This year’s Albie Awards, hosted by The Clooney Foundation For Justice and held at The Natural History Museum in London, England, honored Gambian women’s and girls’ rights activist Fatou Baldeh, Guatemalan journalist Jose Rubén Zamora, celebrated American newspaper editor Marty Baron of Spotlight fame, and global women and girls champion Melinda French Gates. “At The Albies, the sacrifices and courageous commitments to justice and human rights take center stage,” Amal and George said after the announcement of the honorees. “This is a celebration of the individuals whose lives and careers have come to embody those values that form the cornerstone of our foundation’s global work.” The Clooney Foundation for Justice wages justice by providing free legal aid in defense of free speech and women’s rights in over 40 countries. Its work has led to dozens of journalists being set free and thousands of women receiving free legal support to defend their rights. Pictures from the ceremony have been added to the photo gallery.

It took half the season, but Meryl Streep is finally back. Loretta made her grand return to the Arconia for the first time since her wedding, but sadly it’s for an unfortunate reason. Her apartment of 47 years burned down, and she lost everything in the fire. As we saw at the end of last week’s episode, Sofia and Rainey appear to be up to no good, which means the trio finally has two suspects that their Wondify contract doesn’t stop them from podcasting about. And in even more good news, Sofia returned Charles’s phone without issue, and he’s put that relationship behind him – so he’s back to the dating apps to satiate his testosterone-fueled appetite. Screencaptures and production stills from the episode have been added to the photo gallery.

Divas collided at the Dolce & Gabbana Milan Fashion Week show on Sept. 27, as Meryl Streep, reviving her character Miranda Priestly from “The Devil Wears Prada,” met up with real-life Vogue editor Anna Wintour backstage at the Milan Fashion Week earlier today. Wintour, who served as Vogue’s lead fashion editor from 1988 to 2025, was the supposed inspiration for Streep’s mercilessly powerful, yet impeccably elegant Priestly, who runs the fictional fashion magazine Runway in the film. Both donning their iconic dark sunglasses at the indoor event, the pair shared a hug and a laugh backstage. A video posted on Vogue’s Instagram shows the two rubbing shoulders, catching up, and Streep, clearly breaking character, admitting, “This is my first fashion show.” The video also shows Wintour chatting with Streep’s co-star, Stanley Tucci, who played fashion correspondent Nigel in the 2006 film, and Simone Ashley, who is set to appear alongside Streep and Tucci in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” next year. Here’s a collection of online articles with plenty of pictures from the runway appearance.

Meryl Streep graces the September 22 cover of the New Zealand’s Woman’s Weekly. Her cover picture comes from the filming of “The Devil Wears Prada 2”. The article, unfortuantely, is quite generic, featuring bits from archive interviews and public knowledge, so don’t expect to be enlightened. Scans can be found in the photo gallery, with an excerpt from the article below: As the frosty and fearsome Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep was at her formidable best in The Devil Wears Prada. Her 2006 portrayal of the disdainful fashion magazine editor, whose withering gaze leaves her underlings quivering in her wake, managed to win Meryl a whole new cohort of fans who hadn’t even been born when she first rocketed to fame. Now 19 years later, the A-lister is doing it all over again – sliding into Miranda’s oh-so chic shoes, looking every bit as indifferent and in vogue as she did the first time around. Filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been underway in New York since June – with a release date slated for May 1 next year – and hardly a day goes by when fans haven’t been treated to a sneak peek of her in full Miranda regalia. From a pair of squaretoed snakeskin heels to a voluminous crimson evening gown, snapshots of the 76-year-old have been pored over by devotees eager to get a first glimpse of the star in action.

More than 400 Hollywood stars, including Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, Selena Gomez, Natalie Portman, Maya Rudolph, Martin Short and Joaquin Phoenix, have signed an open letter by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) condemning Disney’s indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! under pressure from the Trump administration. The letter, released five days after Disney “pre-empted” the late-night talkshow over host Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on the death of slain rightwing activist Charlie Kirk, calls on all Americans to defend their right to speak freely. It states that efforts to pressure artists, journalists and others with retaliation for their speech “strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country”. The open letter can be read on the ACLU website. Thanks to everybody for the heads-up.

We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country. Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation. In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees.

