SPOILERS INCLUDED IN THIS NEWS UPDATE!! BE WARNED.
First Clip from "The Guilt Trip" Released!
It's been a long time coming - but finally, here is a short teaser from
Barbra's new movie "The Guilt Trip" which opens Christmas Day.
Barbra Sits Down With Katie Couric.
Barbra's interview with Katie Couric aired in the USA and Canada yesterday.
Barbra revealed some VERY exciting tidbits... including the fact that she
will duet with son Jason Gould at the Brooklyn concerts next month. Who knew he
could sing? She also revealed Jason will be a duet partner on her next album...
an album of duets. She threw a few more names into the mix, of who she might
like to sing with... Andrea Bocelli... John Legend.. Usher... Keith Urban to
name a few. Babyface Edmonds will produce.
Barbra also revealed that she will perform "By The Way" from 'Lazy
Afternoon' during the tour... along with some of the more "obscure" songs from
her career... and songs that she has never before performed live.
There was a significant portion of the interview dedicated to "Heart
Disease" - something Barbra has really thrown her energy into recently. Dr Noel
Bairey Merz joined Barbra for part of the interview too. Definitely worth
checking out the clips of them both on the Katie website (see link below).
For those of you who missed it, there is a page of video clips from the
interview here:
