After many back and forth conversations concerning the next step in the Carrie Bradshaw saga, it is official!

The next step is actually one (or two…or thirty) BACK! Back into a time before she could afford all those Jimmy Choos.

The CW has picked up Candace Bushnell's The Carrie Diaries to show audiences what it was like for Carrie during her senior year of high school.

It is also reported that Gossip Girl producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are planning to co-pilot the project.

Ahhh, so is this how Blake Lively will segue from one CW project to the next? After all, Josh has what…6, 7 shows on the air right now? We wouldn't be surprised if he ends Gossip Girl in a year or two right in time for this prequel series to start.

And why didn't HBO want to take this for themselves? Hmm, maybe because the original show's head writer, Michael Patrick King, finds it a bit blasphemous? After all, he did say, "For me the idea of going backward and making her less evolved is something I don't even imagine doing."

Also, it would probably work better on The CW anyways. It brings in a whole new generation of SatC fans, and honestly, how much uncensored sex could teenage Carrie have had anyways? It's not Samantha Jones!!!

Sigh.

We knew it was too good to be true.

We told you about the gossip of Sex and the City returning to TV yesterday, and while we had our skepticism too, we still held on a little bit of hope.

But a rep from

Despite heavy talk of a Sex and the City prequel film, the franchise's head writer and director, Michael Patrick King, told journalists last week:

My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33 and I took her to 40. For me the idea of going backward and making her less evolved…is something I don't even imagine doing. I am sure Candace Bushnell did a great job on them (the books) but I have no connection to a prequel.

But according to some inside sources,

You think going a week without fatty food is tough? Try going 37 years! That's some serious self-control!

During a recent interview, Kim Cattrall opened up about finally ending a 37-year-long diet in order to gain 20 pounds for her role as a retired porn star in her latest film, Meet Monica Velour, saying:

"It was a stretch for me - literally a stretch as I had to gain 20lbs to play this character… it was fantastic! I have been on a diet since 1974 so this was time for me to eat. God I love to eat, chips and crisps and puddings. Oh, it was amazing."

The Sex And The City actress also enjoyed not having to like…well…Samantha Jones from Sex And The City, continuing to explain:

"I had no make up on and my hair was just as I got out of bed. I am known so much for looking just one way - that sort of Barbie doll perfection look that Sex And The City promotes - so it was fantastic for me to get to play a real person."

Welcome to the dark side, Kim! LOLz!

Just kidding, but we're glad you FINALLY got to relax and enjoy some of the best tasting, yet most unhealthy food this world has to offer!

Now we'll be anxiously waiting to hear how you inevitably LOSE all of that movie weight. We know there is more Samantha in you then you'd like to admit! Ha!

Gaining weight for movies is sort of a curse of being a committed actor.

Kim Cattrall plays a washed up porn star in the upcoming flick, Meet Monica Velour, and was asked to gain weight for the role.

Said Kim:

"They asked me to gain 30 but I didn't want to make myself sick. We made a deal saying I would gain 15 lbs before the film and 5 lbs during. But I did enjoy grabbing my stomach and feeling what that extra weight felt like."

Ha!

Knowing Kim, she’s already worked that weight off!

This is possibly for the best!

It's been a wonderful run, but we're ready to say good-bye, if we have to!

Kim Cattrall recently opened up about why she was initially reluctant to sign on to the first Sex & The City movie after the series ended, and also if she thinks Samantha Jones will be returning for a third installment, and unfortunately, signs are not looking good!

She explains:

"I don't know if it will happen. I really, really have no idea. I love playing Samantha Jones. I would love playing Samantha Jones again, but I don't know if I will. Originally I was asked to do the movie with no script, no start date, and a very paltry sum. I thought the three of us should fight for a piece of what we created and that was my reluctance. The four of us were not set for life. We were on cable TV and we were not making nearly what our counterparts in television were making. I thought we were working damn hard and it was the time to negotiate that."

Inneresting to finally hear the reason behind her holding out!

Makes sense to us!

And we certainly will miss our gurl Samantha, if this is actually the end of her!

Whether or not you come back, you ladies will always be in our hearts!

What do U think?? Should a Sex & The City 3 get made?

Seriously. She’s awesome.

Kim Cattrall is doing what very few people are able to do — embracing her body.

She played an aging porn star in the new film, Meet Monica Velour, and bared all during some scenes.

Said Kim:

"I didn't know whether I could do it, because to be that stripped of makeup, clothes, shoes, in Hollywood, you have to be beautiful; you have to be desirable. And that's why so many woman of my age or even younger are pushed to Botox and plastic surgery, all the things that people say, 'Why do women do this?' Where do you go in your 50s in your career?"

Because Kim’s character is a washed-up porn star, she’s very poor in the movie and finds herself in many places with bad lighting — enhancing the wrinkles even more.

"Can you imagine? We make fun of those things, and they're in the culture now. It's like if you're not using Botox, it's like, 'Really, you should do it.' I look at people like Judi Dench, who's in her 70s, and I think, 'What the hell am I frightened of? This is a trailer park [where Monica Velour lives]. There's no beautiful lighting.'"

The subculture of porn is fascinating — can’t wait to check this out!
