Sarah Jessica Parker Shares Her Honest Take On Carrie's Awkward Phone Sex Moment
Sarah Jessica Parker has opened up about one of her most talked-about moments from the new season of And Just Like That.
And no… we're not talking about that hat.
Last week, the Sex And The City reboot returned to our screens, picking up the story where we left off, with Sarah Jessica's character Carrie and Aidan (played by John Corbett) having made the decision to cool off their relationship while he focusses on his family life in Virginia.
In the season three opener, Aidan drunkenly called Carrie for a catch-up which quickly descended into phone sex – although with her kitten watching, she was a less-than-willing participant, and ended up faking orgasm at the end of the tryst.
During a recent interview with Glamour, SJP was asked why that was a scene she 'wanted to make', to which she responded: 'I didn't want to, it's in the script.'
'I don't come up with these ideas. None of this is my idea, I influence no stories, no writing, no lines, no sweeping big ideas about plot,' she explained. 'It's a scene that Michael [Patrick King, And Just Like That's showrunner] thought was important, as [Carrie and Aidan] attempt to honour this sabbatical, and a way in which they're trying to stay connected, and sort of respect the boundaries that are unclear.'
She added: 'That's an instance where I didn't have a strong enough defence against it, so I was like, 'alright'.'
'There are worse things people are asked to do at work,' she then said when pressed on the subject, before admitting it was a subject she didn't want to 'spend too much time on'.
And Just Like That's return has already proved to live up to the chaos we've come to expect from the revival, so far delivering Miranda inadvertently hooking up with a nun, Charlotte getting into a scrap in the park over her dog and LTW cooking breakfast while in a necklace seemingly made entirely out of wicker.
Please, let this show run for another 10 seasons.
The first two episodes of And Just Like That season three are available to watch on Sky and Now, with new instalments every Friday in the UK.

Alexis Bledel's Dating History Over The Years Includes A Few ‘Gilmore Girls' Loves, Too
Alexis Bledel is best known for playing Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, a character whose love life fans are very passionate about. And Alexis dated some of her onscreen boyfriends too! Earlier this week, my phone buzzed with a text from a friend I hadn't spoken to in three months. 'Dean, Jess, Tristan, or Logan?' she asked. Sensing the urgency of the situation, I immediately responded, 'Logan 100000 percent.' I've elected myself president of the Logan Huntzberger Fan Club since the first time I watched Gilmore Girls. I firmly believe that Logan is the best partner for Rory. Sorry to all the Jess girlies out there — and if we're looking at off-screen relationships, that includes Alexis Bledel. Any Gilmore Girls fan worth their coffee knows Rory Gilmore's dating history like the back of their hand, but Alexis Bledel's dating history is much more low-key. The star is much more private, but just like Rory, she's captured her fair share of hearts over the years, including two of her Gilmore Girls love interests! Rory may have Dean, Jess, Tristan, and Logan, but Alexis has Jared, Chris, Milo, John, and Vincent. This might be controversial, but I think Dean was the best first boyfriend Rory could have had. As far as we know, Jared Padalecki was the best first boyfriend Alexis Bledel could have had, too. The Supernatural alum confirmed he and Bledel dated while filming Gilmore Girls Season 1. 'When Alexis and I met, we were both 17 years old and were both Texans and kind of in this new, strange city and I was like, 'Hey, want to go out to dinner?'" he told Glamour in 2021. 'I don't know if we tried to keep it a secret. I wish it was scandalous or something! I think it was more kind of silly.' I guess he really was 'her Dean.' Bledel may have dated two of her Gilmore Girls love interests, but she dated three of her Gilmore Girls co-stars. Chris Heuisler had a small role as a Stars Hollow High basketball player in Season 2 Episode 11, titled 'Secrets and Loans.' The pair didn't interact onscreen, but casting director Mara Casey told Life & Style that they were briefly together offscreen. Okay, even though I'm Team Logan, I happily admit that Rory and Jess had crazy onscreen chemistry. That's probably because their actors dated for three years in real life! They started dating halfway through filming Season 2 (which was around 2002 and was the season Jess moves to Stars Hollow) and broke up in 2006. They've stayed on good terms since; Ventimiglia even Bledel on her Emmy nomination in 2017. Alexis Bledel briefly dated this British model between 2010 and 2011. They were photographed attending a for Kate Spade's new fragrance in September 2010. Bledel guest-starred on Season 5 of Mad Men as the mistress of Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser). Their illicit affair was totally above board in real life. They waited to begin dating two months after filming wrapped, got engaged a year later, and tied the knot in a in June 2014, according to US. The couple were careful to keep the details of their relationship private, so the world was happily surprised to learn — from , who played Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls — that they welcomed a son in fall 2015. In 2022, Us Weekly reported that Kartheiser had filed for divorce after eight years of marriage. Bledel currently appears to be single. I may be on Team Logan for Rory, but I'm on Team Alexis for Rory's real-life counterpart. Check out for even more celebrity relationship content! This post has been updated.

