the male character, which I thought was fun."
Read the rest of the interview, including answers to whether or not he will ever finish another Avatar movie, at The Hollywood Reporter.

A famous NFL athlete wants to tell a stadium packed with fans to come together and be unified with his team’s protests. One of his teammates disagrees.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck. Love my team, love the guy, but man, this is some seriously stupid shit. Plus dude’s a fucking hypocrite! He won’t even talk to his own family but he wants us to lecture our fans on the importance of unity and tell them what to do? Ha ha ha. Try linking arms with your own parents first. But seriously, I’m sick of this shit. I wish everyone would just STFU and play ball."
Roger that, big fella.

Beauty Tips from Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones recently sat down for an interview with W Magazine, where she shared some of her beauty tips. Here's what she had to say:
Your look in three words:
"Modern, classic, vintage."
Best advice from your dermatologist:
"Don't forget to check your whole body for new and different shape freckles, not just your face, but the bits you don't look at every day."
Best advice from your facialist:
"Don't pick!!!"
Makeup miracles:
"Eyelash curler, Kevyn Aucoin Brunette Brow Pencil, Kevyn Aucoin dark green eyeliner, Tom Ford Illuminating Powder Translucent #01, MAC Spice Lip Liner. These are my skincare favorites: Rhonda Allison's Pumpkin E Serum, Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial, Methode Physiodermie Soft Face Biopeeling."
Never leave the house without:
"Small Mason Pearson hair brush, Charlotte Tilbury mascara, MAC Spice Lip Liner, Marc Jacobs Slow Burn lip color, Clé de Peau Intensive Eye Contour Cream and the foundation. That's all for now, because the truth is nothing can be done properly in five minutes."
Beauty from the inside out:
"Water, maintaining my PH balance, no alcohol and through diet keeping my body free of any inflammation inside and out."
Drink of choice:
"Cold press juice and Kombucha."
A woman should smell like:
"That she is wearing the fragrance, the fragrance is not wearing her."
Best advice from mom:
"Since I was a child she told me "Always look your best because you never know when you could meet the President of the United States!" She must have been talking about Kennedy."

We aren't good together, maybe we'll better to each other when we are divorced and are friends. But right now we are both miserable and it's not good for either one of us, let alone our daughter.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Look At Me Parent
It is interesting that you rarely saw this singer/actor couple with their child/ren.
Until now.
Since announcing their divorce, you can’t get away from daily photos of them acting like the perfect parents!
It’s all part of a PR battle.
"They both have serious dirt on each other (drugs/cheating) that they are worried will come out, so this is a PR battle to out-good-parent the other in the court of public opinion. Both of them call the paparazzi when they are ready to take [the kid/s] somewhere. Seriously, they should just wear a sign, “Look at me being a good parent!”
[The kid/s are] probably wondering where the hell Mom and Dad have been for the past few years and why they are both suddenly so damn attentive…"
For bonus points, perhaps one of them could drag the child/ren to church like that other celebrity parent?
