Meryl Streep

SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE SAOIRSE RONAN’S NAME

Saoirse Ronan arrived at a morning show in London to discuss her movie Little Women, and she’s appropriately attired in pajamas. (Even SHE pronounces her name in several ways – depending who she’s talking to) She’s only 25, but Saoirse has already been nominated for THREE Oscars and she won Best Actress for Brooklyn (which we LOVED) a few years ago. Little Women got her a Golden Globe nomination this year, but Renee Zellweger will be hard to beat. People are already calling Saoirse the next Meryl Streep , and we have to agree.

Harvey Weinstein Heidi Klum Meryl Streep SHE KNEW

HEIDI KLUM: DID SHE KNOW MORE (ABOUT HARVEY) THAN MERYL STREEP ?

Heidi Klum manages to keep a smile on her face in spite of inevitable problems ahead, due to her close relationship with Harvey Weinstein. It’s now common knowledge that Weinstein, who was Executive Producer of Heidi’s Lifetime show Project Runway, used his Runway connection to set up “casting meetings” with models. Many of these models have come forward with lurid details about his behavior. It’s impossible to imagine that, over the years, Heidi never heard ANY complaints about Weinstein. A SHE KNEW poster of Heidi is a likely follow-up to the posters of Meryl Streep plastered all over Hollywood.

Louisa Gummer Mamie Gummer Meryl Streep Movies Suffagette

MERYL STREEP’S DAUGHTERS: GOOD GIRL AND BAD GIRL?

Two of Meryl Streep’s three lookalike daughters turned up for the premier of mom’s new movie “Suffragette.” It’s a British drama about the feminist movement in the late 19th and early 20th century and – hooray- it’s directed by a WOMAN (Sarah Gavron.) Mamie Gummer, 32, above left, is making a good living as an actress – TV series, movies, and onstage. Louisa, 24, is working as a model signed with the IMG agency in NY. Side by side, they look like Good Girl and Bad Girl. Unfortunately, it looks like Mamie is wearing one of her mother’s sensible outfits.

Hope Springs Marriage Meryl Streep Movies Tommy Lee Jones

HOPE SPRINGS: A FAMILIAR RELATIONSHIP EXAMINED

We couldn’t help but appreciate “Hope Springs” after a summer of 3D action movies. Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones play a couple as ordinary as your own parents. We’ve never seen Tommy Lee play a role like this and he is understated and brilliant. After 31 years of marriage they’ve grown apart, and Kay is unhappy and Arnold is oblivious. Kay forces her husband into marriage therapy with embarrassing and fascinating results. Many longtime marrieds will see themselves in these realistic characters (the script was written by a woman – Vanessa Taylor) It’s smart and funny and makes you think – it should be required viewing for anybody who wants to stay married.

Margaret Thatcher Meryl Streep The Iron Lady

AMERICAN MERYL STREEP IS STARRING AS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER MARGARET THATCHER

It’s about time. British actors are often cast to play iconic American figures, but Americans are seldom cast to play important Brits. Meryl Streep (above left) has changed all that. With all the amazing English actresses out there, our own Meryl Streep landed the heroic role of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The movie is called “The Iron Lady” and it is described as “The story of a woman who smashed through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world.” Judging by the photo, Meryl’s off to a good start.

AFI Awards Cher Meryl Streep Mike Nichols

CHER HAD A REUNION WITH “SILKWOOD” COSTAR MERYL STREEP AT THE AFI AWARDS

Cher showed up at the AFI Awards honoring Mike Nichols in her trademark goth look – chains, layers of fishnet, a little black leather, and a perky wig. She just finished her movie “Burlesque” and starts “The Drop-out” with Johnny Knoxville next. Cher and Meryl Streep had a laugh reminiscing about the movie “Silkwood” they did together, which was directed by Nichols.

Amy Adams Julia Child Julie & Julia Meryl Streep Movies

JULIE & JULIA WILL SATISFY YOUR HUNGER FOR AN ENTERTAINING MOVIE

Julia Child’s infatuation with mid-century Paris and the city’s cuisine makes for a delicious true story about her life there in the delightful “Julie & Julia.” Meryl Streep is thoroughly convincing as the towering and enthusiastic Julia and Stanley Tucci is endearing as her supportive husband. Their eventful life in France is serious competition for Amy Adams’ contrasting life in modern New York, but Amy is up for the challenge. All in all, the movie is a triumph for Nora Ephron – we thought mostly women would love this movie, but men seem to like it just as much. We walked out of the movie craving beef bourguignon. And Julia would be proud to hear that her cookbooks have hit the best seller list again.

Meryl Streep was staying at the Peninsula Hotel with her youngest daughter Louisa, and on Saturday afternoon they were walking to their car out front when Louisa pointed out a ruckus outside. A raucous mob of photographers and fans was surrounding Sophia Loren who was outside the front door. “Mother, who IS that?” she whispered. Meryl turned to her daughter and said “Honey, THAT is a movie star!”

Doubt Meryl Streep Movies

DOUBT IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR

Photo Credit: Splash News

“Doubt.” Meryl Streep and Viola Davis, above, are pictured at the New York premier. TV ads and trailers do not do this brilliant movie justice. If you think you know what this movie is about, you will be very surprised. Not only is the script subtle, intelligent, and touching, but the viewer walks away from this movie a changed person. You may judge things differently and realize there may not be an absolute right or wrong. And you won’t soon forget it.
