MERYL STREEP - PALTROW HELPS STREEP PARENT WITH PERSONAL DATA DEVICE

Oscar-winning actress MERYL STREEP was thrilled when GWYNETH PALTROW shared one of her parenting secrets - using her Blackberry personal organiser to multi-task. The ADAPTATION star now uses her handheld wireless device to keep track of her four children via phone calls, emails and text messages. She explains, "Gwyneth Paltrow put me on to it. It's the best parenting tool, because you can use it during a scene and no one will notice." Streep juggles her acting career with motherhood but claims her children don't mind when she's away at work. She says, "Believe me, these kids would love nothing more than for me to be gone every night and all weekend. "It would be their dream come true! Not going to happen."
