Kim Cattrall: Let's Make Another Sex Movie
Kim Cattrall has revealed that she's keen to reprise her role of Samantha Jones in another 'Sex and the City' movie, if the filmmakers are up for it.
The four stars of the show strutted the red carpet of the New York premiere of the movie at Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday night (May 27).
Speaking with U.S. tv show 'Extra', Cattrall revealed, "The audience is so happy to see the girls back. It was a blast to make and I hope we get to come back and make another."
Cattrall was believed to be the reason the big screen version of the movie took so long to be made, after she reportedly asked for more money.
Sarah Jessica Parker defended her co-star saying, "If I had thought it was any of my business at the time, what I would have said is, 'Isn't it okay for Kim to think the money wasn't right?'"
“Perhaps [Kim] was some kind of emotional psychic, because this way we made a better movie," she confesses.

Sheen's Cheap Suit
Newlywed Charlie Sheen got married in a cheap suit from a discount store. Rather than pick an expensive designer to create a fancy outfit for his wedding to Brooke Mueller on Friday , took a trip to the Men's Wearhouse near his Los Angeles home. The most expensive suit at the store is $599.99 (?300) - a bargain for the wealthy Two And A Half Men star. Sheen explains, "I like their commercials a lot. "I got tired of $3,000 suits falling apart in the middle of certain events. I didn't wear a tux because they're hot and they don't breathe."

Joan Jett: 'I Don't Understand Why Britney Spears Covered My Song'
Rocker Joan Jett says she has never understood why Britney Spears covered her hit song, I Love Rock 'N' Roll' -- and doubts the singer even likes rock music.
Jett, who originally released the song in 1982, said, "I've never even heard Britney's version. I mean, I've obviously heard about it, but I never understood that whole idea."
She added, "I mean, people usually cover a song that says something about them, but I doubt she loves rock 'n' roll. Maybe she likes songs."
Jett, 49, also spoke about Madonna -- also 49 -- and the criticism she has received because of her age.
She explains, "She's criticized because people are scared, you know? I mean, a man can be 49, be sexy, have a full career, but no one tells him to shut his legs. But Madonna...she's at a point where she's going to be changing things. Because in this world, the Western world, all the baby-boomers are getting older, and if we want to stay in touch with our sexuality, it's up to women like her to grab it.
"It's up to us to say yes, I am sexy with wrinkles, I am sexy with extra weight. We have to fight against this photoshopped, airbrushed sexuality too � we all get that, but we have to say that age doesn't defy sex.
"I mean, look at the 1940s: movie actresses had long careers then and were sexy, so why have things changed? I know why: because the 'put you up, tear you down' culture hadn't kicked in then � but it has now. So these days, more than anything, it's important for women to fight for themselves."

Sex and the City Sells At U.S. Box Office
Kenny Chesney takes ACM's top prize
Kenny Chesney [ tickets ], an 11-time nominee at the 43rd Academy of Country Music Awards, won his fourth consecutive Entertainer of the Year prize Sunday (5/18) in Las Vegas. "This one is really extra special because long before I had a hit record, the fans always came to my show, and I want to thank you guys for voting and being there for me," Chesney said. This is the first year the fans voted for the Entertainer of the Year award. However, according to the Associated Press, Chesney, while backstage during the ceremony, criticized the ACM for handling it that way. "The Entertainer of the Year trophy is supposed to represent heart and passion and an amazing amount of sacrifice, commitment and focus," he said. "That's the way Garth [Brooks] won it four times, that's the way I won it, that's the way [George] Strait won it, Reba [McEntire], Alabama all those years. That's what it's supposed to represent."For the rest of the awards, the ACM stuck with tradition and required its members to vote. Entertainer of the Year was one of two awards Chesney took home Sunday; the other was Vocal Event of the Year for "Find Out Who Your Friends Are," a song he recorded with Tracy Lawrence and Tim McGraw.Sugarland was another multiple-award winner. The band's acoustic ballad "Stay" won the Single Record of the Year prize, the first award of the night."Thanks everybody for believing in a song that's almost a five-minute acoustic song," Kristian Bush said, with partner Jennifer Nettles at his side. Later in the night, they debuted their new single, "All I Wanna Do." The ACM also named "Stay" the Song of the Year. "It means so much to me that you guys really relate to this song and you just accepted it," Nettles said.Brad Paisley took home a pair of ACMs, one for Top Male Vocalist and the other for Video of the Year for the Jason Alexander-directed "Online."Garth Brooks came out of semi-retirement to perform a medley of his hits and to accept the Crystal Milestone Award. During his thank-you speech, he slipped and called host Reba McEntire, "Miss Yearwood." He is married to fellow singer Trisha Yearwood.Other winners included Carrie Underwood for Top Female Vocalist, and Jack Ingram, who, despite being in the business since 1992, was ironically honored with Top New Male Vocalist."It's been a long road," he said. "... Dreams come true, man. Never give up."Lady Antebellum, featuring singer-songwriter Josh Kelley's brother Charles, took home Top New Duo or Vocal Group. The band was up against Carolina Rain and Michelle Branch's The Wreckers."Does this mean we get to hang out with Kenny Chesney now?" Kelley said. Top New Female Vocalist went to 18-year-old Taylor Swift, who beat out Sarah Buxton and former "American Idol" contestant Kellie Pickler. In a speech that nearly brought her to tears, Swift thanked only one person: her mom, whom, she said, gave up her favorite activities to go out on tour with her then-16-year-old daughter. The three-hour show was heavy on performances. Reigning Top Female Vocalist Carrie Underwood kicked off the event with a performance of her rock-inspired song "Last Name." Toby Keith quickly followed suit, singing his hit "She's a Hottie." Former "Seinfeld" actor Alexander introduced Paisley, who perfomed "I'm Still a Guy.""I feel just a little bit underdressed," Alexander said. "My 'Bedazzler' broke in the [dressing] room and there's rhinestones all over the room."Also on stage were Miranda Lambert, whose "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" was honored with Album of the Year; Rodney Atkins, who did a medley of hits; Kenny Chesney, who was without nary a limp after an onstage run-in last month with an elevator; and George Strait, who laid out his 56th No. 1 hit, "I Saw God Today."Swift performed "Should've Said No," and Brooks and Dunn sang "Put a Girl in It."Strapped with acoustic guitars, Strait and Chesney returned to the stage to perform the Calypso-inspired "Shiftwork." Keith Urban performed "Tu Compania" acoustically from the audience. McEntire hosted the event for the 10th time since 1986. The awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and aired on CBS-TV.Entertainer of the YearKenny ChesneyTop Male VocalistBrad PaisleyTop Female VocalistCarrie UnderwoodTop Vocal GroupRascal FlattsTop Vocal DuoBrooks and DunnTop New Male VocalistJack IngramTop New Female VocalistTaylor SwiftTop New Duo or Vocal GroupLady AntebellumAlbum of the Year"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," Miranda LambertSingle Record of the Year"Stay," SugarlandSong of the Year"Stay," SugarlandVideo of the Year"Online," Brad PaisleyVocal Event of the Year"Find Out Who Your Friends Are," Tracy Lawrence with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney
Marco Pierre White Dating Nancy Dell'Olio
TV chef Marco Pierre White is dating Sven-Goran Eriksson's ex Nancy Dell'Olio, it was claimed today.
The pair are said to be good friends, and when Dell'Olio split from Sven for a second time, Pierre White -- whose second wife is divorcing him -- offered a shoulder to cry on.
She ran up huge phone bills phoning the explosive chef from her home in Italy and their friendship started simmering.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Marco and Nancy initially went out for dinner nearly a year ago - but just as friends.
"At that time he was all over her like a cheap suit and Nancy was quite indifferent. But they met up recently and had a couple more dates - one of which ended in a passionate kiss.
"Marco has a weakness for strong, independent women and Nancy fits the bill.
"It is early days but it is fair to say they have a growing friendship."
The couple have not seen each other for the past two weeks as Marco is working in the US. But they have been sending each other text messages and phoning daily.

