We love lists!! They're so fuNN!!! That's why we miss all those VH1 shows sometimes… like 100 Greatest Trainwrecks Of The 90s!! LOL, okay, that's not a real show… but it should be!!

And Time magazine has just released their list of the Greatest Performances of the Year!! OK, OK… it's not really a list. They're not ranked. They're all #1!!

Who made the cut?? Only some of the most fabulous actors in the world!!

Like George Clooney (yum), Jessica Chastain (can we say break-out talent of the year), Viola Davis (perfection), and Uggie (Teddy's favorite)!!!

Then again, who wouldn't! She's the most acclaimed actress in all the world. It's like being in the presence of Margaret Thatcher or The Queen! (Who else doesn't think that part was robbed from her by Helen Mirren! We kid, we kid. )

Kathy Griffin has made her living poking fun at some of the most recognizable celebrities of the day, but we've just learned that there is one actress that actually renders the comedienne speechless: Meryl Streep!

On Monday, Kathy was at the AARP Magazine's 11th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards in Beverly Hills and while walking the red carpet, she walked right past the Oscar-nominated actress … and crawled right into the fetal position. She explains:

Mary Poppins continues to stay in people's hearts since its 1964 release.

Now, Disney is dusting of Ms. Poppins for a new flick chronicling how Walt Disney got the rights to the book.

The new film, Saving Mr. Banks, will show how close Mary Poppins' author, Aussie P.L. Travers, was to her prized book.

So who are the megastars slated to play Disney and Travers?

None other than Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep!

We're glad to see this is finally going to happen! Been a looooong time coming!

Way back in October 2010, we heard that Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts were in talks to star in a film version of Pulitzer/Tony-award winning play August: Osage County!

For those who haven't seen the play, it revolves around a grieving mother and daughter who mercilessly argue with each other, following the death of the family's patriarch.

Now, Weinstein Company executive David Glasser is saying that the film may start shooting THIS September, in hopes of wrapping production by the end of 2012!

If all goes according to plan, the film will be in Oscar contention during the 2013 awards season…and we have a feeling it'll DESTROY the competition!

What do U think? Are U excited to finally see an August: Osage County film? Do U think Meryl and Julia are right for the roles???

It's a big day in anyone's life when they meet Meryl Streep … but to meet Meryl AND Angelina Jolie AND Brad Pitt all in the same day?

Well, we would've just keeled over!

But that is exactly what happened to Melissa McCarthy at the Golden Globes and she shared her HIGHlarious story with Ellen this afternoon on her birthday show. Check out the video (above) to hear how Melissa fangirled out on Meryl and made Brangelina stop talking so she could look at them.

You heard us. LOL!!!!

Earlier today, we announced the full list of the 2012 Oscar nominees, and we were pleased with many of the selections!

Now, some of the nominated stars have opened up about the Academy's choices!

Here's what Gary Oldman had to say about his Best Actor nomination for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy:

Very similar to the Golden Globe nominees … but we already knew that was going to happen!

This morning, the nominees for this year's Academy Awards were announced and the best of the best in Hollywood has A LOT to celebrate. From George Clooney to Meryl Streep, we don't think there is an A-lister left out of the pool this year and rightly so — it was a GREAT year for movie. (P.S. - This marks Meryl's 17th nomination! Crazy!)

Scorsese's Hugo leads the pack with a whopping 11 nominations across the board, but do you know who our personal favorite nomination is? Melissa McCarthy for Bridesmaids! Yes!!! So well deserved! As was The Muppets' nomination for "Man or Muppet" for best Original Song! We knew they would get in there somehow! And for all you Potterhead fans out there, fear not; the final film managed a nod for Art Direction, so it isn't going completely unrecognized. (Then again, there was one more available spot to fill in the Best Picture category. Juuuuuust saying!)

Who do U think will walk away with an Oscar?

The Weinstein Company's after party was full of wild behavior and celeb buzz!

For the post Golden Globes fiesta, some of Hollywood's biggest names stopped by, including Meryl Streep, Tilda Swinton, Viola Davis, Bradley Cooper, and Leo with his mother as his date!

But the biggest surrounded a "together but not together" couple of Diddy and Cameron Diaz.

Sources say that Diddy arrived (alone) and after posing with the Hilton ladies, preceded straight to the back parking lot where a tent had been pitched.

Diddy found Cameron talking to a guy and all he said was "Let's go."
