John Corbett has some advice for cheating men

The 30th Annual Carousel Of Hope Ball
MSN’s Wonderwall has a new interview with John Corbett, Aiden on Sex and The City 2: Hell in an overpriced handbasket. Corbett, 49, has been dating screen siren Bo Derek, 53, for about eight years. They live together on a 10 acre ranch in Santa Ynez, CA, about three hours outside of LA, where Derek breeds horses. In an interview with Hello! in November, 2008, Derek called Corbett “so much fun,” and said she was “very happy” with him. She wouldn’t say much about their relationship, but said that when she first met him she felt a “powerful” and “instantaneous” connection. They have no children, and Derek said that’s fine with her and that she doesn’t regret not having kids with Corbett or with her late husband, John Derek, who died of heart failure in 1998.

All this is lead up to the fact that Corbett has some pithy advice for men who can’t keep it in their pants. I kind of love this interview and can picture him saying it with that cute half smile of his:

On Big vs. Aidan:
“[Those fans] are yelling for Big when they should be in the Aidan camp! I’m going to shoot them with a water gun mixed with a little cayenne pepper!”

On which female character he most relates to:
“I guess I’m a little prudish in my real life so … Samantha. She’s a prude. I don’t know … I guess I’m more analytical, so I’d probably be more like Carrie. Yeah, I think so. I’d have fancy clothes, and I’d be as skinny as I can be.”

On admiring his own character:
“Aidan’s just a good guy. There’s not a whole lot of good guys left. I don’t think he’s a liar. He’s definitely a one woman guy.”

On how men in Hollywood should learn to stay faithful:
“They ought to stick with me. Let’s get together, drink a few whiskeys, and I’ll teach them how to mind the Johnson.”

On his secret about how to ‘mind the Johnson’:
“Don’t let the lizard out of the cage. If you just don’t let the lizard out of the cage, you’re going to be all right.”

I was always team Aiden when it came to the original TV series. I honestly don’t give a sh*t about this movie, though, and given the terrible reviews I won’t see it until it hits DVD or maybe ever. On the show, I didn’t think Carrie was good enough for Aiden or even particularly his type. She was just so fussy and wasn’t ready for the kind of commitment he wanted. That’s why she ended up with hot and cold Big, who was so commitment-phobic he abandoned her on her wedding day over a lame excuse. All that talk seems kind of moot, though, because from what I understand this second movie is going to all but ruin all our memories of a decent series and make us forget why we even cared about these characters in the first place.

    Ahh. Bo and John make a very nice couple.

  2. Ursaline says:

    Who else thinks it would be hysterical to see Jesse James walking down the street, muttering to himself, “Don’t let the lizard out of the cage. If you just don’t let the lizard out of the cage, you’re going to be all right”?

  3. vi says:

    anyone else think the “skinny as can be” comment was a dig at sjp? not that i care. i quite like JC in other movies and not really fussed on sjp or anything sex and the city

  4. Melinda says:

    *swoon*

  5. yourmom says:

    Ursaline, that is the funniest mental image! Hahahahaha!

    Is it wrong that I also picture Jesse punching himself in the dick? “Bad lizard! Bad, bad lizard!”

  6. Sumodo1 says:

    John Corbett and Bo Derek. They don’t need to cheat. They have the best of everything. I adore him, I even cheer for his Applebees voice-overs. He is swoon-worthy.

    Ha! yeah, only his lizard would be tattooed and riding a harley. The Geico Gecko on crack (and crack whores)

  8. Team Bethenny says:

    I’ve liked him since that Alaskan show…forgot the name, but not him.

  9. lucy2 says:

    You guys are cracking me up!

    Even though he was too good for Carrie, I was always team Aidan too – cute, successful, nice, and handy.

    JC seems like a good guy, and what he said is funny AND true, I hope he means it. They seem like a happy, mellow couple, and they’re smart not to talk about their relationship too much.

  10. Celebitchy says:

    @Bethenny – Northern Exposure! I loved him on that show too.

  11. Gwen says:

    I’m a Mr. Big girl myself but John sounds very nice and he looks a lot better with the short hair IMO. He and Bo makes a hot couple 🙂

  12. sdcs says:

    wow-bo derek looks fantastic at 53. And normal. Normal looking gets you extra points, these days….

  13. Mrs Odie 2 says:

    He said “Samantha’s a prude.” Surely he meant Charlotte.

  14. DrM says:

    He was great on Northern Exposure…that and North of 60 are two shoes I miss a lot…can’t even seen them in re=runs over here! (over here being NZ)

  15. Sonja says:

    Love him! Always have been my top dream fantasy guy!

  16. Lisa says:

    “Is it wrong that I also picture Jesse punching himself in the dick? “Bad lizard! Bad, bad lizard!” ”

    Hilarious!

  17. Lala11_7 says:

    I’m sorry…that story line with Aiden was the ONLY ONE IN THE SERIES THAT WORKED MY LAST NERVE!!!

    I mean…there are men that you have hot FLINGS with…

  18. xxodettexx says:

    i was always team aidan

    and now i am Team Do Not Waste a Minute on These Atrocious Movies

  19. GrnMtGirl says:

    Team Aiden!!

    JC is totally hot and I also liked him since his work on Northern Exposure.

  20. Red Folder says:

    I think he’s lost the Hot that made him so Hot.

  21. Strawberry says:

    Love him on United States of Tara. Great show…

  22. Bella Bella says:

    If I could only change him into a Democrat or at the very least an Independent then my dream man would be realized.

  23. Kelaa Khaa says:

    I wonder who uses more botox?

  24. original kate says:

    woof.

  25. Allie says:

    I just associate him with the ads for Applebye’s now, he does the voice overs.

