Confirmed: AnnaSophia Robb to Play Young Carrie Bradshaw

It's long been a mystery of who would stake claim of the coveted role, and now, it has been announced that AnnaSophia Robb has landed the lead role in HBO's forthcoming prequel to "Sex and the City".

The "Soul Surfer" actress will be the star of "The Carrie Diaries" as she plays a young Carrie Bradshaw, the role Sarah Jessica Parker is known for bringing to the small screen.

The show is based on the novel of the same name by Candace Bushnell, and follows a 17-year-old Bradshaw “who comes of age in the 1980s and is asking her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan,” according to Variety.

It seems the internet tipped the actress off that she landed the role as Annasophia tweeted, "So excited for #carriediaries! It was online before I even knew hahahaha oh technology."

Bristol Palin Reality Documentary Series: Coming to Lifetime For Some Reason!


For reasons unknown, Lifetime has ordered 10 episodes of Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp, a half-hour documentary series about Sarah Palin's eldest daughter.

Bristol Palin, for those unfamiliar, is best known for being:

  • The daughter of former V.P. candidate Sarah Palin
  • Knocked up by boyfriend Levi Johnston in 2008

Since giving birth to son Tripp, she’s appeared on DWTS, fought with Levi a lot and published a best-selling book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far.

Whoever ghosted that must've done a bang-up job.

BP Spills

“From the moment she was thrust into the public eye, Bristol and her son have been the subjects of a huge amount of curiosity and misunderstanding,” said Rob Sharenow, the executive V.P., Programming of Lifetime Networks, in a statement.

The show will “provide an exclusive, rare glimpse into Bristol Palin’s real life as a young, single mother forging her own way in the world while living under the bright, constant spotlight as a member of one of America’s highest-profile families.”

“This show will reveal the real Bristol Palin and her journey as a daughter, a mother and a young woman trying to make her way in this world.”

Life’s a Tripp is scheduled to air sometime this year.

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Welcome Baby Boy!


Already the parents of two beautiful daughters, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are now the proud mom and dad of a beautiful baby boy as well! Congratulations!

The A-list couple, who got married back in 2005, have proven pretty skillfull at picking out pretty girl names, with Violet and Seraphina. The little boy's name?

Alas, mum's the word on the little guy's name for now. But he's here!

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck

Jen and Ben with Violet, 6, last fall. Seraphina is 3.

"It would be so weird to have a boy," the actress told Ellen DeGeneres recently, but also said the experience would be absolutely "cool and different."

Affleck, in turn, said that the 3-against-1 female-to-male ratio in his house leaves him significantly outnumbered. Looks like he has a teammate at last!

"He knows when to swoop in with the gesture. He's sweet that way," the actress says of her husband. "Honestly, I would do anything for that man."

"I always know that it's not taken for granted."

Aww. Congrats again to the whole family!
