Are Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick Moving to Park Slope?

Just got this email from my pal, Verse Responder Leon Freilich:

If, as the Post says, Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) and family move into the limestone mansion on Prospect Park West; and if her HBO series is brought back with new episodes, will it be called Sex and Park Slope?

Then I read in Curbed that Jennifer Gould Kalin in the New York Post speculates that Sarah and Matthew Broderick may be the "mystery buyers" of Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany's limestone on Prospect Park West and Carroll Street. That house sold for $8.45 million but nobody has moved in yet.

But look out for the moving trucks and get out the welcome wagons. Sounds like they should be home soon. I happen to know that SJP has been working on a film with Hugh Grant in NYC and on location in New Mexico. And she and her hubby have been waiting for a surrogate to give birth to their twins.

And there's more: Omigod: Curbed also reports that Parker's production company optioned Amy Sohn's book, Prospect Park West, which is a fictional treatment of the celebrity life in Park Slope.

Truth. Fiction. The lines are getting mighty blurred these days.
