Moving on to more genuinely startling matters… Seems that, contrary to popular opinion, Kim Cattrall really isn't like her toyboy-chomping 'Sex and the City' character Samantha. Despite her 29-year-old boyfriend.

Sure Kim's 51, but she definitely wasn't in any great rush to hook up with a man 22 years her junior. "I thought: 'Am I copying Samantha? This is ridiculous. I can't be doing this,'" admits Cattrall. But, Canadian chef Alan Wyse had other ideas.

"He just would not take no for an answer and I'm so glad he didn't." Aah!

Plus — horrors! — Kim's already talking about a 'Sex and the City' sequel. Say it's not so…

"It was a blast to make and I hope we get to come back and make another," says Cattrall. And her co-star Chris Noth (aka Mr Big) has already remarked: "I imagine if it made a lot of money, they'd want one."

"I don't know where Sarah [Jessica Parker] stands on that; it's sort of up to her. I'm just riding her coattails!" laughed the diffident Noth.

So, you all off to see the first 'Sex and the City' big-screen installment? Me, I'm torn. I get why the whole thing's so popular — but the show just used to drive me nuts whenever I watched it. "Designer shoes! Ooh!" and variations on that theme seemed to make up fully half of the dialogue.

I just don't think Carrie's half-baked musings and the foursome's vapid consumerism is quite worthy of my shelling out the very-nigh-on R100 a single movie ticket generally costs in New York.

But, hey, I can think of a worse idea than that — like getting back with not-so-hot-prospect American football star Tony Romo. That's just what Jessica Simpson's doing, though. Despite all those reports that Tony was out on the town at the start of their last split (before Jess even knew about it!), discussing graphic details of their sex life with his friends…. Nice.

Still, in fairness, Tony may have had a reason to be somewhat die moer in. In fact, word has it that he's agreed to get back together with Simpson only on condition that her weird father butt out of his life.

Apparently, the former pastor turned over-involved manager for his two lovely daughters, Jessica and the newly-married (and oft-reported to be preggers) Ashlee, is unbearable for Romo.

According to a chum of Tony's: "He made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad, Joe, had to seriously back off." That means no more of Papa Simpson trying to tell Tone how to manage his sports endorsement deals, and his life in general.

Amazingly, though no-one seems to be telling Sienna Miller how to live her life, she appears to be getting the hang of doing it sans quite so many screaming fights in public and general loutishness. Perhaps her Welshman, 'Nottinghill' actor Rhys Ifans, really is good for the woman.

Thing is, I'm just not sure that this engagement is going to make it all the way down the aisle. Sure, Rhys did get third-time-lucky, when Sienna finally said yes to him — but I can't help thinking the magic is waning. All the talk that they've actually split up isn't helping either.

Pre the break-up speculation, the rumour was that the pair was going to tie the knot in the next month or two, but they just don't sound super-excited about the whole spending-the-rest-of-our-lives-together thing. "I'm not marrying Sienna this summer [winter in SA, of course]," says Rhys. "I'm taking a break at the moment and just want to chill out." Hmm.

And Sienna's comment? "I am in love," she assures us. "Rhys and I are the best of mates and life is going great." The best of mates? Just doesn't sound like loved-up fiancée talk to me. But, hey, perhaps they really will go through with it — I'll keep you posted.
