Meryl Streep has been in the acting business a long time and so inevitably she's done a lot of interviews through those years. So Jimmy Kimmel decided to hit her with questions she's hopefully never heard before on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (Weeknights, 12 a.m. EST on ABC). There were certainly some fun answers, including her take on "Jersey Shore" and even a ghost story!
As a girl from New Jersey, Streep said of "Jersey Shore," "It doesn't represent us well."
She answered no to a wide variety of questions, including some interesting ones. She said she's never Googled herself or bought anything off of eBay, which seems unheard of in this day and age. And she's never lit a firecracker, which seems unheard of in almost any day and age.
She did, however, have a ghost experience, though she never actually saw a ghost. Apparently, the upstairs of her guest house has some odd happenings going on. Once when staying there, she heard a sound overhead like a grand piano falling, but when she went upstairs to see what the cacophony was, there was nothing. Guests have since reported strange sounds as well. She should probably call in one of the various ghost hunting shows to check it out.
Meryl Streep can be seen in the role of Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." "Jimmy Kimmel Live" airs weeknights at 12 a.m. EST on ABC.

After their recent encounter with "A," Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer think they may be closer than ever to figuring out who "A" really is. But when the girls decide to enlist Caleb's hacking skills to help with their quest, Hanna no longer wants a part of the plan. Instead of focusing on figuring out who the "helper" is, Hanna decides to put all of her efforts into throwing a surprise party for Caleb. But will a surprise party at Spencer's lake house be the diversion Hanna is looking for, or just a recipe for disaster? Meanwhile, Aria and Ezra must deal with the aftermath of coming clean.

Meryl Streep's performance is outstanding -- definitely Oscar-worthy -- and as a portrayal of a mentally decaying woman, it is truly touching. But this could be the crux of the problem I have with The Iron Lady.
Celebrities hopping into bed with the diet industry is nothing new, of course. Ever since a size 12 Oprah Winfrey wheeled a cart filled with 67 pounds of animal flesh onstage to celebrate her hard-won weight loss, stars have known there's money to be made by spilling your guts about your overspilling gut.
Meryl Streep's eery reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady brings to mind Thatcher's most famous quip, "there is no such thing as 'society.'" The GOP hasn't quoted her yet, but they might as well.
Progressives will likely take umbrage with the movie's glorification of Thatcher. But in the end, Thatcher's obstinacy becomes her downfall. No matter how the movie glorifies her rise to power, her fate is the strongest indictment of her character.
Meryl Streep's recent speech pointed out the ridiculous fact that we still don't have an actual National Women's History Museum. The bill that would make it possible has been submitted every year for seven years.
