Carrie Bradshaw's fans need not be disappointed as a third Sex and the City movie is inching towards reality, says lead star Sarah Jessica Parker.

The 46-year-old actress who played the popular character in the successful TV series and two movies, says they have found a story for the third movie, the Hollywood Reporter said.

"There is. I know what the story is. It's a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is, what's the right time to tell it?" Parker said.

The second movie, where the action shifts to Abu Dhabi, was critically panned for its insensitive portrayal of the Muslim world with makers indicating that they might not take the story forward.

Parker's comments seem to lend credence to the theory that a third film would not be a prequel with younger starcast.

"My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33, and I took her to 43. I didn't even want to know who Carrie Bradshaw's parents were because I thought she only existed in Manhattan. So for me, the idea of going backwards and making her less evolved ... is something that I don't imagine doing," show runner Michael Patrick King had said.

Last month, rumours surfaced that the project will feature young stars such as Elizabeth Olsen, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Selena Gomez as Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte respectively. Also the film will be based upon The Carrie Diaries and Summer and the City.

Nineteen-year-old American actress-singer Selena Gomez, who is now focussing on a music career, has launched her new album and says that in the long run she would take acting as a full-fledged career.

"It's been two-and-a-half to three years that I have been acting and singing. However, I feel most likely in terms of a longer career span, it would be acting," Gomez told IANS in an email interview from Texas.

She began her acting career at the age of seven, with I--Barney & Friends and recently featured in movies like Ramona and Beezus and Monte Carlo.

Best known for portraying Alex Russo in the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel television series Wizards of Waverly Place, Gomez is the lead singer and founder of the pop band Selena Gomez & the Scene, which has released Kiss & Tell and A Year Without Rain.

Talking about her new album When The Sun Goes Down, Selena said that "the music in the album is kind of a way to express that it's really fun. Who Says is a powerful song and I love that my fans can have that to listen to. There are songs like My Dilemma, Bang Bang Bang, and Love You Like A Love Song.

When quizzed about her much-publicized relationship with teen pop icon Justin Bieber, Selena said: "I'd say it's nice to have someone who knows what you're going through."

From Akon to Bryan Adams, several international artists have been coming to India to perform and now Gomez is also keen to do so. She says she would also love to work with Indian artistes.

"I don't know a lot about India. I know many artists are performing there and I would like to visit India, may be some time in future as and when the opportunity comes my way. I would also like to collaborate with some Indian artistes at a later stage," said the singer.

Teen star Selena Gomez has dismissed rumours about being a part of Sex and the City prequel.

According to reports, the 18-year-old was likely to portray the character of a young Charlotte York, the role made famous by Kristin Davis.

But Gomez says she is not joining the franchise as the teen version of York, reported Daily Star online.

"That was a compliment and I was very surprised when I heard that - it was very sweet, but there is nothing official and I've never even been approached or anything," said Gomez.

The songstress also said that she is not a Sex and the City fan because she was too young to watch it when it first hit TV screens.

"My mum is more of a fan because I wasn't really allowed to watch it when I was younger," added Gomez.

The series has spawned two movies and producers are rumoured to be working on ideas for a big-screen prequel, showing the characters in their youth.

Singer-actress Selena Gomez has given up surfing the internet after receiving nasty online comments from fans jealous of her romance with singer Justin Bieber.

Gomez, 18, and Bieber, 17, went public with their relationship this year. But the revelation infuriated some of the "Baby" hitmaker's fans, who targeted Gomez online. "It's weird, it's just weird, but I don't pay attention to it, I just try to live my life as normal as possible. I just like to not focus on what the whole world is saying about me and just be happy with myself," contactmusic quoted Gomez as saying.

"I try to not read magazines or the internet but it's obviously unavoidable. I mean, it's everywhere, so there are moments where I read things that hurt my feelings But not most of the time. I don't surround my life with magazines or the internet," she added.
