Sex and the City 2 to Cancel Filming?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Is it true that there’s a storm brewing in the horizon? SJP and Kim Cattrall, both stressed on the set, still can’t get along? Crew says filming is not anymore fun and is always awkward.

According to OK! magazine, the feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall isn’t over, and is actually threatening to derail production on the new movie.

A source told the mag: “While the cast is all smiles on the outside, the level of dislike is unbelievable. No-one is having a good time on this shoot.”

On top of this, Sarah Jessica Parker seems to be struggling to balance her role as Carrie Bradshaw with her duties as a mother to son James and new twins Marion and Tabitha.

“The crew have taken to calling her ‘Carrie Sadshaw’. When she doesn’t have to be ‘on’ in her scenes, she looks so sad,” added the source.

Kim Cattrall is lashing out reports that she and her “Sex and the City” co-stars don’t get along on the set, but admits she doesn’t want to spend her time off the set with them.

The actress has been quoted by marieclaire.co.uk as saying, “Do you get along with your colleagues all the time? If you’re spending 18 hours a day at work, the last thing you want to do is go and have a drink with the people who you just spend the day with. You just need to get away.”

Cattrall, 51, also defended her action of why she asked for a bigger paycheck in the upcoming movie of the hit HBO TV show. She admitted she complained about the difference in wages between the show’s main star Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the girls, but she insisted she deserves a better offer, as co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon also do.

She said, “I never expected to be paid what Sarah was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don’t ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued.”

Is there going to be a flashback scene? That should be fun.

Urameshiya Part Deux

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

It was another long weekend. This time we did not make any out-of-town plans and enjoyed Manila in its relaxing and calm condition. Friday night weather was made for sleeping in. Thursday evening was spent with my friend Chai at Jalapeño. It was a girl on girl tête-à-tête over delish Mexican food. She left later that night for Baguio (came back Sunday night) but met up with me first to get last minute tips for her trip to Vietnam –Cambodia last Monday. She’s repeating the trip Bubba and I had during the Holy Week break. Too bad she was only going to Phnom Penh. I would love for her to experience Angkor Wat and the Hub Street at Siem Reap.

It rained hard Thursday night. I slept at 4am Friday because I was up all night watching The Greatest American Dog. I finished the whole season in one sitting! I loved it to bits –the show’s concept, theme per episode, challenges that match with that week’s theme, casting and especially the loyalty of the dogs! With the heavy rain and thunders, 3 episodes made me weep silently in the cold room. I love it so much I can’t wait for Star World to show the next season.

Anyone here who watched the series? Who was your favorite? I have two!

I digress. Friday afternoon was spent playing briefly in the tournament. Right after, I visited Big Ace in Shaw Boulevard for the first time. They have an early bird rebate, which is quite a witty strategy to mobilize early players. After three hours of playing while Bubba gets a haircut, his watch and a mall roundabout, he picks me up for a Friday night dinner date.

We wanted to brave South Super Hi-Way and go for a “south food adventure,” but I thought of going back to Little Tokyo. It hasn’t even been two weeks yet and I am heeding to the call of Urameshiya. The two weeks felt like months as I have yearned to be back and taste their beef the very next day. And so off we went to Makati.

On the Table

Takoyaki PHP 100

This was ordered from the other restaurant.

I want to try the Okonomiyaki too at Kagura as recommended by my former intern Eisen, but saved it for another day.

Tarafoku Set PHP 1,850

I wanted to order the Wagyu set but my eyes bulged out at the sight of the new menu price. Previous price was at PHP 2,800 and now it’s PHP 3,300. I deliberated but since it was Bubba’s treat, I went to the safe and more economical side and ordered the same Tarafoku set which is also more expensive by PHP 200.

The quality of beef is still superb. Bubba did most of the cooking although I wanted to help out. It seems like he was enjoying himself with the thong and the plates of various meat. Amiable service from the wait staff is still consistent in its efficiency and promptness.
