Some slice shenanigans involving former Sex and the City star and current Gap-commercial ingenue (at least until the Joss Stone ads start airing) Sarah Jessica Parker were reported in yesterday's New York Post. Her limo driver clipped some pizza-eating dude on the street and dude got angry:

The bizarre showdown captured in these exclusive photographs [see scan, above] occurred last Thursday morning when Parker was being driven through Midtown in a chauffeured Lincoln Town Car that had picked the 40-year-old actress up outside her home.

The Town Car was turning east from Sixth Avenue and accelerating when its side mirror clipped the hands of a man who was crossing the street carrying a couple of slices of pizza, said Philip Vaughan, a photographer who witnessed the incident.

"At which point, the guy carrying the pizza threw it on the back of the car," Vaughan said. "He was annoyed. He was shocked."

Then Parker's driver jumped out of the limo, began yelling at the pizza-pitcher and started making a call on his cell phone, Vaughan said.

The men yelled back and forth at each other as angry motorists backed up behind the Town Car honking their horns, and passers-by gawked at the scene. Parker cowered in the back seat of the limo as the confrontation escalated.

Vaughn said the driver "grabbed the pieces of pizza and threw it at the guy."

Then, he said, the two adversaries "started laughing at each other in a strange fashion."

Heh. Sounds like the men simultaneously realized how ridiculous the situation was. Good thing the incident ended in laughter rather than tears or bruises or bloodshed. As good as pizza is, it's not worth dukin' it out over—unless you've got a deep-dish fan mouthin' off.

Anyway, sounds like Ms. Parker did not enjoy being a girl in the back of that town car.
