Only in our wildest dreams would the series that formed our definition of the Manhattan lifestyle be coming back for more. Luckily for us the relatable Carrie, the hilarious Samantha and the gorgeous Mr. Big may be gracing the big screen once again for Sex and the City 3.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Hudson, the endearing Louise from St. Louis in the first Sex and the City movie, have been publicly hinting at a third movie via Twitter and during interviews.

Parker has also been tweeting at Kristin Davis, the actress who played Charlotte in the series, and it seems to be about the third installment. The tweets express how much they miss each other and Parker ends by asking Davis if she’s “heard the news?”

Maybe Sex and the City 3 isn’t officially confirmed, but they can’t let us down now. We have to hope and believe that the four Manhattan beauties will once again inspire us with their distinctive style and remarkable glamour.

Olivia Palermo Is a Chic Bride in Shorts

Socialite and former reality star Olivia Palermo turned the tables (and heads) of the style community, when she married her longtime boyfriend Johannes Huebl in Bedford, New York, this weekend. The three-piece outfit was designed by Carolina Herrera. Palermo wore the ensemble for the cover of the June/July issue of Brides magazine which was a departure from the expected traditional wedding gown. Yet, she managed to look stunning and effortless.

Carrie Bradshaw would approve!

Palermo was a vision in a cream cashmere sweater nestled in a flowing tulle skirt and pair of white shorts. To complement her understated elegance with “something blue”, she opted for the embellished cobalt blue Manolo Blahniks that Carrie Bradshaw wore when she married Mr. Big in the Sex and the City movie. She kept her appearance simple with flowing ponytail and natural makeup that completed her sophisticated demeanor.

The couple exchanged vows in a park tucked away in the romantic countryside setting on Sunday afternoon, surrounded by a few family members and close friends. As discreet as the wedding was, it is no question that Palermo, whose style has been praised internationally, made a sartorial choice worthy of making headlines.

Welcome, Matt Letscher

Matt Letscher

Matt Letscher of Scandal and The Carrie Diaries is a breakout star, and everybody’s favorite familiar face.

Matt Letscher is the ultimate actor. He’s the kind of guy everybody knows, but nobody seems to know his name. “I guess that means I’m doing my job,” laughs the affable actor, playwright and family man who has seen his tip-of-the-tongue status change to top-of-the-marquee since exploding onto America’s consciousness with two completely different, but equally high-profile parts, on the hit series, Scandal and the prequel to Sex and the City, The Carrie Diaries.

“The fact that they are so different made it a little easier for me to do one after the other,” says the 42-year-old father of two daughters who fell in love with the theater as a kid growing up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

In Scandal, he plays the scene-stealing and scheming Chief of Staff for the Vice President who would sink to any depth to rise to the top. On the opposite end of the spectrum, he stars as the awkward, but well-intentioned widowed dad of young Carrie Bradshaw, who never quite has a handle on things.

“I’ve always worked a lot, but I’ve never been a celebrity,” he laughs. “But now people approach and let me know they like my work, and it’s really not a bad feeling.”

Letscher is an actor’s actor, having racked up more than 15 film roles dating back to his 1993 debut in Ted Turner’s epic Gettysburg back in 1993. He’s also a theater mainstay, appearing in 18 plays and getting his start when Jeff Daniels, Evening News star and fellow Michigan native, discovered his talent as a playwright, encouraging him to write his own first work, Ship of Fools, which Daniels featured in his Purple Rose Theatre.

Chris Noth: Vexed In The City

 5x7

New York acting icon Chris Noth grins and gripes about his tempestuous relationship with acting, celebrity and New York.

If you’re looking for a poster kid for New York, look no fur- ther than Chris Noth.

The Greenwich Village resident may have been born in Wisconsin, but his resume was reared right here on the streets of the city. Two of our town’s most iconic television series, Sex and the City and Law & Order owe a huge amount of their success to his acting. He can often be seen hoofing it to one of his many theater gigs where he continues to hone his craft, or strolling into a neighborhood watering hole to relax and take the edge off.

“I know I get a little grouchy when I’m weaving through a sea of tourists with their cameras looking for a snapshot of the guy from Sex and the City, but there aren’t many places where I get the kind of energy and opportunities that I’ve had right here in New York.”

The 57-year-old Big Apple denizen has an edge that screams New York. He’s like every streetwise city dweller Hollywood has romanticized on the silver screen. He’s Dustin Hoffman slapping the hood of a taxi in Midnight Cowboy and screaming “I’m walking here!!”

“Look, I love it here,” he says. “It just gets a little hard to find your own space sometimes.” For Noth, whom many think of as the elegant publishing magnate who melted women’s hearts on SATC, that space is The Cutting Room, the rock palace of which he has a piece. It’s his haven, bursting with bands that strike a chord with well-heeled rockers. But even here he can belt out the blues.

“This is our second location,” he says. “It’s a fantastic place, but as New York morphs more into a cleaner, more corporate city, you’ll find more Banks of America than cool places like this.”

If Noth seems a bit nostalgic, it’s understandable, since he developed his taste for the Big Apple back in the bad old days before the Giuliani cleanup of the early ’90s. “Those were the days when a struggling actor could live in Manhattan. Hell, I remember riding my bike through the snow with my girlfriend on the handle bars. But, now that I think of it, my bike got stolen—so there were definite trade-offs…”