  26. rkintn says:

    I actually got to meet John, and his band members, after a show he did in Jackson, TN a few years ago. He’s just as hot and nice in person as he seems on screen. He was very professional without being stand offish at all. The venue wasn’t very big at all and they all stayed and signed autographs for everyone who wanted them. He even gave out a few hugs:)!

    So, yeah, I’m team John/Aidan all the way! Good for him for keeping the lizard in the cage lol I’m sure he doesn’t want to lose the lovely lady he has at home.

  27. RobN says:

    That dumbass outfit in the still from the movie makes me wish some local fundamentalist would stone the crap out of her. Seriously, who travels with that? Both Aiden and Big would have been smart enough to stay the hell away from her.

  28. DetRiotgirl says:

    I never liked Carrie or Big. So, I felt they deserved each other. I agree, Aiden was too good for her.

    Wow, Bo still looks amazing!

  29. RHONYC says:

    i love john corbett! he’s a man’s man.

    he and bo remind me of me and my guy.

    i’m 4 yrs older, and he’s the same height & build like jc.

    my guy’s definitely an ‘aiden’.

    just a good, good guy through & through.

    plus, he keeps his lizard in his cage. lol!

    except for our ‘cave days’, of course. *inside joke* 🙂

  30. Maritza says:

    I had no idea these two were together, how great is that! They look awesome, he is so tall and handsome and well Bo Derek has always been gorgeous.

  31. dj says:

    I loved him so much on Northern Exposure but I think I may love him more now. I have to agree … he was way too good and stable for Carrie. HOT!

  32. Tia C says:

    I feel the same way as Lala11_7! The Aiden storyline bugged the crap out of me. Aiden and Carrie were a TOTALLY mismatched couple. He was so annoyingly perfect and healthy, not a good match for her neuroses.

    The only storyline on the show that bugged me more than Aiden was the Alexander Petrovsky one. Baryshnikov was great of course, but what a pompous character! Ugh, I could not STAND it when Carrie was wasting her time with him. I hated almost the entire Season 6 because of that. Until Big finally claimed his girl… 🙂

  33. fizXgirl314 says:

    He’s wearing way too much make up in that second to last pic… Looks like a texas hooker or drag queen lol j/k

  34. telesma says:

    @Ursaline – Freaking hilarious. I’d pay good money to see that.

  35. DD says:

    I didn’t regularly watch satc, but from what I saw Big was a big jerk. From the looks of it, I gathered Carrie’s desperation for Big was all about his rejecting her. I know a few girls that had that kind of relationship, where the guy walked all over them, left them repeatedly, and as quick as a phone call they’d be right back in.

  36. Kali says:

    I thought Aiden was too good for Carrie. Carrie is a neurotic, ungrateful, vacuous character and she was so selfish! I don’t know what John Corbett is like in real life but he seems like a decent guy.

  37. Mae says:

    I fell in love w/ John when he did the commercials for Ford. I think he is absolutely adorable!!! But it’s his voice that first got me. I liked him in Raising Helen. That movie always makes me cry. But he looks so good in it.

  38. blinditemreader says:

    He lurked around my hometown for a movie. He’s a massive cokehead and I’m sure if I asked around I’d hear an infidelity story or two. I mostly recall being told what an ass he was.

  39. Confuzzle says:

    That still looks like it’s shot in an enclosed set, indoors.

  40. Aitch says:

    He’s gorgeous.
    I know several women who said they quit watching SATC when Carrie broke up with him. Wasn’t it over the stupid engagement ring?

  41. Orbit says:

    “Don’t let the lizard out of the cage”? That’s his advice? OK, I have some equally useful tips: Cut the lizard off. Never leave home. Become a monk. Don’t bathe.

  42. Lindsay says:

    She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named – Don’t bring the Gieco Gecko into this. I love him. He in no way would ever be associated with Jesse James. Part of the reason I have Gieco insurance. I love him and he would never do crack!

    Sadly, I’m only partly kidding.

  43. Naomi says:

    Did he call Samantha a ‘prude’?
    The character with the most active sex life?

    Must be thinking of Charlotte.

  44. Ana says:

    “Wasn’t it over the stupid engagement ring?” I think it was more about the fact that she finally realized they weren’t right for each other and didn’t really know each other. Or accept each other, they wanted to make the other into the partner they wanted. I am not sure if that made sense, I am drunk.

  45. Slymm27 says:

    Well i might be drunk as hell right now, but i can swear this man has been poking his lizards in many strange places. He is a man afterall isn’t he. Saying cage the lizards to men, is like saying don’t eat. Just wait, the cheating stories will soon be out.

  47. DiMi says:

    Wow, He really insults SJP/Carrie by saying being like her would mean: “I’d have fancy clothes, and I’d be as skinny as I can be.” Ouch. He’s basically calling her shallow and weight obsessed.

  48. Umm..... says:

    So sorry ladies. I met him in person after a show in Atlantic City and Aiden is just a character–NOT the real guy. John Corbett was my super top celebrity crush. And in person? Let’s just say I didn’t realize he was in a relationship. And when he suggested this young 20’s girl and I, 30-ish do him and his roadie, I guess he forgot to mention it. Or when I kissed him. Or when he said something he’d like to do to me that made my jaw drop and my mouth agape.

    The other girl and I said, “This is NOT Aiden” and called it a night. After meeting him, I have a policy not to introduce myself to any celebrities I meet. What a shame. I would have seen this movie just because I was a huge SATC fan like most every other woman but I’m not sure I can stomach him.

  49. wonderful says:

    I co-sign the above poster. I live in Canada, where they shoot a lot of movies for cheaper, and they think they are on the DL even when they are in a populated club. This guy has been in town. He lets that lizard out every chance he gets.

    can I put up your place up to my wordpress weblog? I will add a oneway link to your forum. That’s one really nice post.
