SJP And Co Confirm 'And Just Like That' Will End In Two Episodes' Time
'And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex And The City universe is coming to an end,' wrote King in a glossy, art directed statement. 'While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12.'
What this means more plainly is that after 27 years, we'll no longer be privy to the goings on in Carrie Bradshaw's universe after seeing her through six seasons of Sex And The City, two feature films and the three seasons of And Just Like That...
'SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word "final" to overshadow the fun of watching the season' added King, who also wrote Sex And The City. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.'
As the series and entire franchise comes to a close in just two episodes time, many questions remain unanswered with no clear route to what's next for everyone's favourite single girl. Will she venture to England with her brooding British neighbour? Or will she (and Shoe, the cat) remain in her palatial Grammercy Park home?
I can't help but wonder that something different altogether might be on the cards and involves a return (once more for good measure) to 245 East 73rd Street. Only time, and moreover two episodes, will tell.

Meghan Markle faces new legal battle as half-sister Samantha heads to court again
Meghan Markle is gearing up for yet another legal bout with her half-sister, Samantha Markle. The Duchess of Sussex emerged victorious in early 2023 after Samantha had sued her in federal court in Florida for allegedly making 'demonstrably false and malicious statements' about her to a world audience during a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey. Samantha, 60, filed the $75,000 lawsuit after the 'Suits' alum, 44, told Winfrey that she grew up as an only child during her and Prince Harry's bombshell March 2021 interview. Advertisement 5 Meghan Markle is gearing up for yet another legal bout with her half-sister. GC Images Samantha, who shares the same dad as the duchess, claimed the comments subjected her to 'humiliation and hatred.' At the time, a judge at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal in Atlanta, Ga., had scheduled the case for the week commencing August 11. Advertisement However, a recent court filing shows the hearing will now take place on September 9 in Jacksonville, Fla. The Post has reached out to Meghan's reps for comment. Prior to her 2023 filing, Samantha, 60, had previously filed her libel lawsuit against Meghan in late 2022 — two years after the Sussexes quit royal life and moved to the US. 5 Samantha had sued the Duchess of Sussex over revelations made in her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Advertisement At the time, Meghan's legal team had dismissed her half-sister's claims, saying they would 'give it [the case] the minimum attention necessary, which is all it deserves.' Their estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., said in March 2022 that he was willing to testify in Samantha's case. Samantha suffered a major blow the following year after a Florida judge dismissed her lawsuit against the As Ever founder, saying Meghan's remarks were opinions and 'not capable of being proved false.' 5 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview in March 2021. Advertisement 'As a reasonable listener would understand it, Defendant merely expresses an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-siblings,' US District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell wrote in her order. Samantha also wanted the former actress to take back allegations she made against the royal family. Follow The Post's royal family live blog for the latest pics, news, exclusive details and more Meghan's lawyer, Michael Kump, however, said Samantha had no grounds to sue for defamation. He added that the former working royal has a right to voice opinions 'and even criticize' under the First Amendment. The estranged half-sisters had been at odds for years before the infamous interview. 5 Samantha claimed that Meghan made 'demonstrably false and malicious statements' about her to a world audience. CBS Meghan has repeatedly accused Samantha and their father, who earlier this year moved to the Philippines, of selling stories to the British tabloids. For her part, Samantha has continued to take shots at the duchess and brother-in-law Prince Harry as the couple continues putting out documentaries and memories. Advertisement The duo also have a different recollection of their closeness growing up. Meghan previously asserted that she never had a relationship with Samantha and even said in her 2022 Netflix docuseries, 'Harry & Meghan,' that her half-sister has fabricated how close they are. 5 Their estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., said in March 2022 that he was willing to testify in Samantha's case. @tauerbach/Twitter Advertisement 'I don't know your middle name. I don't know your birthday,' she said of Samantha. 'You're telling these people you raised me, and you coined me Princess Pushy? I hadn't had a fallout with her. We didn't have a closeness to be able to have that. And I wanted a sister.' What's more, the mom of two claimed she was in her early 20s the last time she saw Samantha.

