Old Sex and the City Scandals Generate New Buzz

Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon in Sex and the City by Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Though he has settled his beef over payment with Candace Bushnell, Clifford Streit, Bushnell's ex-manager — aka the inspiration for Carrie Bradshaw's gay pal — is shopping around Unbecoming Stanford, a tell-all about the HBO hit's early days. Among the book’s revelations, the New York Daily News says, is which of the on-screen couples also hooked up off-screen (a bombshell that promises to have present-day repercussions); why there was so much Sturm und Drang surrounding Kim Cattrall ("A natural comedienne... the camera went right to her"); and which Hollywood hottie Darren Star pegged as having no future (answer: Ashton Kutcher). — Ben Katner Leave a Comment

OK spill it, who had the romance? Was is Carrie and Big? SJP is the only one in the cast who is still with the same partner from the show's days and those are the only repercussions I can see. Kim got divorced. Kristin has never been married and Cynthia is now a lesbian, so I think it must be Sarah Jessica. SPILL IT!

Well he was right in the aspect that Ashton Kutcher has no future as an actor. That boy is bad! I remember reading a comment right here that he said Keanu Reeves isn't a good actor, but his movies sell. Well hello pot calling the kettle black, you are just as bad an actor, if not worse and your movies don't sell like Keanu's. Ashton is much better suited behind the camera!

I read somewhere quite a while back that it was SJP and the guy that played Aiden (sp?)

It could be Chris Noth. He has a partner right now and they're about to have a baby. I don't think it was SJP. She is a little too closed to have an affair. She won't even do Nude scenes....

I don't think it was SJP. She is a little too closed to have an affair. She won't even do Nude scenes.... Thank heavens. It's nice to see a celebrity not take it off frankly.

I read somewhere quite a while back that it was SJP and the guy that played Aiden John Corbett? (aka Chris in the Morning on Northern Exposure) He was looking pretty cute during his SCATC period. But I think SJP and Matthew Broderick are a sweet couple, so I hope that's not the case. Too "closed" because she won't do nude scenes? Please. It's refreshing.

It could be Kim Catral and that woman artist that she had a lesbian affair with...maybe they really were a couple for a while!

I don't mean closed as bad. I mean it as closed. Period. I think its interesting in that it makes her charachter unique, and to be honest...i don't need to see Kim Catrell and her, "assets" again any time soon.

"Among the book’s revelations, the New York Daily News says, is which of the on-screen couples also hooked up offscreen (a bombshell that promises to have present-day repercussions" It could possibly be Samantha and the artist woman that she had a Lesbian affair with..

I hear there was a big fall out between SJP and Kim Catrell that must be what they are referring to Sturm und Drang. SJP was jealous of the attention Kim was getting and thats why Kim didnt want to do the movie at first, not because of money.

cooper2000 - you're aware that Kim Catrell publicly commented on the fact that she was holding out for more money, right? Something along the lines of, it would take a lot of money for me to bring that character back to life. and, even if she never said anything about why she held out, IMO it seems a tad bit ridiculous to say that someone like SJP would get jealous of attention considering she's a brand name.

Maybe Big and Adian hooked up! Now that would rock someone's world! (especially mine...) Charlotte and Big? Miranda and Stanford? Samantha and Steve? Carrie and Enid? (Vogue Editor) Oh the list could go on...

Well considering it said *on screen couple*, some of the possibilities listed here in comments are not viable. I don't think anyone else on the cast are still with partners they had during the show. So I think the only one it could currently affect would be SJP if what they meant by "repercussions" would be CURRENT ones. And I would find that extremely sad for many reasons.

I am sure someone will read the book and the info will become more public before too long.
