Rumor has it that Sarah Jessica Parker turned down a $500,000 deal for an appearance at The Carrie Diaries, CW's prequel to Sex and the City. When asked why, insider said that Sarah wasn't sure that appearing in the show would be the right career move for her. Sarah Jessica Parker played Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City years ago, and Anna Sophia Robb now plays her teenage version in The Carrie Diaries.
