Cynthia Nixon sliced and diced the New York Post with her rapier wit last week after the truth-challenged tabloid reported that the “Sex and the City” star had undergone breast-enhancement surgery.
“I was at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital for my ‘three-monthly’ checkup,” said Nixon, a breast-cancer survivor. “I was in the Oncology Department. I guess they think that means ‘plastic surgery.’” Badum-bump!
“We got a call from [the Post] asking if I’d had breast augmentation, and my publicist laughed at them and said, ‘No, of course not.’ But they printed it anyway. If I was going to get a boob job, wouldn’t it make sense that I’d get it before ‘Sex and the City’?” Ba-dump!
Especially since she goes topless in a steamy sex scene in the movie.
“Yes, I had breast cancer, but I had a lumpectomy,” Nixon explained. “Some women have reconstructive surgery, but mine did not merit that.
“The story was totally false. It would be annoying and disheartening in any case, but particularly because I’ve been so open about my breast cancer.”
On June 7, Nixon led the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in D.C., helping to raise nearly $5 million in the fight against the disease, from which she’s been clear since spring 2007.
Nixon doesn’t mind all the crazy-level media attention she’s gotten. “I can get the message out to women who are scared or lackadaisical about getting mammograms. A totally routine mammogram found mine, and if you catch it early there’s a 98% survival rate.”
Plus, she gets to hang with the likes of Michelle Obama, as she did the other night at a benefit. “I told her Miranda endorsed Hillary, but I support Obama. And she told me ‘Sex and the City’ was the only grown-up movie she’s seen in months.”
Nixon and partner Christine Marinoni, now a stay-at-home mom to Nixon’s two kids, have decided not to go to California to get married: “In an ideal world, we’d like to do it in New York, when it becomes legalized. Hopefully, it won’t take 20 years.”
