Bette Midler

AND JUST LIKE THAT: BETTE MIDLER IS SET TO MAKE TROUBLE

Persistence pays off, just ask Sarah Jessica Parker. Since her days on Sex and the City, Sarah has wanted her Hocus Pocus costar and fellow New Yorker, Bette Midler, to appear on her series, but it never happened. They had so much fun filming their hit sequel Hocus Pocus 2, that Bette agreed to appear on the SATC spin-off, And Just Like That. The details are still being worked out, but the current plan is for Bette to play herself and plug her pet project, the New York Restoration Fund, the project Bette started over 25 years ago to save NYC’s parks and green space. The working script has Sarah’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, volunteer at the charity and clash with Bette.

Artist Bette Midler Husband Real Estate

BETTE MIDLER’S LIPS ARE NOT SEALED

Bette Midler and her husband Martin von Haselberg are separating, but only for the sake of his art. According to an insider, their marriage is rock solid, but Martin (who is a performance artist) demands complete silence when he’s working on his art and -let’s face it – chatterbox Bette is anything but quiet. With Bette’s approval, Martin has been looking for a pied a terre in West Hollywood, California, (not far from their LA home) so he can escape his noisy domicile and work on his art, and occasionally sleep there.

Apology Bette Midler I Am Cait

BETTE MIDLER: TIME TO STOP THE INSANITY!

We just can’t let this incident with Better Midler pass. She happens to be funny and smart and enjoys tweeting her observations of humanity. Recently she mused “Now that ‘I Am Cait’ has been cancelled, will she go back to being Bruce?” She was bombarded by hate mail from supposedly OFFENDED readers (mostly millennials, we suspect.) What’s WRONG with you people? Are you just SCOURING the internet for reasons to be outraged? There is no bigger supporter of gay and LGBT rights than Better Midler. She was simply making fun of the LENGTHS people go to so they can appear on reality shows. She was forced to APOLOGIZE, but ended it with “I seem to have misread the temper of the times.” And we agree – we are sick and tired of all those humorless and hostile jerks who like to “take offense” for every little thing. Get a life!

Barbra Streisand Bette Midler

BETTE MIDLER: A KNIFE IN THE BACK FROM BARBRA STREISAND?

Bette Midler is in for a SHOCK! She’s been enjoying incredible record breaking success with her one woman show “I’ll Eat You Last” on Broadway and in Los Angeles. The show deals with powerful Hollywood agent Sue Mengers who was an unforgettable character and best friends with her client Barbra Streisand. (We remember selling them clothes – Barbra was several sizes smaller than Sue and liked to rub it in). Anyway, Bette hopes to turn this iconic role into a movie for herself but it won’t be easy. We hear that sneaky Barbra Streisand has been in secret talks to buy the rights for HERSELF. She figures Sue Mengers was HER friend, after all! Watch out, Bette!

Barbra Streisand Bette Midler Boxoffice Parental Guidance The Guilt Trip

SORRY BARBRA, BETTE MIDLER’S GOT THE LAST LAUGH!

#barbrastreisand #bettemidler #janetcharlton

Barbra Streisand can’t be thrilled that her holiday release movie “The Guilt Trip” (with Seth Rogan) has been pretty much a flop while Bette Midler’s movie, “Parental Guidance,” with Billy Crystal is a hit. “The Guilt Trip” cost 40 million to make and has only taken in around 31 million. “Parental Guidance” was made for 25 million and is expected to take in 70 million plus. Both movies obviously appeal to the older generation, but Seth Rogan halfheartedly promoted “The Guilt Trip” to HIS generation. Billy Crystal tirelessly promoted “Guidance” to an older generation and it even landed on an AARP cover. Bingo. We figure that icons Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler are more than a teensy bit competitive and Bette couldn’t be happier.
