Kim Cattrall On Board to "Sex" Up the James Beard Awards

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall will be hosting the June, 2008 James Beard Awards in New York City. The move may seem a touch surprising to some, but with the recent elevation of food celebrities to near pop-icon status, adding a big celebrity host to an event honoring the food industry is not much of a shock.

From the JBF site:
