Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who became a fashion icon for her charismatic role as Carrie Bradshaw in the hit TV show “Sex And The City“, graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar New Fashion Spring Issue. SJP talks about her life in New York, the possibility of renewing her vows (aren’t SJP and husband Matthew Broderick headed to splitsville??) and new hit show Gossip Girl.

Good news girls: writer/director Michael Patrick King confirmed a second “Sex and the City” movie, which will start shooting this summer to be released in summer 2010. I can’t wait to see it! Meanwhile here are some highlights of Sarah Jessica Parker’s Harper’s Bazaar interview:

On how Carrie Bradshaw would handle these recessionary times: “She would probably end up in a hospital. Perhaps she would go back to her ’80s stuff and start bringing it out again.”

On what she can’t live without: “My son! My husband! Food! Oh, fashion? I don’t know. A good bra?”

On what she’d wear to renew her vows: “White it up. I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress, like I should have worn that day. James Wilkie’s teacher is getting married, and he said, ‘Do you think she will be wearing black? I said, ‘No! I can almost assure you.’ Then he said, ‘Do you still regret it?’ and I said, ‘Yes, I still regret it.’”

On how the Sex and the City bus tour affects her life as a New Yorker: “Ah, yes, I run into it. There are times when it’s totally terrific, and there are times when I’m like, Oh, God, I’d better run in the other direction. Especially when I’m with my son.”

On her advice for surviving modern celebrity: “Don’t surround yourself with bodyguards and SUVs, and return everything you are loaned in the shape in which you received it. Return jewelry, return bags, clean out the bags!”

On TV’s current closest thing to Sex & the City — Gossip Girl: “Are the characters sexually active? I hear it’s pretty sophisticated, the content. Is there any concern over the impression that it’s making on young women? I’m not asking in condemnation, but I’m just curious.”
