Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:42:52 GMT

Barbra Streisand has a lot to dish about in the more than 900 pages of her new memoir, “My Name is Barbra,” including all the good and bad men she dealt with as she navigated treacherous, sexist workplaces in Hollywood.The EGOT winner’s famous male friends and lovers include Marlon Brando, a friend who wanted to sleep with her, and Jon Peters, the one-time hairdresser who became her boyfriend and enjoyed a short reign as one Hollywood’s most powerful and toxic producers.To Streisand’s fans, sexism is the reason she became notorious for being “demanding” when she simply had a drive for control and perfection. The 81-year-old star also said she had to combat chauvinism while trying to do her best work, the New York Times said in a story about Streisand’s memoir. For example, Sydney Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin’s son who was her co-star in the Broadway version of “Funny Girl,” took revenge when she rejected his advances by v...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:42:52 GMT

Joe Burrow and C.J. Stroud have some common ground beyond being NFL quarterbacks at the center of Sunday’s matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans.Call it the “Buckeye Bond.”An Ohio native, Burrow spent three years at Ohio State and earned a degree but didn’t play much football. He transferred to LSU when the Buckeyes opted to go with Dwayne Haskins as the starting QB in 2018. In Baton Rouge, Burrow won a national championship and Heisman Trophy and was the top pick in the 2020 draft by the Bengals.“I always said I went to school at Ohio State, and I played football at LSU,” Burrow said this week. “That’s how I think about it.”Stroud, from California, was a two-year starter at Ohio State where he broke school records and was a Heisman finalist at the end of the 2021 and ’22 seasons. He was the second overall pick by the Texans in the 2023 draft.Both were nurtured in Columbus by Ryan Day, considered one of the best quarterback coaches in college fo...
