Sex and the City was all about the sexual exploits of Carrie Bradshaw and her pals. Those romances also helped Carrie make a living. She documented her dates and relationships in her weekly sex column. You would think the column would eventually create tension in her relationships. While it didn’t happen often, Carrie’s love life was impacted by her columns on a couple of occasions.
Bill Kelley broke up with Carrie over her column
During the first two seasons of Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw’s love life centered mostly around Mr. Big and a few one-off dates. While Big had read the column, he didn’t seem outwardly fazed by it. The first time Carrie’s column interfered with her love life happened in season 3.

Law & Order Svu‘s Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler have been shipped together for years, now. Mariska Hargitay has been fielding questions about the two characters coming together almost since the show’s inception. But lately, she’s grown more fascinated with another kind of shipping.
Mariska Hargitay reveals the kind of ‘shipping’ she wants ‘Law & Order Svu’ fans to really focus on Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay | Eric Liebowitz/Getty Images
Hargitay and Meloni’s characters have been involved in a sort of ‘will they, won’t they’ sub-plot for decades. At one point, this pairing seemed unlikely. Meloni’s Stabler was married with kids, then Meloni would leave the show entirely. This allowed Hargitay’s Benson to explore other romantic interests in the show, which had been rarely touched on before.
Benson’s love interests seldom worked out, however, and the character is still single and married to her work in Svu.

This post contains spoilers for "Unfrosted."
As you might expect from its subject matter, Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted," a film about the creation of the Pop-Tart, is an extremely silly comedy. It's also (very loosely) based on the real-world rivalry between Kellogg's and Post, and since the film chronicles the creation of a new product from a major company in the 1960s, the movie also contains a scene in which Don Draper and Roger Sterling from AMC's "Mad Men" drop by to pitch an advertising campaign for what would eventually be named the Pop-Tart. Yes, after dropping the mic in one of the most famous series finales of this century when "Mad Men" ended in 2015, actors Jon Hamm and John Slattery returned to reprise their most memorable roles in a goofy Netflix comedy.
Jon Hamm and John Slattery are the Ad Men. Watch the entire unbelievable Mad Men reunion in Unfrosted.

For director, co-writer and star Jerry Seinfeld, “Unfrosted” was an opportunity to bring something a little less serious to the entertainment zeitgeist. A humorless life without the ability to make fun of ourselves, he postured, doesn’t make for “good living.”
“Don’t give up laughing and humor and comedy in your life. It’s the best way to get through life,” Seinfeld said. “We all want to not hurt each other’s feelings. But if we go too far, and nobody can make fun of anybody, that’s not good living.”
“Unfrosted” is a fictionalized account of the creation of the Kellogg’s staple Pop-Tarts. The plot takes a “space race” approach, with Post Cereal as the other heavyweight in the fight to be the first to craft the toasted pastry treat.
It costars a kaleidoscope of Hollywood funny people, including Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant,...

[This story includes spoilers for the Netflix movie Unfrosted.]
The buzz around Unfrosted is heating up, with Jerry Seinfeld’s heavily fictionalized Pop-Tart origin story now streaming on Netflix.
Seinfeld, who stars in the comedy movie that marks his feature directorial debut, also co-wrote the project’s screenplay. Contributing to the script was Spike Feresten, who worked with Seinfeld on the legendary NBC sitcom Seinfeld, with Feresten having penned one of the show’s most beloved and quotable episodes, “The Soup Nazi.”
During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Feresten discussed some of the most memorable moments for the film that is set in 1963. This includes a plot point involving the Kellogg’s cereal mascots boycotting the company out of concern that the Pop-Tart will make them irrelevant, which leads to a sequence in which the mascots storm the company’s offices à la the attack on the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers for “Unfrosted.”]
The Pop-Tarts were heated up and soon to pop — if Kellogg’s only had a name for its new toaster treat. For that, Jerry Seinfeld went to the best 1960s ad men he, or anyone, could find: Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and Roger Sterling (John Slattery) of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce — and of AMC’s “Mad Men.”
Who would have thought that Netflix’s “Unfrosted” — a Pop-Tarts faux origin story — would be what got those two back in their single-vented suits? A fantastical (and fantastic) cinematic universe was created, almost by accident. Here’s the not-fake origin story of the film-stealing scene.
“We would take breaks when we were writing this movie and watch ‘Mad Men’ scenes,” the film’s cowriter Spike Feresten told IndieWire. “Jerry had just rewatched the entire [series] again and said, ‘You’ve gotta see this scene.’ And it would play in our meetings like a comedy.

