Wow, did Streisand ever get to sing with a great voice like Nathan Gunn? Big booming baritone. Very nice. I always saw Streisand paired against inferior voices/more actor than singer types.

The Youtubes were a bit out of focus, I thought she looked like she'd had a bit of work done on her face but I couldn't see well enough to decide what it might have been. I saw photographs of her in the past year or two where she was way overweight and almost slovenly-looking, so I was surprised to see her looking so refreshed.

As per the video notes: Broadway Diva and brilliant songstress (and Taye Diggs wife) Idina Menzel sings, "Don't Rain On My Parade" I enjoyed Streisand's wincing face during the Don't Rain On My Parade song. I wonder what it's like to someone like Streisand, to have to sit and listen to all these songs all over again. Blegh.

I noticed that Barbara was nodding her head during the songs. I think she was analyzing and appreciating them. It was a good Kennedy Center Honors last night.

Last night on CNN, Kathy Griffin, who was cohosting with Anderson Cooper, said some things that should have people talking. She was hysterical--I know...lots of people do not share this opinion of her--and she made Anderson sound like a tickle me Elmo doll cuz he was laughing so hard. Anyhow, at one point she said that she wanted Dr Sanjay Gupta to give her a pap test. And then, when a heckler was yelling at her off camera, the following happened: link. Prolly not for the easily offended. Oh and it was edited out of the West Coast feed.

Tish . . . that was one of the funniest things I've heard it QUITE some time. LOL - Anderson had to be running for cover. I've never seen him so amused. (For a minute there, I thought she was talking about knocking the d's out of Anderson's mouth. Heh.)

That's the best laugh I've had in ages! They were hilarious last night. I got to watch it after we got home. They are great together. You just know Anderson is laughing harder than he usually does.

She lays me out laughing so hard. I like the one where she was at a fundraiser with Dr Phil and Jane Fonda and tells about Dr Phil hitting on Jane. Does anyone have the you tube on that ?

Anderson absolutely giggles with Kathy. He also does that when he's co-hosting with Kelly Ripa. It's the cutest thing. Watching the Kennedy Honors the other night, I thought that the tribute to George Jones was much better than the Streisand one. Of course, there would be no one even remotely in the same caliber to sing her songs but I thought the singers did okay.

Anderson has the cutest giggle. I've never seen him giggle so much! I loved in the promo when she made fun of him taking his wallet out because he's so rich.

I also loved them together. She made him lose his composure a few times and it was so cute. Hope they host more stuff together. A great combination. And with the heckler comment I was zoning out a bit, then all of a sudden woke up and said "Did she just say that? Can you say that on TV?"

John Travolta's son Jett Travolta died in the Bahamas, reports TMZ: Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas tells TMZ the son of John Travolta died today. We're told 16-year-old Jett was vacationing with Travolta and wife Kelly Preston. We do not know the circumstances of his death. There have been reports that Jett was autistic, though Travolta has denied it, saying he suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease.
