Girlcrushes She is Capable and First I f-cking love her. Who doesn’t love her? We are fighting if you don’t love her. Meryl Streep has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The FIRST ACTOR EVER to receive the honour. EVER motherf-ckers. EVER. The only person to be made a member By Lainey • Apr 12, 2010 08:31 am
Gorgessity Best White: Meryl Streep Ms Streep killed it in a Balenciaga at the SAGs. Someone must be working with a stylist now? And the stylist delivered again for the Oscars. Meryl Streep in white – perfection. The hair – perfection. Her face – perfection. And virtually untouched. As you know however, when it comes to Meryl, it By Lainey • Mar 08, 2010 04:02 am
Girlcrushes Ladies at the luncheon Today was the annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon. Notably absent: George Clooney. It’s a non-campaign year for Clooney. Looks like he’s conceding early to Jeff Bridges. But enough of the boys. Let’s talk about our girls. GO Kathryn Bigelow, poised to become the first woman ever to By Lainey • Feb 15, 2010 01:11 pm
Meryl Streep Sandy says the right things A few years ago, Eddie Murphy pissed on his Oscar chances with a sh-t movie called Norbit. The Norbit billboards directly faced the Kodak, described at the time like a slap in the face to Academy Members who frowned upon his indiscriminate film selections. Sandra Bullock was nominated yesterday for By Lainey • Feb 03, 2010 09:50 am
SAG Awards 2010 SAG Capable: Meryl & Tina Meryl Streep in Balenciaga – love. Tina Fey in Ferragamo – not my favourite. It’s the shine, it gives lumps when there are no lumps. But who cares? These are CAPABLE women. Thinking women. Women who don’t stress about the aesthetic but who will still matter when the aesthetic is By Lainey • Jan 25, 2010 12:25 am
Girlcrushes Meryl + Tina Major fangirl crushing. Last night in New York at the premiere of Meryl’s latest It’s Complicated, Tina showed up to support her co-star Alec Baldwin, of course, but there’s no doubt a lot of respect for La Streep too. After all, aside from her obvious CAPABILITIES, Meryl By Lainey • Dec 10, 2009 06:25 am
Amazingness Meryl covers, cusses, and drinks In other words, as we all know already, she’s perfect. And at 60 years old, Meryl Streep is on the cover of Vanity Fair closing out yet another triumphant year in which she delivered yet another sure-to-be-nominated performance in Julie & Julia with commercial and critical success and followed By Lainey • Dec 01, 2009 02:04 am
Girlcrushes Hearing Meryl Streep After my post on An Evening With Meryl Streep at the ROM many of you asked if there was video. This was the interview with Johanna Schneller during which Streep offered many, many memorable insights including the one about being “capable”. Her mother told her she was CAPABLE. Not special, By Lainey • Nov 10, 2009 08:46 am
Amazingness Meryl works in Rome I was told of a Meryl Streep encounter recently where she was approached by a fan at a café while she was enjoying time with friends and asked for a photo, at which point she very graciously declined and said “I’m sorry, I’m not working right now”. Unlike By Lainey • Oct 22, 2009 09:25 am
Amazingness An Evening with Meryl Streep Last night at the Royal Ontario Museum, in celebration of the ROM’s Vanity Fair Portraits exhibit, Meryl Streep took the stage with Johanna Schneller to discuss “The Question of Celebrity”. 90 minutes of full-on girlcrush. WORSHIP. I met up with 2 friends afterwards and this is how Gabrielle explained By Lainey • Oct 08, 2009 05:05 am
Girlcrushes Meryl That f-cking Shelf Ass had the temerity to put herself in the same sentence with Meryl Streep in an interview. Meryl Streep is too classy to care. But to quote Valentino: I would eat them! Meryl was in LA last night with Amy Adams for the premiere of Julie & By Lainey • Jul 28, 2009 06:00 am
Famewhores Shelfy compares herself to Meryl and Cate She did. I know. My blood is boiling too. Shelf Ass Jessica Biel sat town with the LA Times to promote her gig at the Hollywood Bowl – she’s performing in Guys & Dolls and everyone involved in the production has been raving about her “silvery” voice, her range, her By Lainey • Jul 28, 2009 05:24 am
Award Season Hair 2009 Oscar Kate! So now she has one. How 'bout that whistle from her dad? She was asked in the press room about the criticism she's received from stoic Brits about the emotion she's gushed throughout the course of the season. Her response? I don't give By Lainey • Feb 23, 2009 06:45 am
Girlcrushes BAFTA Blasé: Meryl Streep She doesn’t have to. So she doesn’t. But she respects the occasion too even though this outfit is probably 20 years old and recycled from an awards show during the (to borrow from her speech at the Globes for her Adaptation win) Pleistocene era. Meryl Streep at the By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 12:20 am
Quiveration SAG Ladies and Ralph: Meryl, Susan, Kristin Awards season means the likes of Lauren Conrad are shoved to the side…have you noticed? It’s time for real stars, real celebrity, so f-ck off reality twats because Meryl Streep has just won a SAG. Wearing a pantsuit. Heh. Love that Meryl is never super appreciative. That she By Lainey • Jan 26, 2009 01:56 am
Anne Hathaway Anne’s double win week? She and Meryl Streep tied last night for Best Actress. Anne looked adorably and appropriately surprised. Meryl didn’t bother to show up. She’ll be at the Globes on Sunday, she probably didn’t feel like leaving New York two days early for yet another awards show. Amazing. Early By Lainey • Jan 09, 2009 01:27 am
