Sarah Jessica Parker, the widely-adored star of Sex And The City, is forgoing the usual walk down the red carpet at the upcoming premiere of the second SATC film. Instead, she's staying home and has auctioned off her own tickets to the world premiere to benefit the Human Rights Campaign in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual rights.
Just last week, Parker spoke at the HRC's 9th annual Speak The Truth gala at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC alongside many other celebrities and human rights advocates who donated items for a fundraising auction to raise money for the cause, bringing in over $11,000.
One of Sarah's favorite designers, Alexander McQueen, passed away yesterday after a reported suicide. McQueen was the same designer that dressed Sarah in the famous green ensemble at the first SATC movie premiere.
- "I am shocked and overcome with grief upon learning about the untimely death of the quiet genius Alexander McQueen," said the actress. "My heart goes out to his family and all those who worked for and with him. Every single inspired, original, lofty, whimsical, stunning, brilliant and jaw dropping detail was Alexander McQueen. There has never been anyone like him. And there simply never will be."
She continues, "What is more devastating is that despite all his success thus far, creatively, critically and commercially, his greatest achievements lay ahead of him. The future would be whatever he hoped to make of it," she says. "God speed Lee. It has been a privilege for all of us to know you. You will be indescribably missed."
We're glad to see the money will be going to a cause that is near and dear to her heart. How much would you pay for SATC 2 premiere tickets?
