On April 2nd, Meryl Streep is back as the icy Miranda Priestly in the Devilwares Prada 2, facing off with Anne Hathaway again, and get this, a new. Ancestry.com's study just dropped, that she's actually six cousins with Anna Wentore, the real-life Vogue Boss who inspired the whole character. They dug through billions of historical records and family trees to link them via relatives, Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Kinsey, and both women were. Born in 1949, Streep on June 22nd, Wentore on November 3rd, just five months apart. Streep cracked up about it, saying in a statement it explains everything, and she's troughed like her ancestors would say, while Wentore is no nonsense. Vibe turned Lauren Weisberger's novel into a massive hit back in 2003, leading to the 2006 film that nailed her office setup, on set. Filming wrapped up spots in Italy last year, including the cast chilling with Wentore at a fashion show, but she won't pop up in the sequel, even as.

She steps down from her longtime Vogue editor gig. The movie hits theaters May 1st, tying real-fashioned royalty to Hollywood legend in the wildest way, proving some stories, right themselves. You've been listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered pop culture coverage.
