Many Sex and the City fans were left on tenterhooks last year with whether rumours of a third movie were true. With speculation that a prequel was in the pipeline back in 2011, it has now been confirmed that there will not be a prequel film, but a TV series pilot has been given the green light.

Rumours were flying as to who would play who for the prequel film. Names such as Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Selena Gomez and Elizabeth Olsen were on the list for the four main Sex and the City characters. Now, as it will be a TV series, the roles of Carrie and Samantha are up for grabs. Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus have both been rumoured for the role of Carrie Bradshaw whilst Emma Roberts and Chloe Moretz have been speculated for the role of the infamous Samantha Jones. It has been said that the characters of Charlotte and Miranda will not feature in the series.

The series will be based on the book series ‘The Carrie Diaries’ by Candace Bushnell, they are the prequel books to Sex and the City.  The Carrie Diaries focus on Carrie’s teenage years in high school and her move to New York in the 1980’s.

The Sex and the City original writer and producer, Michael Patrick King has said he will not play any part in this series, as he felt going back in time to a ‘less evolved Carrie’ is something he could never imagine doing. But writer Amy Harris, who was a writer on the original show and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage who have all worked on the Gossip Girl series have reportedly been asked to executive produce The Carrie Diaries.

The Sex and the City TV show was run by American network HBO but The Carrie Diaries has been taken on by US TV network the CW, who also run the TV series Gossip Girl. The CW has ordered a pilot for a weekly series.

Media-favourite Miley Cyrus has finaly confirmed she and Nick Jonas were dating.

The 15-year-old star ? who up till now had refused to confirm the rumours ? has admitted she was ?in love? with the Nick, 15, who makes up one third of the Jonas Brothers.

She said: “We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, ‘I think you’re beautiful and I really like you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.’

“Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”

Miley - who recently revealed she wanted to star in a kiddie-version of hit show ?Old Women Buy Shoes?, err I mean, ‘Sex and the City’ - also spoke about how she handled the break up. Not very well it would seem.

She said: “At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights - and so I did that, and I got myself looking great (because i’m a robot that does what i’m told?).

“And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now - I don’t want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core (this is actually painful to read). I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I’ve got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am.

“Since the breakup, I’ve realised that I’ve met so many great guys, but I like being the girl nobody can have. (nothing like modesty right folks) No one can touch me, no one’s mine. I’m myself. I think it’s sexy to do your own thing.”
