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."

When my friend told me this rumor last night, I thought interesting theory but no truth to it. But since Page Six picked it up, I guess it is true.
