...really think it has a lot of crossover potential with the AARP crowd. Which means, I think, that cheapish movies can be cheaply, effectively promoted via the Net - more bad news for the people who sell display ads for the newspapers. I don't think, however, that the next Meryl Streep film is likely to gain a lot of traction among the bloggers. It'll still have to be sold the old-fashioned way, with good reviews, good word of mouth and maybe an Oscar campaign. Shoot! Once again technology fails us in an area where movies need...
...decided to take a chance," Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) muses aloud, "and hire the smart, fat girl." Said smart, fat girl, otherwise known as Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway), is, naturally, present to hear this rumination on the hiring practices of the haughty editor of the haute fashion magazine Runway.

There's this sort of pretend-being-put-upon that we all start: 'Oh God, it's so early, and another scene, ugh, it's so hot ...' She has none of that. She's just...
...countless awards, Streep thanked longtime makeup artist Roy Helland for continuing "to do his best to destroy my natural good looks.") Though Streep's not the type to meekly offer herself up to the makeup trailer. "I thought, We'll sit down and we'll talk, and Meryl will try on a few things and we'll choose one," says Frankel of Streep's look in Prada. "No. Meryl made the decision. She and Roy sent us a photo and said, 'Here's the look.' I said, 'Great.' And the studio were beside themselves and fought it as hard...
