Barbra Streisand has become the highest paid actress in thecountry - to the tune of $60 million.
Sony announced Thursday it had signed Streisand to produce,direct or star in six films over 10 years and do eight albums,sources said.
The 50-year-old now is in the same league with such younger popicons as Madonna and Michael Jackson, all of whom have $60 millioncontracts with their organizations.
Meanwhile, Streisand's pals are urging a compromise on her callto boycott Colorado. Proceeds from a Streisand concert, like thoseheld there this week by Manhattan Transfer, would go toward a legalchallenge to the state's anti-gay rights law. The plan would allowStreisand to save face and let her friends continue to vacationthere.
Country star Merle Haggard had good news and bad news thisweek. The same day his wife, Theresa, gave birth to the singer'ssixth child - Haggard filed for bankruptcy.
