After six episodes with no signs of Loretta (except for a voice appearance in episode six), Meryl returned in this week’s seventh episode and more than made up for being missing in action for pretty much of season 4. Who would have thought we’d ever see her in a catfight only rivaled by “Death Becomes Her”. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery – with many thanks to M for sending them over – as well as production stills and on-set pictures. Fingers crossed Meryl will be part of all three remaining episodes.

I cannot remember the last time we’ve had two weeks with that many news and appearances. Yesterday, Meryl Streep attended the annual Albie Awards hosted by the Clooney Foundation for Justice. “For the third year in a row, The Albies continues to be the event that brings us together with CFJ’s friends and supporters to recognize and celebrate those who have put their lives on the line in their fearless fight for justice around the globe,” said Amal and George Clooney. “This year’s awardees have confronted major barriers as well as great danger in their pursuit of justice. The Albies shines a light on their work and we are proud to honor them.” A list of all honorees can be found on the foundation’s official website. Pictures from the event have been added to the photo gallery.

CNN will air an interview of Christiane Amanpour with Meryl Streep and women’s rights in Afghanistan. Amanpour posted a teaser on social media, alongside this tagline. In Afghanistan, it’s “the erasure of an entire gender. And I don’t think it has precedent in history, even in the natural world,” Meryl Streep tells me. But the “Taliban failed to understand that Afghanistan has transformed,” adds former MP and negotiator Fawzia Koofi. “Despite being completely erased from any kind of public and social life, [women] still protest.” My full conversation with Streep, Koofi, and former governor Habiba Sarabi airs later this week”. More than three years since the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban continues to tighten restrictions on women and girls. Hollywood legend and activist Meryl Streep joins the show alongside former Afghan MP Fawzia Koofi and Afghanistan’s first female governor, Habiba Sarabi, to talk about the fight for Afghan women’s rights as reported in the new documentary film “The Sharp Edge of Peace. Edit: The interview has aired on September 27 and can be now found in the video archive.

We’re having a week of unexpected appearances. After the Emmys (which was very expected due to her nomination) and a special appearance at Oprah’s special for Kamala Harris, Meryl was a guest at the UN, today. The Permanent Missions of Ireland, Indonesia, Switzerland and Qatar, in partnership with the Women’s Forum on Afghanistan, hosted a high-level event on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. The event included remarks by UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, and featured a short version of a new documentary film, “The Sharp Edge of Peace”, on the participation of four Afghan women leaders in the Doha talks prior to the Taliban takeover. The screening, introduced by actress Meryl Streep, was followed by an interactive panel discussion including women who participated in the intra-Afghan talks in 2020 and those currently engaged on the ground in Afghanistan. It was moderated by former Swedish foreign minister Ms. Margot Wallström. A couple of pictures have been added to the photo gallery. Meryl Streep’s speech can be watched in the video archive. Edit: After the meeting, a press conference took place, in which the meeting’s participants also spoke. Photos and a video from this appearance have been added as well.

For the last two months, hundreds of organizations and millions of people – from #WinWithBlackWomen to #CatLadiesForKamala and everyone in between – have united to change our country. On one special night, they’ll all come together with one of our country’s biggest forces for good: Oprah Winfrey. Several A-listers were among the thousands who joined a live-streamed event Thursday, hosted by Oprah Winfrey, that united the many grassroots political groups supporting Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. At the beginning of the Unite For America call, Winfrey shouted out Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross and Bryan Cranston for Zooming in. She also highlighted the grassroots groups that have hosted their own Zoom events supporting Harris in recent months, including Win with Black Women, White Dudes for Harris, Win with Black Men, Republicans for Harris, Swifties for Kamala, among others. Elsewhere on the Unite For America call, Streep said she feels “the word of the day has been preventable,” adding that “all of this, the surround of hatred and venom and toxicity and encouraging some segment of Americans to hate other segments of Americans,” is preventable.” “It’s just crazy and nobody wants it,” the actress continued. “We’re done, we’re done with it.” The full show can be watched in the video archive, screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

Meryl Streep is in Los Angeles attending the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards as a nominee for “Only Murders in the Building”. The award, one of the few surprises of the evening so far, did not go to predicted winner Hannah Einbinder nor “industry veterans” Streep or Carol Burnett, but to “The Bear”‘s Liza Colón-Zayas. Edit: Lots of additional pictures from the arrivals, the ceremony as well as screencaptures have been added to the archives. Enjoy.

