As soon as deals were signed, sealed and delivered for SATC brainchildren Candace Bushnell and Darren Star to helm their own interchangeable shows on rival networks, the claws were out. Rumors of fights between the former successful partners, publicly voiced dismissals of the others' futures in primetime, and an overall tension among loyal SATC viewers concerned about their iconic creators' feud led to a predictable race-to-the-finish come winter pilot season. And now, according to the NY Daily News, we may have a winner. Today's rumor on which Menopause And The City spinoff is most likely to bite the dust first, after the jump...

Uh oh! Your favorite show from 1999, Cashmere Mafia (complete with 1999 stars like Lucy Liu!) may be in trouble. Ol' Ben Widdicombe is suggesting that it may be on its way out.

We found the clip of important Media Gossip Website Gawker.com on popular television show Cashmere Mafia! Go watch and cower at our influence in fictional New York. [Previously]

Cashmere Mafia is a television show about ladies (a blonde, a brunette, a redhead, and an Asian) who have sex and hang out and talk about having sex. They live in New York and have important jobs in the media industry. Last night was its second, much-anticipated episode. And apparently, one of the characters did something embarrassing and ended up on a popular media gossip website!

Among the new shows for spring, you can catch ABC's new sitcom, Cashmere Mafia, in which Lucy Liu plays Mia, a stylish Manhattan magazine editor. Who sounds much like a character from NBC's new show, Lipstick Jungle, starring Brooke Shields. The novel concept that women can achieve power and independence through magazine layout must simply be in the air—two great television minds influenced by the same muse! Of course, this being television, let's be sensible: two networks came simultaneously to a tired cliché of girlish career ambition which has historically produced semi-decent ratings. How tired? Despite Darren Star's affection for the publishing world (besides 'Mafia,' he's also got a pilot in the works about a book publicist called "Literary Superstar"), it's been a long time since magazines were the pinnacle of real-life occupational glamour. And how many other TV shows have been based on the exact same premise over the last couple of decades or so? Quite a few!
