If you couldn't help but wonder what Sarah Jessica Parker has been up to lately (besides haunting the West Village), here's your answer: working on a TV show about divorce. Unfortunately, this new project for HBO will not be about Carrie divorcing Big, but it will star SJP if the paperwork gets ironed out.

James Lipton would already like to sleep with every single person who joins him on stage for Inside the Actors Studio, which is only one of the reasons that I think appearing on the show is probably a terribly complex feat of acting. You so have to try; and only signal the effort insofar as it makes us love you more. Or do the harder thing and become more fully yourself. (Tellingly, Robin Williams' 2001 appearance splits the partisans.)
