6 - Real sparks were flying on the Sex and the City
set when Sarah Jessica Parker and Mikhail
Baryshnikov filmed a kissing scene. (Baryshnikov
plays SJP’s new love interest on the show.) The pair
rehearsed the scene over and over, and once film was rolling,
when the director yelled, “cut”, the two remained
lip locked for what seemed an eternity. Parker was positively
lit up. Watch out Matthew!
Even Whoopi Goldberg is jealous of Sarah
Jessica Parker. At a press conference announcing her upcoming
NBC sitcom, called Whoopi, when asked to open her
top-shirt further so that we could see her t-shirt, Goldberg
said, “I’m not going to open this up. I don’t
have what Sarah Jessica Parker has.” Like SATC, the
series is set in New York City, and Whoopi plays a smoking,
drinking hotelier. Referring to the city’s new smoking
ban, she held up her checkbook and joked with Mayor Mike
Bloomberg that she’s prepared to pay the fines
every time a character smokes on the set. In real life, Whoopi
admitted that she smokes when she’s under tension. She
may be feeling some pressure these days – she’s
the executive producer as well as the star of the show. A
native of the city, Whoopi said, "Honey, when you get
to a certain age, you just want to be near home."
A much younger New Yorker, Lindsay Lohan,
star of the new film Freaky Friday, popped into Macy’s,
where she and Miss USA 2003, Susie Castillo,
hosted a “Freaky Friday mother/daughter fashion show”.
The movie is about a mother and daughter who switch bodies
and lives for one day, so if that happens to you, you can
coordinate your outfits at Macy’s.
