Madge -- Burned by Her Own Bro?
One person who knows where Madonna's bodies are buried –- her brother Christopher –- is apparently going to reveal 'em all in an upcoming book.
Christopher, with whom Her Madgesty fell out with years ago, is writing a saucy tell-all that comes out next month. And sources tell the New York Post that it's going to ride rough on Madonna. "It's extremely graphic and devastating," says a source. "He wrote it on the sly without telling Madonna."
Or, as a pal of Madonna put it, "Oh, my."
Babs Ditches Hill, Backs Barack
Barbra Streisand –- lifetime F.O.C. (Friend of Clintons?). Not so fast.
It looks like Babs is jumping on the Obama-wagon now that her pal Hillary got beat: The L.A. Times reports that Streisand has "offered to help" in B.O.'s run for the White House. This is the same Barbra Streisand who's been such a strident supporter of the Bill-and-Hill show for years.
Nothing's solid yet, but Obama's H-wood backers hope she'll at least sing at some campaign events.
