The end of a TV era: And Just Like That... season three will be the show's last
"And just like that... the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end," began a statement from showrunner Michael Patrick King, posted on Instagram on Friday 1 August. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That... season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop."
Michael continued, saying that he, alongside Sarah Jessica Parker and HBO execs Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, mutually decided to end the series with a two-part finale.
"SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season," he wrote. "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years."
It's unclear if And Just Like That... was cancelled by the network or naturally came to an end on its own. Viewership for the show's third (and now final) season had reportedly been declining, and it's possible that all the "love to hate it" discourse became too much to ignore. Or maybe Sarah Jessica Parker and her fellow co-stars, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Sarita Choudhury, and Nicole Ari Parker were simply ready to say goodbye.
Whatever the reason, it sounds like this might be the last time fans ever get to see Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda on their screens — note Michael's use of the term "Sex and the City universe". It's truly the end of a television era.
And Just Like That... will end with a two-part series finale, with part one airing on Thursday 7 August, and part two airing on August 14.

She elaborated on how her 'Grammy' taught her strength, how to paint, and kindness.

Brad, 60, was said to be especially tight with his mother, often crediting her as the emotional cornerstone of their family.

The star showed the extent of a mother's love when she fiercely defended her eldest son in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which has now resurfaced online. Re-shared this year by Instagram fan account, @celinedionfashion, the clip showed Celine being interviewed by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and things took a turn when Ellen asked when she was going to cut off her son's long hair. "Do you have a problem with that?" was Celine's speedy response. "Whatever I will do, I won't please everyone," she quipped, and also went on to reveal that "Rene-Charles makes his own decisions." MORE TO READ Celine Dion opens up about how her three sons have privately dealt with her health battle Fans praised how Celine handled the situation with one writing: "Celine did that with style, education and respect! She's amazing!" and another adding: "Do you have a problem with that? Put Ellen in place right there." A third penned: "Sooooo classy! So admirable, Céline!" and a fourth added: "Glad Ellen is not on TV anymore; she was not kind." Mum-of-one Features Editor, Miranda Thompson, shares her experience on unsolicited advice about children. "When it comes to unwanted advice about my son, I have to always try to remember people think they're being helpful, not malicious, and that it's likely they're trying to offer their own support in their own way. If it really winds me up, I'll take a deep breath and vent to a mum chat later!" she says. Celine shares her sons with late music producer René Angélil, who sadly passed away in 2003. On Father's Day, Celine shared a heartfelt message to her late husband. "You may no longer be by our side, but your love lives within us.

Brooks Nader heats up Saint-Tropez with leopard-print swimsuit, sheer dresses
Brooks Nader is serving looks in Saint-Tropez. The 28-year-old model posted a series of photos on Instagram from her summer getaway on the French Riviera, including a number of revealing looks, captioning the post, "Some fave fits and views as of lately." One of the photos featured Nader walking outdoors in a leopard-print one-piece swimsuit, which she paired with black sunglasses and a drink in her hand. In another photo, she can be seen in the back of a car wearing a low-cut black sleeveless shirt which she accessorized with a chunky gold necklace. Nader also shared a photo of herself sitting on the bed of a truck in a white bikini, which she paired with sweatshorts, black sandals, sunglasses and a baseball cap. Nader shared many other snippets from her trip, including footage from a helicopter ride, the view of the ocean from the pool where she was staying and the many other outfits she put together. The looks included a sheer black and white polka dot dress, a white crop top with a sheer white skirt, a sheer backless dress which she paired with diamonds, and a white dress with a thigh-high slit and cutouts. Fans in the comments section were quick to share how much they loved her looks, with one writing "It's really unfair that anyone be this perfect," and another adding, "You look insane!" A third fan chimed in with, "st tropez looks good on you," while a fourth wrote, "Those abs will not be denied." Just last month, Nader made headlines when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction while on the red carpet at the ESPYs. The model walked the red carpet in a cream silk slip dress with a plunging neckline, which drifted too far to one side at one point, resulting in a nip-slip. Nader quickly readjusted her dress and continued to pose for photos on the carpet with confidence. The model can often be seen sporting daring and often risqué looks on the red carpet, telling Fox News Digital in December 2021 she has loved to experiment with fashion since she was a kid and was always confident in her style. While she was always confident, Nader explained that working with "Sports Illustrated helped my confidence a lot" because not only was she surrounded by models who are physically beautiful, but who "also have beautiful hearts" and built a "very spirit-lifting community." While confident, her daring style has led to "so many near mishaps." "It took a lot of figuring out when it came to my love of sheer dresses and how to perfectly conceal everything," she explained at the time. "I had one sheer dress moment where I wore this high-rise underwear that was way too light. And it showed through the dress. But you live and learn from experience."
