Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker has denied rumours that she does not speak to co-star Kim Cattrall and they avoid each other.

The actresses were all smiles when they hit the pink carpet for the Berlin premiere of their new movie.

But it has been suggested that Cattrall, who plays the uninhibited Samantha Jones in the show, refused to sit with her co-stars through the screening of the world premiere in London's Leicester Square, and at a party on Sunday night had been dropped off at a different entrance.

Parker has insisted she loves the other SATC stars, saying: "I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else. We are family, there would be no reason to do it otherwise. I'm so proud of the work the other ladies have done, I think they're marvellous."

Rumours of the on-set rift between the two actresses are thought to have centred on the differing amounts of money they were paid during the film.

The stars' publicists have insisted there was no disagreement and that they all get on.

Parker also revealed that the Sex And The City film almost failed to get off the ground.

She added: "There was no script, there was an idea. When it didn't happen, we all went on. Two years ago I had this instinct we should revisit the idea. Our audience grew after we went off-air so the audience created the opportunity."

The Hollywood film followed the success of the highly popular television series set in New York, which ended four years ago.
