Sarah Jessica Parker the Latest Celebrity to Weigh In on Girls

The actress who portrayed Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City would like to disavow responsibility for the latest four-ladies-talkin’-in-a-ribald-manner HBO comedy. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sarah Jessica Parker said ”It’s a very different show.”

As The Observer was led through the bowels of the Met, silent except for a distant industrial hum, we had no way of anticipating the scene that would confront us when we emerged in the main lobby.
