SJP to Star in Groundbreaking Film About New York City Lady
Sex and the City workhorse Sarah Jessica Parker is in talks to star in the upcoming movie The Ivy Chronicles. Marking a huge departure from her previous acting gig, Ivy is about a single gal in New York City who lives in a series of wildly unrealistic apartments. The character, Ivy Ames, also helps rich kids get into rich people schools. This could be a make-it-or-break-it movie for Ms. Parker, who's had great success with the SATC series and movie, but whose other film efforts, for the most part, have, erm, failed to launch (though, the actual film Failure to Launch did very respectably at the box office.) Read a more detailed description of this Ivy Bradshaw—I mean Ames—after the jump. More »

Tinsley Mortimer To Guest on Gossip Girl
Good gravy. Tinsley Mortimer is making a cameo on Gossip Girl next season, which she filmed over the weekend in the Hamptons. The handbag-designing, gobbledygook-talking Upper East Side socialite is a natural fit for the Upper East Side teen soap, we think. One wonders if she'll be playing herself or a character, perhaps named Brinsley Lorimer or something (who maybe eats banana peels and falls down the stairs a lot.) It's somewhat exciting news for Mortimer fans who were undoubtedly saddened by the untimely passing of her scuttled reality show. ("It was incredibly boring. The project is dead." Ouch!) Tinz joins fellow socialite Lydia Hearst, who guested on the first season finale back in May. Above is a picture of Ms. Mortimer on the set (via INF), and after the jump is an exclusive clip from one of her GG scenes. More »

Gossip Girl Casts Older Woman - I Mean 'Cougar'
Warning! Cougars are everywhere! They're reading you your evening news, confusing dead people, and threatening day hikers and naturalists nationwide. And now they're going to be on the damn Gossip Girl. Yes, impossibly-named actress Mädchen Amick (Twin Peaks) has just been cast on the Upper East Side teen soap as Catherine Mason, an older woman who aims to seduce our prettiest young thing, Nate (played by Chace Crawford). Well, that's good news I suppose. Nate could use some spicing up, as his character is currently about as bland as impossibly gorgeous bland people can get. Also nice to hear that they shored-up some casting after their Hamptons open casting proved to be a complete disaster. But "cougar." Grr. (Noise-pun not intended). That may just be EW's word, but we kinda doubt it. Is anyone as sick of that term as I am? More »

Rich Unemployed Actors Needed to Play Rich Unemployed Socialites on Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl wants you! No, not you. Move over. I'm talking to that rich Hamptonite kid behind you who "own[s] a wide variety of upscale wardrobe including, but not limited to, polished trendy, designer labels, elegant formalwear, single and double breasted suits in addition to tasteful shoes and accessories." Yes indeed, the buzzed-about teen soap that no one actually watches will be filming in the Hamptons this summer and an open casting call (well, open for SAG members) for extras will be held this Saturday from 1-4 at some place called the Pink Elephant, in West Hamptonsberrycourt. Or some such silly town. Someone please go! Calling all well-dressed out of work actors who read Gawker! You could play "polished Upper East Side types, young, sexy Manhattan socialites, conservative prep-school teenagers, and bourgeois, high society types". And that's not the only casting going on! A tipster tells us of a far more depressing and poorly attended cattle call, for a Howard Stern project naturally, that was witnessed today, after the jump. More »

The Real Housewives of New York City Want You!
We all love the "ultra-stylish" Real Housewives of New York City, don't we? Oh. The women are all horrible monsters (except Bethenny) who probably smell like calamine lotion and bitters? Fine, but the show's coming back anyway so you may as well be on it, right?. Hey New York housewives and other ladies! They want you! Just as they did with the original Orange County version of this Bravo series, the producers are adding more characters to the upcoming season. They would like to talk to you if you are "a high rolling social butterfly juggling the ups and downs of family life along with a high-powered career and a social calendar to die for?" You're rolling and being a butterfly and juggling all at the same time!! You must be ambidextrous or have several arms. Are you the goddess
