We're sure you'll be surprised to learn that Meryl Streep was one of Donald Trump's favorite actresses in 2015
Meryl Streep's comments about Donald Trump at the Golden Globes on Sunday were predictably met with a strong negative reaction from the president-elect on Monday morning. In another bit of news that will make you sigh and say, "Of course he did," a 2015 profile of Trump in The Hollywood Reporter has resurfaced, in which Trump strongly praises Streep. SEE ALSO: Fill out this job application form to be considered for Trump's cabinet Trump, who referred to Streep as "over-rated" on Twitter on Monday referred to her as one of two actresses he loved in 2015. Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017 Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him....... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017 "groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017 "Julia Roberts is terrific, and many others. Meryl Streep is excellent; she's a fine person, too," Trump said, in response to the question "Any actress you love?" "The problem," Trump continued, "Is I'll name three or four or five and then the hundred that I know will be insulted, and I don't mean to insult them." Streep's fall from the top two out of 100 actresses Trump loves to "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood" is an impressive drop for the actress. Particularly given that Streep has done little to tarnish her legacy since 2015 aside from being nominated for an Oscar for Into the Woods, a Golden Globe for Florence Foster Jenkins, and picking up an honorary Globe for lifetime achievement . Take a look at the acceptance speech that got Trump so mad that he had to wake up and tweet about it below.

Lexus stretches the definition of luxury with the LS
After much teasing and not a little hype, the 2017 Lexus LS has made its global debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Historically, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the benchmark against which all full-sized luxury production sedans are judged on all criteria from quality of leather trim to the suite of next generation technology on offer. In terms of the latter, Lexus is touting the new car as the first that's capable of detecting and steering around a pedestrian if a collision is imminent, rather than simply performing an emergency stop.

Swiss Muslim girls must take swimming classes with boys: Europe court
Muslim parents in Switzerland cannot refuse to send their daughters to school-run swimming lessons with boys, Europe's top rights court said Tuesday, dismissing a challenge by a Turkish-Swiss couple claiming the rule violated their beliefs. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) accepted that the refusal by Swiss authorities to exempt the couple's two daughters from the compulsory lessons interfered with their freedom of religion. School plays "a special role in the process of social integration, particularly where children of foreign origin were concerned," the ECHR, which is based in the French city of Strasbourg, said.
