Return to the Big Screen
Parker makes her big-screen return in The Family Stone, which also stars Claire Danes, Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams. She receives a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress for her performance. Entertainment Weekly says the film "features lots of comic fizz and a rich ensemble...that meshes convincingly as a family."

Launching Pad

Bitten by the Fashion Bug
The style icon and former Gap spokesmodel launches Bitten, a new affordable clothing line at mall retail chain Steve & Barry's. “I am acutely aware of what it means to not have the things you need, let alone the things you want," Parker tells PEOPLE. "And you should be able to have affordable, quality fashion." At a preview of the line, Parker wears an ensemble from Bitten (pictured here): a striped shirt under a belted, strapless dress. All items are under $20.
The Sex Movie
The cast of Sex and the City reunite for a film version of the hit show. "I think it's a great idea and great excuse for us all to be together again," Parker tells PEOPLE. "And I would love an excuse to be shooting on the streets of New York again, just like the old days." Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Parker begin filming in mid-September amid crowds of fans (and tabloids!) watching every scene.

The Girls Are Back!
With her SATC costars, Parker, 43, covers EW. "When they said, 'We're going to do the movie,' I said, 'Yeeaah. I'll believe it when I see it,'" Cynthia Nixon admits. EW says the film has the "potential to turn into that rarest of entities in Hollywood: a female-driven summer blockbuster." And the film, which Parker says holds "a lot at stake for me personally," beats the Indiana Jones sequel for the No. 1 box office spot. It earns a record-breaking $55.7 million on its opening weekend – the most ever made by an R-rated comedy.
