Sex & The City Feud Blights Premiere

They may have been all smiles on the red carpet but the long-running feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and her Sex & The City co-star Kim Cattrall is apparently far from over.

Despite the public show of solidarity at the world premiere of the movie version of the hit TV show in London on Monday night, Kim reportedly refused to watch the film with the other actresses - and then left before it finished.

A source told the Daily Mail, "It's that bad. Kim can't stand her. It's no secret among those who worked on the film.

"But of course both are professional and have not let the rivalry get in the way of doing the public face of the job."

After at first insisting that all four stars watched the film together, publicist Ruth Dallatt acknowledged that Kim did leave the cinema in Leicester Square to have dinner with Mario Cantone, who plays wedding planner Anthony.

She explained, "The reason that Kim and Mario did not watch the film is that they promised their families that they would watch it for the first time together at the premiere in New York."
