My My, How Can I Resist You?

Here she goes again.

It's official: Meryl Streep will follow her musical turn in last summer’s A Prairie Home Companion with the starring role in the movie adaptation of Mamma Mia!, the popular ABBA musical. Production is expected to begin this summer.

Ever the audience and critical darling, Streep – whom I long resisted because she really is so good it’s annoying – is keeping busy these days.

Not only is she currently enjoying plenty of acclaim for her work in The Devil Wears Prada, she has several films slated to come out later this year, and is attached two a couple of high profile projects, like Lions for Lambs, alongside Tom Cruise and Robert Redford, and Dirty Tricks, alongside Annette Bening and Gwyneth Paltrow.

That’s (hardly) all.
