Barbra Streisand To Publish First Memoir...
Barbra Streisand is writing her first memoir.
The 73-year-old singer and actress will publish the work via Viking Books in 2017. The first-hand account will cover the entirety of Streisand's life and illustrious career in music, film and theater.
"Barbara Streisand's memoir is the entertainment story that has been on the top of every publisher's wist list for years," Viking president Brian Tart said. "There are over fifty unauthorized biographies about Ms. Streisand that are full of myths and inaccuracies, and she is finally going to tell her own story."
Streisand was born in New York in 1942, and came to fame as a nightclub singer and Broadway actress. She is one of the few performers to have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, and last released duets album Partners in September 2014.
Divorcing, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith List LA Estate For $16M...
As Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith head toward an official divorce, the once-couple's swanky seven-bedroom estate in Hancock Park has gone up for sale at a listed $16.1 million.
"Real Estalker," Mark David reports via Variety that the couple bought the 1925 mansion in 1999 for just over $4 million, and extended the estate by acquiring the property next door, thus inflating its value. The Italian Revival's interior is expertly decorated and reportedly still maintains much of its original architecture.
The glamorous estate holds seven full and three half bathrooms, a private outdoor pool, carved stone terraces and a classic library among other notable features.
After almost 20 years of marriage, Griffith filed for divorce from the Zorro actor, citing irreconcilable differences. The two have one child together, an 18-year-old daughter named Stella who is due to attend college next year.
Banderas was spotted with new girlfriend Nicole Kempel Tuesday at this year's Cannes Film Festival, both dressed to the nines on the red carpet prior to seeing Sicario. The couple made their relationship public in April by posing for Hola magazine.
The actor told the publication that Kempel was not the reason for his and Griffith's divorce, but that the couple first met at last year's Cannes festival -- while he was still married. He said a relationship sparked between he and the young, Dutch financial adviser as soon as divorce papers were filed.

"You know what kids are like! They want new soccer boots. They want new sneakers. It came to the point where he turned 14, and I thought, 'If you want something then go and work, and then you've got your own money." - David Beckham, dishing on son Brooklyn's new job at a local French cafe

SNL Alum plays Colonel Sanders in Kentucky Fried Chicken ads...
Saturday Night Live staple Darrell Hammond can now be seen playing Kentucky Fried Chicken's Colonel Sanders in commercials for the fast-food chain.
The videos show Hammond wearing a white suit and sporting the iconic character's signature snowy hair, mustache and beard.
"Colonel Sanders is back, America! He's back to make sure his Kentucky Fried Chicken is still as delicious as it ever was. And he made this commercial about it," says a message introducing Hammond's "The State of Kentucky Fried Chicken Address" spot.
"Because, boy howdy, have things changed since the Colonel's been gone! Nowadays, you've got your self-parking electronic automobiles. Your casual Fridays. Your computer phones and invisible cosmetic braces for adults. Your yoga pants, nanny cams, books on tape, mail-order remote-control submarines, unscented roll-on antiperspirants, leather ottomans with hideaway storage, texting, foam rollers, adjustable waistbands, night-vision goggles, scratch-resistant countertops, action-packed thrillers about the deadly nature of virtual reality, travel-size toothpastes and all kinds of lumbar support. But the one thing that hasn't changed is the Colonel's Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's still finger lickin' good!"
The clip has been viewed on YouTube nearly 1.1 million times since it was released Tuesday. Hammond's commercials will start airing on television Monday.
"In my line of work, I've been able to do impressions of a lot of interesting people. But Colonel Sanders? He was a really fascinating guy. His lifelong entrepreneurial spirit and integrity are two things that drew me to him. He never gave up. It's an honor to bring to life such an iconic figure... and it doesn't hurt that KFC is paying me in chicken -- which, at the time, sounded like a good idea because I was very hungry that day," Hammond said in a statement.
The 59-year-old comedian was an SNL cast member from 1995 to 2009, where he enjoyed fame for his spot-on Bill Clinton impression. He returned to the sketch comedy series last year to replace the show's late announcer Don Pardo, and recently revived his depiction of Clinton on-air to coincide with Bill's wife Hillary's presidential campaign.
The Colonel is back to make sure his Kentucky Fried Chicken is still delicious. So he made this commercial about it.

The actor who outbid Paris Hilton for a Chanel purse for charity?
It's Leonardo DiCaprio... Leonardo DiCaprio outbid Paris Hilton for a Chanel purse Monday.
The 40-year-old actor emerged with a blue Neoprene flap bag worth over $11,000 after winning the item at The Heart Fund's annual Generous People Gala auction in Cannes.
DiCaprio outbid the 34-year-old socialite, rapper and actor Mos Def, and Sony Pictures Classics co-founder Tom Bernard for the purse. He reportedly bought the bag for his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken.
"Paris was great," an onlooker told People magazine. "She bid on many things, and Leo did too. Both her and Leo were so active during the entire auction. It was really nice to see ... [DiCaprio] was laughing and enjoying himself with friends."
