With the huge success of the Sex and The City movie, it looks like a sequel will be coming down the line. Fans who had made their peace and said goodbye to the four girls will get a chance to see further in their personal and fashion lives.

HBO, who was one of the main backers of the movie, has confirmed that a sequel is indeed in, “the early stages of development”. The president of HBO’s programming group, Michael Lombardo, says that they are working with Warner Brothers on the follow up movie. “There is enormous interest by Warner Bros. and New Line to do another Sex and the City and I think, in fact, they’re trying to put that together now. When that happens or how long it would take, I can’t say. But there’s tremendous interest.”

HBO co-president, Richard Plepler, is also very excited and positive about the prospect of a Sex and The City sequel. “Everybody came away feeling very excited by [the first film's] quality and its success, so that always invites the possibility of a continuation,” Plepler said. “It’s really up to [director] Michael Patrick [King] and Sarah Jessica [Parker] and the rest of the girls … Yeah, I think there’s a likely possibility.”

But this is definitely in the preliminary stages. So far there is no script written and no contracts have been signed by any of the stars. And there are already rumors that Kim Cattrall, who plays Samantha, will once again hold out for more money. A source says, “Kim is a smart woman and knows the part she has played in the success of the film. If they want to make a sequel, it’s foolish to think they can secure her for the same salary.”

Looks like Shia LaBeouf has had a bit of luck. Despite the fact that he is under suspicion of drinking while driving for that early morning crash Sunday, he is not at fault for the accident. The driver of the other vehicle ran a red light, causing the fender bender that sent Shia into surgery for a shattered hand.

Sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore has said that the Indiana Jones actor “was not at fault.” According to Whitmore, the Sheriff’s office has strong evidence that the other driver ran a red light. “As a result of this new evidence the other driver is also being charged.” Even though the accident wasn’t his fault, it doesn’t get the actor off on the misdemeanor DUI charge, even though he has yet to be formally charged. According to officers on the scene, LaBeouf showed “obvious signs of intoxication from the smell of alcohol coming from his breath.”

But it seems that not everyone believes that the young actor was indeed drunk. It has been confirmed that the unidentified female passenger with Shia at the time of the accident was his Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas. Lucas was not seriously injured in the crash and was treated at Mount Sinai hospital for minor cuts and bruises. Neither Isabel nor her mother Beatrice believes that Shia had been drinking before getting behind the wheel. And Beatrice Lucas has spoken out about the accident. She told Australia’s Cairn Post that she doesn’t think that LaBeouf was intoxicated and driving. Why? Because she doesn’t think her daughter would be dumb enough to get in the car with someone drunk. “Isabel would not get into the car with someone she thought was drink-driving.” Everyone else at the crash site has indicated that Shia smelt like a brewery. Maybe alcohol smells different in Australia.

Holy woman beater Batman! Seems the Caped Crusader himself got into a bit of trouble. Or more like a crap pile of trouble. Reports are coming out of the UK that Christian Bale has been detained and questioned about allegedly assaulting his 61 year old mother and 40 year old sister this past Sunday night at the Dorchester Hotel in London where he was staying. Mom, Jenny and sister, Sharon reported the assault to the cops in Hampshire where they live and the case was quickly referred to the Metropolitan police. According to a source, an argument about a long standing family matter took place Sunday night and Bale lashed out at his mother and sister, pushing one of them.

But it seems that the police have a soft spot for the Batman star as he was allowed to attend the European premiere of The Dark Knight and four press events preceding the premiere before being asked to come in for questioning. Why did they let him canoodle all over London when there was a warrant out for his arrest? Well, they didn’t think the star was a flight risk, what, with the millions he’s worth and all. Also, they didn’t want to ruin the premiere. Britain’s The Sun was told by a police source that, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.”

Uh huh. I wonder how his mum and sis feel about this. Oh, so he smacked you around a bit? Sure we’ll question him. Just as soon as he’s done promoting his movie. About being a superhero and protector. You understand, right?

Everyone involved is being super tightlipped about the incident, with Bale’s rep denying the charges (of course) and the police and family members involved refusing to comment.

Sarah Jessica Parker has been wronged. It’s so horrible, so unspeakable that I’m not even sure I can write about it. Okay, deep breath. Here goes. She had to a wear a dress that –gasp!- was worn my someone else!

The new Sex and the City movie is all anyone can talk about. And along with the movie comes fashion. If you know anything about the show it’s that it has five stars: the four main characters and the fashions they wear. From shoes to hair and everything in between these four characters have been trend setters for year. So I guess it’s only normal that such a big stink was created surrounding SJP and her recycled dress.

The New York Times has reported that the Nina Ricci frock worm by Sarah Jessica to the Sex and the City premiere had previously been worn by socialite Lauren Santo Domingo. And if that wasn’t bad enough Lindsay Lohan also wore the dress in an ad campaign for Disney. (Lohan and Disney. That’s even weirder that Lohan and Sam )

Once she found out that instead of the first she was actually the third person to wear the gown, Sarah Jessica had the following to say:

“It’s just unethical and disappointing that they would allow the dress to be worn again.”

Unethical? Really Sarah Jessica? Now, I would say maybe unethical was a bit too strong of a word to use in this instance. How about embarrassing? How about maybe you should have asked more questions about the dress, like, was it worn before? Or, instead of throwing a hissy fit why not turn the press around and say that it’s better for the environment if clothing is worn more than, oh, once? And seriously, who cares? Most of us wear the same shirt twice a week. Some times three if we’re busy.
