Is There Too Much Sarah Jessica Parker and the 'City'?

By Jo Piazza Posted Mar 6th 2010 01:00PM

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't know how to apply makeup in real life, she was shocked and overcome with grief at the death of Alexander McQueen, she still wishes she had become a prima ballerina, her family was involved in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 way back in the day and DC politicos love her in red.

Oomph. That's a lot of information all at once.

See, we know all this because SJP has been ubiquitous for the past couple of weeks. She's one of the celebrity subjects on NBC's post-late-night-wars filler 'Who Do You Think You Are?' She has a new perfume out, SJP NYC, a strong floral aroma packaged in crazy colors and patterns reminiscent of the one and only Carrie Bradshaw. She visited the White House for the National Arts and Humanities Medal Ceremony, attended Fashion Week and penned late designer McQueen's obituary for Time magazine.

This begs the question, since we are nearly three months out from the May release of the much-anticipated sequel to 'Sex and the City,' is Parker jumping the publicity gun, or can fans just not get enough SJP?

It seems to be the latter, since everywhere the lady behind Carrie Bradshaw goes she gets cooed over, adored and welcomed with open arms.

"For a while, we could only catch a glimpse of Sarah Jessica Parker as she shuffled her son back and forth from school in Uggs and winter coats. But lately, the star has been stepping out in all of her made-up, dressed-up glory for various events, thrusting her back into the spotlight," explains AOL StyleList editor Marissa Gold. "With the 'Sex and the City' sequel a little over two months away, many people might assume the star is stepping up her public appearance schedule in order to generate interest in the film. However, my take is that this is simply a busy time of year for the star, who is surprisingly down to earth and un-Hollywood in person."

After three decades in Hollywood, Sarah Jessica certainly knows how to play the game. By timing the release of SJP NYC to early movie chatter, she is riding the buzz bandwagon without entirely stealing the spotlight away from her fellow castmates (I think we all know how that would turn out -- MEOWCH!).

"Now is Sarah's moment. With all the talk about 'SATC 2,' Sarah is being smart and piggy backing all her projects," explains PopEater's "Naughty But Nice" columnist Rob Shuter (ever so nicely!). "After 'Sex,' I'm not sure we will be as interested in SJP. After all, it is Carrie Bradshaw that we all fell in love with, not SJP."

That is certainly true. Parker is so intimately connected to her onscreen alter-ego that any move she makes evokes thoughts of Carrie Bradshaw. So even though it may seem early when it comes to our short-term memory of media, any stepping out by Parker today will probably translate into good will at the box office for 'Sex and the City 2.'

"I think that anytime people see Sarah Jessica Bradshaw (whoops), they automatically think of 'Sex and the City,' so overexposure for her isn't really a problem when it comes to that particular project. I mean, if they were shopping around 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 2,' then we may be needing to worry, but that isn't the case here," says PopWrap's Ryan Brockington.

The votes are in. More of SJP is always a good thing. Please excuse us, we have to go buy some new perfume.

Just saw her on the red carpet. She looks to have an eating disorder or something medical wrong with her. If it is an eating disorder SHAME on her. If it is medical she can afford the best.

I never understood why people watched this show to begin with. I watched one show and that was enough for me. I think that some movies get too hyped up by the producers and media and when you go to watch it you are very disapointed.

S. Parker is and always will be a most unatractive women. There is nothing about her that stands out, she is just " ugly". Harsh or not, I could never understand her preening and prancing around her show. makeup can do so much, but it cannot turn ugly into beauty, it just twists her mind into thinking she is beautiful. It would be a blessing if she would just go away, instead her actions of late only show she just does not get it, downright ugly is always there.You can train a pig to walk backwards and it might look better, with Sarah it is ugly if she even walks backwords,she will always remain a pig
