BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The audience at Clive Davis’ white-hot gala included Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who got the most requests to take a selfie. Pelosi received rock star treatment Saturday night from attendees at the annual pre-Grammy event, which also featured a stunning tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, an artist Davis worked closely with for decades. Pelosi’s sarcastic handclap and smirk to President Donald Trump at his State of the Union address went viral last week and launched hundreds of memes. So when Davis announced that she...

Barbra Streisand is so insecure about one side of her face that she canceled an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" because of it, the comedian claims. "If a guest wants you to swap around your set so the camera gets their best side, do you refuse? I've had to switch seats for Mariah Carey four times," Andy Cohen asked Kimmel on "Watch What Happens Live" this week. Kimmel quipped, "I've had a guest ask for that and I said no."

Full title: Barbra Streisand Once Cancelled a Jimmy Kimmel Appearance Because She Wasn't Able to Sit on Her "Best Side"Barbra Streisand is no less a legend than she was in the '90s and aughts, when she had her last major run of film roles, but there is a reason that you don't see more of her on late-night TV — at least on Jimmy Kimmel. The talk show host revealed why that is when sitting down with Andy Cohen for an interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Celebrities that are sick of Donald Trump and the GOP have spent the few weeks leading up to today’s midterms crying about the “raving lunatic” President as they stoked their liberal fans to get to the polls to halt the GOP’s “nascent fascism.” Comedian Rosie O’Donnell even called for a coup: “I want to send the military to the White House to get him.” Singer/actress Barbra Streisand confessed to Trump keeping her awake at nights and actress/activist Jane Fonda saw the “parallels” to the Nazis: “If you’ve read anything about the rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler, you...

Singer Barbra Streisand discovered a huge new piece of information about President Donald Trump Wednesday: he doesn’t have a dog. “Donald Trump has never owned a dog. What does it say about someone who doesn’t like dogs? And of course his sons love killing wild animals for kicks.

Amongst those who contributed in order to attend: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Jamie Foxx, Ben Stiller and Robert DeNiro.

Trump and the Republicans in Congress made history on Wednesday when they secured the most significant tax cut since the Reagan Administration. It was a tremendous feat when you consider how long Republicans have been trying to make this happen.

As usual, she had nothing remotely intelligent to say.

Singer, actress and liberal activist Barbara Streisand is trying to play the “I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar” gender card on behalf of her pal and Democratic presidential front-runner, Hillary Clinton. Streisand recently penned an op-ed in The Huffington Post last week, and how Clinton faces “outright sexism” in the presidential race. Very original. We haven’t heard that one before. She starts with the question, “Why is it that today even a woman as impressive as Hillary Clinton is judged not by her merits and extensive resume alone, but held to a pernicious double standard?” She writes that 22 years...