OneRepublic Recruit Chris Cornell For 'Say (All I Need)' Video
Before last week's "American Idol" finale, where they took the stage at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live to perform their hit song "Apologize" alongside 17-year-old David Archuleta, the guys in OneRepublic didn't count themselves among the "Idol" faithful. In fact, they only started paying attention to the televised talent competition the previous week, when they found out they'd be appearing on one of the highest-rated programs of 2008.
"We were in London last week, and we got a call right before we came back to the States saying, 'You're not going to believe this, but you're playing the "American Idol" finale,' " recalled frontman Ryan Tedder, who hobbled his way down the "Idol" red carpet on crutches, having torn his Achilles tendon ("I was on the beach, and these baby seals were getting clubbed, and I ran up and stopped the clubbing, and they clubbed me," he joked).
Tedder, who called his injury "so painful" and one of "the worst things" he'd experienced, said the band just returned from Paris, where they shot a video for their next single from Dreaming Out Loud, "Say (All I Need)." Tedder — who has written songs for Jennifer Lopez, Natasha Bedingfield, Ludacris, Hilary Duff, Timbaland and Jennifer Hudson — revealed that the clip features a grunge icon.
"We have a little cameo in the video: Chris Cornell shows up in the first few frames," he said. "We shot it in the old section of Paris. The song's about living in Los Angeles the last five years, and we were in Europe and wanted to make the video. We've been lucky enough to have as much success overseas as we've had in the States, so we thought, when else are we going to have time to shoot a video in Europe?"
In the clip, the boys are seen wandering the streets of Paris, ending up on a rooftop. The video was shot half in color and half in black and white. "We wanted to make a piece of art and do something beautiful and inspiring," said Tedder, who is now working with Kelly Clarkson. "We've just started promoting it, and it's my favorite track on the record. People who liked 'Apologize' will love it."
In fact, the band asked the "Idol" producers if they could play "Say (All I Need)" during the finale, but it didn't work out. "They wanted us to do 'Apologize,' so it was a bit of a trade-off," Tedder said. "But in the end, we figured, 'Whatever, let's do it.' "

The Killers consider Tyson collaboration
The Killers have revealed that they may collaborate with Mike Tyson at this year's Reading and Leeds festivals.
Tyson met the band in Las Vegas and appeared with them in their 2008 NME Award video acceptance speech earlier this year.
Speaking about their friendship with the former boxer, the band told NME: "We first met him in the Asian quarter of Vegas.
"We were all hoarding the karaoke space. Then in walks Mike Tyson. You could just tell he was up for a bit of karaoke. He just had that look in his eye, y'know?
"So it was kinda love at first sight. Me and Mike did 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' by Whitney Houston, and then afterwards we shared a plate of Asian delicacies. All of that is true."
When asked what they would perform with Tyson, the group said: "A duet on [Joy Division's] 'Shadowplay' would be cool.
"He brought up doing 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', but I don't think it'd work with our band."
