Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have given up on their dream of gaining Irish citizenship.
The 'Sex and The City' star and her actor husband fell in love with the country and bought a holiday home in Donegal where they spend vacations with their children. They have looked into the possibility of relocating to Ireland permanently but the dream has been shelved after they found out they don't qualify for permanent residency status.
Sarah Jessica worked with Rosie O'Donnell - who moved to Ireland earlier this year - on the new series of 'And Just Like That ... ' and the actress admitted Rosie had an opportunity which was not afforded to the couple. She told the Sunday Independent newspaper: "We're [myself and Rosie] not in the same position."
Sarah Jessica added: "We do feel enormously privileged to be able to visit the country as much as possible, however, which of late has just worked out – our kids' school schedule and our own work schedule has allowed us to be in Ireland a lot.
"So we've given up on the idea of being able to call ourselves Irish citizens. But it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect our love of the country and our time spent there."

Rosie, 62, relocated to Ireland along with her 12-year-old child Clay after Donald Trump was re-elected as US president, and she has since insisted she's loving their new life there and has no regrets about the move.
She told Variety: "Never, for one moment since I arrived here, did I regret my choice. People have been so welcoming, so accepting, and they have a different view of celebrity in the culture here.
"They are not prioritized over other people. People are much more friendly and intimate with each other in a real way. Every time I go into the pharmacy, I fall in love, because the pharmacist talks to you. Have you ever spoken to a pharmacist at CVS? ...

"I call my friends every time, going, 'I think the pharmacist has a crush on me.' But it's a beautiful way of life. The smallness of this nation fits me very well."

SATC icon Kristin Davis finally shares whether she dated Mr. Big star Chris Noth after years of romance rumors
Sex And The City icon Kristin Davis has finally revealed whether she dated her co-star Chris Noth after years of swirling romance rumors. Noth famously played Mr. Big, the central on-off love interest of Sarah Jessica Parker 's character Carrie Bradshaw, on the original series and in the two films. Davis meanwhile featured as Charlotte York, one of the four main friends on the show including Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall). When the show's spin-off And Just Like That... debuted in 2021, Mr. Big briefly appeared as Carrie's husband - only to quickly die of a heart attack on a Peloton. Right after his character was killed off, Noth's career was upended by a string of sexual misconduct allegations, which he has since strenuously denied. Now Davis, 60, has used her Instagram page to address the years of speculation that she and Noth, 70, were once romantically involved in real life. Sex And The City icon Kristin Davis has finally revealed whether she dated her co-star Chris Noth after years of swirling romance rumors She dropped the bombshell in the comments section of a podcast clip in which she and Megan Thee Stallion discussed Mr. Big as a character. One fan wrote under the footage: 'Maam didn't you date him??' prompting Davis to clarify to the public once and for all: 'No i didnit!!!' In 2023, Noth firmly denied multiple allegation allegations of sexual misconduct in his first interview about the charges that infamously put his career on hold. Noth, who has insisted he is still close to his former Sex and the City co-stars, told USA Today that any encounters he has had outside his marriage were consensual. 'I strayed on my wife, and it's devastating to her and not a very pretty picture,' he told the outlet. 'What it isn't, is a crime.' The former Law and Order star has been married to his wife since 2012. The couple were together for 10 years before tying the knot and are parents to two children - Orion, 16, and Keats. Noth said he has spoken to his teenager about the situation. The SAG nominee admitted his infidelity saying, 'You give yourself the same excuses that many men do; it's just a little side dance, and it's fun. He said he justified by telling himself, 'You're not hurting anybody. No one's going to know about this, you know, and sex is just enjoyable.' 'And suddenly, a lot of people want to have sex with you. It's like, 'Well, I'm not going to get this chance again."' Noth denied those allegations, along with the claims of a fourth woman who also accused him of misconduct. Noth's character, Big,' was killed off in the first episode of the Sex and the City spinoff And Just Like That, a move that was planned as part of the plotline. The veteran star was fired from his job on the CBS drama The Equalizer shortly after the allegations were made public. Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis issued a joint statement saying, 'We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.' No criminal charges have been filed yet. New York does not have a statute of limitations on rape. The actor hinted the women who accused him may have a financial motive. Four women have told very different stories about their experiences with the Sex and the City star. In Dec. 2021, just weeks after his character was killed off on the in the SATC spin-off And Just Like That, two women went public with their allegations of sexual misconduct. One claimed he raped her in 2015 after she met the actor while working as a server at a nightclub. The second told The Hollywood Reporter Noth raped her in 2004. The actor's rep called the allegations 'categorically false.' A third woman came forward shortly after the THR article, and told The Daily Beast she had been assaulted by the Gone actor when she was 18 and working at a restaurant in New York. 'That's a money train for a lot of people,' he said. No lawsuits against the Manhunt actor have been filed. 'There's nothing I can say to change anyone's mind when you have that kind of a tidal wave,' he claimed. 'It sounds defensive. I'm not. There's no criminal court. There's no criminal trial. There's nothing for me to get on the stand about and get my story out, get witnesses.' The Good Wife actor had at the time been directing and performing at a theater in Massachusetts. He was working for Samuelsohn, a suit company launching a campaign to raise awareness about men's mental health when he spoke with the reporter from USA Today. 'I'm an actor,' he stated. 'I have other things that I want to do creatively. And I have children to support. I can't just rest on my laurels,' he said of his limited opportunities. 'I have enough to let a year drift, but I don't know how to gauge or judge getting back into the club, the business, because corporations are frightened.' 'Fear is the overriding operative word when it comes to whether they believe it or not,' he explained. 'I have to just continue on. It's rough, because people are scared, and their fear leads them. And I have to just persevere because I still have a creative life.'

