Monday was a big night for Cher at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards. The music legend was honored with the prestigious Icon Award and her famous pal Meryl Streep was on hand to present her with the honor. “When I think of Cher, I think of her giant heart. How open it is. How battered it is. And how strong it is. How she leads with her heart in everything she does. In her acting, her singing, her dancing, her dressing. She puts it all out there. It’s brought her lots of prestigious awards. But it has pulled her to work on behalf of our veterans and for LGBTQ rights and for many, many more,” Meryl shared before Jennifer Hudson and Cher sang “Believe” together. Pictures and a video of Meryl Streep’s speech have been added to the archives.

Another wonderful addition to the archives – one I have been looking for ages to finally add to the site: Meryl Streep’s second and final appearance on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show”. After promoting “Marvin’s Room” on the show in 1997, Meryl returned to Rosie’s Halloween-themed episode with a pumpkin (bearing a striking resemblance to Clint Eastwood) and talked about the theatrical release of “Music of the Heart”. The interview can be found in the video archive. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

Here comes a great find we probably didn’t even know existed. In 1984, Meryl Streep on the Norwegian TV-aksjonen, an annual national charity fund raising event, which highlights a different organization each year. 40 years ago, Amnesty International was their chosen organization, and Meryl Streep attended various events and a concert in Oslo. By the end of the fundraiser, 81 NOK millions, which equals 24.9 USD millions today, have been collected. A couple of pictures can be found in the 1984 albums for her public appearances. The Norwegian channel NRK has uploaded Meryl’s interview on TV-aksjonen, which is wonderful to watch. You can find the link below. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

On Friday, Meryl Streep joined Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, showrunner John Hoffman and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for a For Your Consideration event on the Paramount lot, with a conversation moderated by co-star Jane Lynch. The group is currently shooting season four of the series, which is largely set in Los Angeles, on the lot. Streep told the crowd how she called Martin to ask to appear on the show, after having had a “really fun” time working with him on 2009’s It’s Complicated. “I’m sorry, can you believe that Meryl Streep asked to be on this show? I could die,” Gomez exclaimed, as Streep responded, “Doesn’t everybody want to be on this show? They do, because next season, they all are,” referencing the fact that several new stars, including Eugene Levy, Molly Shannon and Eva Longoria, will be joining the cast. “They have to erect barriers to keep these actors out,” she continued. “I was a huge fan of the show, but I also just wanted to have some fun because the world is pretty shitty right now.” She added of the Broadway music-set third season, “I really thought they should have had Selena sing.” A lenghty article on the panel, alongside some brief video clips can be found over at The Hollywood Reporter. Pictures have been added to the photo gallery, alongside some new ones from the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Eugene Levy, Molly Shannon and Eva Longoria are the newest castmember to join “Only Murders in the Building” season four. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Levy will have a recurring role in the series’ upcoming season, marking his first regular television role since Schitt’s Creek ended. While details of Levy’s character are being kept under wraps, he will become integral to the twists and turns of this season’s investigation into Sazz Pataki’s death (Jane Lynch). Shannon is set to portray a high-powered Los Angeles businesswoman who finds herself drawn into the world of Sazz’s murder investigation, while Longoria will play a character who becomes integral to the season’s plot details. The new castmembers join the show’s original characters of Selena Gomez‘s Mabel, Martin Short‘s Oliver and Steve Martin‘s Charles, as well as Meryl Streep’s Loretta Durkin, who became a major character in Only Murders in the Building season three and will reprise her role for season four. The third installment of the Emmy-winning series ended with Sazz being shot in Charles’ apartment after spending her time over the course of the 10 episodes trying to talk to him about something that’s been weighing on her. As she dies, she begins to write something to her longtime friend in her blood. “It feels very in her character to send a message,” co-showrunner John Hoffman previously told The Hollywood Reporter of the final moments of season three. “She’s been trying to do it to Charles throughout the season. She’s hinting to him in episode five that she’s picking up some ham radio chatter, certainly, right when she arrives in the finale, she’s saying, ‘Can I grab you for a few minutes? It’s a little sensitive.’ So, there’s something on her mind and something she may know but to be found out.”

“The Devil Wears Prada” co-stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt joined together 18 years (!) after the 2006 film to present the award for Male Actor in a Comedy at the 2024 SAG Awards. Streep took the stage in a Prada dress to present the first award of the night, but comically stumbled when she reached the microphone. “Two things,” Streep said. “I forgot my glasses, clearly. And the envelope.” Those problems were quickly rectified when her former onscreen assistants Blunt and Hathaway joined her on stage. Blunt brought the envelope, while Hathaway brought Streep’s glasses. Fans of the movie might have noticed that Hathaway wore a cerulean blue dress, perhaps a reference Streep’s iconic speech in the movie where she informs Andy Sachs that she only wears blue because the fashion industry told her too. Jeremy Allen White won the category for “The Bear”, which also took home the prize for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series over Streep and colleagues for “Only Murders in the Building”. Pictures from the ceremony have been added to the photo gallery.

Gird your loins, “The Devil Wears Prada” fans, as the iconic trio of the beloved chick flick is set to have a mini-reunion at the Screen Actors Guild Awards this weekend. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt will grace the stage as presenters of the 30th Screen Actors Guild Awards taking place on Saturday at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California. The trio’s return comes 18 years since the David Frankel-directed film premiered in 2006. The film earned Streep a SAG Award nomination for Best Female Actor in a Leading Role, as well as as an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. It was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design. It also manifested Meryl Streep, for the first time in her career, as a box office powerhouse, followed by “Mamma Mia”, “It’s Complicated” and “Julie & Julia”. The 2024 Screen Actors Guild AwardsAwards will stream live on Netflix on Saturday, Feb. 24.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Meryl Streep is returning to The Arconia, having closed a deal to return for the fourth season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. Streep will again recur and reprise her role as Loretta Durkin, the love interest to Short’s Oliver Putnam. Season three ended (spoiler alert) with Loretta getting an offer to work in Los Angeles. As previously announced, season four of the comedy starring Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez will begin with a trip to L.A. before the central action returns to its central location, The Arconia. In an interview with TV’s Top 5 coming Friday, 20th Television president Karey Burke – whose studio produces OMITB – confirmed Streep’s return. “Meryl is returning for next season because she had a tremendous time,” Burke says in The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast. Streep joins Molly Shannon with recurring roles in season four of OMITB, which is co-created by John Hoffman and Steve Martin. Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), Short, Gomez and Jess Rosenthal also exec produce. Many thanks to everybody for the heads-up.
