I’ll bet the stars of the “Sex and the City” movie can’t wait for this film to open so they can move on. The last few months have been non-stop gossip about all four of them, and there are no signs of the rumors slowing down. The latest word is that Sarah Jessica Parker, fresh from being voted Maxim’s Unsexiest Woman, is making demands that the movie posters for “Sex and the City” only feature her character.

Kim Cattrell might be in for a little competition for her title of Most Demanding SATC Cast Member. Sarah Jessica Parker may not be the only star of Sex And The City, but you’ll have a hard time telling her that. According to new whispers from the Rumor Mill, SJP has irritated film bosses with demands that she be the only star featured on promotional materials for the May 30th, 2008 film Sex And The City: The Movie.

“She fought to have the movie poster feature only her,” Star Magazine writes.

“They planned to sell luxury T-shirts and shoes to coincide with the movie’s release, but Sarah demanded that the merchandise be sold only through her Bitten line. This way, the focus will still be on Sarah and she’ll profit from the sales.”

Sarah Jessica is also listed as a producer of the film, and was an executive producer of the show. I suppose if she’s taking the largest share of the business risks for the movie- which, based on the trailer I saw, looks terrible- she should reap the benefits. Even though the actresses all insist that everything was hunky dory on set, Sarah should have known that appearing solo on the movie poster would cause people to talk.

Note by Celebitchy: Sarah Jessica Parker might be taking business risks by producing the film, but she’s also cashing in big time. She’s making $10 million for playing Carrie and another $5 million for producing the film. Kim Cattrall will take home a reported $6 million for being the hold out and negotiating a larger share, but Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are only said to have made $2 million each. It hardly seems fair that they’re not featured on the posters too, since it’s the ensemble cast and the friendships between the women that were the focus of the show, not just Carrie. It looks like her fellow cast members are getting screwed out of the publicity too.

A lot of people think it’s only fair that Sarah Jessica Parker is getting paid so much more than the other actresses since she’s the lead, but $10 million is 5 times the amount some of her equally-important co-stars are getting. Maybe that’s common in the industry.

Matthew McConaughey stars in an ad for Dolce and Gabbana cologne. A jazzy song plays as the paparazzi are shown swarming around him in Paris taking pictures in slow-motion. He takes his sunglasses off, retreats to his hotel room, and then removes his shirt, reclining on the couch while the flashbulbs continue to go off, suggesting that he left the door open.

All I could think of when I saw the ending was the fact that it’s a cologne ad and that doesn’t jibe with McConaughey taking off his shirt. The guy admitted that he wouldn’t even wear natural deodorant when his co-star Kate Hudson asked him to, so must have to slather a lot of that stuff on to kill the stink. The ad goes from black and white to color when McConaughey’s shirt comes off. That must be when the scent hits the room.

On January 28, Britney was photographed in her boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib’s car, with an Ed Hardy designed air freshener and an Ed Hardy energy drink sitting in the cup holder. Adnan is usually seen out in Hardy’s distinctively designed clothing, featuring big old skulls and roses in swirly patterns reminisicent of tattoos. I’m not a fan of Hardy’s clothing, partially because I find it garish, but also since he seems to stick his name all over everything in big scrawling letters as if his style isn’t recognizable enough on it’s own. Hardy is also a large contributor to the Kabbalah cult, which many people say could explain why Madonna was often seen wearing his scary-looking creations.

In Touch suggests in this week’s magazine that Adnan is getting free swag from the Ed Hardy company, and offer a photo of his phone showing a text message from an employee at the company. They quote a supposed insider who says “Adnan is a total freeloader. He doesn’t pay for most of the clothes he wears. They’re given to him on the provision that he wears them when he’s with her [Britney].”

