...Woman; in Lyme Regis, England. Swayed by Sartre and Camus, Fowles explored existential themes of obsession, uncertainty and free will, stretching the limits of literary form (he was a fan of multiple endings) and dreaming scenes into existence (Woman, the Victorian love saga that became a hit film starring Meryl Streep, started with his recurring dream of a woman on a pier). Uneasy with his commercial success, he lived largely as a recluse, once saying he could never tell his stories adequately, as "[no] art or science can describe the whole reality of nature...
...photos for his never completed “Atlas of Women.” After Sheldon fell into disgrace, colleges phased out the practice in the 1960s and ’70s. Most photos have since been destroyed for privacy reasons, much to the relief of alumni including FDR, Meryl Streep, and Hilary Rodham Clinton. Now, the remaining posture pictures reside in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Playboy apparently wasn’t interested...
...Prime” is billed as a romantic comedy in which Rafi (Uma Thurman), a 37-year-old recent divorcé begins a relationship with 23-year-old Dave (Bryan Greenberg).

Once all the other characters catch on, comedic chaos ensues...

The dinner, prepared by award-winning chefs Nischan, Peter Hoffman, and Nora Pouillon, featured locally and organically grown food. Meryl Streep, who is also a member of the Center’s board and presented Gore with the award at the ceremony, modeled clothes made from sustainable material. VIPs were driven to the ceremony in a gas and electric hybrid Toyota Prius, while goodie bags filled with environmentally-friendly products were...
This, apparently, is what all the really bad bosses are wearing these days. Filming began last weekend on the movie adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, a roman clef penned by a former assistant to Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. In the movie, MERYL STREEP plays Miranda Priestly, the temperamental, overweening editor of a fictional fashion glossy called Runway--a character based loosely on Wintour. But the movie's stylists did away with the fashion queen's dark bob and sunglasses, reportedly to make the character sexier, more provocative and not so devilish. Or maybe they thought Wintour...