The history of how the all-American breakfast snack was created is served up with lashings of goofiness in this comedy caper
Standup veteran Jerry Seinfeld makes his directing debut with this decent family comedy that puts a surreal twist on the history of Pop-Tarts, one of the US’s most beloved snacks: the sheer goofiness and disposable pointlessness are entertaining.
Seinfeld created the film with co-writers Spike Feresten, Andy Robin and Barry Marder, the same writing team that worked on Bee Movie, the animation that Seinfeld starred in, produced and co-wrote in 2007. Unfrosted doesn’t quite have the flair of Bee Movie, but there’s a steady stream of excellent gags, creating a rising crescendo of silliness similar in effect to Seinfeld’s own distinctive falsetto-hysterical declamation at the moment of ultimate joke-awareness. There are also nice supporting roles and cameos, including an extraordinary dual walk-on from Jon Hamm and John Slattery,...

Post-wwii war crimes thriller Nuremberg boasts a strong leading trio and is set to seek backing at next month’s Cannes Film Festival.
While we don’t have too much on this story, there’s a report that a new project titled Nuremberg is to be revealed at next month’s Cannes Film Festival.
The film will be launching sales at Cannes to try and secure backing to give the film a green light and considering some of the acting talent signed up, we can’t imagine the producers walking away from the French film festival empty-handed.
But first, the set-up.
According to the synopsis (via Variety), ‘Nuremberg chronicles the eponymous trials held by the Allies against the defeated Nazi regime.

Whether it’s the role of Buddy in Edgar Wright‘s Baby Driver or Cyclone in one of the biggest films of 2022, Top Gun: Maverick, Jon Hamm is always one of the most attractive people on set. Similar was the case during his stint in his breakthrough show, Mad Men, which launched Hamm and his costar Christina Hendricks’ career to prominence.
But while Hamm was the most good-looking guy on the set, whose beauty left his costars awestruck, Hendricks’ beauty too became too much to handle for the crew on the set of Mad Men.

Michael Douglas played Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, in the MCU. Douglas has appeared in all three Ant-Man films, starting with the first one in 2015. However, he was not entirely happy working in the latest film in the trilogy since the filmmakers failed to implement his one wish for his character. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a disaster at the box office and it is highly doubtful whether Douglas would appear in another MCU film.
Michael Douglas as Hank Pym in Ant-Man
Douglas’ Hank Pym is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, entomologist, and physicist. He was a friend and colleague of John Slattery’s Howard Stark and Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter. Interestingly, Douglas chose the Ant-Man role after a few failed projects.

Helmed by Seinfeld in his directorial film debut, Unfrosted tells the (artificially sweetened) story of the breakfast food industry’s equivalent of the Space Race, in which cereal rivals Kellogg’s and Post scramble in 1963 to create a pastry — what we now know as the beloved Pop-Tart — that will change the face of breakfast forever.

Bradley Cooper had an often-forgotten role in Sex and the City. While Cooper is known as a movie star now, when he was cast in the iconic HBO series, he was an unknown. The Maestro star has spoken about his time on the set multiple times over the years. For example, Cooper revealed he was terrified on set because he lied about his ability to drive a manual car.
In a recent appearance, Cooper explained that he had a good reason for lying. He once quipped that he assumed he would never land a role opposite Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw.
Who did Bradley Cooper play in ‘Sex and the City’
Bradley Cooper appeared in a single episode of Sex and the City‘s second season. In the episode “They Shoot Single People, Don’t They?” Carrie Bradshaw is despondent after she appears on a magazine cover looking downtrodden and haggard.

Months after scoring his first Emmy notice for playing a fictionalized version of himself on “Jury Duty,” James Marsden is seeking recognition from the Screen Actors Guild for the same meta performance. Since he is, of course, eligible as both a solo actor and cast member, his lifetime SAG Award nominations total could soon rise to seven, with this possibly being his third Best TV Comedy Ensemble outing. Based on the fact that his previous two bids came for his work on as many programs, he now has a strong shot at blazing a trail as the first man to earn SAG ensemble mentions for three different comedy series.
According to Gold Derby’s 2024 SAG Awards odds, the actors from “Jury Duty” are comfortably ranked fifth in the comedy ensemble race with the support of 60% of our prognosticating users. On the Amazon Freevee original, Marsden ostensibly acts as a Los...

