Sneak Peek at the CW’s The Carrie Diaries!

by

AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie

The Carrie Bradshaw we know and love has been played by none other than Sarah Jessica Parker for years. Yet, the first official photo of the new, young Carrie Bradshaw has been released! AnnaSophia Robb will be starring in The CW‘s new pilot The Carrie Diaries, and she has some tough Manolo Blahniks to fill!

The Carrie Diaries writer/executive producer Amy B. Harris is confident in Robb’s ability. She said, “When AnnaSophia Robb walked into the room, we knew we had found her. Her grace, intelligence, sense of fun and her empathetic nature make her the perfect girl to bring our young Carrie to life. The fact that she loves a gorgeous pair of heels doesn’t hurt either.”

We’re excited to see how the quirky Carrie will navigate the concrete jungle of 1980’s NYC as she conquers her first questions about love, sex and friendship. What’s more, Eric Daman (of Sex and the City and Gossip Girl, amongst other collabs) will be the costume designer. We’re anticipating reworked tutus and headpieces galore, come the debut of the show in fall 2012!

Our New Guilty Pleasure: Stylista

After much hype, Tyra Banks’ new reality show, Stylista, finally premiered this week on the CW. The show features eleven slightly more stylish Anne Hathaways who must bend over backwards to win the approval of a Meryl Streep-like Anne Slowey, ala the Devil Wears Prada. And for what? The winner gets the coveted position of Junior Editor at Elle magazine — a role that we never saw prior on the masthead…`

We’re hoping the competitions get a little more cutthroat, relevant, and entertaining, because we really didn’t see a reason for any of the contestants to go home after last night’s “layout” challenge, and we think Anne’s elimination catch-phrase of “You’re not the right fit,” belongs on a show about making shoes instead of working for a fashion magazine. Nonetheless, we’ll be tuning in next week to find out who gets sent to the hospital after crumbling under the pressure to impress scary Slowey!
