STREEP’S ADDICTED – TO ‘HOUSEWIVES’
THREE-TIME Oscar winner Meryl Streep is one of Hollywood’s most respected big-screen stars, but tipsters dish she’s got a secret small-screen guilty pleasure — “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!” “When you think of one of the most famous actresses of all time, you expect that in her spare time she’d enjoy watching sophisticated programing where she could study the acting of her peers,” spills an insider.
“But when Meryl kicks back during her time off, she tunes in to reality TV — specifically ‘RHOBH!’”
Critically acclaimed Meryl has notched an astonishing 21 Academy Award nods and took home statuettes for “Kramer vs. Kramer,” “Sophie’s Choice” and “The Iron Lady.” And the source says the trophies are by her side as she catches the reallife drama of the catfighting “RHOBH” stars — including Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne!
During a computerized video chat with the cast and crew of the Netflix movie “Don’t Look Up,” the highbrow actress, who played the president of the United States in the film, talked climate change — then switched gears to confess, “I’m reading everything about the climate and it’s happening right now. And what do I do? I go in and watch ‘[Real]
Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ I do that.”
“Meryl says the fun thing about the ‘Housewives’ is that they’re not struggling to play a scripted character. They’re caricatures in themselves,” the insider snitches.
“Meryl insists you couldn’t make up these personalities and their problems. She tries to never miss it, and if she has something else to do, she has her assistants record it, so she’ll never miss an episode!”