Is there any movie with more "movie" crammed into it than "Avengers: Endgame"? As the climax of The Infinity Saga, the film was tasked with capping off a shared narrative spread out across 21 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies released over 11 years. It's a film that goes from playing like the McU's answer to "The Leftovers" to an "Ocean's Eleven"-styled assembling-the-heist-crew flick to a zippy time-travel adventure that sees characters stealthily revisiting their pasts like they're Marty McFly trying to avoid running into himself in "Back to the Future Part II." And that's all before the ginormous third-act battle, in which virtually everyone who's ever popped up in an MCU film before joins forces to collectively wail on the villainous Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his army for a solid half-hour (if not longer).
With so much material to draw from, it's no surprise to learn "Endgame" scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely...

Audible has been killing it with its foray into scripted originals, and its next offering sounds like another winner.
Zero Tolerance, co-written by authors James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski, is set to debut Thursday, August 24.
Hilary Swank is set to lead the voice cast for the project.
The audio drama also stars Christine Ko and Melonie Diaz.
"Sergeant Jo Barnes (Swank) and her elite, all-female U.S. Army investigative team are renowned for cracking complex sex crime cases within the military," the exciting synopsis teases.
"Their latest mission takes them to the Mojave Desert at Fort Irwin Army Base in California, to unravel the mysterious disappearance of Private Nichelle Simmons—a soldier who accused a comrade of assault."
"But when the accused is inexplicably set free, their case takes a sinister turn."
"As Jo, Maddie (Ko), and Luna (Diaz) delve deeper, they encounter resistance at every turn."

According to vampire lore, psychic vampires have walked among us for centuries, a fact that’s made all the more terrifying by their ability to move about in the daylight. These creatures don’t suck blood or turn into bats — they drain their victims’ vitality. In recent years, What We Do in the Shadows’ Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) has become the spokesperson for this particular species, making the more colloquial descriptor of “energy vampire” a known phrase. Now there’s evidence that an even more high-profile energy vampire might be out in the open: beloved actor John Slattery.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “What We Do in the Shadows” Episode 6, “Urgent Care.”]
“What We Do in the Shadows” has never taken pleasure in withholding information from the audience — quite the opposite. Early seasons peeled back vampire lore and unveiled the vampiric council. Season 4 focused on Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as the baby which crawled out of his chest cavity grew into… another Colin Robinson. The Season 5 premiere, after some excellent teasing, answered the question of whether or not Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) had been turned into a vampire, while Episode 3 revealed more about energy vampires with a dazzling guest cast.
Season 5, Episode 6 offers yet another intriguing tidbit about modern-day vampiric existence: familiar urgent care. It’s less legitimate and effective than vampiric bureaucracy, but hey — they’re just familiars. As Guillermo’s vampirism becomes harder to hide, viewers are let in on the secret while the other vampires — especially Nandor (Kayvan Novak) — remain in the dark.

This week’s episode of And Just Like That… picks up where we left off twenty years ago: Carrie Bradshaw and Aidan Shaw are in bed together in a fancy hotel. They can’t seem to get room service delivered, but it seems like they’re having a lot of sex. Later on, Carrie confides in Miranda that she’s having the best orgasms of her life. (No wonder she’s smiling so much).
In true Carrie Bradshaw style, I couldn’t help but wonder… What kind of sex are they having?...

His family shared the news today, saying he had fought the disease for 13 months and passed surrounded by loved ones.
The Cuba-born Coto shared the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy for 24’s fifth season in 2005.

In a sign of a new current of energy infusing Hollywood labor, hundreds of A-list actors sent a bombshell letter to their union leaders Tuesday calling on them to make a “transformative” deal with studios and streamers and expressing their resolve to strike if such a compromise wasn’t reached.
The likes of Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Julia Louis-Dreyfus signed the message in advance of the expiration of their union SAG-AFTRA’s current TV and film contracts Friday night. And after the letter was read by union negotiators and leaders, hundreds more signed on, including apparently Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix and Amanda Seyfried — currently, the letter appears to have over 2,000 signatories, though in the Google Doc copy The Hollywood Reporter has seen, header language cautions that volunteers are in the process of verifying signatures.

