Rumors claim Caitlyn Jenner is considered for a cameo in the new HBO Sex and the city reload because producers are looking for new and recognizable faces for the range and because they hope to correct the original series’ heinous treatment of marginalized characters. And by “characters” I mean extras – non-white, non-cis people barely exists in the show different.
As for trans characters, the only notable case is in an episode in which Samantha commits a literal hate crime against them and throws water on a group of trans sex workers in her block.
According to the Mirror, the producers try to make the recharge “as diverse as possible” to correct for scenes like this, and for its almost exclusively white cast. Enter Caitlyn Jenner apparently inside.
“Caitlyn has been a media setup for 50 years somehow,” said a suspected “insider.” “She’s really perfect for a look.”
It’s definitely a random choice and a hollow gesture if the program is primary reason to include Jenner is to vague nod by “inclusion.” Would Jenner appear as herself? As a friend? Or as just another extra person whose role it is to make a witty remark? I think we will (maybe) see!

And in a kitchen across from the pond …
Elizabeth Hurley became a full trader. (Minus the anti-feminist politics.)
The model and actress posted a photo on Instagram on Sunday in which they announce that she has been hovering hard on housekeeping under the quarantine in the UK – where there are limited restrictions fairly strict at the moment – and jam making.
“Lockdown made me a demented housewife,” Hurley wrote in the caption. “47 pots of marmalade are lying in my pantry with more Seville oranges waiting for me.”
Jam-up seems to be a much more enjoyable closing activity than doing puzzles, for example. Go on, Liz!
