SEX in the CITY starring BEA ARTHUR

Imagine "Sex & the City" for seniors. Actually, you won't have to, you can just watch this video. Enjoy your cosmos, girls!

Forever Girly

This is a tribute to Helen Gurley Brown, who left us at age 90. Without her, there would be no Sex & the City, whose characters weren't just cosmo girls, they were Cosmo Girls, the embodiment of the ethos of Cosmopolitan magazine and Ms Brown, its editor-and-chief.

In 1962, at age 40, she wrote the bestselling Sex & the Single Girl, helping to spearhead the sexual revolution. In '65, she was brought onboard at Cosmopolitan, turning the struggling 'zine into a phenomenal success, telling women they could have it all: "love, sex and money!" Feminists like Betty Freidan and Germaine Greer did not support Brown's material-girl approach to women's liberation. Still, it had a hot heyday throughout the '70s, especially.

Below, a very sexy sequence from the film version of Sex & the Single Girl, starring Natalie Wood and Tony Curtis when they were at their hottest. The film is loosely adopted from the book.

Sandra Bernhard Takes on Sarah Jessica Parker, "Sex in the City," Joan Rivers, Kathy Griffin

Sandra Berhard shoots from the hip. She isn't afraid to tell it like she sees it, that's for sure! But, sometimes, there may be a sense of bitterness in her attacks. Judge for yourself in her appearance today on Howard Stern.



Michael Musto commented: "On Howard Stern's show, mouthy comic Sandra Bernhard admitted that she turned down the role of Miranda on Sex and the City.

Batshit crazy?

No, hold on people, hear out her reasons.

For one thing, she says, the script was absolutely horrible.

Secondly, they were only paying $7,500 a week.

And what's more, 'To play third or fourth fiddle to Sarah Jessica Parker and put up with her shit?'

Nyah-uh.

But Cynthia Nixon decided it would be a good move, famously enough.

I guess she considered it a choice."

Only $30K/mo.? I should have auditioned!

Below, she disses other divas in her painfully honest, no-holds-barred manner.