A group of more than 400 actors — including Oscar winners Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Rami Malek — are urging SAG-AFTRA leaders to take a harder line as contract talks reach a critical point.
The members sent an internal letter Tuesday to the union’s negotiating committee and the leadership. They emphasized that “we are prepared to strike if it comes to that.”
“And we are concerned by the idea that SAG-AFTRA members may be ready to make sacrifices that leadership is not,” they continued.
The contract expires on Friday, and the leadership has the power to call a strike as soon as Saturday if no agreement is reached.
In the letter, the members urged their negotiators not to settle for anything less than a “transformative deal.”
“This is not a moment to meet in the middle, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that the eyes of history are on all of us,...

Jon Hamm is a married man.
According to multiple reports and images that surfaced over the weekend, Hamm wed actress Anna Osceola on June 25 during a ceremony held at Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, a site that was featured in the finale of Mad Men, the critically acclaimed TV series that made Hamm a star. The location served as a stand-in for the Esalen Institute in the episode, and it has also been seen in The Sandpiper and National Geographic’s Big Sur: Wild California.
Per TMZ, the couple walked down the aisle to the theme song from the 1967’s James Bond franchise entry You Only Live Twice, and they did so in front of a starry guest list that included good friend Tina Fey, (newlywed) Billy Crudup, Paul Rudd, Mad Men co-star John Slattery, Larry David, Brooke Shields and others.

Few television show characters are more iconic than Mad Men’s Don Draper. Jon Hamm played him for 7 seasons and just might have changed television forever. Since then Hamm has ventured into film and exercised his funny muscles. Last year’s Confess, Fletch was a wonderful example of what Hamm can do with good material, and so is his latest, Maggie Moore(s), directed by his friend (and Mad Men co-star) John Slattery. In this episode, he talks about how Slattery worked with him to establish the very specific tone of that film, and what he needs from a director in general. He details how his previous television […]

“Yeah,” Hamm said. “I was down to the very end of that. It was meant to be me, but we had to film the continuing adventures of Mr. Draper.”
At the time, Hamm was still starring as Don Draper in the critically acclaimed drama series “Mad Men”, creating the scheduling conflict.
But the actor explained that he had a direct connection to the character of Nicholas Dunne, because he is also from St. Louis.
“Poor Ben, a Boston guy, had to wear a Cardinals hat,” Hamm joked of Affleck. “He was not very happy about it.”

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film reviews for the new releases “The Blackening,” a tart horror/comedy directed by Tim Story and the mystery comedy/romance “Maggie Moores(s), directed by John Slattery. Both In theaters since June 16th.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
“The Blackening” makes fun of the trope that the African-American character is often the first to die in horror movies by placing an all-Black group of friends in the proverbial cabin in the woods, during the Juneteenth weekend. There are confronted by a masked killer who demands that they rank their “degree of blackness” so that he can determine the correct order in which to kill them, and the cabin dwellers must rely on a combination of street smarts and their own knowledge of black history and horror films to survive.
”The Blackening” is in theaters since June 16th. Featuring Dewayne Perkins, Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg,...

Jon Hamm missed out on a starring role that went to Ben Affleck. But he’s not Mad, man.
David Fincher’s Gone Girl almost went to Hamm over Affleck, Hamm said on Tuesday’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Hamm made an appearance with his Mad Men costar John Slattery, and answered a fan’s question about whether he was slated for the 2014 mystery-thriller.
“Yeah,” he responded. “I was down to the very end of that. It was meant to be me, but we had to film the continuing adventures of Mr. Draper.” Hamm played ad man supreme Draper on “Mad Men,” which ran from 2007 to 2015.
Hamm didn’t get into the nitty gritty of why he had to turn down the role. But a 2015 report from Page Six claimed Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner wouldn’t let him out of his contract.

One of Ben Affleck’s most infamous roles was in David Fincher’s Gone Girl, but it actually almost went to Jon Hamm.
During Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Hamm made an appearance with his Mad Men co-star John Slattery.

