Bummer. MAJOR bummer.

Back in December, we were VERY excited to hear that Goldie Hawn was set to star in Sex & The City creator Darren Star's new HBO pilot The Viagara Diaries.

As we mentioned before, the show is based on Barbara Rose Brooker's book, and it centers around a woman who has been left by her husband during his "mid-life crisis," so she faces the world as a single woman for the first time in 35 years.

Now, we're sad to announce that Goldie has dropped out of the show following a "bumpy last few months" with HBO.

According to rumors, Goldie was

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,

Oh, Darren Star, looks like you may have found another goldmine!

The creator of Sex and the City is currently shopping around his new, bound-to-be-controversial dramedy television series Good Christian Bitches. In all honesty though, it’s not so much him shopping it around, as it is networks trying to purchase it from him.

Looks like ABC, NBC, and CBS are all after his show, which is being written by Robert Harling, the writing talent behind The First Wives Club and Steel Magnolias. The project is based on a book by author Kim Gatlin, and the pilot is being referred to as Desperate Housewives in Dallas.

The story revolves around Amanda Vaughn, a recent divorcee who moves with her children to Dallas and gets involved in the wonderful world of botox, gossip, and fraud.

Well Darren, looks like you’ve got some decisions to make. To go to ABC, or not to go to ABC…

If you can turn this project into even one-fourth of the phenomenon that Sex and the City was/is, then you should be in perfect shape for your next project, whether it be Good Jewish Bitches, Good Muslim Bitches, or even Good Scientologist Bitches.

What network do U think Darren Star should go for?
