KIM CATTRALL SUBTLY RESPONDS TO ‘SATC’ REVIVAL AS HER CHARACTER’S DEMISE IS CONSIDERED – (01/13/2021)

Kim Cattrall made her feelings known without saying a word. A day after news broke that Sex and the City would be returning to HBO Max with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, and without her, Cattrall “liked” a telling tweet about her absence. 

“I absolutely love Sex and the City and whilst I am saddened that Samantha will not return, I applaud doing what is best for you and think this is [a] great example of putting yourself first. Well done @KimCattrall,” the tweet read.

Cattrall has long been outspoken about not loving her experience on the show, or her co-stars, calling out Parker’s fake “nice girl” persona and “cruel” behavior. Meanwhile, Parker tried to downplay the rivalry. Responding to a comment on her post teasing the new project, “Happy to see you back but will miss Kim/Samantha,” the Hocus Pocus star replied, “We will too. We loved her so.”

The 10-episode Sex and the City revival will begin production in the spring.

HOW WILL THEY DEAL WITH HER ABSENCE?

A source tells OK that Parker, Nixon and Davis will be part of decision making process when it comes to the fate of Cattrall’s character, Samantha Jones. “Sarah, Kristin and Cynthia are not just the stars of the reboot — they are also the executive producers, which means the three of them are the boss,” notes the source. “They will get to decide if Kim Cattrall’s character literally lives or dies.”

The source predicts a “very nasty ending” for her.

WHEN DID KIM KARDASHIAN WEST DECIDE TO LEAVE KANYE WEST? – (01/13/2021)

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have not commented on speculation that they’re divorcing, but it’s in the works, according to a new report.

A source tells ET that she has been “done” with him since July. 

“Kim has been over Kanye in a romantic sense for a while but loves him as the father of their kids and doesn’t want to embarrass or hurt him,” the source says. “Her last real attempt to make their relationship work was when she flew to Wyoming in July and she was seen crying in the car with him. After that, she just knew that she had to be done for good.”

As fans may recall, Kim visited Kanye after a political rally in which the then-presidential candidate claimed that she and her momager Kris Jenner were “trying to lock him up.” He also claimed he’d wanted to abort their first child, North.

That did it. “Other than the concern for her own family, Kim takes her career, businesses, and image very seriously and keeps that in mind with all her relationships and choices,” the source shares. “Kanye’s actions have affected all aspects of her life.”

“Kim is able to cut things off more easily … and has reached her limit and she is at a point where she feels like things are done in a romantic sense,” the source continues.

On Instagram, Kim made headlines for publishing pics of herself not wearing her wedding ring, in what many see as public confirmation of the reports.