“Yeah,” he responded. “I was down to the very end of that. It was meant to be me, but we had to film the continuing adventures of Mr. Draper.”

What better way to beat the summer heat than with a long, pitch-black comedy from one of Hollywood’s indie superstars? If you, like a lot of people, missed this week’s streaming pick when it was in theaters, now is your chance to rectify that.
The contender to watch this week: “Beau Is Afraid“
The latest from A24 prince Ari Aster is too out-there to register with Oscar voters, even though it boasts an impressively literary screenplay and stunning production design. Aster’s three-hour Homeric freakout starring Joaquin Phoenix as a man-child journeying home for his mother’s funeral is the artiest and most divisive of his movies thus far, but it’s well worth the VOD price tag to hitch your own ride on this rambling odyssey. Beware penis monsters and Patti LuPone‘s wrath.
Other contenders:
“Chevalier”: Kelvin Harrison Jr. is going to get an Oscar nomination one of these days.

On paper, the concept of Maggie Moore(s), which premiered this week at the Tribeca Film Festival, is incredibly fascinating: a darkly comedic murder mystery about a bumbling police chief (Jon Hamm) and his wisecracking deputy (Nick Mohammed) trying to solve the mystery involving the deaths of two women who have the same name and were killed around the same time. Add in the fact that it is loosely based on a true story, and you have all the proper ingredients to make the next Coen Brothers masterpiece, and it seems like the film’s director, John Slattery, thought so as well as he takes the Coen Brothers influence and runs with it. I just wished that he ran in a different direction though because the end result is a tonally dissonant, poorly shot and overall underwhelming film.
It is very obvious that the film looked to Coen Brothers’ films...

Fans of quirky, darkly comedic murder mysteries should find Maggie Moore(S) to be a worthy descendant of films like Fargo and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri that is right in their wheelhouse. In a small town that sees little crime, Police Chief Jordan Sanders (Jon Hamm) and his semi-useful deputy Reddy (British comedian Nick Mohammed) find the body of a young woman named Maggie Moore. Her husband is grieving but it’s not clear if he’s sincere. Before they can solve that crime, another Maggie Moore around the same age turns up dead. Her husband also seems suspicious, although for completely different reasons. The two women didn’t know each other, or have any identifiable connection, but Hamm suspects the killings of blond Maggie and brunette Maggie must somehow be intertwined.

If his post-“Mad Men” career has taught us anything, it’s that Jon Hamm is a natural comic actor who happens to be great in dramatic roles rather than the other way around. At the risk of downplaying his exemplary work as Don Draper, the 52-year-old has seemed most in his element in the likes of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and especially last year’s criminally underseen “Confess, Fletch.” “Maggie Moore(s)” finds him somewhere in the middle of the comedy/drama spectrum as a small-town police chief investigating the murders of two women with the same name — an intriguing premise to be sure, but one that Hamm’s “Mad Men” co-star John Slattery, in his sophomore directorial effort, struggles to bring to a satisfying conclusion.
Part of the problem is that it isn’t actually a mystery. Beginning with a title card informing us that “some of this actually happened,...

Don Draper and Roger Sterling have been found dead in a ditch; they’ve been incinerated and thrown into the ash pile of forgettable TV history. Because Mad Men duo Jon Hamm and John Slattery have found new career-defining roles — portraying James Kennedy and Tom Sandoval from Vanderpump Rules on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
The two actors were on hand to promote their new movie, Maggie Moore(s), which Slattery directed and Hamm stars in. But Andy Cohen, brilliant producer, and impresario that he is, roped them...

It turns out Jon Hamm can do a pretty good impression of “Vanderpump Rules” star James Kennedy.
Hamm — who recently confessed he’s a fan of the reality TV show — was asked to star as Kennedy alongside “Mad Men” co-star John Slattery, who took on the role of Tom Sandoval, on Tuesday’s “Watch What Happens Live”.
Kennedy and Sandoval’s season 10 reunion show argument hit headlines, with Kennedy’s “worm with a mustache” and “poo poo head” insults — both perfectly captured by Hamm in the skit — doing the rounds online.
Host Andy Cohen labelled the “Clubhouse Playhouse” segment the “role of a lifetime” for actors Hamm and Slattery, before they launched into the impression.