The Primetime Emmy Awards take place this Sunday. Meryl Streep is nominated for “Only Murders in the Building” and will be attending the ceremony alongside her nominated cast colleagues. On Friday, Robin Roberts hosted “The 76th Emmys: A Night of Firsts”, airing Friday, September 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. A special edition of 20/20, ABC News’ primetime special will give viewers insight into the milestone moments, historic nominations, and powerful storytelling that has defined an epic year of firsts for this year’s television season. The special will feature interviews with nominees Hiroyuki Sanada (Shōgun), Lionel Boyce (The Bear), and Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge), along with television icon Carol Burnett. Chris Connolly will interview hosts Eugene and Dan Levy, as well as Only Murders in the Building stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, and Meryl Streep. An excerpt from the programme, in which Burnett reveals she would love to work with Meryl Streep – and gets an immediate compliment back, has been released and can be watched in the video archive.

On Sunday, the New Jersey Hall of Fame team was thrilled and honored that Actress Meryl Streep stopped by to visit the New Jersey Hall of Fame at American Dream last week to film her remarks for the NJHOF’s 16th annual Induction Ceremony, which will be hosted by Danny DeVito and scheduled to broadcast on November 9, 2024, and premiere on social media in January. “Meryl is widely regarded as the greatest actress of her generation (and probably any generation). The wisdom she shared about the importance of tapping into your imagination to live your best life, was priceless. Meryl is very kind and humble, and proud to be a Jersey girl. She will be formally inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame in November. Details about our television special that is being filmed on location at our new museum and will be released in the coming weeks,” stated NJHOF President Steve Edwards.

Screencaptures from the first episode of Only Murders in the Building’s season 4 have been added to the photo gallery: After finishing the podcast’s latest season, the trio goes to Charles’ apartment to celebrate, unaware of Sazz’s murder as the body has already disappeared. The next morning, Charles texts Sazz and receives a reply that she had to fly to L.A. to double for Scott Bakula. The trio is approached by Bev Melon of Paramount Pictures with a proposal for a film adaptation of their podcast, and they fly to L.A. to discuss the deal. At a party thrown by the studio, they meet the actors who will play them, namely Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria, with the latter advising a relucant Mabel to use the money for her life rights to build something on her own. Many thanks, once again, to M for providing screencaptures, after being generous enough to cover season 3 for us last year.

Ahead of the Season 4 premiere on Tuesday, the stars of Only Murders in the Building were interviewed on Good Morning America to tease the new season and talk about what fans can expect. In addition to the trio- Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez- Meryl Streep was also interviewed from the set of the hit Hulu series. The Hollywood star joined Only Murders last season as the character of Loretta Durkin, a struggling theater actress. “Loretta is who probably I would be if I hadn’t had a series of incredible breaks,” the Academy Award-winner says. “It was special in that way. I kind of came in stripped-down…or Streeped-down,” she added with a laugh. “I just wanted joy. And I got it.” Streep also discussed “Look for the Light,” the song her character sang in Season 3 which was written by Broadway songwriters Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Sara Bareilles. “The song that they gave me to sing was like a gift. It was one of the most beautiful things. I still sing it to my grandchildren,” she revealed. Short says the new season has a “spectacular mystery”, with Gomez adding that she believes “it is our best one.” Season 4 premieres on Tuesday, August 27.
