What's up this Weekend
Posted by Kathy Rowings
It's the weekend women everywhere have been waiting four years for -- Sex and the City: The Movie is finally in theaters. If you don't want to deal with the inevitable crowds tonight but are still in the mood for a little SATC, check out the movie's companion book. It's also out today, and has an introduction by Sarah Jessica Parker, inside info about the multi-million dollar fashion closet, and hundreds of color photos from the set.
I'm heading to Wisconsin for my grandma's 80th birthday celebration (happy birthday, Grama!), but I've got my DVR set for Sunday's premiere of In Plain Sight. The very hot Cristian de la Fuente, who had surgery on his injured arm a week ago, plays crazy on-again-off-again boyfriend to Mary McCormack's U.S. marshal character. We interviewed Mary recently and when we suggested that In Plain Sight could be the kind of hit series The Closer has been for Kyra Sedgwick, McCormack said, "From your mouth to God's ears." McCormack's on a roll; she also earned a Tony nomination for Boeing-Boeing, in which she plays a German stewardess who yells a lot.
To kill time on the plane, I'll be watching John Cusack's Grace is Gone, which came out on DVD this week. It might be kind of a downer -- he plays a widower who doesn't know how to tell his daughters that their mom was killed while serving in Iraq -- but I think anything John Cusack is in deserves a viewing.
I confessed last week that I was a spelling bee champion in grade school, so The National Spelling Bee is as exciting to me as I'd imagine the NHL playoffs are to a former goalie. ABC airs the championship finals tonight at 8 p.m ET.
The sublime Showtime series The Tudors finishes a second season on Sunday with the death of Anne Boleyn. Natalie Dormer, who has given Queen Anne fiery passion, sexual allure and seductive manipulative skill, will be sorely missed when the series returns for a third season. The show can go on, of course, because it is about King Henry, not his many women. The next season will focus on his third wife, Jane Seymour, played by beauty Anita Briem.
