Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for May 7, 2015 Dear Gossips, A trailer for the upcoming Ricki and The Flash was released yesterday starring Meryl Streep as a rock star.

Movie Reviews and Previews Carey in Charge On paper, would you ever consider giving Carey Mulligan top billing over Meryl Streep for a movie? Their star power and cinematic trajectories couldn’t be more different. But that’s what happens in the first trailer for Suffragette, which was released today. It’s a first look at what By Joanna • Apr 15, 2015 11:54 am
Oscars 2015 Patricia, Meryl, JLo, and Feminism on Oscar Night I did not see that coming from Patricia Arquette. I thought that, if she made a ‘statement’ in her speech, which we all knew she was going to get to do, that it would be about women, and how it’s hard to be a mother, and respecting the quiet By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 09:52 am
BFFs Julia Roberts: “Wordy Little Tongue Twister” at the SAGs You know, she understands the role she’s supposed to play. Remember Sunset Boulevard? Remember how much Norma understood about the business and what was required? Julia Roberts is not Norma Desmond. Not yet. But she knows what it is that’s required of her, and it’s a few By Duana • Jan 26, 2015 11:03 am
Gorgessity All that matters is Meryl Into The Woods New York premiere last night. Meryl Streep was there. This is all that matters. And look at her. I love this outfit. I love it even more than she didn’t pass her handbag off to an assistant and kept it with her on the carpet. The By Lainey • Dec 09, 2014 11:16 am
BFFs Meryl needs GOOP Have you seen the new look at GOOP? Click here. Does this mean she’s doing away with the personalised letter? Yet another victory for Gwyneth Paltrow this week. You’ve heard the Meryl Streep story, right? Meryl was on Kelly & Michael yesterday talking about Thanksgiving. Apparently her sh-tty By Lainey • Dec 04, 2014 12:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Grant, a goat, and Meryl Hugh Grant was in Austria yesterday at the opening of Gut Aiderbichl Christmas Market holding on to a goat. Is that a goat? I think he’s also promoting a movie. European press tours are so weird. Did you know he’s doing a movie with Meryl Streep next year? By Lainey • Nov 12, 2014 03:03 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Into The Woods singing trailer I think I peaked too early. When we got the teaser trailer earlier this year, I was so excited. I was SO excited. I spent the next week walking around going “… I wish”… fully primed. Gagging for it. Click here for a refresher. And then yesterday morning when I got By Duana • Nov 07, 2014 10:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Into The Woods First Trailer Okay, as you may have gleaned from life and people who sing Rent on the subway, there are several tiers of musical theatre fans. Some who think they love musicals because they watched the VHS tape of Annie, and another version who performed in Pippin growing up and will defend By Duana • Aug 01, 2014 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Meryl Streep, Rock Star She kind of is already, right? Meryl is Meryl like Madonna is Madonna, like Beyonce is Beyonce, like Adele is Adele, like Lorde is Lorde. Meryl is Hollywood’s rock star (sorry Johnny), so it makes sense that she will now play a rock star. Deadline is reporting that Meryl By Sarah • Apr 02, 2014 12:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Giver trailer doesn’t give Taylor Swift I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn’t see her. Then I sent it to our site coordinator Emily and asked her if she saw her. There is no Taylor Swift in the first trailer for The Giver. OK fine. But there is a LOT of By Lainey • Mar 20, 2014 01:41 pm
Oscars 2014 Meryl Streep: Oscars Most Grace So, in today’s unpopular opinion, I hate grace. I hate that it’s the first trait we apply to women who don’t scream their sexiness out all over the place. I hate that it’s used as a synonym for “pretty and polite and thin” but it’s By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 08:49 am
Award Season Campaigning All but Judi Judi Dench was the only Best Actress nominee who did not attend the Nominees Luncheon yesterday. I love that about her. She’s the only one who doesn’t actually give a sh-t. The others most definitely do give a sh-t. Doesn’t mean we can’t love them but By Lainey • Feb 11, 2014 04:04 pm
BFFs Julia Roberts wins Best Picture Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep were pretty tight last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards. They were on the carpet together, they sat together, they hugged several times, and for the most part, on those occasions, Julia held down The Julia, because even Julia knows that Julia < Meryl Streep.

BFFs Angels In America This photo of Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson was taken 10 years ago while they were promoting Angels In America. Which was my first thought when I saw them together last night at the NBR gala where Meryl presented Best Actress to her friend and, at the same time, delivered By Lainey • Jan 08, 2014 05:21 pm
Media Manipulation There you are, Meryl Meryl Streep has been largely absent from promotion for August: Osage County. She’s been shooting movies, busy, and hustling on carpets and at parties isn’t usually her thing, although once in a while, if Harvey Weinstein nags at her hard enough, she’ll oblige. That said, the Academy By Lainey • Nov 26, 2013 12:38 pm
