SJP Lines up "Ivy"
Sarah Jessica Parker is lining up her first post-Sex project. The actress is in talks to star in The Ivy Chronicles from Warner Bros..
It really seems like the Sex girls have breathed new life into their careers because the movie was so popular.
It’s the story of a single woman in New York City. Hmmm…sounds vaguely familiar. Ok, but not this next part. SJP would play Ivy Ames, an Upper East Side woman who, after losing her high-powered job and getting divorced, starts over again in a less ritzy downtown apartment.
After pulling her kids from private school, Ames starts a business to help upper-middle-class women get their children into elite kindergartens. And…that’s the charitable cause she picks…? Ok, whatever.
Based on a novel by Karen Quinn, The Hollywood Reporter describes it as a mix of The Devil Wears Prada, The Nanny Diaries, and The Starter Wife. Jerry Weintraub is set to produce.

OMG! I had lunch with Karen Quinn last week while she was in CO promoting her newest book (Holly Would Dream). She said she had BIG news, but that she couldn’t say anything yet.
I’m off to email her … RIGHT NOW!

The book is VERY, VERY funny. So, the movei should be too. Actually, all of Karen’s books are funny. She is a total hoot. And, she’s a lovely person to boot, so any book and/or movie success she gets is more than deserved.
