Singer/actor Jennifer Lopez turned to her idol Barbara Streisand when she needed help figuring out which film roles she should accept. The ‘Waiting for tonight’ singer insists she would love to emulate Streisand’s stellar career path, and was thrilled when she offered up career advice. She explains: "I love her and I have the utmost respect for her as being strong and having survived in this business. "A few years ago I sent her two scripts because I wanted to work with her. When she called back, I was too starstruck to talk to her, so my manager took the call. And you know what she told him? ‘Jennifer’s too good for these.’ "It helped me rethink my whole career. Since then, I’ve only done projects I’ve loved doing."
Um…Gigli and Monster-In-Law were good choices? Granted Babs’ choices have not been the best either…Meet the Fockers? So it kind of makes sense why J-Lo is choosing the movies she is choosing
Barbra Streisand’s politics didn’t find a wholly agreeable crowd during her Monday concert at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise. As Babs traded political barbs with a George W. Bush imitator, a fan of the songstress who apparently disagreed with her politics pelted her with a beverage. And as her anti-GOP riff ended, another man in the crowd found himself being escorted out of the center as he shouted at Streisand. Streisand shrugged both incidents off, saying some people would do better to buy her records than come to her shows. A similar scenario unfolded during Streisand’s concert earlier this month at Madison Square Garden in New York, during which the singer used the F-word in shouting down a heckler.
THAT Barbra Streisand invited Joan Rivers to her show at Madison Square Garden the other night, and Joan declined with the following note: "Thanks so much for inviting me. The joke is, I was going to invite you to my show at the Cutting Room, but I had no extra seats"
THE heckler at Barbra Streisand’s MSG concert Monday night may have been a right-wing plant who’s taunted her before, her publicist says. "There’s something a little weird about it," said Ken Sunshine, noting there was a similar-sounding shouter at the diva’s Philadelphia show last week. At the Garden, the heckler taunted, "What is this, a fund-raiser?" when she made fun of President Bush. Meanwhile, Audience Extras, a firm that provides members with free tickets to undersold shows, was giving out ducats to Babs’ show tonight. "They did a last-minute release of some scattered seats in the upper levels," said tour publicist Fran Curtis. "But it’s still one of the 10 highest-grossing concerts in the Garden’s history."