Review: Just because you're a pop star doesn't mean you deserve a musical
If 'A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical' were instead a Neil Diamond cover band, this review would be a qualified rave. And if all you care about in your jukebox musicals is persuasive covers of your favorite hits, sparkly costumes and bright lights, you can stop reading right now and go and have a wonderful time. Star Nick Fradiani sounds frighteningly like the pop genius who gave us 'Sweet Caroline,' 'Solitary Man' and 'Cracklin' Rosie.' In the show, which opened Thursday, June 5, at BroadwaySF's Golden Gate Theatre, record producer Ellie Greenwich (Kate A. Mulligan) describes Diamond's voice as 'gravel wrapped in velvet,' or 'like you just woke up and tripped over an ashtray.' Fradiani has that. His timbre is like an open range studded with tumbleweeds and barbed wire, cowboy ruggedness crossed with Flatbush grit, schmaltz with singed edges. And he knows just how to deploy it: when to purr, when to rawr, when to strum those vocal cords. But 'A Beautiful Noise' attempts to be more than just a concert, and in so doing, it creates the clunkiest framing device and the least likeable protagonist possibly in the history of jukebox musicals. The show has two Neils. Fradiani is Neil — Then, and Robert Westenberg is Neil — Now, who opens the musical seated silently across from his therapist (Lisa Reneé Pitts), who has purchased a Diamond songbook from which she can conveniently ask her aging client leading questions about what his lyrics really mean. It's as exactly as indulgent and obvious as it sounds. Neil — Then is too stoic to open up, but then the appearance of the book magically snuffs out that flicker of tension. The therapist's questions — 'When did you start writing songs?' — lead to cliches that ChatGPT could write: 'I had music running through my head.' Both Neils come across as sourpusses, leading other characters to pick on the younger version, with one nicknaming him Hamlet. The therapy setup, with Neil — Now and the shrink watching the flashbacks like bumps on a log, teases the possibility that eventually we'll get a deep, dark or at least dramatically interesting reason for all the gloom. Neil — Now's refusal to talk about his childhood for most of the show suggests it might have something to do with his parents. But then when we finally meet them, all they have to say for themselves is 'We're Jews; of course we're anxious.' Childhood Neil has an imaginary friend to cope with the garden-variety angst. That's it. That's his whole reason for being morose and surly to everyone his whole life. But by the way, that's not why he's in therapy; it's that his health is failing and he can't perform any more. It's not a spoiler to reveal that, because the show's book, by Anthony McCarten, throws it in like an afterthought when it could have made for a much more effective mainspring. So let's use this whole creaky contraption to ask what we, the theatergoing public and fans of the oldies station back when it still played '60s hits, get out of touring jukebox musicals. Sure, there are the high production values, the communion with fellow fans as we sing along to old favorites and the chance to measure the distance between our idols and their theatrical substitutes. But a high-quality tribute band could offer all those pleasures without the baggage of a predictable narrative. So it must be something else that keeps us buying tickets. Maybe it's those Wikipedia factoids sprinkled in, like that the opening chords in 'Sweet Caroline' were a new progression in Diamond's oeuvre. Maybe we've worn out all our albums from repeat playing and crave hearing cherished tunes in new arrangements and narrative contexts. Or maybe we hope that theater will be able to work its tools as an art form — just as Diamond fought for his right to write and record serious songs, not merely formulaic ones. But imagine if a supposedly new pop album could use only material that was preexisting, but that wasn't originally intended to be pop music. Or if all its words had to get approved by rich, powerful rights-holders whose heyday was decades ago before anyone could hear them. Maybe you could still make great art under those constraints. But such shackles are heavy for creators in both the Billboard Hot 100 and musical theater.
