| • | "CALLER: My question is, you were smoking in the final episode, how hard was it to quit and have you started again? PARKER: Fair question, fair question. KING: You used to smoke. I know a nonsmoker and a smoker. PARKER: Listen, this was compounded by being in Paris, a city where you're still allowed to smoke. KING: Are you a smoker? PARKER: You're basically encouraged to. I smoked when I was playing -- in the early years of Carrie and of course, when I had a baby I didn't and didn't smoke for two years until I went to Paris and, you know, this is the great seduction of a city like Paris with great architecture and food and wine and, so, it's been, it's not been the easiest thing. It was, I told Michael Patrick, I said, oh, please, don't -- must she smoke again? And, you know, like I said earlier, Michael Patrick writes great stories and it's hard once you read a story to not see his point. But it's not been the easiest thing to not to smoke since then. KING: Have you smoked since? PARKER: Since then, of free will, you mean, without being employed? Yes, but I'm generally not a smoker. I mean, I have a child, so it's changed everything, luckily. KING: Does Matthew approve or disapprove? PARKER: No he would not want anyone around him. KING: You wouldn't smoke around Matthew. PARKER: Matthew doesn't want me to ever smoke. KING: So you sneak smoke. PARKER: I don't really. My lawyer has advised me not to answer this question. I wouldn't call myself a smoker. I would say I had to smoke for work and then I slipped, but I think I'm on the straight and narrow and I think Matthew would like me not to smoke", Larry King Live (CNN), Feb. 29, '04

Thats when Justice Scalia reportedly emerged from a nearby Town Car and rushed over to praise the star. He was absolutely gushing, telling her how much he loved her show and how excited he was to see the movie, says a witness. Finally, he asked her if he could bum a cigarette. She obliged, the witness said, and then Scalia strolled away. A Supreme Court spokeswoman confirmed the meeting to New York magazine, but denied the cadge. He was there for a symposium, she said. And he lent her a match. Legal Timess Tony Mauro is throwing a little water on the story. Writes Mauro: The version from inside the Court, corroborated by a source in New York who witnessed the encounter and wants to remain nameless, is quite different. Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg says she did confirm the meeting, but not the details that the magazine offered. In reality, Arberg said, Justice Scalia did not need a cigarette. But when Parker asked for a light for hers, he provided it (as any Old World-style gentleman like Scalia would, we might add)", Wall Street Journal, Jun. 9, '08
