The journey of Carrie Bradshaw
The Sex and the City franchise began in 1998 and ran for six seasons, spawning two feature films and a prequel, The Carrie Diaries. Carrie, Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) reappeared in the 2021 revival, And Just Like That, as they dealt with life, grief, and love in their fifties.
Kim Cattrall, who portrayed Samantha Jones, made a fleeting appearance in Season 2 via text message but declined to reprise her role as a lead. The show also introduced new characters like Seema (Sarita Choudhary) and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker), expanding the series' perspective, the THR report stated.
Mixed reviews, loyal viewers
Despite the conversations and season 3 becoming a definitive source of "hate-watching" on social media, viewership has been solid, and the audience has engaged with the show weekly. Season 3 featured Carrie's final romantic arc with Aidan (John Corbett), which ended in heartbreak.
According to the writers, the relationship 'feels pretty permanent' and gives audiences a sense of closure, returning Carrie to her most iconic state: being single in New York.

Park Chan Wook's 'No Other Choice' to open 30th Busan International Film Festival
Park Chan Wook's 'No Other Choice' to open 30th Busan International Film Festival The 30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) has selected critically acclaimed director Park Chan-Wook's 'No Other Choice' as its opening film, reported Variety. It will mark the return of Park Chan to the big screens three years after 'Decision to Leave', for which he won best director at Cannes. According to the outlet, the film stars 'Squid Game' actor Lee Byung-hun in the lead role. He plays the role of Man-su, a man whose comfortable life unravels when he's suddenly dismissed from his job, forcing him into a desperate struggle to protect his wife Miri (Son Yejin), their two children, and their home, reported Variety. The story follows Man-su as he embarks on what the festival describes as "his own war of survival." Lee, who will also serve as host of this year's opening ceremony, teams up with Son Yejin for their first on-screen pairing as a married couple. The cast also includes Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won. Park described the project as a "long-awaited passion project" at BIFF 2019, and the film will receive its Asian premiere in Busan, following its world premiere at Venice, as reported by Variety. "I am deeply moved and excited to experience the premiere of Park Chan-wook's desired project alongside diverse audiences on the festival's opening day," said BIFF festival director Jung Hanseok. "I sincerely hope that its selection will build meaningful momentum to garner greater attention and foster renewed interest in Korean cinema," added Jung as quoted by Variety. The selection comes at a significant moment for Korean cinema, with BIFF positioning the film as one that "embodies what audiences most hope to see" and can "reinvigorate Korean cinema at this pivotal moment." Park made his directorial debut with 'The Moon Is... the Sun's Dream' (1992) and went on to create groundbreaking works including 'Joint Security Area' (2000), the Vengeance trilogy ('Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance,' 'Oldboy,' 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'), 'Thirst' (2009), 'The Handmaiden' (2016), and 'Decision to Leave' (2022). The director has been invited to the Cannes competition section four times and has been honoured with the Grand Prix, Prix du Jury, and Prix de la mise en scene, making him the first Korean director to achieve all three distinctions, reported Variety. The 30th Busan International Film Festival will run from September 17 to September 26.

'I won't let Taylor cut me off': Blake Lively's plea to Taylor Swift backfires as Travis Kelce sparks rift with Ryan Reynolds
Blake Lively is reportedly fighting to save her friendship with Taylor Swift (Getty Images) Hollywood insiders are buzzing as Blake Lively fights to mend her long-standing friendship with Taylor Swift—one that may be quietly unraveling due to a high-stakes legal battle involving Lively's It Ends With Us director and co-star, Justin Baldoni . Despite the turmoil, sources say Lively is adamant about staying in Swift's life. 'I won't let Taylor cut me off,' the Gossip Girl alum has reportedly told friends, after feeling pushed out of Swift's inner circle. Blake Lively refuses to let go of Taylor Swift friendship despite legal drama fallout The alleged strain stems from Lively's sexual harassment and defamation lawsuit against Baldoni, a case now drawing Swift in unexpectedly. A recent court ruling granted Baldoni's legal team access to private texts between Swift and Lively—messages that could drag the global pop star deeper into the unfolding drama. One leaked message from Lively to Baldoni even made an eyebrow-raising comparison: 'If you ever get round to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi. And, like her, I happen to have a few dragons.' Insiders believe one of those 'dragons' was Swift. Leaked messages and dragon metaphors reportedly unsettled Swift The fallout intensified when leaked texts from Lively to Baldoni surfaced online. In one message, Lively wrote: 'If you ever get round to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi. And, like her, I happen to have a few dragons.' Insiders say the "dragons" referenced included Swift. A source close to Swift said she 'would never think of herself as Blake's dragon, or protector,' and was deeply uncomfortable with being portrayed that way. Lively reportedly told friends: 'I won't let Taylor cut me off,' and has turned to mutual friends like Hugh Jackman and Salma Hayek to mediate. But not everyone is siding with her. Swift's core group—Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez , and Cara Delevingne—has allegedly distanced themselves from Lively. Travis Kelce unfollowing Ryan Reynolds adds fuel to rumors of a deeper divide Adding to the tension, Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce recently unfollowed Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Instagram—a move fans saw as a silent but clear message. A source close to Lively said: 'She's enraged. They pretended to be close friends, but as soon as Taylor got upset, they cut her off entirely.' Still, Lively is reportedly holding on: 'Blake isn't ready to give up. She loves her deeply and misses her beyond words.' Also Read: Travis Kelce publicly gushes over Taylor Swift with heartfelt shoutout amid growing engagement speculation Despite the silence from Swift, Lively is reportedly leaning on mutual friends like Hugh Jackman and Salma Hayek to help bridge the gap. Whether the once inseparable friends can reconcile remains uncertain—but for now, Lively is holding on to hope.

After wife Priya, Sunjay Kapur's stepdaughter Safira changes her Instagram name amid Rs 30,000 crore property battle
Sunjay Kapur's untimely demise has caused chaos amongst the members of his family. With a reported Rs. 30,000 crores of property at stake, the constant question that remains is who will inherit how much of the empire. After the late businessman passed away due to cardiac arrest, his wife, Priya, changed her name on social media, as she now goes by Priya Sunjay Kapur. Days later, Kapur's stepdaughter, Safira, also dropped her surname, 'Chatwal,' from her Instagram bio. The move by the mother and daughter is viewed as some kind of strategy to show more power in the empire's inheritance. Will Safira inherit Sunjay Kapur's property? According to the legal documents, the deceased property is inherited by his biological children. Hence, despite Karisma Kapoor and the late businessman's split in 2016, their two kids, Samira and Kiaan, have the right to share in their father's assets. According to the media reports, Kapur's kids from his marriage to the actress are gifted Rs. 14 crores of bonds and a monthly income of Rs. 10 Lakh. However, there's no official word regarding the same. Moreover, Kapur, who shared a son, Azarius, with his wife, Priya Sachdeva, will be the direct heir to both the trust and personal wealth. As for Safira, she is the daughter of Priya and her ex-husband, Vikram Chatwal. She will have a share in Sunjay's property if only she is legally adopted by Sunjay. In such a case, Safira would equally inherit the property, as his brother, Azarius. What do Karisma and Priya get from Sunjay Kapur's property? Priya, being the legal spouse of Sunjay at the time of his death, owns a significant portion of his assets due to the absence of a will. Moreover, Sunjay was the sole beneficiary of the RK Family Trust. Following his death, his wife will inherit and handle the assets.
