Matthew Broderick - Minus a Bracelet

Reports have been circulating all summer that Matthew Broderick had quite the affair with a 25 year old youth counselor while Sarah Jessica Parker was filming Sex and the City: The Movie. Apparently he met the redheaded mistress in a Manhattan bar and began a four-month long relationship with the woman, who nicknamed him "Matty Cakes" - gag. Sources say MB and SJP are trying to work it out for little James Wilkie. The two have been seen wearing white unity bracelets as part of their efforts to fix their marriage.

However, Pop Guru and a friend went for a brunch on this lovely sunny Sunday and Matthew happened to walk by after a trip to the local Citarella. Matthew was most definitely NOT wearing his white unity bracelet... Hmmmm... What does this mean? Are SJP and MB no longer trying to make it work? Is SJP out of town and that gives him an excuse to take off the dumb bracelet? Or does he simply just not care? I'm just baffled that someone would find him sexually irresistible enough to actually commit adultery with him. SJP's basically paying the bills with SatC and her stinky perfumes, so why would Matthew try to screw over his meal ticket? Shame, shame. What happened to you, Ferris Bueller?

Also spotted this weekend, Natalie Portman and Lauren Hutton dining at Bar Pitti (at separate times). Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou walked around in the West Village with little Aoki Lee on Friday. Debbie Matenopoulos ate at Da Silvano with friends on Saturday. Seth Meyers looking like he had just rolled out of bed strolling down 7th Avenue.

Dennis Quaid Files Lawsuit, Britney Spears Almost Edged Out, and Another Nose Job

Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly filed a lawsuit for $50,000 today against the makers of Heparin. Their newborn twins were accidentally given large quantities of the blood thinner in which they "suffered and will continue to suffer injuries of a pecuniary nature." The babies, Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone, are now at home with their parents.

- Britney Spears almost skipped out on her $500,000 shoot for her song "Pieces of Me". Her record company, Jive Records, expected something like this might happen so they told newcomer Samantha Jade to be on call to use the shoot for her "Eyes on Me" single. However when Brit Brit got wind of this, she hauled her ass down to the shoot and managed to pump out a video. I guess the only thing that will make Britney live up to her promises is the promise that a hotter, younger popstar is going to steal her spotlight.

- Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony had a scare yesterday when a suspicious individual wearing a Star Wars t-shirt with a bunch of cds rang their doorbell and left a package on their doorstep. Cops determined the individual wasn't a threat and he was not arrested. The Anthonys were not at home during the incident.

- High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale got herself a new schnoz last Friday, citing a "deviated septum" as the only reason for the plastic surgery. Mmmhmmmm....

- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will perform during the Super Bowl halftime show on February 3.

- Christina Aguilera supposedly wants to name her baby boy Jackson Jake Bratman and call him "J.J." I'm not a fan...

- "Gossip Girl" Leighton Meester is denying reports that she and costar Chace Crawford cozying up offset, but she admits the two are "really close."

- No more Sex and the City: The Movie pictures for you! The cast had an official wrap party at the Royalton Hotel. What will Sarah Jessica Parker do next? Better yet, what will Kim Cattrall do? Hopefully she won't be forced to star in Ice Princess 2: Cold as Ice.

- Patrick Dempsey: Fashion Model? Dempsey has been chosen to be the new model for Versace's spring/summer collection.

- Bill Clinton has a thing for Penelope Cruz.

- Sarah Michelle Gellar may have lost her role as Alice in a live-action sequel to Alice in Wonderland to Maggie Grace from "Lost".

Stalkarazzi: "Sex and the City" Style

I caught the ladies of "Sex and the City" filming a scene for their upcoming movie in front of Christie's Auction House today. I have no idea what the content of the scene is, except Samantha was not in a walking scene with the other three but she was on set. I tried to take some pictures in the two minutes I was there, but some PAs were manhandling us and forcing us to walk away which is why my pictures are blurry. Somehow I only got a good shot of Miranda, and she's the last one I wanted a picture of! I will try again tomorrow if they are back at Christie's. Enjoy!
