Sarah Jessica Parker is to play a sexy air hostess on Broadway.

The 'Sex and the City' star will play Italian beauty Gabriella in a new version of hit comedy 'Boeing Boeing' at New York's Longacre Theatre.

The actress, who will tread the boards in April, said: "Everything I have done since 'Sex and the City' ended on TV has been completely different and this will be a fantastic new challenge."

'Boeing Boeing' tells the farcical tale of three flight attendants who have all become engaged to the same man.

Meanwhile, it has been reported Kim Cattrall is claiming she forced a pay rise for herself and co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon on upcoming film 'Sex and the City: The Movie'.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Sarah was always going to get paid a lot but Kim has been telling everyone that she held out for more money, and in turn got better salaries for Kristin and Cynthia."

'Sex and the City: The Movie' is due to hit cinema screens in May.
