Barbra Streisand is going to have a big fall season. It looks like
her much rumored boxed set, called 'Release Me', is on the Sony schedule
for September 25th. This is supposed to be a collection of hits and
rarities designed to mark Barbra’s 50th anniversary with Columbia
Records. She was signed in March 1962, and signed a new contract this
past spring. I think she may have broken Johnny Mathis’s record with the
record label. Barbra’s also had the same manager, the great Marty
Ehrlichman, the whole time.
'Release Me' will precede by a couple of weeks Streisand’s
performance at the new Barclay Center in Brooklyn. People are already
paying scalpers to get into that room. It should be quite a night. Then,
come Christmas Day, Streisand returns to the big screen in a comedy
with Seth Rogen called 'The Guilt Trip'. And she’s preparing to direct
her first new film in 15 years– as I reported exclusively this
spring–called 'Skinny and Cat', starring Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett.
