Babs Stalked?

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."



Keith 'death' Tale Broke Date

THE office worker who says she had an unsatisfying one-night stand with MSNBC gabber Keith Olbermann is baring more details about their limp hotel romp. After our story about the 30-something Cuban hottie who launched a blog to rip Olbermann for their May tryst, she vented more yesterday. " assured me . . . wouldn't be just a one-night thing," the woman who calls herself KarmaBites wrote. "He made plans to see me the following day and gave me all of his numbers, including his home number. He said he would call me, but instead I received an e-mail saying a relative had died and he would have to leave town . . . The relative story was false." KarmaBites hints she may release torrid e-mails she says Olbermann sent her: "It was an 18-month e-mail friendship and I have over 100 e-mails from him if I ever need to present any kind of 'proof' . . . He chose to dispose of me in a cold and uncaring manner which totally disregarded my feelings as a human being and left me feeling less than worthless." Through a rep, Olbermann said he did have a "close relative" die in May, but would not say who. The rep had no further comment.

.... You will also find a woman whose good sense occasionally abandons her, almost sinking what is otherwise an amazing concert appearance. ....

And then, and then . . . she begins telling how she loves the truth and hates all the awful stories printed about her. Uh-oh. She takes notes from the audience. One is signed "George from Texas." Sigh! Yup, a President George W. Bush impersonator appears onstage to the strains of "Hail to the Chief." (Which, by the way, no matter what you think of any president, should only be played for the president.) What follows is a squirmy cringe-inducing "parody" between Streisand and "Bush." It goes on. And on. Worse still, she uses one of the great moments of her young career, the famous "Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again" duet with Judy Garland as part of the joke. "Bush" takes Judy's part. Gasp-inducingly tasteless and boring. She was heckled, and then gave back as good as she got.

She apologized for losing her temper, and spoke of unity. But it is the very nature of her pointless parody that divides. Ah, but remember I said she is a great artist? She then did what only a great artist can do. She pulled it out of the fire (or the icebox, as it were, the audience slightly chilled by her "satire"). Barbra made those fans scream, stomp and brava all over again for "(Have I Stayed) Too Long at the Fair?," "Somewhere" (which produced near hysteria), "My Shining Hour" and "Smile." The lady redeemed could have remained onstage for another hour, at least.

Is Barbra worth the cost of her concert? Yes. Real talent and iconic stardom still exist. Go find her on the rest of her tour - go before she goes offstage for good. But does she understand that the power of her voice, singing "Somewhere" prefaced by a few simple words, does more to get her message across than anything she says? Not. At. All. Still, and to her credit, Streisand remains true to herself. That's more than you can say for most politicians, Republican or Democrat, who talk from both sides of their mouths. ....

6. if the reviewer didn't like the Bush impersonator ...

.... whom CNN identified as Steve Bridges, the same guy who appears on Leno's show ... she should slam HIM and not Barbra! (I suspect that one reason Streisand was irate with the heckler is out of courtesy to a fellow performer -- Bridges has supported Bush in the past, but I don't think that she would just sit there and let him be insulted too.)

3. apparantly SHE wasn't so hot, or Keith would have come back for more!

Leave my Keith alone, you Psycho-HUSSY.

4. That bitch is so weird no wonder he tried to run...

5. It looks more like media hype than reality or tin foil

Then again Babs sued to stop pictures of the Malibu coast from being published too. http://www.californiacoastline.org/streisand/lawsuit.html

7. I just love the way Page Six has completely ignored....

....the STRONG likelihood that this woman is a creepy stalker psycho, and that maybe, just maybe, Olbermann realized this when he met her in person, and tried to make a graceful exit. He didn't mistreat her. He didn't harm her. He made it abundantly clear he didn't want to be with her. It seems abundantly clear that this woman has major issues handling rejection--hey, rejection is something that happens to all of us at some point--and is reacing like a complete nutball.

Why doncha ask her about that, Page Six? Huh? Huh?

8. have you browsed her blog? I glanced at it last summer. She is

so obsessed with KO that I think she gives off the stalker vibe even from a distance and probably always has. It wouldn't surprise me if this whole encounter exists only in her imagination.
