ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THIS FAREWELL FARCE (Yentyl's final farewell...again)
NY Post ^ | June 1, 2006 | Cindy Adams
STREISAND. Gearing up, as we all know, for yet another another another another of her final and for ever friggin' farewell tours. Or comeback again tours. Or return from the unemployed tours. Or make another few bucks tours. Or this-is-for-sure-my-last-shot-and-after-this-you-won't-ever-have-Yentl-to-kick-around-again-because-then-I'm-off-into-the-sunset-yet-once-more tours. Oy, how many times can people hear her yodel "People."
Go back a few years. Remember her first heralded farewell schlep around the country where in N.Y.C. she worked the Garden and pocketed millions and guaranteed this was It and she was finished . . . over . . . done . . . history? Then, remember, a few minutes later, yet another positively, absolutely, definitely, final forever and ever bye-bye/ta-ta/so-long/adieu/auf Wiedersehen swan song? Being resurrected more often than Al Gore earns her fortunes. This gambit is the musical concert equivalent of a stock market pump 'n' dump.
The woman's itching and twitching. Misses the action. Just opining on her Web log isn't enough. And you've already heard that she and the husband are possibly not as wildly ecstatic as might've been in ye auld courtship era. She's had fat injections in the face. She's had a face-lift. Now she's had enough with mulching rosebushes, getting manicures, monitoring the husband and doing ashrams. She wants back in the spotlight.
But here's what you don't know: She'll do 20 nights, 10 cities. They're talking about tickets being - ready? - $750 per seat. That's more than most humans would pay to see The Man From Galilee if he came back. She's expecting to pocket - are you ready, gullible America who thinks this is the last time they'll get to see her? Ready??? She figures she might walk away with $80 million. Lordy, not even James Brolin will have seen this much of her by the time she finally... |
