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?"

"cynthia nixon is gonna be the first person to EGOT where the G stands for governor," writer Lizzie Logan said.
