Sex And The City 3 has taken a surprising plot twist. Actress Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda Hobbes on the HBO show, announced today that she would be running for governor as a Democrat in the New York primary against current governor Andrew Cuomo, confirming some long-speculated rumours.

"And as I sat there, I wondered: was Cynthia Nixon playing Miranda or was Miranda there all along?"
"new york WAS always the fifth character!!!" editor Rachel Handler said.
"cynthia nixon is gonna be the first person to EGOT where the G stands for governor," writer Lizzie Logan said.
