And Just Like That's new teaser sparks conspiracy theory that Samantha Jones is BACK after Kim Cattrall season 2 cameo
SEX and the City fans are convinced that Samantha Jones might make her long-awaited return in an upcoming episode.

Ahead of Thursday night's episode, Max (soon to be HBO Max) posted a hint at Samantha's comeback with an out-of-context picture from the show.
The picture shows someone going to text Samantha Jones.
The streaming service simply captioned the post with an eyes emoji, leaving fans to their own devices in the comments.
"WE WANT HER. WE NEED HER," one Instagram user wrote.
Another added, "Wait is she coming back? i'd start watching the show again."
"You guys keep messing up with our hearts like that…," a third wrote, referencing the Season 2 cameo.
Cattrall's appearance in last season's finale shocked viewers as the actress had previously said she wasn't interested in starring on the show due to her fallout with lead actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
SJP has continued to film the show with the other leads, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, but fans of the iconic '90s series have persistently lamented the absence of the original foursome.
The fans' complaints paid off when Samantha took a phone call from Carrie, SJP's character, in the episode that aired in 2023.
However, Cattrall didn't have to be in the same room as the other stars to film the short scene — which was likely on purpose.
And Just Like That fans are 'crying' over Samantha Jones' cameo on season finale and claim Kim Cattrall 'saved the show'
The actress said on The View in 2023 that the show bosses called her and begged her to make a cameo.
"It's very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, 'What can we do?'" Cattrall said on the talk show.
She said that she responded, "'Hmm, let me get creative.'"
One of Cattrall's requirements was that Pat Field, the original costume designer for Sex and the City, work on her outfit for the cameo.
Field, who declined to work on AJLT, agreed to dress Samantha again.
"I just thought that if I'm going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did,' Cattrall said on The View.
Cattrall reportedly filmed the scene without seeing or speaking to any of the show's other stars, and she didn't interact with the show's creator, Michael Patrick King, Variety reported at the time.
SJP and Cattrall's feud reportedly started when Cattrall found out that the actress was making more per episode than her.
The feud came to a head in 2018 when SJP expressed her sympathy after Cattrall's brother died.
Cattrall slammed her on X at the time, saying, "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?'
"Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now.
'You are not my family. You are not my friend.
'Stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona."
She later publicly said that SJP was never her friend, only her colleague.
Parker has denied any bad blood between the two.
Fans have yet to see if Parker and Cattrall come face to face in AJLT this season.
The Season 3 finale is currently slated for August 14, 2025.

I was only chosen to be a bridesmaid because of my hair colour - the bride wanted to be the only blonde
A fuming wedding guest has revealed how she was only picked to be her friend's bridesmaid because of her hair colour. Taking to Reddit, the bridesmaid, who is from the US, said she was 'surprised' when a high school friend, from whom she'd grown apart and hadn't seen in over two years, asked her to be part of her bridal party. She admitted that she agreed to take on the role 'for old times' sake' but stated that she would have declined had she known the real reason she was chosen as one of the six bridesmaids - because she's a brunette. After the wedding, the guest heard that the bride had told her friends that they hadn't been selected because they have brown hair - even expressing remorse that one of them had even recently dyed their locks blonde. In her post, which she shared on the Reddit thread r/weddingshaming, the bitter guest shared the moment she found out the truth: ' The bachelorette party included friends who weren't bridesmaids and by the end of the night, apparently the bride told these friends that they weren't bridesmaids because they weren't brunette!! 'As one of the friends tells it, the bride told her that it was such a shame she had gone back to her natural blonde because otherwise she would have been in the wedding party. 'She said this in earshot of the other blondes. Apparently, the bride wanted to be the only blonde at the altar so she picked her bridesmaids from her brunette contacts.' She concluded: 'I can only assume she reached out to me after so long because I am brunette!' 'I didn't hear about this until after the wedding or I would have dropped out.' The bridesmaid claimed the couple were clearly 'too young and immature' to get married - but said the bride and groom are still together. As they were around 'college age', many over the guests weren't 21 yet so the newlyweds didn't serve alcohol and it 'kind of felt like a prom'. People rushed to the comments - with some even suggesting that the bridesmaids should have all dyed their hair blonde for the morning of the wedding just to be 'petty'. One person wrote: 'After finding this out, the morning of the wedding you should've died your hair platinum Marilyn Monroe blond. No, I take that back - bright lipstick Lucille Ball red.' Another added: 'Or what if they did malicious compliance and showed up with their hair all different colors except brown or blonde? 'Bride wanted to be the only blonde, she's still the only blonde but now her bridesmaids look like a neon rainbow and are definitely more eye-catching in the photos than the bride is.' Another joked: 'See, this is why, as a blonde, I just don't make friends with other blondes in the first place. I have to be the only one!!!' A fourth added: 'Tell me you're too young and immature to get married without telling me you're too young and immature to get married.' To which the bridesmaid added: 'The couple is still married but this wedding was the picture of too young and immature to get married. 'It kind of felt like a prom and that wasn't helped by the fact that not all of the guests were over 21 so the couple didn't serve alcohol. '(I've been to sober weddings that don't feel like proms, btw, this is not a dig at sober weddings).' Previously, a bride's sister revealed her sibling's 'mean girl' strategy for ensuring she looks nothing short of stunning in her wedding pictures. The 24-year-old US-based woman told how her older sister was so determined not to be outshone on her big day that she asked 'ugly friends' to be her bridesmaids in place of her closest pals. The younger sister, who was herself asked to be a bridesmaid, explained that the bride's approach was so unethical to her that she ended up turning the role down. Taking to the 'Am I The A******?' thread on Reddit, the anonymous woman admitted that she was initially 'excited' at the prospect of being her sister's bridesmaid - but that all changed when she discovered 'who the rest of the bridal party was.' She explained: 'Every single one of them is someone she's either not that close to or has made fun of before for being awkward' or not photogenic. 'Some of her actual best friends - the ones who she sees all the time - weren't even asked'. Baffled by her older sibling's choice of bridesmaids, the younger sister decided to chat about the decision with her. Recalling the bride's revealing response, the sister added: 'She kind of laughed and said, 'You'll understand when it's your wedding. You don't want people who'll outshine you in your own pictures'.' Uncomfortable with the bride's logic, the sister probed further, asking: 'So you picked them because you think they'll make you look better?' At this, the bride 'rolled her eyes' and told her sister: 'It's not that deep. I just want to feel confident that day, and I'm allowed to be a little selfish for my wedding'.

The Simpsons' producer clarifies Marge's death
The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman addressed fan concerns about Marge Simpson 's apparent Death in the show's 36th season finale. Selman clarified that Marge's Death is not considered canon, stating that the show has no consistent canon due to numerous contradictory flash-forwards. The episode, set 35 years in the future, depicted Homer at Marge's grave, but Marge later appeared in a pre-recorded message and then in heaven. Selman suggested that media outlets created misleading headlines about Marge's Death to generate traffic, despite knowing it was not a permanent plot point. The long-running animated series has been renewed for four more seasons, ensuring it will surpass 800 episodes.
