Sexy 'Sex and the City' star in our city

Sex star Sarah Jessica Parker spent part of the day Tuesday in the newsroom of our sister paper, the Daily News.

Parker, 49, was in town to shadow Daily News reporters Barbara Laker and Wendy Ruderman in preparation for her starring role as an investigative reporter in Busted, a one-season TV drama based on the Daily News duo's memoir of the same name, which itself was based on their newspaper series "Tainted Justice."

Featuring Parker as one of the reporters, the series will follow the 2010 investigation launched by Laker and Ruderman that uncovered corruption at a Philly police narcotics squad. The series won the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting.

The pilot will be written by Don Roos, who adapted former Inquirer writer John Grogan's book Marley & Me into a big-screen hit. David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) will direct.

No word on who will play the other reporter.
