Black Folks Fell Hard For Sex & The City, But Did The Big Apple Pay The Price?

I have a female friend who proudly swears she's never seen an episode of "Sex and the City." She might be the only New York resident in possession of two X chromosomes who can make that claim.

The HBO show - which, if you haven't heard, is also a forthcoming movie - was essential TV for millions of women, who took its pro-friendship message as gospel. Unfortunately, the antics of its leading ladies didn't always provide the best examples for their viewers, many of whom continue to worship at the "SATC" altar. Carrie Bradshaw, we're holding you responsible for the following developments, which you and your cohorts unleashed upon an unsuspecting city.

Check out the reasons why New York will never be the same.

BLACK HUNK BLAIR UNDERWOOD SIGNS ON FOR SEX AND THE CITY MOVIE?

Well ... Blair's not quite back yet, but everyone else in the original cast of the TV series has signed on for the big-screen version of 'Sex and the City' so could Blair be far behind? The latest cast member was announced yesterday when New Line Cinema confirmed that Mr. Big himself - aka Chris Noth -- has signed on to the new 'Sex and the City' movie!

Noth played the on-again, off-again love-interest of Sarah Jessica Parker character Carrie's on the hit HBO show and the last time we saw the pair, in the 2004 finale, he told Carrie that she was the one.

In July it was confirmed that Sarah Jessica, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall would be reuniting for a feature film. New Line Cinema is close to sealing a deal to distribute the movie in association with HBO. Shooting is reportedly scheduled to begin in mid-September. So ladies if you want to see more scenes like the one below, ya' better start writing some letters and making some calls.
