The Hollywood Lowdown
 

By Julie Nicholson


Chris Noth, we miss him as ‘Big’ on Sex And The City almost as much as we miss the show, ok we miss the show more, but are happy to report that Chris has signed on for 11 episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, as Detective Mike Logan. On a recent trip to NYC I passed Chris at about midnight walking down Central Park West, and is he ever big, literally!

As for the NYC girls look for Kim Catrel in a complete character reversal as a skating coach in the upcoming Disney flick Ice Princess. Kristen Davis was recently seen cuddling with Mowgli, her co-star chimp from her new movie Shaggy Dog. And Sara Jessica Parker is still enjoying being “a girl” in those Gap commercials.

And speaking of NYC if you live there or are planning a visit, don’t miss these celebrity favorite spots in the West Village; Sarah Jessica Parker’s favorite hang out is café Sant Ambroeus, stop by Babbo for Italian and you might be sitting next to Kate Hudson, also a fan of Italian, dining at Da Silvano, is Liv Tylor, and the Olsen twins love the cupcakes at The Magnolia Bakery.

Kirstie Alley takes on Hollywood sexism in her new reality series Fat Actress, a parody on her career about how as she grew, her career shrank. “How can I be too fat if John Goodman and Jason Alexander keep getting work?” She forgot Kevin James,
James Gandolfini.

More on the reality front, talking about The Contender I was asked by a friend who Sylvester Calzone was? Did I mention the friend was 12? And I’d say be on the watch for Farrah Faucets new reality series about her life called Chasing Farrah, but I can’t bring myself to do it. As for Bachelorette Jen Schefft, rebounding from The Bacholor is no way to find love. Lots of roses, many thorns.

So who caught Paris Hilton as Guest Host on Saturday Night Live? A quote straight from the set says “Paris was one of the most self-absorbed hosts ever, she was an energy vacuum on the stage, and her performance was minimally acceptable” ouch! Seems Paris was so narcissistic that some of the SNL cast members actually started a betting pool to see if anyone could get her to be nice to them and ask them a personal question. No one collected. Double ouch!!

And happy birthday to Drew Barrymore who turned 30 this month partying at Soho House Oscar Villa in LA where friends gave her anti-wrinkle cream and a gift certificate for a faux face lift!
