We have a sighting! Neither Karen nor I has made it to the theaters to see It’s Complicated, the romantic comedy starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and Steve Martin. But several friends and readers have, and they’ve been able to confirm that one of our planners does indeed make an appearance. Writes a friend:

“The funny thing about Meryl Streep’s character (in the movie) is that she forgets appointments and meetings. Steve Martin’s character gives her the gift of the leather bound Quo Vadis planner to help her remember her appointments with him. When she opens the gift, the back of the planner is face up. The imprinted Quo Vadis label is displayed before she turns the planner over.”

Note that we did *not* pay for product placement, which is part of the reason we’re so excited about this! Director Nancy Meyers is apparently just a fan of Quo Vadis — as is Meryl Streep.

Speaking of movies and stars… Karen got a special request recently that got our own tongues wagging. Turns out, Meryl Streep loves the Minister! So does the director of her next movie—an as-yet-untitled romantic comedy co-starring Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin—Nancy Meyers.

Apparently, Nancy wants to use a Minister (in one of the new Habana covers) as a prop in a movie. The planners are sold out in stores, but we were able to dig up a couple from the factory and send them over.

Look for them in the movie!
