...biggest peeve of all is the nosy, mean-spirited press. Usually Streisand tries to avoid reporters. But in a rare interview with TIME last week, she had all the recent slights at her fingertips: a British tabloid that claimed she arrived in London toting her own trash can (it was actually a hatbox); a New York Times op-ed piece criticized the dress she wore at the Inaugural gala; a story in TIME listed some of her alleged tantrums.

You can recognize members of the phylum Euro-trashicus by their refusal to recognize...
Early this week, Dartboard's diligent TV writer was flipping channels (and only flipping, mind you, not, heaven forbid, watching ) he caught a most curious dialogue on Oprah. A man grimly recounted the details of his alien abduction. It was tame fare for the voluminous queen of daytime trash, nothing all out of the ordinary...