It sounds like a cheap price to pay for free advertising. Lohan was also said to have struck a deal with the Arriva tabacco cessation company to carry their product around and get photographed with it, although she hasn’t been seen out with it lately that I can tell. You wonder what other kind of backroom deals celebrities and their hangers-on are making for product placement in paparazzi photos. It seems like Adnan must be getting some kind of cash for wearing those clothes, but maybe I’m too influenced by the fact that I wouldn’t be caught out in it unless someone paid me. I’d rather wear a $15 plain t-shirt from Target.

I just saw this spot on TV while I was watching Germany’s version of American Idol. It’s a new commercial for all in one telephone and Internet service in Germany called Alice. The scenario is that Brad Pitt’s bike runs out of gas and he goes to this family’s house to use the phone. The mom goes up to the daughter’s room, where there’s a big poster of Pitt, and tells her she’s not going to believe it. The mom then tries to get Pitt to stay by telling him how great their phone service is and getting him to check his e-mail too.

Let me just say that we signed up for Alice and it took about 2 and a half freaking months to install. It’s a lot cheaper than Deutsche Telekom and the service is good, but Deutsche Telekom controls the lines and they drag their feet hooking up any of their competitors. It’s been a bit of scandal here how long it takes to get phone and Internet service if you don’t go with DT.

We did a post a little earlier today with Super Bowl XLII commercials featuring celebrities. Here are the “best” commercials, according to the ones I watched and influenced by AOL’s top ten list. The verdict is that they weren’t that great this year. When a talking baby is up near the top of the list you know you’re in trouble. You can watch all the Superbowl commercials at AOL or MySpace.

The Giants upset the Patriots 17 to 14 in this year’s Super Bowl in what was described as a riveting game. I’m not a real sports fan and am one of those people who watch for the world class commercials. You can watch all the super bowl ads without any of the sports filler in several locations online. Check them out on MySpace, and Sports.AOL.com. The ads I’ve seen so far are decent and funny, but there’s nothing amazing.

Here are some ads which feature celebrities, many of which are movie trailers. Let me know which ones were your favorites among the other ads and we’ll feature those in another post.

Valerie Bertinelli and Kirstie Alley have shilled for diet company Jenny Craig, and now their newest spokesperson will be plus-sized actress Queen Latifah. The company says it wants to focus on a healthy lifestyle with Latifah’s ad campaign rather than go for a traditional weight-loss oriented campaign.

“We officially confirm that Queen Latifah will join the Jenny Craig program in January,” Scott Parker, Jenny Craig’s vice president of marketing, tells PEOPLE. “We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle.”

Parker adds: “Queen Latifah joins forces with Jenny Craig to communicate the importance of how small lifestyle changes, in the areas of diet and exercise, can have positive effects on overall health.”

The Hairspray star, who has consistently celebrated her plus-size figure over the years (including a recent PEOPLE cover story), will have a “very different campaign, focused on a healthier lifestyle, not on getting onto a specific dress size,” says Parker.

It sounds like they are embracing a positive body image and that’s excellent. Queen Latifah has always come across as a confident woman and if you don’t think too hard about it she’s a very good choice for a diet company spokesperson because she seems so normal and down to earth while she’s also able to be glamorous. The thing is, she also did voice-over ads for Pizza Hut in which she told us to “Gather round the good stuff” and stuff our faces, not go for a walk or eat a salad.

There was also a story last year that she attended the opening of a “Fat Burger” restaurant in Miami and sung the fast food chain’s praises, saying “That was part of my Los Angeles education. On Sundays in California everybody would come out in all these low-riders. FatBurger was, like, the centerpiece for it all.”

There’s nothing wrong with liking fast food or becoming a spokesperson for a pizza chain, but are people going to forget Latifah’s Pizza Hut commercials when she’s shilling for Jenny Craig? Maybe admitting you need a diet plan is just a natural extension of too much junk food.

Here’s one of Queen Latifah’s Pizza Hut ads. She’s the voice at the end.

