Barbra Streisand Cloning Demi Moore Dog

DEMI MOORE CANNOT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT PILAF

Demi Moore recently reached out to her former Malibu neighbor, Barbra Streisand, for advice – on pet cloning. Back in 2018, the notoriously frugal Barbra made headlines when she revealed she dropped $50,000 to clone her dog Samantha. Well Demi is glued to the hip of her mini pooch, Pilaf, and even though the dog is still relatively young, Demi can’t bear the thought of losing it. She wants to be proactive and have the process in place so she turned to Barbra for some insider information. The price of cloning a dog has actually gone up since Barbra did it, but since money isn’t an object for Demi, she’s already had Pilaf’s DNA extracted and stored for cloning.

Barbra Streisand Ryan O'Neal Thanks for the Memories The Candy Store

RYAN O’NEAL: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

It was back in the 70’s when we were partying at the small and exclusive club in Beverly hills called The Candy Store. A recent arrival in LA from Chicago, we loved nightclubbing because we always ran into movie stars. On this night we were mesmerized by the sight of What’s Up Doc? costars Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand, apparently out on a date. They danced very close and when they sat down, Barbra was openly affectionate and possessive and coy- she seemed to be crazy about him. He was attractive – looked like a college frat boy. Barbra’s romantic notions didn’t pan out (they never became a couple) and that was probably for the best. Ryan went on to have 4 kids and three out of four were drug addicts – Ryan took the blame. But he made some sweet, funny movies and we appreciate him for that…

Barbra Streisand Paparazzi Ryan O'Neal The Candy Store

VISUAL PROOF OF STREISAND CRUSH

Here’s a fun coincidence. In the previous gossip item I told you about Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand back in the day, giggling and carrying on in the throes of a fling at The Candy Store in Beverly Hills. It so happens, my friend Gary Lewis, a well-known paparazzi, was OUTSIDE the club that night and shot THIS photo of the couple arriving. He also remembered Barbra being very giddy and holding on to Ryan like a trophy. Anyway, this photo kinda proves my point! It WAS a romance…will it be in her book?

Autobiography Barbra Streisand Book My Name is Barbra Ryan O'Neal

WILL BARBRA STREISAND LEAVE ANYTHING OUT OF HER LIFE STORY?

Barbra Streisand’s memoir (around a thousand pages!) is due to be released in November- just in time for Christmas gifts. Naturally her life story will include her Hollywood romances and we can’t wait to read the chapter about Ryan O’Neal. Barbra and Ryan costarred in two comedies- What’s Up Doc and The Main Event. Apparently Barbra had a huge crush on Ryan after their first movie and I saw them together one night at The Candy Store in Beverly Hills. She was ALL OVER him! Barbra was giggling and nuzzling Ryan and sitting on his lap half the time. She did not let him out of her sight or her grip. Apparently they dated for awhile, but then Ryan met Farrah Fawcett (who was married to Lee Majors at the time) and THEY hooked up. I’m curious to read Streisand’s book to see what she says about Ryan…

Barbra Streisand Fran Drescher Loose Lips SAG Awards

FRAN DRESCHER CAN’T RESIST A LITTLE GOSSIP

She’s the definition of having NO filter and SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher didn’t disappoint on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. Fran was asked by a reporter from People Magazine if any A-list stars have reached out to her with requests, now that she’s in charge of the powerful actors union. Without missing a beat, chatty Fran blurted out, “Barbra Streisand called  and asked me “Why aren’t I covered on [husband] Jim [Brolin]’s SAG healthcare anymore?”   Fans will remember Fran’s character on The Nanny was OBSESSED with Barbra, and the show even devoted an episode to her. No word yet on how Barbra will react to Fran’s revelation.

Barbra Streisand Bradley Cooper Hairdresser Jon Peters Producer

BRADLEY COOPER’S NEW CHARACTER IS NOT A NICE GUY

Jon Peters must be highly flattered at the prospect of Bradley Cooper playing him in an upcoming movie. Nobody has admitted that Bradley’s character is based on Peters (they probably don’t want to be sued.) Peters launched his career in the 70’s as a hairdresser turned sleazy Hollywood producer with the help of his girlfriend Barbra Streisand, and he was notorious for egotistical bad behavior and accused of sexual harassment multiple times. (He was married to Pamela Anderson for 12 days) Let’s say he gave self-indulgent Hollywood producers a bad name. So He WILL be an interesting character for Bradley to play…

Barbra Streisand Jason Gould

BARBRA STREISAND: ALWAYS A DEVOTED MOM

How cute is this vintage photo that Barbra Streisand posted over the weekend of her and her son Jason Gould when he was a baby? Barbra is a doting mom – we remember back in the eighties when young Jason decided to move out of his mom’s house and get his own apartment in West Hollywood. Barbra worried incessantly about him, and was frequently seen driving past his building on Kings Road and stopping to drop off food or towels, etc – household stuff she thought he might need. We can only imagine what he thought about all those surprise visits! Jason sings too, and toured with his mother a few times – nowadays he’s still writing and recording music plus producing and directing. Certainly his name opens doors!

Barbra Streisand Coach Jennifer Lopez

JENNIFER LOPEZ WORKS OUT IN HER FUNNY GIRL SWEATSHIRT

Coach must be really happy with their brand ambassador Jennifer Lopez, because she not only wears their clothes in ads, but also in real life to the gym. J.Lo wore her $225 Babs sweatshirt – it’s an iconic airbrush portrait of Streisand in Funny Girl that artist Richard Bernstein created for the cover of Interview Magazine in 1969. When Streisand saw a photo of Jennifer wearing the shirt, she sent her thumbs up approval via Instagram. Jennifer is also carrying a bejeweled Superbowl water bottle today.

Barbra Streisand Leaving Neverland Michael Jackson

SUDDENLY IT APPEARS THAT BARBRA STREISAND IS NOT SO SMART, AFTER ALL

We are ABSOLUTELY APPALLED by Barbra Streisand’s remarks about the documentary Finding Neverland- AND her lame apology. She said she absolutely believed the victims James Safechuck and Wade Robson, but she blamed their MOTHERS more than she seemed to blame Michael Jackson for the abuse! She said the kids were THRILLED to spend time with Jackson and “it didn’t kill them.” Worst of all, she dismissed Michael Jackson’s horrible behavior with “his sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he had or whatever DNA he had.” Hello Barbra- abusing children is a CHOICE, and not inherited! She topped it off with that incredibly stupid line about “he was always nice to ME” – right, Bill Cosby was nice to lots of people when he wasn’t drugging and raping young women. When the backlash started, Barbra tried to backtrack her statements, but it was too late…
