Interview With Sarah Jessica Parker
HAMMER: Welcome back to this special edition of SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. Tonight, we`re going straight to Sarah Jessica Parker for the inside story of how she makes her marriage work. Well, she`s been married to Matthew Broderick more than 10 years now. They have a 5-year-old son together and they live here in New York City. And what`s really interesting, SJP told me that one of the keys to making the marriage work is the city.</s>SARAH JESSICA PARKER, ACTRESS: This is a city that is about industry and finance and publishing and architecture and the arts and education and academia, and the movie industry fits into it in some small way. But there are a lot of people of import and interest, and I think that is a conscious choice to live in a place where, you know, we`re bumping up against humanity, we run to the market on our own, we take the subway and integrate and -- into our city and we become a fabric, a part of the fabric. And I think it`s really been to our benefit, and certainly to our son`s. Does it mean that we are not scrutinized and that we don`t have paparazzi every single day at our house? No. But it`s a city where you can`t live behind a gate and you can`t drive up in a car and be protected. You`ve got to -- you walk out the door and it is what it is. So you reconcile those things and you make the best choices you can.</s>HAMMER: I like her a lot. It definitely sounds like SJP and Matthew have been making the right choices. All right. Is there a nasty smackdown brewing in the battle of talk show royalty?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The comparisons between Tyra and Oprah are inevitable. They both believe in philanthropy. They`re huge philanthropists. And also very, you know, involved in issues with young women. And then they also both have very public battles with their weight.</s>HAMMER: Here`s the big question: Can Tyra knock Queen Oprah off her throne? We`re investigating that coming up. Plus, Barbara Walters unplugged. Barbara really opened up to me about being a trailblazer for women in journalism and about the time she really thought her career was over. She told me there was one thing she did that probably saved her career. That`s still to come. And startling star couples. Do opposites really attract in Hollywood, or is being so different a recipe for disaster? That`s coming up as SHOWBIZ investigates startling star couples. We are coming straight back.
