Meryl Streep was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and the ABC late night host asked her some random questions. The two of them were talking about how fans come up to them and ask take a photo with them. So he wanted to know where was the most uncomfortable place that some asked for this? She told him that someone approached her 2 days beforehand in a bathroom outside the stall. So for future reference, don’t ask her or anyone for a picture after they have used the powder room.
Then he went on to ask her if she would to do a Superhero movie and she told him “depends on the powers.” Next question was if she would do a Madea movie which she didn’t answer, but admitted she has seen bits of one. Can you see her watching a Tyler Perry movie?
Then the 3 time Oscar winner went on to share with us that she saw The Beatles live at Shea back in 1965. In fact, she had a poster that declared her love for Paul McCartney. Which nearly half a century later, she got like a thank you from him because he asked her to be in his music video.
I could watch her talk all day because she is so humble and loveable. It’s like everything she says is as perfect as her acting, but she is being real. How can you not adore her? She is a diamond in the rough we call Hollywood!
Bill and Hillary Clinton along with Meryl Streep went to see Holland Taylor star as Ann Richards on Broadway and after the show they all posed together with the inspiring Gabby Giffords for a picture.
Even though I was looking at some political and acting bigs all taking a photo together, the only thing I could notice is how the former President was posing with Oscar winner. I can see that Streep and Hillary are dressed alike and both are blondes, but you would think by now he would know the former Secretary of State anywhere. Right?
Before Meryl Streep was the blonde actress we know her as today, she was a brunette in Julia. She looks the same now as she did when she was just 26 in that 1977 movie.
On Sunday Hollywood gave back to Meryl Streep for amazing acting with a third Oscar, and yesterday it was revealed she has been quietly giving to the community for years without anyone knowing. According to Forbes, her husband Don Gummer and her having been donating millions of dollars without fanfare. Forbes said, “In 2010 alone, they gave away $2.13 million–about half of it to Vassar, but $100,000 to Oxfam America, and another $5,000 apiece to things like New York’s City Meals on Wheels and Coalition for the Homeless. They’re very giving to local charities in their Connecticut neighborhoods, and support museums in Boston and Illinois. Last year they even gave $200,000 to the National Women’s Museum in Alexandria, Virginia.” Yeah I love her even more than I did before. We need more superstars in the world like her and less like the you know whos?
I have to admit I am not a fan of most Oscar movies because they are extremely boring and put me to sleep. So even though I love Meryl Streep, I have no temptation to see The Iron Lady because of all of the Oscar buzz. That was until I saw a clip from the movie on Jimmy Kimmel Live and now I can’t wait to see it.
