The Star is reporting that Matthew Broderick was caught cheating on his Sex and the City wife Sarah Jessica Parker with someone almost half their ages.

The beloved actress was frantically searching for hubby Matthew Broderick one night earlier this year, he was having sex in the city with a gorgeous redhead half his age, the young woman told a friend.

After meeting in a bar, Matthew began text messaging the 25-year-old youth counselor, says the woman’s pal. Soon after, the insider claims, they began seeing each other and things got passionate quickly when they met at the Manhattan townhouse of a showbiz friend.

That kind of explains why we haven’t seen the two together recently, but then again you rarely ever see them together. 

To find out more details about the rumored affair, pick up this week’s Star on stands now.

Maybe seeing themselves on the big screen was too much to take for “Sex and the City” stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. Apparently, soon after the movie’s release, they both paid a visit to Roosevelt Hospital on 10th Avenue for minor surgeries. “Cynthia had a breast augmentation and soon after, Kristin had the varicose veins on her legs removed,” said an insider. “They both made sure they did it on the quietest day of the week.” It could explain why Davis always wears long hems. Nixon, whose rep denied the surgery, could have been disappointed with her topless scene. Davis’ rep had no comment.

Sex And The City’s New York premiere on Tuesday, has prompted a mean battle between the event’s organizers, Radio City Music Hall and New Line Cinema. Fans were furious after discovering 8,000 tickets were handed out for the 6,000 capacity venue, and entry was granted on a first come, first served basis. Many fans waited all day to just get into the event and were turned away. But head bosses at the city’s famous Radio City Music Hall and movie studio New Line Cinema are keen to blame each other for the mishap. A source tells The New York Post.”The movie studio gave out way more promotional tickets than could fit in the orchestra. Radio City managers told the New Line people, ‘You can solve this by opening up the mezzanines, which have 2,700 more seats’ - but they wouldn’t do it.” However, New Line Cinema executives are quick to disagree: “It was Radio City Music Hall making that decision. They took control of the fan line. They turned the fans away.” After the venue’s 6,000-person capacity was filled, 500 ticket holders were escorted to a local theatre for viewing as the remainder were given vouchers to see the film for free when it opens to the public on Friday.

NEW Line Cinema and Radio City Music Hall are blaming each other for the fiasco at Tuesday night’s “Sex and the City” premiere, when more than 1,000 ticket-holders who’d come from all over the country were turned away.

“The movie studio gave out way more promotional tickets than could fit in the orchestra,” said one insider. “Radio City managers told the New Line people, ‘You can solve this by opening up the mezzanines, which have 2,700 more seats - but they wouldn’t do it.”

However, a New Line source countered, “It was Radio City Music Hall making that decision. They took control of the fan line. They turned the fans away.”

After the orchestra section’s 2,900 seats filled up, some 500 ticked-off promotional ticket holders were walked over to the DGA Theater on West 57th Street. The rest were issued vouchers to see the picture for free at cinemas tomorrow.

Meanwhile, those who’ve seen “Sex and the City” are buzzing that its story owes much to widely reported episodes involving Jonathan Tisch and Ellen Barkin. The plotline of Mr. Big getting cold feet before marrying Carrie Bradshaw was inspired by the cancelled 2003 engagement of Loews scion Tisch to stylist Jill Swid.

In the film, Big gets angry when, among other issues, his upcoming wedding is mentioned on Page Six. Tisch got upset when Swid, after promising a small, family-only ceremony, got carried away and created a more lavish event. The publicity-shy billionaire is now happily married to Lizzie Rudnick.

Another scene, featuring the auction of jewelry from an actress jilted by a billionaire, echoes last year’s auction of the jewelry Ronald Perelman gave to Barkin during their ill-fated marriage.

In fact, there isn’t much in the movie that’s fresh. A scene where Carrie freaks out about having a 347 area code seems just like one in an old “Seinfeld” episode.

Wow! Sarah Jessica Parker looked hot last night at the Sex and the City New York Premiere. I mean, she looked really, really good for her. The way her make up is done accentuates her beauty and makes her nose looks smaller, don’t you think? I think Kim Cattrall looks pretty old and Chris Noth’s girlfriend/wife/whatever looks like a caveman… doesn’t she? She gets a pass because she just had a baby. Other than that, I’m not sure what her excuse is.

I would totally be going to see this movie on Friday if it weren’t for me having to move for the next two days. Let me take that back. I’d probably go see The Happening first. Mark Wahlberg is looking good in that movie. I also want to see The Strangers but I don’t know when that one is out. Either way, those beat out Sex and the City. But I DO want to see it. I hope Aiden makes a cameo!

