"Funny Girl" Barbra Streisand won't be laughing about this one: her assistant was busted on drug charges.

Tina Fortenberry was arrested in Malibu on Wednesday after cops found cocaine, methamphetamines and a dangerous weapon inside her car, cops said Saturday.

Police pulled over Fortenberry, 52, on the Pacific Coast Highway when they saw her vehicle had expired tags. When they searched her car, they allegedly found the drugs.

They also seized a "sap," a blackjack-style weapon, according to the celebrity Web site TMZ. Malibu police couldn't confirm the type of weapon.

Fortenberry - who was on her way to the post office on an errand for Babs - also was busted for driving with a suspended license.

LOL! She had dope, a blackjack and a suspended license. I guess the rules do not apply to these people.

Good thing her name isn't Sarah Palin.

I didn’t realize that Streisand was with her when she was busted! :)

I bet she owes back taxes too.

I bet there are drugs and/or weapons in 75% of the cars in California.

"Tina Fortenberry was arrested in Malibu on Wednesday after cops found cocaine, methamphetamines and a dangerous weapon..

Doesn't she know that cooking meth isn't a very green activity?

And a weapon? How un-liberal like of her....If someone trys to steal from her, she should just give them everything they want, because obviously, they need it more than she does.

[pissant]

Holy smokes. That is one ugly dude.

[Trajan88]

wonder where she hid the brass knuckles?

When they searched her car, they allegedly found the drugs.

Over an expired license tab? She must have been drunk too or consented to the search. Otherwise she will get off. The Supreme Court ruled on a case like this a few weeks ago, and if there is no reasonable reason to believe there is more evidence of the current crime (expired tab), the search is not legal.

[pissant]

Sounds like she may have been looped.

uh....no she doesn’t
