On the August 24th edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on Current TV, actress and Oxfam ambassador Kristin Davis (Sex and the City) joined Keith to shed light on the growing humanitarian crisis in East Africa—famine caused by extreme drought in the region.

Davis has been an ambassador for Oxfam, an international organization devoted to fighting poverty and injustice. Kristin and Oxfam America President Raymond C. Offenheiser join Keith to discuss East Africa’s growing humanitarian crisis.

Parade has an extensive interview with actress Sarah Jessica Parker and of course, the topic of a third Sex and the City film. Take a below at what Sarah Jessica had to say:

On any chance for a third Sex and the City movie:
“There is. I know what the story is. It’s a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is, what’s the right time to tell it?”

Fans of the popular franchise Sex and the City could get a taste of a 20-something-year-old Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda in the film’s rumored prequel, based on the beloved friends’ early years in New York City.

According to Daily Mail, the top choices for the cast are as follows: Blake Lively as Samantha Jones, Selena Gomez for the part of Charlotte York, Emma Roberts as Miranda Hobbs and newcomer Elizabeth Olsen to portray Carrie Bradshaw. Olsen, 22, is the younger sister of billionaire twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Although it sounds like a perfect match, reps for all four actresses tell “Extra” it’s not true.

The prequel would be based on creator Candice Bushnell’s two novels, The Carrie Diaries, and Summer and the City. Although Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis have both publicly stated they were not keen on a “SATC” prequel, Bushnell insists the prequel lays the foundation for what each character will become. In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Bushnell said, “Every character has a back-story — what the reader sees, in a sense, is the tip of the iceberg.

“The characters don’t exist in a vacuum — when we first meet them… in their thirties and single in New York — they are, in a sense, in the middle of their stories, which is what makes the Carrie Diaries series so satisfying.”

Parker felt the film shouldn’t be based on the same characters, telling the L.A. Times, “I don’t think we can pretend to go back. It’s creating two histories. It’s like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that about Carrie Bradshaw.’”

Kristin Davis is attracted to men who work for charities.

The single actress is part of the Oxfam Kenya Appeal – the charity’s largest ever appeal for people to help relieve the food crisis facing more than 12 million people across Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya – as charity work is a very important part of her life, and something she’d like to see in a potential partner.

She told huffingtonpost.co.uk: “You don’t get to pick where you’re born. I’ve worked hard all my life, and I’ve had a lot of luck too. We love what we do, and then we get paid a ridiculous amount for it. I can’t speak for others – lots of people in my industry do charity work privately, so it takes different forms. I personally feel it is my responsibility, but that comes from my upbringing, where both my parents did voluntary work, so I thought everyone just did.

“So I wouldn’t judge anyone for not doing charity, but I don’t know that I would date them either.”
Kristin – who plays Charlotte York in Sex and the City – also told how her work in Tanzania, which she recently visited to help the relief effort, helps put things like fame and celebrity in perspective.

The 46-year-old star added: “It’s very easy to get sucked into the intense, tabloid world and be stressed out by it, and then I get to see the reality of how so many people live, which puts it all in perspective. What do I care if someone doesn’t like my outfit? What do I care if my shoes are the wrong color? So it’s been super-helpful for me as a person.”
