Sex and the City star Kristin Davis has followed her on-screen alter ego’s lead by adopting a baby girl.
Single mum Davis, 46, says she feels “blessed” to have adopted Gemma Rose.
“This is something I have wanted for a very long time,” she said.
“Having this wish come true is even more gratifying than I had ever imagined. I feel so blessed.”
Davis, whose character Charlotte adopted a girl from China, had thought about the process for years but had worried about going it alone as a single mum.
In May last year she told Access Hollywood: “I would love to have children. I would love to adopt.
“I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him. I haven’t given up.”
But now she has gone ahead with her plan she is “ecstatic,” a friend said.
“She’s wanted this for a long time,” the pal added in a US magazine interview.

Sale of six-story meatpacking district home of London-based Soho Club expected to go swimmingly. Members-only roof-top pool played memorable role on TV show.
Attention all Anglophiles and Sex and the City fans: There’s a building for sale that may pique your interest.
The six-story building at 33 Ninth Ave., which includes the noted Soho House private club among its tenants, is being marketed by Jones Lang LaSalle’s Capital Markets Group, sources said. Soho House, which is an offshoot of a London club of the same name, boasts a swanky members-only roof top pool that was immortalized in an episode of Sex and the City.
Experts say the building should draw interest because of its spot in the heart of the meatpacking district—a neighborhood that has really flourished along with the huge popularity of the High Line. They say the property would be especially attractive to a retailer or hotel operator.
It is currently owned by 2935 Equities Inc., a partnership. A woman answering the phone who identified herself as the comptroller but wouldn’t give her full name said the building was not for sale. Brokers at Jones Lang declined comment.
However, marketing materials have been circulated which boast of the building’s location and “in-place below market rents with both mid-term and long-term expirations provide stability and upside.”
Other tenants in the 86,000-square-foot building include the restaurant Spice Market and Swiss furniture maker Vitra. The restaurant’s lease expires in 2017. Vitra’s expires in 2016. Soho House’s lease extends through 2021.
Dan Fasulo, a managing director at Real Capital Analytics, said it is difficult to determine what the building might fetch without knowing what the tenants pay. Yet, given the property’s location and potential for different uses, he could see it being very popular with a high-net worth individual or an end user like a retailer.
The building was last sold for in 2001 for $8.1 million. However, earlier this year, 15 Little West Twelfth St., which is about the same size—although it is a recently renovated office building—fetched $70 million. The brokers at Jones Lang LaSalle handled the sale of that property too.

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has pledged her support to a campaign calling for the legalisation of assisted suicide or euthanasia.
The 54-year-old actress, who has become a patron of Dignity in Dying, a group lobbying for reform in the UK’s Suicide Act 1961, is backing a change in the law to legalise euthanasia in the UK, reported Daily Telegraph.
“A law to allow assisted dying would protect dying people from the awful situations they currently face if they want some control over their death,” she said.
Currently in the UK, a person faces up to 14 years in jail if they are convicted of helping in a suicide. Cattrall has earlier played the role of a paralysed sculptor who wished to end her life in the 2005 West End production Whose Life Is It Anyway?.

Sex and the City star admits she never wanted to be famous
She’s famed for her role as glitzy New York fashionista Carrie Bradshaw in ‘Sex and the City,’ but away from the camera Sarah Jessica Parker refuses to take advantage of her celebrity status – and admits she still uses public transport whenever possible.
The 46-year old actress currently lives in a sprawling eight-bedroom property at 88 Central Park West with husband Matthew Broderick and their three children – but despite the relative luxury her career has afforded her, she insists that becoming a celebrity was never priority when she first started out.
“I never wanted to be famous and in my daily life, I work really hard not to trade on it in any way,” she told Marie Claire. “I am so desperately worried about anybody saying, ‘She cut in line,’ or ‘She took our table,’ or ‘She got out of jury duty,’ or ‘She doesn’t do her own grocery shopping.’
“The things that bother me are counter to who I am and the way I live. It’s not like it’s hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do my own grocery shopping, and I take my own kids to school.”
Sarah Jessica also revealed that aside from her role as a parent to kids James Wilkie, 8, and 2-year old twins Marion and Tabitha, acting is the ‘hardest and scariest thing’ she has done.

Kim Cattrall felt ready to move on from her iconic Sex and the City role, and was delighted to pile on the pounds for a gritty independent film.
The 54-year-old actress – who played man-eater Samantha Jones in the hugely successful series – stars in Meet Monica Velour. The movie focuses on an ageing former porn star who now earns her money working in a sleazy strip club and Kim relished the challenge.
“I had to think about it long and hard,” she told British newspaper The Daily Mail. “Then I thought, ‘I’m not interested in being a sex icon for ever’. So I uglied down.
“I had to put on 20lb for the role and I loved it. I ate rubbish meals and McDonald’s and chips and puddings and just everything. I got a spare tyre round the middle and wore clothes to match.”
And it’s made it clear to Kim that she should continue to choose roles that excite her rather than compete with younger Hollywood starlets. Kim has already insisted that she won’t be going under the cosmetic knife anytime soon.
“I am not interested in being a Barbie doll and turning myself into a sausage for the next 20 years. I want to follow actresses like Helen Mirren and Judi Dench who have lines on their faces and aren’t afraid of playing their age,” she added. “Me saying yes to Monica got it made and that made me extremely happy. And I will keep going for as long as possible. That would be great.”

Kim Cattrall has revealed she relished putting on weight for her new film, as she’s been watching what she eats for so long.
The 54-year-old Sex And The City star had to gain 20lbs to play retired porn star in Meet Monica Velour and revealed on The Graham Norton Show she loved pigging out after having watched what she ate for more than 35 years.
Kim said: “It was a stretch for me – literally a stretch as I had to gain 20lbs to play this character… it was fantastic!”
She added: “I have been on a diet since 1974 so this was time for me to eat. God I love to eat, chips and crisps and puddings. Oh, it was amazing.”
British born Kim is famous for playing stylish, image conscious Samantha in Sex and The City, and revealed she enjoyed not looking her best for the film.
She said: “I had no make up on and my hair was just as I got out of bed. I am known so much for looking just one way – that sort of Barbie doll perfection look that Sex And The City promotes – so it was fantastic for me to get to play a real person.”
Kim admitted the role of Samantha was hard to shake off and she was pleased to try something different.
She said: “It’s hard. People think you are that character and it follows you.”
And of the character’s raunchy sex scenes she said: “I tell people ‘You have seen Samantha nude, not me nude.’”

Kim Cattrall’s latest film Meet Monica Velour is heading straight to Dvd in Britain after failing to impress U.S cinemagoers.
The Sex and the City star plays a washed-up prostitute in the movie, but it failed to set the box office alight in America when it was released last year (10).
It made its U.K. debut at Scotland’s Edinburgh Film Festival earlier this week (begs20Jun11) – but instead of hitting theatres, it is scheduled to be released on Dvd only.
Cattrall’s agent tells Britain’s Daily Telegraph, “We were planning for an art house release.”