Dating Influencer Tells Women to Drop ‘Girl Boss' Attitudes for Men: ‘Don't Nag Them'
Margarita Nazarenko has dating advice for women — and it's a little different from what else is out there. The popular influencer, who has more than 2 million followers between TikTok and Instagram, told Fox and Friends viewers during a Monday, August 4, appearance that women need to stop applying 'girl boss' energy to dating because 'it just doesn't work the same.' 'Chasing a guy down does not get you the relationship that you want,' Nazarenko continued. Her advice intrigued the show's hosts, who asked her to elaborate. Instead of pushing a man to change by repeatedly making demands, she continued, women should 'tell him once what you don't like and then just start looking better.' Maria Georgas' Biggest 'Call Her Daddy' Revelations: From Joey Graziadei Romance to Love Life Now 'The real advice is that men respond well when you tell them once,' Nazarenko continued. 'When you don't nag them, and they will act on it if they like you enough. And women always ask me, 'What if they don't act on it?' Well, then, maybe he's not the guy for you. Because if he liked you enough, he would change.' That isn't too different from the kind of advice Nazarenko often shares via social media — which tends to get big responses from the people who follow her. 'If your man is acting in a way that you don't like, any kind of way that you don't like, and you don't know what to do about it because you've tried crying, you've tried nagging and you've tried everything else in between, I'm here to tell you what to do because the fundamental thing that you don't understand is what boundaries are,' she said in a TikTok video shared on Sunday, August 3. 'Because you think boundaries are making someone act in the way that you want them to act, taking a person and making them different, right? In reality, boundaries are what you will accept around yourself and therein lies the crux of what you don't understand,' she continued before adding that instead of telling their male partners what they can or can't do, 'all you have to do is you set a boundary of what is okay for you, not what the other person can do.' The message prompted a series of comments from her followers, including many in which someone asked for more advice. 'I would love more examples like this as well bc if ur married and u tell him this and he continues to come home late that sounds like a divorce is coming,' wrote one fan. 'I'm not in this situation but I am very intolerant of a lot of things and I'm trying to find a balance bc im getting rid of everyone at this point. The stronger my boundaries get the less people I have around me, family included.' Others, however, weren't as convinced by her perspective. 'Okay, so if you tell him don't come home because you set that boundary, and he doesn't then what? Because this is another limitation being pushed causing another issue,' another fan claimed on the same video. In a second video shared on TikTok July 28, Nazarenko insisted men will not marry a 'pick me girl' who has 'already given him everything that he will get in a marriage.' She added, 'Why sign the contract?' According to her website, Nazarenko is also the author of the book The New Rules: The Ultimate Guide to Being Her. 'Margarita Nazarenko tells it like it is when it comes to women and relationships - and women's relationships with themselves,' the book's synopsis reads. 'A qualified life coach, YouTuber and TikTok sensation, Margarita advises women not only about how to navigate relationships with men, but how to create wonderful lives with or without a relationship. Her message is straightforward: don't expect to have a great life if you're not creating it for yourself first.' Nazarenko grew up in the U.K. and has lived in Australia with her husband and their two children for 15 years, according to an August 3, report from Fox News. Reality Star of the Year Ariana Madix on Surviving Heartache, 'DWTS' and Finding Love Again She told the media outlet that when she was young she wanted to be an actress, but her current career makes a lot of sense for her because it's all about bringing people together. 'What I really wanted to do was connect to people, be on stage and have that kind of connection that I have now,' Nazarenko explained. She began coaching women in love and life after being inspired by author Tony Robbins. 'What I did was, I thought, what really appeals to me and that was expansion and self-expansion and growth like Tony Robbins and doing all that self-work,' Nazarenko explained. 'So I went and I did a life coaching diploma. From doing that, I realized that I love doing it. I started coaching women." Solve the daily Crossword

Margaret Qualley says she has 2 phones to avoid being online all the time — and one doesn't even have cell service
Margaret Qualley, 30, has a simple trick for staying present. In an interview with Cosmopolitan published on Monday, the actor spoke about keeping two phones and how it helps her stay unplugged. "Cell phones are like cigarettes. I'm a big fan of airplane mode. Because opening your phone is also like going to work, you know? I don't have any apps on my phone except Uber, texting, and Maps," Qualley told Cosmopolitan. That way, she feels less inclined to scroll while going about her day —like when in line at the grocery store — and more likely to stay present, she said. "I'm just there, listening to people's conversations. And I feel more immersed in my life," Qualley added. "The Substance" star keeps a second phone at home solely for checking social media. "I have another phone at home that doesn't have cellphone service — it just has WiFi, and I can look at Instagram. We are all definitely too plugged in," she said. In a May 2023 interview with The Standard, Qualley said she isn't a big fan of social media. "I don't have Instagram. I'm not really in that game. It's kind of a lose-lose situation," she said. The actor has since created an Instagram profile. A representative for Qualley did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Qualley is far from the only celebrity rethinking screen time and social media. Actor Mia Threapleton, 24, said in May that her mother, Kate Winslet, made her write a pros and cons list for joining Instagram when she was 14. "The cons completely outweighed the pros for me. That was quite a clarifying moment. Since then, the more time I spend in this world, the more I'm really happy that I don't have it," Threapleton said. Some celebrities have chosen to forgo smartphones and other digital devices entirely. In 2023, Christopher Nolan said that he finds modern technology distracting, so he doesn't carry a smartphone. "If I'm generating my material and writing my own scripts, being on a smartphone all day wouldn't be very useful for me," Nolan, 55, said. Michael Cera, who acted in Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," said in 2023 that he wasn't added to the group chat for the Barbie and Ken actors because he didn't use a smartphone. "I don't have an iPhone myself. … I have a flip phone," Cera said.
