Gurl power at its finest!!

Wanna know what happens when one fierce goddess introduces another??

This is what — Meryl Streep breaks out one of her three Oscars!!

The screen legend introduced Hillary Clinton at the Women in the World Summit on Saturday with a hell of a speech.

Flaunting her Oscar, Meryl declared :

While we were busy relating to her, judging her, assessing her hair, supporting her, worrying about her, she's just been busy working. Doing it. Making [the] words 'Women's rights are human rights' into something every leader knows is a linchpin of American policy.

I am an actress. And she is the real deal.

This (the Oscar) is what you get when you play a world leader (referencing The Iron Lady). But if you want a real world leader, and you're really, really, lucky, this is what you get!

Yeahh!!! Tell it like is, Mer!! We love it!!

And when Hill joined her on stage, she joked:

We do, unfortunately, throughout our lives as girls and women, often cast an appraising eye. I'm just glad she didn't do a movie called The Devil Wears Pantsuits!

LOL!!!

Oooh, Hillary… we love you!!

Re: xcalibur – Meryl is the real deal. But you must think Snooki is the real deal, though, right?

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
