So Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson is going to be playing Carrie Bradshaw's assistant in the movie version of Sex & the City, which is about to start filming in NYC. Let's forget for a moment that an Oscar-winning star is stuck in a bit part (though then again, she does have an uncanny ability to outshine established divas...). But she's playing a sex advice columnist's assistant?! Um, yeah, we'd have a lot more to say on this matter, except that we're too busy peeling our own freakin' grapes.*

Okay, okay, so maybe in the four years that are supposed to have passed between the series finale and the movie, Carrie switches careers and starts her own pet fashion line or something. But given the size of her apartment (not to mention the size of her shoe collection) in the TV show, we're guessing that reality didn't really enter into this script-writing decision. In our world, writing about sex for a living looks more like this. Man, if we had a nickel for every time someone asked us, "So, are you guys, like, the real-life Carrie Bradshaws?" we could probably buy one Manolo each. We're not even the real-life Julia Allisons.

* For the record, we do have two lovely interns, but they do it all for love (and free sex advice).