Robert Redford, the Oscar winner and Sundance Film Festival founder, star of movies such as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, “The Way We Were” and “Out of Africa”, died early Tuesday. Redford’s long-time publicist Cindi Berger told The Hollywood Reporter he died at his home in the mountains of Utah, “the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved.” Redford leaves behind his wife of 16 years, Sibylle Szaggars, and is survived by two daughters, Shauna and Amy. The actor-producer-director, a four-time Academy Award nominee and honorary Oscar recipient, was one of the few truly iconic screen figures of the past half-century, the avatar of a certain kind of all-American ideal who nonetheless took a dyspeptic view of his country in several notable dramas. Among the many tributes pouring in, Meryl Streep submitted a quote to Deadline, which can be read below. Redford and Streep co-starred in 1985’s Best Picture winner “Out of Africa”, and Redford directed Streep 22 years later in “Lions for Lambs”, in which he also acted.

One of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend. (Meryl Streep, Deadline, September 16, 2025)

The first three episodes of “Only Murders in the Building”‘s fifth season have premiered today on Hulu and Disney+. The first batch of reviews for the season have been published as well, and so far its sitting comfortable at 100% on RottenTomatoes. On the downside, Meryl Streep’s Loretta has only been mentioned in the episodes so far, but didn’t actually show up. We will have to wait and see with seven more episodes airing weekly each Tuesday until October. A selection of reviews have been collected below.

While we’re still eagerly anticipating the season 5 premiere of “Only Murders in the Building” on September 9 – and hopefully some promotional tour or interviews next week – let’s take another dive into the archives with additional pictures from the first ten years of Meryl Streep’s career. Among the highlights is a backstage picture of Meryl visiting co-star Raul Julia after performing “Dracula” at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1978 and a picture from the rehearsals for the 1988 MacDowell Benefit at Christies with Garrison Keillor. In between, more pictures from the 1980 Oscars and premieres for “Kramer vs. Kramer” and “Sophie’s Choice”. A full list of updates can be found below.

The Hollywood Reporter has published an article on the media scrutiny on the recent filming of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in New York City – and how he publicity on the film tarnish rather than help it: “The Devil Wears Prada 2” doesn’t arrive in theaters until May 1, 2026, but plenty of moments between stars Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are already online, thanks to paparazzi and fan videos shot on the streets of New York. Onlookers have captured scenes of Hathaway’s Andy Sachs running down New York sidewalks and Streep’s Miranda Priestly ascending the Met steps from a distance. Others have gotten so close that actual dialogue from the movie can be heard. No, it’s not a Marvel or Star Wars movie where spoilers really matter. But for the filmmakers behind Prada, dealing with paparazzi and fans can clearly be an unwelcome distraction. (In videos posted to social media on Aug. 20, Hathaway and star Stanley Tucci can be seen asking paparazzi to “relax” and step back while filming a scene in Central Park.) According to sources THR spoke with, Manhattan is among the hardest places in the world to shoot, at least in terms of avoiding unwanted attention. This could partly be due to New York being a walkable city while L.A. is car-centric, or because much filming in L.A. was done on studio lots. But it could also be due to New York’s lack of anti-paparazzi laws. (California has enacted legislation targeting unwanted intrusion, harassment and trespassing by paparazzi, though the First Amendment clearly protects filming on public streets.) Koskoff wants New York to pass similar legislation to help guard against aggressive tactics. The complete article can be read over here.

Production is officially underway on Greta Gerwig’s eagerly awaited adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew, the chronological prequel to The Chronicles of Narnia. Filming has kicked off in London – including Shepperton Studios – with Seamus McGarvey on board as the director of photography. Gerwig, who signed on to write and direct at least two Narnia films for Netflix in July 2023, continues her signature blend of innovation and whimsical storytelling in this reboot. Gerwig’s Narnia promises a “rock and roll” reinvention of the beloved classic – bigger, bolder, and more vividly imagined than previous versions. It embraces the rich mythology of C.S. Lewis’s world while infusing it with a grounded, emotionally resonant lens. This adaptation uniquely begins with The Magician’s Nephew – a departure from the 2000s films that launched with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It roots the saga in origin story territory, spotlighting Digory and Polly’s discovery of Narnia’s creation. Filming kicked off around August 11, 2025. While there haven’t been any official cast announcements yet (Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig and Carey Mulligan are attached), Meryl Streep has been announced a couple months ago to voice the role of Aslan. We’ll have to see if this turns out to be true. For now, a two-week IMAX theatrical release slated for Thanksgiving Day (November 26) 2026, followed by Netflix streaming on Christmas Day 2026.
