Happy 10th
Anniversary, Barbra and James!
(July 1) - As celebrity weddings go, none was more spectacular
than when Barbra and James Brolin took their vows on July 1,
1998. The whole world seemed transfixed as Barbra and Jim said
their "I do's" in front of family and friends at their home in
Malibu. And with Barbra in charge of every detail, you know
their special day was perfection personified. Happy tenth
anniversary, Barbra and Jim. |

The
Barbra Connection:
Sunset Blvd.
(July 1) - It was one of the most successful Andrew Lloyd
Webber musicals to hit Broadway and London in recent years, so
it was only fitting that Barbra Streisand would record the two
show-stopping mega hits from Sunset Blvd. And in 1993,
Barbra added to the stage show's popularity. Just like the
character Norma Desmond, when Barbra sang "As If We Never Said
Goodbye," it marked her own big comeback. |

Remembering
George Carlin
(June 23) - The New York Times reports that famed
humorist George Carlin died yesterday of heart related
complications at his home near Los Angeles. He was 71. Carlin
was known to audiences for his cutting edge stand-up comedy,
often peppered with an irreverent and anti-establishment
perspective. Streisand fans will, of course, remember Carlin
for his marvelous scene-stealing portrayal of Eddie,
Susan Lowenstein's pal in "The Prince of Tides." |

Barbra Honors
Warren Beatty
(June 13) - At the American Film Institute's tribute to Warren
Beatty last night in Hollywood, Barbra dropped by (via video)
to offer her congratulations. A brief clip of Barbra's comic
tribute was released today in which she said, "I would
describe Warren Beatty as an incredibly gifted ... gentile."
The AFI tribute to Warren Beatty, and, presumably, the entire
Streisand video, will air on USA network in late June or early
July. Check your local listings. |
