Meryl Streep Says She's a Humanist

Meryl Streep doesn’t define herself by the F-word. “I’m a humanist, I am for a nice easy balance,” the Oscar winner said when asked if she fancies herself a feminist. But the 66-year-old, who plays British political activist Emmeline Pankhurst in the upcoming flick “Suffragette,” isn’t holding back about sexism in Hollywood either. “Men should look at the world as if something is wrong when their voices predominate. They should feel it,” she said. “People at agencies and studios, including the parent boards, might look around the table at the decision-making level and feel something is wrong if half their participants are not women. Because our tastes are different, what we value is different. Not better, different.” While Streep has publicly spoken about reviving the Equal Rights Amendment, she also admitted that there’s another task at hand: Ridding the red carpet of “absurd” questions regarding strong female characters in film. “No man is ever asked: ‘You often play very strong men. Why?’ It would be an absurd question,” she told the magazine. The actress also mentioned what piece of advice she wishes she could pass on to her 18-year-old self. “Don’t waste so much time thinking about how much you weigh,” she said. “There is no more mind-numbing, boring, idiotic, self-destructive diversion from the fun of living.”

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt Split

Jon Hamm and girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt have ended their long-term relationship. “With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history,” the couple told Page Six in a joint statement. “We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible moving forward.” Speculation of the couple’s split has swirled for months. Hamm, 44, and Wesfeldt, 45, made their last public appearance together on July 22 at the after-party for Netflix’s “Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp” in NYC where eyewitnesses said they were “canoodling all night.” The “Mad Men” star struggled with alcohol addiction and completed rehab earlier this year, crediting Westfeldt as a supportive force during his treatment.

Meet Sandra Bullock's New Boyfriend

Well for goodness’ sake, Sandy, it’s about time. Bafflingly single star Sandra Bullock is, I hear, finally coupled up after finding love in a hopeless place, i.e, with an ex-male model. Apparently Sandra, 51 and still sooo hot, has been off the market for several months after meeting Bryan Randall, a smoking (gross), tattooed model-turned-photographer-but-also-still-a-model living in Los Angeles. SB even invited him as her date to Jennifer Aniston’s top-secret wedding! Bryan, 49, has a young daughter — presumably a playdate for Sandy’s adddddorable 5-year-old son Louis — and has modeled for the likes of Harper’s Bazaar and, well, that’s pretty much all we know. Judging from his pics, he’s pretty foxy and was probably even hotter when he was younger (who isn’t?), so it’s nice to see Sandra hooking up with someone on her attractiveness level. God knows her cheating ex-husband Jesse James was not, nor was anyone else she subsequently dated — although I can’t think of a single person she’s been linked to since her divorce, can you? Even if I could, I’m sure they wouldn’t be good enough. It’s a chilling mystery how someone like Sandy can have such a drab love life. Sandra always seems so fun and spunky and down to earth. Do you think Sandra’s new man could be The One? Or is she asking for trouble by dating this professional pretty face?

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer are Writing a Screenplay Together

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer aren’t just riding jet skis together. They’re making a movie. A representative for Lawrence confirms Wednesday that Lawrence and Schumer are writing a screenplay. In an interview with The New York Times, Lawrence says the two are planning to star in the comedy as sisters. Lawrence seems thrilled by their newfound friendship and says she and Schumer are “creatively made for each other.” The two became friends after the “Hunger Games” star reached out to the comedian to praise her recent film “Trainwreck.” Photos of the two jet skiing went viral online earlier this summer.

Naomi Campbell Convicted of Paparazzo Attack

British supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL has been handed a six-month suspended prison sentence in Sicily, Italy after she was convicted of a 2009 assault on a paparazzo. The runway beauty was on vacation on the Sicilian island of Lipari in August, 2009, with her then-boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin, when she reportedly became angered by the presence of photographer Gaetano Di Giovanni, who snapped away at the couple as the pair walked through the local town. Campbell allegedly lost her temper and swung her purse at Di Giovanni, scratching his eye and leaving him in need of medical treatment. The model’s attorney managed to reach a settlement with the snapper, who agreed to drop the charges against Campbell, but prosecutor Francesco Massara decided to press ahead with the case, insisting it was in the public interest to pursue the counts. The case was heard in court on Friday, when Campbell was found guilty and handed the suspended sentence. Her attorney, Guido Carlo Alleva, has vowed to challenge the conviction. A statement issued to Eonline.com reads: “We are appealing the ruling surrounding the 2009 incident. Due to the ongoing legal process, we cannot discuss the matter further at this time.” Campbell, 45, is known for her fiery temper – in 2007, she admitted to hurling her Blackberry cellphone at her housekeeper. She served a five-day community service sentence in New York City, paid a fine and completed an anger management course. She was accused of a similar attack on her assistant in Canada in 2000, but settled the case by paying an undisclosed sum and agreeing to seek treatment for her anger issues.