Television star Sarah Jessica Parker nagged her agent to cancel her Sex And The City contract after she signed up for the famous role.The talented actress was enjoying life working in and out of various New York City projects and baulked at the prospect of being tied to a Television show for an entire series. Her anxiety reached such a point, she called her agent in a panic and urged him to talk Sex And The City bosses out of recruiting her. She says, “I had a wonderful life in New York. I was doing theatre and movies, had plenty of free time and regularly saw my friends - so I was in a panic when I was told that I’d need to be around for regular filming.”No one could calm me down. I kept thinking, ‘What can I do to escape?’ I’d call my agent, begging, ‘You have to get me out of this. I don’t care what it takes. Even if I’m broke on the street, I can’t do Sex And The City as a series.’” However, she’s relieved she didn’t act on her irrational fears, following the show’s phenomenal success. She adds, “The result, of course, is that they got me on the set for the first day and I never looked back.”

There may be a problem with a film when a narrator constantly tells you the meaning of what you have just seen, gift-wrapping each scene with a moral.

There may be a problem with characters who shop with such conviction while the audience looks up from the trough of a credit crunch.

There may be a problem with stretching Sex and the City into a two hour and twenty minute film - it can feel like a never ending dinner party: however pleasant the courses, after a while you can hardly eat another one.

None of these problems seemed apparent to the women who sat around me in the cinema in Leicester Square, laughing and weeping in quick succession. After a while I began to reason like one of the characters: maybe the problem was me.

Everyone else, being in possession of more than one X chromosome, seemed entirely satisfied by what they were served.

The dialogue was still sharp even if, to an audience now rather more used to women characters talking frankly about sex, it may no longer seem so daring.

There were still attempts to shock. Now they were talking about sex in front of a child, referring to the act euphemistically as “colouring”. How often did Miranda do colouring? Not nearly enough. Samantha, the goddess single of older women, of course liked to use all the crayons, while Carrie Bradshaw, our narrator and lead, said that when Big coloured “he doesn’t always stay inside the lines.”

Perhaps the child was needed to remind us that this was shocking, because since the series began, we have all become a lot more grown up.

If the atmosphere inside the cinema bordered on the devotional and the theatre was filled with the sounds of women emoting, outside the atmosphere was hysterical.

New Line, the studio behind the film, had attempted to pacify critics, curious as to why a film in which a major character is the city of New York, should open first in London.

The company claimed that the event would be “much smaller” than the New York premier, but all four women were there in their heels and dresses, and thousands had arrived to see them and scream their names.

Each in turn diplomatically affirmed their love of the city and denied or brushed aside rumours of tensions between the them during filming.

If none of the four actresses has enjoyed comparable success since the end of the series four years ago, the crowds cheered louder than they have for established film stars. Many felt they were welcoming back friends who had lived on their screens for six years and were returning for one last blast.

It was almost as if the director was feeling the nostalgia. The opening scenes are broken up with musical montages, softly lit like Hallmark adverts.

Carrie Bradshaw, (Sarah Jessica Parker), is finally to marry her Mr Big (Chris Noth). The news features in New York gossip columns, she is the forty-year-old bride featured in a wedding edition of Vogue.

The plot twists and turns like that of a pot boiler. Having inspired an entire genre of ‘chick lit’, Sex and the City the film feeds off its own progeny. Is it a film, one wonders, or an extended soap opera, will any of these crises be resolved and, if they are, will it matter, for they will surely soon plunge themselves into another dilemma, for which the only cure is an expansive shopping trip.

At the last, there is at least a brief concession to the meaner times in which we live now. And at the last, does Carrie finally marry her Mr Big? Well, dear reader, I can tell you that she…

A women’s institution

— Philip Treacy designed the hat worn for last night’s premiere by Sarah Jessica Parker. The eccentric British style icon Isabella Blow helped to make the Irish milliner a household name by stepping out in his outrageous designs for more than a decade

— Six seasons of the original television series of Sex and the City were produced on the HBO network between 1998 and 2004

— It won six Emmy awards and eight Golden Globes

— The final episode on Channel 4 in 2004 drew 4.1 million viewers

— The fifth series was cut to eight episodes after Parker and Cynthia Nixon became pregnant

— A black sequined Chanel dress with a price tag of $5,000 was among items of clothing from the series put up for sale in New York

— A channel in Shanghai produced its own version of the series in 2003 called Hot Ladies

And it seems like the same is true for the actress who plays her, Sarah Jessica Parker. While developers of her Coty perfume lines, “Lovely” and “Covet Pure Bloom,” insist that Parker “was never asked to be on the Home Shopping Network because of her schedule,” HSN insiders get the impression that Parker “doesn’t want to ever appear” on the channel. Coty confirmed Parker’s two scents will be hawked on the dial-in shopping channel this month, but say the deal hardly involved her. Company reps told Page Six the “Sex and the City” star approved the deal, but “Coty signed with HSN, not Sarah Jessica.” Parker’s perfume launch is part of a celeb trend segment on the network - but don’t expect to see Jennifer Lopez, Calvin Klein and Gwen Stefani hawking their fragrances, either, to the folks at home.

