A new ad for the Nissan Tiida features Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall making sex noises as she drives over a speed bump. It succeeded in grossing out all of New Zealand and was pulled from the airwaves. Watch it after the jump, if you think you can handle it. Oh who are we kidding? We know all you diehard Sex and the City fans would love it even if Kim were fellating the gearshift.

How many gay-themed sitcoms does it take to jade the American public? ABC is apparently trying to find out, having bought most of the pilots for gayish shows that could air this fall. Our friend Michael at AfterElton.com somehow got his greedy gay hands on the top-secret lowdown on each of the shows.

We are most excited about Him and Us, which features sexy Brit Anthony Stewart Head (aka Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) playing "a flamboyant, rhinestone-studded diva who is as outlandish off-stage as on," and co-star's homo-favorite Kim Cattrall as his stressed-out manager. Even though the show has been bought by a network, meaning the chances of seeing Anthony's naked butt are pretty slim, we still hold out hope, like maybe he'll wear some skin colored spandex, or briefly flash the audience long enough for some intrepid blogger to get a screencap. Don't mock us please. This is our life.

"We all wanted to do a movie but I think that time has passed. There was a script, there were sets, there were costumes, there was a crew, and that's all gone now. The sets are all broken down or sold or in a dumpster or, I don't know, on eBay. It'd be hard to buy it back. All the shoes, we have. We all have our shoes and they can have them back."

Sarah Jessica Parker on the demise of the Sex And The City movie. Doesn't it break your heart? The movie was was scrapped because Kim Cattrall dropped out to pursue career diversification, and accepted a role in the dismal kid movie The Ice Princess. We'll never forgive her.

In the perfect example of "art imitates life": Marcia Cross, the Desperate Housewives star once rumored to be a lesbian, will take a lesbian turn on the show.

Cross' character Bree Van de Kamp will reportedly fall for another woman, but have the relationship cut short when her evil son catches on to her taste for the ladies. Her son has held a grudge against her since earlier in the series, when Bree struggled with her son's proclimation that he is gay--to which she told him he "won't go to Heaven."

Cross was "outed" by internet gossip last year, but publicly announced her hererosexuality on the cover of one of those gay magazines no one really reads anymore.

Bree certainly has had a tough go of it. This new lesbian action on Housewives follows (a) Bree's turn into a drunk who passes out on her front lawn; (b) Bree's play in the suicide-death of her pharmacist and would-be lover (which was too convenient and unresolved; obviously the pharmacist is coming back), and (c) Bree's dabble in the world of S&M domination with her submissive husband, whom the pharmacist killed. And we thought blowing herself to bits on Melrose Place was nutty.

According to StarPulse.com, both Kim Cattrall and Dana Delaney are being considered for the lesbian-lover role; but Cattrall recently joined the cast of Sir Elton John's television project Him & Us, so those rumors might be a little antiquated. We recommend Anne Heche, as she is a brilliant actress in need of work, and she's just as crazy in real life as any of the characters on the show.

We worry about the welfare of (Housewives' creator) Marc Cherry's mother, as he seems to have a lot of psychotic baggage about their relationship.

Kim Cattrall, welcome back home to gay TV! The Sex And The City star will appear in Him and Us, a semi-autobiographical TV show about Sir Elton John's life:

"Him and Us," from Touchstone TV, centers on a gay British rock star (Anthony Stewart Head) and his relationship with his longtime manager, Freddie (Cattrall).

The role of Freddie originally was written for a male but is being reworked for Cattrall.

"Having a great comic actress like Kim is so exciting," said the project's executive producer, Elton John. "I'm a huge fan of hers."

Cattrall, who won a Golden Globe for her role on HBO's "Sex and the City," most recently co-starred in the feature "Ice Princess."

Even though the show is just in the "pilot" stages, we are quite sure it will be on our screens soon. Everything Sir Elton touches turns to gold. And we're thrilled to see Cattrall back on the screen, as we certainly did NOT see Ice Princess. We imagine not much has to be reworked on the "Freddie" character, as Cattrall is about a breath away from being a gay man anyway. Quite exciting.
