And just like that, Kim Cattrall is a Selena Gomez fan. The actress put her stamp of approval on the pop star’s simple but perfect way of promoting her upcoming single — by recreating one of Cattrall’s iconic scenes from Sex and the City.
In a Tuesday (Aug. 23) TikTok, Gomez lip-synchs along to a piece of dialogue from the NYC-set series, miming a phone call with her hand. “It’s over, I told my wife!” a man on the other end of the call says, to which the Rare Beauty founder mouths along Cattrall’s in-character response “Who is this?” before shrugging her shoulders and hanging up.
“Single Soon this Friday!” Gomez wrote in her caption, reminding fans of her Aug. 25 release.
The clip is a fan-favorite scene from Cattrall’s SATC character Samantha Jones, who unceremoniously breaks up with a married lover. Upon seeing Gomez’s recreation, Cattrall herself took to Twitter to say, “I approve this message.”
The “Lose You to Love Me” singer first announced “Single Soon” last week, sharing the cover art on Instagram and explaining that since she’s still wrapping up work on her upcoming third album, she “wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.”
Shortly afterward, “Single Soon” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Trending Songs chart, days before its release. It makes sense that fans are excited; Gomez hasn’t released a solo single since last year’s “My Mind & Me,” which accompanied the Only Murders in the Building star’s documentary of the same name. She hasn’t released an album since 2020’s sophomore effort Rare, though she dropped Spanish-language EP Revelacion in 2021.
The day before “Single Soon” arrives, the season two finale of Max’s SATC reboot And Just Like That… will air, featuring Cattrall’s first cameo in the spinoff. It’ll mark her first time playing Samantha in 13 years, as she’s remained absent from the reboot starring her three main SATC costars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.

Singer and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne opens up about her upcoming Las Vegas residency, working on new music, what fans can expect from the new season of RHOBH, her friendship with Lisa Rinna and more!
Erika Jayne:I don’t know if these b—hes have bought tickets yet or not, you know? And I’m not giving them for free!
Hey, guys! I’m Erika Jayne, and this is Billboard News.
Catrise J:Hey, everyone! It’s Catrise J here with Billboard News. I’m sitting with Erika Jayne, Miss Pretty Mess. Welcome!
Erika Jayne:Thank you. Hi!
Catrise J:We’re here to talk about Bet It All on Blonde.
Erika Jayne:Yes.
Catrise J:Coming to Vegas, Aug. 25. So what was your reaction when you found out that you are getting this residency in Vegas?
Erika Jayne:OK, well, honestly, to be really truthful, I was kind of like, “Really?” I mean, it almost felt like this can’t possibly be happening. I have gone through such a rough patch and all I was getting was bad news. So that when actually good news came through the door, I seriously for a hot second was like, “Is this real?”
Catrise J:So what can you tell us about the show?
Erika Jayne:So the show is based around my six-word mantra, which is how I created Erika Jayne, which was “fantasy, love, escape,” and then I added “glitz, glamour and fun” some years later. So that’s really what the Vegas show is about. We’ll have my old stuff, new stuff and we’ll do a clever cover or two just for nostalgia purposes, and it’s gonna be great. I’m super excited to get back out and perform. I had not performed for three years.Watch the full interview above to watch Erika Jayne talk Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her friendship with Lisa Rinna and more!

With Barbie and Oppenheimer ruling the box office, the one-day ticket haul could add a significant boost to what has already been a historic box-office run for both films, and a ticket spike for some of the other big-budget movies that didn’t perform as well, such as Blue Beetle, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part I.
“Following the rousing success of the first annual National Cinema Day, we welcome everyone to join us for the communal experience of one of America’s favorite past times,” Jackie Brenneman, president of The Cinema Foundation told Deadline.

Alien-invasion plots may seem to be in abundance, but Invasion brings a new perspective, or, in this case, five perspectives. The events of the series take place in real time through the eyes of five different characters spread across the globe. This way, viewers get to see how people from different backgrounds are impacted by the ensuing invasion around them. The upcoming second season picks up with the humans seemingly having won the battle — at least according to the show’s news reports. It’s clear from the trailer, though, that the aliens are very much alive and thirsty for revenge, making the war far from over.
Academy Award-nominated and two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer Simon Kinberg and David Weil created the series, which stars Shamier Anderson, Golshifteh Farahani, Sam Neill, Firas Nassar and Shioli Kutsuna.
