And speaking of which, I was unable so far to get Meryl’s appearance on the Colbert Report on August 06, so if anyone’s taped it or is able to help me getting it on the website, please drop me a line. Thanks!

According to a recent interview with MTV, Meryl is not involved in Alexander Payne’s upcoming “Downsizing”, or any new project for that matter. Instead, she’s going to take a break.

Do you know what you’re off to shoot next?
I’m not. I’m gonna take a break. I’ve shot seven movies in two and a half years or something and that is more than I did when I was young and happening. So, no way. I’m taking a boat, far far away, with my family until we all kill each other and then I’m gonna come back and look for work.

Added a video transcript, as well as screencaptures, of Meryl’s appearance on The Early Show.

She likes to eat. She likes learning to cook.  Two-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep said on “The Early Show” Wednesday she has some things in common with her character in her new film, “Julie & Julia”. In fact, Streep said she didn’t have to pretend anything when she played legendary television cook Julia Child. But she wasn’t actually playing an historical portrayal of Child, Streep explained.  “I’m a fantasy Julia Child. That was my out, anyway. I didn’t have to be absolutely dead-on.” “Early Show” co-anchor Harry Smith commented on Streep’s ability to rake in summer movie profits with movies, such as “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Mamma Mia!,” comparing her to Will Smith and his box office bonanzas.  “Go figure. It’s so alarming,” Streep joked. “What’s happening to the world?” Streep added, “It’s bizarre, but it’s a happy surprise.” Smith said she may even be asked to do car crashes and helicopters next. “That’s how it starts,” he said. Streep responded, “Oh, I don’t think they’re going to get me in the cat suit. I would pay to avoid that.”

Entertainment Tonight will today air the trailer premiere for “It’s Complicated”. A preview of the preview (!) can be found over at ET’s official website. Thanks to everybody for the heads-up!

Three new articles have been added to the Magazines Archive – interviews with Parade Magazine and USA Today as well as a very interesting and in-depth background story on the making of “Julie & Julia” by the New York Times. Enjoy your read! Below is an excerpt from the brief but entertaining interview with Parade.

I’m like every other actor, I’ve been unemployed more than I’ve been working. Actors just have a lot of down time. So I’ve never gotten used to being out of work. It’s a very uncertain life and there are only a few people that would sign up to be married to somebody who’s an actor. My husband’s an artist and he understands that, the vagaries of the job. I just take every day is a miracle and I’m really glad that I’m still working and that people are not sick of me, even though even I’m sick of me a little bit.

French photographer Brigitte Lacombe is known for taking the most stunning pictures of Meryl, having accompanied her on movie sets and off ever since “Kramer vs. Kramer”. In the latest issue of W Magazine, Lacombe talks about her latest book, “Anima Persona”, and on working with Meryl Streep:

You’ve photographed Meryl Streep many times through the years. Is it true she hates being photographed?
In the case of Meryl I first [photographed her] on Kramer vs. Kramer. And it’s unfortunate, because even though we’ve developed the most incredible closeness and friendship—truly, I never have enough of photographing her—she is constantly trying to avoid it! I think she kind of tolerates it, you know? And sometimes it’s good, because she has to have a photograph taken and it may as well be me [rather] than somebody else. You know, most women and actresses, at a certain point, will start to feel beautiful in the eye of that moment for the photographer and they start to relax and enjoy it. But Meryl will never get to that point, because she’s not interested in being looked at if she’s not performing.