Lisa Kudrow says her Friends character Phoebe ‘was so far from who I am'
The 61-year-old from Los Angeles played one of six friends featured in the hit US sitcom which also starred Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matt Le Blanc and the late Matthew Perry. Speaking to US actress Parker Posey for Variety's Actors On Actors series, she said: 'It (the series) was fun the whole time, because we had fun, the cast had fun. 'It was like a collaboration with the writers, because they were so great and nice and good. 'But me being Phoebe was so far from who I was as a human being that it was work. 'I needed to justify everything she was saying in my head so that it felt like she meant it and it was real to her. It was a lot of work. 'And I remember like season two or three, and I was just doing it, and went, 'Oh my god, I'm not doing the work. I don't know if this is going as well. I'm not doing the work'. 'I was really fretting over it. And (Matt) LeBlanc went, 'What's the matter with you?'. I said, 'I'm not doing the work that I did. I used to like really work, and he said, 'You're her. You don't have to do it anymore'.' Alongside her role in Friends, Kudrow is known for starring in a number of TV series as well as comedy films Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and The Opposite Of Sex. In 2023 she thanked her late co-star Perry for 'the best 10 years a person gets to have' while filming Friends in a tribute following his death at the age of 54. During their conversation, Posey, who has starred in films including Dazed And Confused and Superman Returns, spoke about one of her more recent roles playing a southern woman called Victoria Ratliff in season three of Mike White's dark comedy, The White Lotus. She said: 'It was such a gift to have this middle-aged woman at this time in my life, in my career, to be the southern woman. 'I was reading Tennessee Williams in junior high and high school and southern writers and all of this. So I was like, I just ate it up.'

‘Crass' cops slammed for playing ‘snog, marry, kill' with mugshots of local call girls and felons
Read on to find out how playing the popular game could land you in trouble COP QUIZ FURY 'Crass' cops slammed for playing 'snog, marry, kill' with mugshots of local call girls and felons Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LAYING 'snog, marry, avoid' with colleagues at work could be sexual harassment, a tribunal has ruled. The 'crass' and 'inappropriate' game may breach the Equality Act, an Employment judge said. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The risqué quiz involves naming three people and then asking a person to pick which one you would like to kiss, which one you would get married to and which one you would steer clear of altogether. In the BBC hit comedy Gavin and Stacey, Pam, Mick, Gavin and Smithy played a version of it featuring celebrities during a car ride from Essex to Wales. However, the tribunal found it may break workplace laws. The ruling came in the case of a police officer who sued Derbyshire Police after a female colleague involved him in the game — using mugshots of sex workers. The officer candidly admitted to the tribunal that she had 'jokingly' played the game with co-workers and included PC Shafarat Mohammed in their discussion. PC Mohammed claimed that during the discussion in May or June 2022 he was only shown images of black women and was asked what he liked about one of them. He said he was 'embarrassed' and 'offended' by the questioning and felt it was inappropriate. The tribunal judge said: 'We agree that the questions were inappropriate.' However, the tribunal found there was no racial or religious element to it as the sex workers were of varying ethnicities. PC Mohammed lost his case for racial and religious discrimination and harassment. Two top cops accused of mocking a colleague's Irish accent in 'grossly offensive' leaving video
