Book publishing group HarperCollins announced that Candace Bushnell, the author of Sex and the City, is writing a teen novel about Carrie Bradshaw’s adolescence.
“I’ve always been interested in exploring Carrie’s teenage years,” Bushnell said in a statement. “Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd – she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene.”
The novel, part of a two-book deal, is due in Fall 2010.
“Well, that year my boyfriend broke up with me, and I decided – oh man, sorry, mommy! – that I was in love with this girl that worked at the Body Shop. I decided that I was going to get her to love me back, and I went out of my way to create a relationship with this girl, a stripper named Nikita. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl – Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing. And lately I’ve been obsessed with Jenna Jameson, but … oh boy.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, Amy Poehler told Men’s Vogue that she will be leaving SNL after the November election (presumably so she can still portray Hillary Clinton) to get ready to prepare for the birth of her baby – and she won’t be coming back!
“It’s gonna be really hard — Boyz II Men hard — to say goodbye to yesterday,” she said. “SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down.”
On the upside, she has signed on for the upcoming Office spin-off, which is set to air sometime next year. And she’s nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for SNL.
Check in this Sunday night to see if she picks up the award!
