This time, the former talk show host is considering something different. According to EURweb, she’s working on a project with Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock about the “inner workings of the Home Shopping Network.”
She tells Variety, “I am the most relaxed I have ever been in my life doing a film because it’s the only real vacation I get (and) I no longer have to be myself. I just love the opportunity to submerge into somebody else’s life and not to have to deal with my own for a while.”
