Anne Hathaway Urged ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Producers Not to Cast ‘Alarmingly Thin’ Models

A lot has changed in fashion, media, and culture since The Devil Wears Prada was released two decades ago. But as Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep revive their characters for the upcoming sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, they’re realizing some things have unfortunately stayed the same. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Streep revealed that Hathaway confronted producers about casting “skeletal” models in the film.

Streep recalled being “struck by how not only beautiful and young — everyone seems young to me — but alarmingly thin the models were,” noting, “I thought that all had been addressed years ago.” Hathaway, she continued, noticed, too. “She made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal,” Streep said. “She’s a stand-up girl.”

For fans still waiting for their Hogwarts letter, we have some good news: On Christmas Day, Harry, Hermione, and Ron will return to the screen for HBO Max’s highly anticipated adaptation of the beloved books by J. K. Rowling.

The three soon-to-be best friends collide as wide-eyed 11-year-olds on the Hogwarts Express. The video also offers sneak peeks at some of the most iconic moments from the book including Harry meeting the half-giant Hagrid (Nick Frost), crossing the magically concealed Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station, putting on the Sorting Hat, stepping onto the Quidditch pitch as Gryffindor’s seeker, and tons more scenes likely to conjure up feelings of nostalgia for longtime fans of the novels and previous films.

Kevin Spacey’s ‘Sickness’ Won’t Trigger Payout from ‘House of Cards’ Insurer: Jury

Jurors let an insurance company off the hook Tuesday, rejecting a $29.5 million claim tied to Kevin Spacey’s ouster from the hit Netflix show “House of Cards.”

After a day and a half of deliberations, the panel determined Spacey’s diagnosis of “sexual compulsive behavior” in 2017 was not the primary reason producers halted production and decided to write him out of the show’s final season. In a 10-2 vote for the insurer, jurors said production company Media Rights Capital (MRC) failed to prove Spacey’s alleged “sickness” was the “most important and predominant cause” of its losses, as required under the policy.
