Sarah Jessica Parker Feels 'Old and Tired,' Doesn't Relate to Carrie, According to Heat Interview

Sarah Jessica Parker feeling not so Carried away? Photo: Getty Images Entertainment

Is it May 27 yet?

Um, no. But there's nothing like a quick Sarah Jessica Parker fix to brighten our mood as we campout in front of the movie theater in anticipation of "Sex and the City 2."

Fortunately, Britain's Heat Magazine got SJP to spill the details on her beauty regimen, cute new twin daughters, and life playing everyone's favorite sex columnist.

"I don't feel like Carrie -– my life is so different, my choices are different," Parker tells Heat. "But I love her. I love playing her and everything about her -- the good, the flawed, the mistakes, the bad choices.

"I understand that people will blur the lines, but I feel very different. Which is probably why it works so well, because if she felt familiar to me, I would have bored of playing her a long time ago."

God forbid. We're still holding out hope for "Sex and the City 3." And 4. And 5...

And how has motherhood changed the glamorous star?



"Having my boy and now the twins, life is triply delightful," she says.

"When I [used to] come to London, my first stop was Harvey Nichols, but now it's all about [toy store] Hamleys. That store is amazing!"

Indeed, it seems that while her alter ego Carrie is teetering around New York City in $700 heels, Parker is in full motherhood mode.

"I don't have one," she tells the magazine when asked about her beauty secret. "I feel old and tired!

"I have children I run round after, I try to walk as much as possible, and other than that I buy every cream possible.

"I love beautiful clothes and am privileged enough to have access to a lot of them, but they're returned the next day. They're not mine!"

Hey, a one-night stand is better than nothing at all. Just ask Samantha.

Meanwhile, read more behind-the-scenes "Sex and the City" gossip.

I've never been afraid of aging but am blessed with great genes in our family. I'll be 63 next month and have no wrinkles but have been using Oil of Olay for the past 30 years.
I met a lady 30 yrs ago who had beautiful, flawless skin and her secret was Oil of Olay so I became sold on it ever since.

I think you are as old and tired as you feel. I look at LindseyLohan and she may be in her twenties, but because of her lifestyle she looks like she is in her forties.

I am in my late thirties and feel and look the best I ever have...cause I am finally taking care myself and being kind to myself. I have a tried a lot of different forms of diet and exercise to efficiently burn calories and lose weight...After years of losing and gaining and never accomplishing my goals, I finally found what worked for me. What worked for me in dropping the pounds and gettng toned was getting a pedomenter and WALKING 10,000 steps every day and being aware of my calorie count!

I have lost 50 pounds over the last 2 years, and I have done it by watching my calories, eating less processed foods and walking 20 minutes every day.

I wear exercise insoles http://www.fitbodysole.info. They are body toning insoles similar toReebok Easytone that help you burn extra calories while you walk or work out as well as tone and tighten. Why not burn a few more calories while shopping. I read about them on my weight watchersboard and the code phit10 gives you a 10% discount.

Cannot stand this woman. You are old, honey. You will 50 when your twins are 5. She even publicly said she didn't want twins. Having a baby to try to save her marriage is selfish. "Old and tired", you said a mouthful honey. I should feel sorry for you????

I never understood her appeal...I don't think she is attractive, I do not care for her style, and she cannot act. I just don't get it.....

anni, who cares if she will be 50 when her twins are 5. That does not matter one bit. I know a lot of young parents that cannot keep up with their young children or are horrible parents. I know a lot of young parents that are also tired and feel like they cannot keep up. So age does not mean one thing. What is important is that she loves the children. So get over yourself.

With that said, I don't feel one bit sorry for her for feeling tired. For heaven sakes , she most likely has a nanny doing most of the work. And most of the stuff she is complaining about comes with having children especially more than one child. YES when you are a mother your life does start being more about the children and their wants and needs. HOW ABOUT THAT!!!So yes, there will be times you have to watch cartoons and not something else. YES, you will have to go to the toy part of a store. WOW!! YES if you are a good mother you will lose sleep. Yes, you will have to put YOUR life on hold and let be more about the kids. Amazing how that works. It comes with the territory. Welcome to motherhood.

Sarah Jessica depended on her good acting, because she is anything but pretty. In fact her looks make me think she should do a turn in a brothel somewhere- some rich gentleman might have a very pleasent surprise!

nope. but we don't have people telling us how beautiful we are just because we are in the entertainment business.

there is no way SJP is a beautiful woman on the outside. inside she may be lovely, tho i don't think she has any idea what it is like to parent in the real world. she didn't even carry her kids during the pregnancy, for pete's sake. was that due to health reasons or career concerns??

one of the prices she pays for the big bucks is we peons being able to voice our opinions when she makes inane comments.

Carrie is one person and SJP another..She
put the Manolos on the map and the F in fashion..

she should be proud of her accomplishments..and
there is nothing wrong with being tired with three kids
and a husband..no matter how much money she
has..

She is an Icon..

nyerrr says: "She is an Icon.."

An icon? Of what?? Doesn't one have to do something significant to earn that title?. I think titles like "icon" and "diva" are WAY too overused, and have become nothing words. .SJP has been in the biz since she was a kid, and, frankly, I think she just got lucky. She's always had a ferret face, and is at best a mediocre actress. She feels old and tired? Then why did she ADOPT two more kids??!! I'm sure they're all nannyfied, so I feel for her, but I can't reach. The more I hear her talk, I think she is a lot like Carrie. As far as buying any cream she can find....I don't care how much money she has, they don't make a cream to cure ugly.

I find it hysterical that anyone can call her attractive with a straight face! She looks like a horse (sorry horses) and she has a brain the size of a pea. Why would anyone take her advice on beauty products? They clearly haven't worked for her. Her husband is the one with the talent in that family. She's a waste of space. On the bright side you no longer are required to be beautiful or even attractive to succeed in hollywood anymore. I'm sure the feminists are happy.

Well she's LOOKED old & tired for years. It never made sense to have her play a character who was supposed to be attractive & sexy.