Cynthia Nixon’s Sex And The City co-star Kristin Davis knew all about the actress’ secret breast cancer battle, because the two friends were together when the diagnosis was revealed. Davis kept Nixon’s secret from everyone, including co-stars Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, allowing her pal to fight the disease in private, as she planned. Now cancer-free, Nixon revealed all about her health crisis recently, insisting only a few close friends knew about the diagnosis. And now she admits Davis was among them - because the actress was at her home when she first learned she had cancer. Nixon says, “I told Kristin because she happened to be at my house.”She stood up in her chair. I couldn’t get her down until I told her everything I was doing and assured her everything was going to be OK.” Nixon is currently celebrating a year of being cancer free after a lumpectomy and radiation treatment in 2006.

Sex And The City Cast

The creators of Sex And The City movie have decided to downsize the film’s world premiere in London England, after coming under fire for not launching the film in New York City. Both the hit television series and the movie were filmed in the Big Apple and the city features highly in all the story lines. And movie bosses came under fire from New Yorkers after revealing the movie will premiere in the U.K., two weeks before it is unveiled in its spiritual home of the Big Apple on May 12th. But now the company has released a statement playing down the London premiere, insisting it will much less high profile than the New York City screening. A spokesman says, “London will be much smaller. The whole cast isn’t even going. We’re still planning the big premiere to be in New York.”

FLAME-haired Cynthia Nixon is letting some of the “Sex and the City: The Movie” secrets slip out. At the Creation Nation comedy show at the Zipper Theater Tuesday night, Nixon told host Billy Eichner, “a character dies in the movie” - but refused to divulge which one. One audience member told Page Six, “Cynthia explained that she was too busy as a child actor to experiment with girls to realize she was a lesbian” - to which Eichner responded, “as an actress you started out very young, but as a lesbian you started out very old.”

Cynthia Nixon, known for her role as feisty attorney Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City, revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago.

Nixon, 42, said she had gone for her “completely routine mammogram” in 2006 when she got a call from her gynecologist.

“She says, ‘Well I have some, it’s not such great news,’” Nixon revealed on Good Morning America Tuesday (Watch here).

Even though she said she felt “scared … I was very cognizant of it,” Nixon said. “If it’s going to happen, this is the best way for it to happen - that it’s found so early, and we can just get right on it.”

Nixon said she “made a big point” of telling her two children she had the disease. (Nixon is currently dating NYC-based activist Christine Marinoni, following a 2003 split from beau, Danny Mozes.)

“I basically told them they found some cancer in my right breast,” Nixon recalled saying. “It’s very small and it’s very early.

“I’m going to have an operation, they’re going to take it out, and then we’re going to have six-and-a-half weeks of radiation, every weekday,” she went on. “This is what grandma went through, and I’m going to be fine.”

Nixon — who said she kept her diagnosis private because “I didn’t want paparazzi at the hospital” — revealed that her mother had also overcome breast cancer.

“As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor,” knowing my personal risk made me more aware and more empowered when I faced my own diagnosis,” she said.

Despite  all the photos we’ve seen from the Sex And The City movie set, and all the rumors circling around about plotlines and marriages and  dream sequences, fans of the show are still in the dark regarding what lies in store for the four aging heroines. And expressing any interest whatsoever is somewhat embarrassing, since caring about the futures of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte has become slightly de rigueur as each passing year post-finale makes SATC episodes look more and more ancient and silly. But for those of you who feel no shame in wondering what happens in the big-screen version of the girls’ lives (at least in the privacy of your own cubicle or home), the NY Post has provided a few spoilers to satisfy your curiosity. More info after the jump; warning, it’s spoiler heavy.

1) The Big/Carrie Engagement and Charlotte Pregnancy Rumors Are True: Whether or not the wedding scene featuring a psychotic peacock hair piece and Bride of Frankenstein dress is only part of a dream sequence, sources tell the Post  that Carrie does in fact get engaged to Big. And despite adopting a trendy Asian baby, Charlotte does manage to get knocked up once and for all. Even more interesting in the realm of plotlines, Miranda and Steve’s blissful Brooklyn marriage hits the skids over claims of infidelity. Which makes sense in a My Wife Likes Girls kind of way, we hope.

2) There Will Be Stunt Cameos Galore: New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg may have given up on that whole Presidency thing, but he hasn’t thrown in the acting towel. The billionaire mayor is only one of several New York-y cameos, including some by co-star Jennifer Hudson’s Oscar night ruiner Andre Leon Talley of Vogue, and the indecipherable fashion world darling, photographer Patrick Demarchelier. And though we’re sure their on-screen presence is big and beautiful, we find it hard to believe that stiletto-wearing fans in the Bible Belt will know who the hell they are.

3) You Will Not Be Able To Afford A Single Thing You See: Longtime followers of the girls’ diamond-decorated lives have always been frustrated by Carrie’s ability to don designer gowns and afford spacious apartments on the Upper East Side on a freelance writer’s salary, and the girls’ lifestyles are even more mythical in the movie. We’re talking YSL gowns, beach houses in LA, and the fact that “every day the girls wore real jewels estimated at $2.5 million.” Who knew putting out a book of old newspaper columns could rack in the dough? Think we could finally buy up Barney’s by scraping together a few blog posts on Scientology and bikini pictures? We’re looking into it.
