James Brolin Wishes Everyone A ‘Happy 9/11′

Barbra Streisand’s husband, James Brolin, went on a radio show in New Haven Tuesday to promote his movie, “The Hunting Party”. When hosts Chaz and AJ noted that it was the sixth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, James said, “Right, oh, yeah, Happy 9/11!”

Chaz, now horrified, responded, “Well, that’s kind of a weird thing to say.” But James didn’t stop, saying, “Ha, ha, ha! I hear silence.” Still pissed, Chaz explained, “Yeah, well, we’re right outside of New York, and I know people who lost family members, so . . . we don’t say, ‘Happy 9/11′ around here.”

But James wouldn’t give it up. “Celebrate the day, right?” He then tried to cover up his stupidity by calling it a “horrible situation”, but Chaz cut him off, noting “I think you’d be better off talking about this movie.”

The phone lines were tied up for days with callers ripping James’ insensitivity, but James’ manager insists he wasn’t making fun. He “was horrified by it. It was an off-the-cuff remark.”

Wow. What a dipshit. Here’s the audio.

Barbra Streisand Has a Foul Mouth!

Barbra Streisand played Madison Square Garden in NYC last night and cursed at her own audience! (Keep in mind, some of these concert goers paid up to $2,000 a ticket for her 2nd farewell tour).

Barbara has a point in her show where she brings up a George Bush impersonator and they proceed to make fun. Well, it appears the NYC audiences didn’t find it amusing and started booing her.

When the audience started to boo, Barbara politely asked them to take a joke. One person wouldn’t stop; so Barbara then told him to kindly “Shut the f#ck up!” How lovely!

Mike Wallace Confesses Sins

Mike Wallace, the iconic star of CBS’s “60 Minutes,” reveals all manner of secrets in a farewell performance with his co-stars that airs Sunday night. Matt Drudge has a preview:

Mike Wallace was too rough? He’s sorry? An actress flirted with him off and on camera? His depression was worse than he’s ever admitted? The grand inquisitor himself fesses up when his own colleagues ask him the questions in a special edition of 60 MINUTES dedicated entirely to the program’s legendary correspondent. These personal revelations and many of Wallace’s most controversial and engaging interviews can be seen and heard when Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, Steve Kroft and Lesley Stahl interview Wallace in “I’m Mike Wallace: A 60 MINUTES Tribute.” The special edition of 60 MINUTES will be broadcast Sunday, May 21 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Among the more surprising admissions is this one: some prodding from fellow Correspondent Lesley Stahl and 15 years of a guilty conscience finally make Wallace admit he was rough on Barbra Streisand. “That was mean. It was mean,” a stern Stahl charges. “Yes it was [rough]. But [Streisand] needed to have control,” says Wallace. But in the end, a repentant Wallace makes a sincere on-camera apology to Streisand.

Wallace doesn’t apologize to Shirley MacLaine, with whom he was just as rough about her belief in reincarnation and in life on other planets. “I adore her, and she was interested in me, too,” Wallace says of MacLaine. The actress openly flirts with Wallace in her response to his question about aliens “visiting you on your porch.” “You don’t have to be that unpleasant. It doesn’t become you,” the actress practically purrs. Wallace tells Stahl that MacLaine had a thing for him back then and that he and his wife, Mary Yates, before they married more than 20 years ago, “triple dated” with her. “You mean a threesome,” says Stahl. “Yes, but only at dinner,” says an amused Wallace.

Not so surprising — because he has openly and readily discussed his depression for years, but shocking for its candidness — is Wallace’s story of attempted suicide. Safer asks the question that he says he and others had suspected all along. “Did you try to commit suicide at one point?” asks Safer. Wallace answers yes and says, “I don’t know why the hell you asked me that question, because other people have…it’s the first time I have answered it honestly.” After the story of the attempt to take his own life, Wallace says that the years since that time 20 years ago “have been the best in my life.”

Other Mike Wallace moments include: his testy exchanges with world leaders like Vladimir Putin of Russia, Zhang Zemin of China and Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini; and his extraordinary interviews with news figures like Paul Meadlo, who recounts shooting women and babies at the My Lai massacre, mobster Jimmy Fratianno, who calmly recalls murdering a man in his living room, and John Ehrlichman of Watergate infamy.

Wallace, 88, announced in March that he would retire from regularly scheduled appearances on 60 MINUTES. He becomes a CBS News correspondent emeritus at season’s end, appearing occasionally on CBS News programs.

Wallace’s career was long and storied. It’s not surprising that he has a few regrets.

The image of a 68-year-old Wallace having a threesome with Shirley MacClaine, however, I could have done without.
