Parker adopts cat featured in show
This can’t be the first shoe Sarah Jessica Parker has brought home from work.
The “And Just Like That…” star said Tuesday on Instagram that Carrie Bradshaw’s kitty has found his forever home in New York’s Manhattan with Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, at their West Village abode.
The “Sex and the City” icon officially adopted the kitten featured in “And Just Like That…,” Max’s spinoff. On the show, the feline is named Shoe — both because he likes to nestle inside the famed writer’s Manolo Blahniks and just in case she wants to “shoo” him away from her designer heels.
“His off-camera name is Lotus,” Parker wrote alongside an Instagram shot of the kitty. “He and his siblings were all given botanical names when they were rescued as newborns by the (Connecticut Humane Society). Adopted officially by the Parker/Broderick family in April 2023. He joins Rémy and Smila whom we adopted in May 2022. If he looks familiar, that’s because he is. X, SJ.”
The shelter also shared the big news on its Facebook page.
“Some pets get really exciting foster homes while they’re here at the Connecticut Humane Society. Little Lotus got to be on the set of And Just Like That with (Sarah Jessica Parker) in Manhattan! Did you see his adorable debut? And #spoileralert, Lotus liked the spotlight so much, he’s decided to stay on the show!” the Connecticut Humane Society wrote.
In “And Just Like That...,” Parker’s Carrie adopted Shoe after Miranda’s love interest, Che Diaz (played by Sara Ramirez), briefly takes a hiatus from comedy to work for a veterinarian and brings the kitty back to Bradshaw’s apartment, where Diaz is staying.
Swift tour gets big-screen treatment:
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is coming to movie theaters. Swift announced Thursday that the concert film “Taylor Swift — The Eras Tour” will open in North American theaters Oct. 13. The theater chain AMC, anticipating high demand from Swift fans, said the film will play at least four times a day Thursday, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays at all of its U.S. locations.
“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far, and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon,” Swift said on social media platforms.
Prices will be higher than usual movie tickets. An adult ticket will cost $19.89 — “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is coming soon — and a child ticket is priced at $13.13 — seemingly a nod to her favorite number. Advance sales began Thursday.
In an usual move, AMC is also acting as the film’s distributor. (“The Eras Tour” also will play in other chains.) AMC said in anticipation of the announcement, it upgraded its website to handle more than five times the largest ticket buying rush it has experienced before.