Queen Latifah is shown at the American Music Awards on 11/18/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

Pizza Hut has asked Paris Hilton and her hookup of convenience, Swedish pizza delivery boy and soon-to-be male model Alex Vaggo, to shill for them. They want to create a Super Bowl commercial where Paris plays herself and Vaggo is the hot pizza boy who satisfies two of her cravings in one visit to her mansion:

Paris Hilton might be getting a special role for her real-life pizza-delivery-boy beau, Alex Vaggo. Pizza Hut has asked the heiress to star in a Super Bowl ad with her latest boy toy, a source tells Star. In the ad, which Paris is still negotiating, Alex drops off Pizza Hut’s newest dish to Paris’ mansion, and they fall in love. Talk about art imitating life!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 24, 2007]

This sounds similar to the German commercial where Paris gets bread delivered after looking up the number on the Internet, because she doesn’t want to put on clothes and walk down to the corner to the bakery. The delivery guy is kind of surprised to see her answer the door in her underwear. Here’s that bread commercial:

Vaggo was working as a pizza boy in Gothenberg, Sweden, to earn his fare to America and was staying in a youth hostel in LA when he caught Paris’ eye. She was said to be trying to get him a job as a model, and he may get quite a chance at exposure with this Pizza Hut commercial. The guy is super hot and while some question his mental capacity and sanity at getting involved with Paris, he hasn’t been out with her constantly and could be trying to keep his distance. Paris has since had another fling with Stavros so she’s probably not serious with Vaggo anyway.

Paris and Alex are shown out on 11/28/07 when Paris brought Alex to dinner with her family. Paris started a full-on campaign to get Stavros back right afterwards so I would bet that Alex told her he wanted to take things slow after she brought him to meet her family.

Victoria Beckham has hit back at suggestions that David’s Goldenballs were digitally enhanced for his Giorgio Armani campaign.

She says, “I’m proud I still have a really good sex life with David. He is very much in proportion. He does have a huge one, though. He does. You can see it in the advert. It is all his. It is like a tractor exhaust pipe!”

KGET

I wondered what Beck’s might think about his penis being described this way. Is his wife complaining about the size of the package? Is David embarrassed by public discussion of his privates? Probably not, a man who is willing to pose nearly naked for a global advertising campaign is likely to be very comfortable in his own skin. Maybe David told Posh to say this?

I had a closer look at the pictures of David to see if I thought they were digitally enhanced. I had no idea if the pictures were altered. So I kept looking a bit longer. There was no reason to keep examining the picture, but if you look for yourself, you might find yourself similarly captivated.

Sales of white undies similar to the ones worn in the campaign are up 50% in Selfridges department store in the UK. Obviously David’s Goldenballs are doing their job.

Annie Leibovitz has shot another series of celebrity advertisements for the Disney Parks. Her last set of images drew praise for the creative way it brought Disney fantasy to life. Scarlet Johansson was Cinderella fleeing the ball in a flowing gown, David Beckham was Prince Phillip on his bucking steed, and Beyonce, Lyle Lovett and Oliver Pratt were Alice, the Mad Hatter and the The March Hare sitting on the famed teacups.

The latest photos are equally impressive. Rachel Weisz is a lovely Snow White in congress with the birds and animals, Julie Andrews and Abigail Breslin are fairies, and tennis great Roger Federer is King Arthur removing the sword from the stone.

My son hasn’t gone to Disney World yet, but if grandma has her way he will soon. It’s a fun, extremely well-crafted amusement park, but it’s still a pain in the ass dragging your kid around for an entire day, waiting in line, and walking everywhere. You can put celebrities in perfect costumes and add wind and props and it does evoke a feeling of other-worldliness and relaxation. These photos are beautiful, but if I want a fantasy experience I know I should be going to the spa, not to an amusement park with my family.

Here are the latest advertisements, which will run in US magazines in December. Rachel Weisz and Roger Federer are also shown on set. Thanks to The Daily Mail via ONTD for these photos.
