'Sex And The City' Sequel: Spoiler Alerts

When we last left the fearsome foursome, Big and Carrie had gotten married after all, this time in a smaller, private wedding, instead of a public spectacle. Charlotte was happily married to Harry and gives birth to a sister to her adopted daughter. Samantha had beaten cancer and broken up with her hot boyfriend, Smith, and has moved from Malibu to New York. And Miranda had reconciled with Steve, after learning he cheated on her. By the end, they are all one big happy family again.

But movies can't happen without conflict. Here's what we know about the sequel, gleaned from the Interwebs (what did people do before the Interwebs, we wonder?) Major spoiler alert. Major.

--Release Date: May 28, 2010. Just in time to kick off the summer.

--There's some sort of 80s flashback scene. Stylist Patricia Field must be having a ball. Photos of Kim Cattrall (Samanatha) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) have surfaced of the twosome looking kind of fearsome. Cattrall was sporting a big frizzed out punky do', skin tight leopard print jeans, a denim vest, and red-hot ankle boots. (Funny, we'd probably wear that outfit, today). And Carrie's been spotted looking rather Flashdancey, with an off-the-shoulder top and a curly fro. She also apparently went through a Madonna circa-Desperately Seeking Susan phase (tutu, tights, black rubber bracelets, all present and accounted for). Charlotte is, of course, tried-and-true preppy, with the sweater over the shoulders.

--Love and Marriage... For Stanford? Carrie's gay BFF Stanford (Willie Garson) may be the next one at the altar. And he's marrying another favorite of the ladies, Anthony Marentino (Mario Cantone), the event planner who helped Charlotte pick out her wedding dress. The rumored performer is none other than Liza Minelli. (Of course!)

--Big having money trubs? One of the rumored plot lines is that the Carrie-Big union is having trouble, but this time it's due to money, not love. The businessman's money problems threaten Carrie's ability to buy an endless supply of Manolos (Does anyone know what he actually does?). He moves to London where he lives in a one bedroom apartment.

--Carrie's Preggers? In the midst of the money crisis, Carrie might also be pregnant. Will she be able to carry a baby wearing those six-inch stilettos? --Exotic Locales Reports are bubbling that some scenes will be shot in the Mediterranean, specifically Morocco, where it is reported that Big will be trying to recoup his busted finances.

--Samantha is menopausal? Will Samantha's insatiable sexual appetite be slowed by the "change"? One report has her discussing with an assistant, a "testosterone run" to the pharmacy. (Ladies in the midst of menopause frequently turn to the hormone for relief for hot flashes and to heat up their waning sex drive.)

--Harry's a cheater? Say It Ain't So. Harry keeps disappearing, leading Charlotte to suspect that he's cheating; but, the big surprise is that he's actually been seeing a contractor to build Charlotte her dream princess palace. We love Harry.

--Miranda Switches Careers? The tough-nosed legal eagle Miranda might be dumping her high-powered career for a shared dream with Steve: opening a pizza parlor. First, a baby, then Brooklyn, now pizza pies. Miranda, my how you've changed!

--New Faces. Reports of English actor Max Ryan joining the cast have fueled whispers that Samantha is going to get a new lover. His character is a European architect named Rikard. Intriguing. In addition to Liza, it's been reported that Miley Cyrus will have a cameo.
