Sit back and have a good laugh at this: At the moment that Hillary Clinton was all but clinching the Democratic nomination for president, Meryl Streep was on a stage in Central Park, impersonating Donald Trump. In orange face makeup and pompadoured hair, Ms. Streep, the chameleonic three-time Oscar winner, did a more than credible version of the presumptive Republican nominee, down to the pursed lips and low-hanging belly. She got the braggadocio-inflected voice, too, even while singing. Ms. Streep was part of the Public Theater’s gala benefit celebration on Monday night, a tribute to Shakespeare at the Delacorte Theater, home to Shakespeare in the Park. She was the closing act with Christine Baranski, doing “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” a number from the Cole Porter musical “Kiss Me, Kate.” “We could do a deal – you’ll let me know – why it is all the women say no?” she sang, stretching out her arms in a Trumpian gesture. Later she strolled the stage, gesticulating to the audience in Mr. Trump’s signature Make-America-Great-Again style. More information courtesy The New York Times.

Yesterday, Meryl Streep has been among the guests at EPIX’ New York premiere of “Under the Gun”. The documentary gives a candid look at the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre. The tragic event took place on December 14, 2012 where 20 children were murdered at their school by a resentful, gun-obsessed shooter. The terrible incident was the deadliest mass shooting at a high school in U.S. history. The shooting prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States but still no changes in American federal gun laws have been made.

Scan Sunday comes a day early this week. With many thanks to my friend Alvaro, pretty much all of the British print promotion for “Florence Foster Jenkins” has been added to the photo gallery. Updates include covers from the Sunday Times Culture, The Lady and Curzon as well as reviews from all the dailies (Express, Mail, Telegraph etc.) For a complete list of additions, have a look at the previews below. Many many thanks for these great contributions. Enjoy reading!

“Florence Foster Jenkins” releases in the United Kingdom today, so be sure to check out Meryl’s highly praised performance as the world’s worst opera singer if you can. With the film’s release, three new clips and a lenghty interview have been released and added to the video archive, alongside with many new production stills from the film.

Last night, Meryl Streep was among the celebrity guests at the New York premiere screening of Gloria Steinem’s “Woman”, which begins airing on the Viceland channel on May 10 and focuses on a variety of issues from sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo to unacknowledged murdered and missing women in Canada, femicide in El Salvador, and the incarceration of mothers in America. A couple of pictures from the arrivals have been added to the photo gallery.

A bunch of new production stills from the upcoming Florence Foster Jenkins have been added to the photo gallery, alongside a new poster from the UK. Enjoy.
