Sarah Jessica Parker confirms talks are ongoing for 'Hocus Pocus 3'
Fans of the Hocus Pocus franchise may have reason to stay hopeful. Sarah Jessica Parker has offered a fresh update on the long-rumored third installment, confirming that discussions are underway. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live!, the 60-year-old actress said, 'We've been having some conversations,' though she added there have been 'no more developments other than we would like to do it.' Parker's comments mark the first significant update in over a year regarding Hocus Pocus 3, which would serve as a follow-up to the 2022 sequel that reunited Parker with co-stars Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy as the wickedly comedic Sanderson sisters. The original 1993 film has since become a Halloween cult classic, making each sequel a nostalgic celebration for fans. Midler has also previously urged Disney to move quickly with the third movie. Appearing last year on Busy Philipps' QVC+ show Busy This Week, she quipped, 'If they're gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. Get us while we're still breathing!' While no script has been publicly confirmed, the stars' consistent enthusiasm suggests that creative forces may be aligning behind the scenes. The 2022 sequel was a streaming hit, debuting on Disney+ to record-breaking numbers, which likely adds momentum for a third chapter. Despite the growing interest, Disney has yet to officially greenlight the project. Still, Parker's latest remarks signal that the magic isn't over yet. With all three original stars still expressing a willingness to return, the potential for another witchy adventure remains very much alive.

Sarah Jessica Parker finally confirms she dated major Hollywood star
More than 20 years after setting tongues wagging, Sarah Jessica Parker has confirmed she dated Nicolas Cage. The Sex and the City icon, 60, and the Longlegs star, 61, met when filming the 1992 rom-com Honeymoon in Vegas, with filming taking place the year prior. Parker met her now husband, Matthew Broderick, in 1991 after being introduced by her two brothers, with the pair marrying in 1997. Meanwhile, Cage married his first wife, Patricia Arquette, in 1995 before the couple divorced in 2001. Decades of rumours have followed Parker and Cage, with the former finally confirming they were in a relationship at some point during an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. The host asked about Cage after discussing how she knew her husband was 'the one.' 'Um, yes I did [date him],' she confirmed, which seemed to shock Cohen, who also happened to be one of her longtime friends. 'Oh wow. We've got some talking to do,' he said of the revelation. Following his divorce from Severance star Arquette, Cage went on to marry Lisa Marie Presley in 2002, before splitting just 107 days after tying the knot. Cage and his third wife, Alice Kim, wed in 2004 and split in 2016, and he married Erika Koike three years later. The actor filed for an annulment from Koike four days later, and was granted a divorce after three months. In 2021, Cage married his current wife, Riko Shibata, welcoming their daughter, August, a year later. He also shares Weston, 34, with actor Christina Fulton, and Kal-El, 19, with Kim. Parker and Broderick have welcomed three children – James, 22, and twins Tabitha and Marion, 13. The Hocus Pocus actor had a series of high-profile relationships before settling down with Broderick, including with Footloose co-star Chris Penn. More Trending She also dated Robert Downey Jr after the pair met on the set of the 1984 film Firstborn. Soon after splitting from the Iron Man star in 1991, she was linked to John F Kennedy Jr for six months. Of this relationship, she previously said the overwhelming media attention around the pair led to their breakup. Metro has contacted representatives for Nicolas Cage for comment Got a story?

Sarah Jessica Parker reveals ‘unpleasant' part of playing Carrie on Sex and the City: ‘Sobbing'
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sarah Jessica Parker 'wasn't prepared for public commentary' about her physical appearance when Sex and the City debuted in 1998. 'That was really unpleasant at times when people would have opinions — not about the work,' the actress, 60, told podcaster Alex Cooper on Wednesday's episode of Call Her Daddy. While Parker would 'sometimes' get frustrated with viewers' 'misunderstanding' of her character, Carrie Bradshaw, she said it was 'the personal stuff' that really got to her, reports Page Six. 'At that time, I thought I was a fairly confident person,' she shared, explaining that 'it really comes into question and is tested when you're filleted, in a way, when you're opened up.' Despite the pain it caused, Parker said, 'I know you know this: We're better for those kinds of experiences, but not all of us are good at it right away.' Parker appeared as a guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Picture: Supplied When Cooper, 30, argued, 'It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt,' Parker agreed, adding, 'Up to that point, there was no chatter about me. … There was just my work.' When asked point-blank about some of the 'harder comments' she had to hear, the Hocus Pocus star replied, 'I think just discussions of my physical person. Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing — even still after hearing something that was like, 'What? Somebody would say that?'' To Parker, the 'chatter' about her face and body 'didn't feel like it was actually a conversation.' 'I didn't feel like I could sit in a room and someone would say to me, 'You're really unattractive,'' she said. 'And then I could say, 'Wow. First of all, that's hard to hear, but second of all, why do you seem angry about it? Why do you feel it's necessary to say it, to comment?'' She played Carrie Bradshaw on the original series – and has reprised the role in And Just Like That. The mother of three, who has been married to actor Matthew Broderick since 1997, recalled one specific time when 'a magazine said something really mean' about how she looks. 'It was like a kick in the rubber parts,' she admitted. 'I was just like, 'Why is this a problem? Why is this deserving of your time and why do you seem to delight in saying it?'' Parker confessed that the remark, which she did not repeat, left her 'sobbing because it felt so purposeful.' She believed that was 'the only time [she] really cried about' negative comments about her physical appearance. The Emmy Award winner, who made sure to note that social media has changed the landscape of how the public shares its opinion, wondered whether her critics would 'say it to [her] face.'
