Whoa! First rule to living a full life: DO NOT PISS OFF BARBRA! NEVER!

It seems that there was a certain eclectic array of folks in the audience of a private event in El Lay over the weekend. We know it had to be a pretty swanky soiree in order for Barbra Streisand to agree to perform, but some the guests just weren't up to speed on being in the presence of the legendary singer.

Namely, Jill Zarin, formerly of the Real Housewives of New York.

Now, in this technological age, you can find almost ANYTHING on Youtube - but you won't find Bab's performance from that party, we'll tell you that. She doesn't want it up and her lawyers are making sure it stays that way. So when Jill casually posted the video on her personal YouTube page, she got an earful about it from Bab's lawyers faster than you can say, "like butter!"

Jill obliged and after, took to her Twitter to explain to her fans what just happened, saying:

Lea stopped by Leno and she dons a dress to die for!

While Lea Michele stopped by The Tonight Show, many audience members (and Jay Leno) were focused on what she was wearing.

Leno called the dress "one of the greatest dresses of all time."

Afterwards, Lea chit-chatted about her weird New Year's traditions as well as meeting her idol, Babs.

Check out the video above to hear her wacky traditions!

And she's looking as faboosh as ever, might we add!

Last night, Barbra Streisand was honored alongside Robert Barth by the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Gala at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, and she and husband James Brolin hit the red carpet for the occasion!

Ch-ch-check them out (above and below)!

Lovely lovely!

Congrats on your big night, gurl!

The woman is almost 70, yet she still looks INcredible!

What's Barbra Streisand's secret?

Not exercising, pancakes, and cheap face cream! What!! We want on THAT diet!!

Sure, she's dabbled in exercising before -- yoga here, pilates there, but she almost always quits quickly or just stands around and talks to people during the classes. She got some exercise equipment once, but threw it out "in favor of aesthetics."

She's tried fad diets -- low carb, high protein. Jenny Craig. But her attempts were always thwarted by pancakes. Mmm, pancakes!

Also, she forgoes make up when she can, in favor of creams that have sunscreen to block harmful rays. In fact, he favorite face cream for the night time only costs 7 pounds!

A lot of people swear by all of those diets and all that exercise stuff, but we say just continue to do what works for you!! Obviously it hasn't been detrimental, you look so good!!

This is what Twitter was created for.

Yesterday, Lea Michele lived out a dream so few of us get the chance to do - she got to have a "conversation" with her idol, Barbra Streisand!

Earlier in the week, during one of the few breaks the poor girl gets from working sooooo hard, Princess Lea tweeted that she was watching an episode of Hoarders and the guy had an original Barbra Streisand doll. She mentioned how much she would like one for herself and that set a string of tweets in motion that could only be considered magical.

It's quite rare to get a direct message from Miz Streisand, so it was a thrill for ALL when she sent a tweet personally to Lea, saying:

"Forget the guy. I'm sending you the doll. But I want a Lea Michele doll when it comes out!"

Okay, no joke, we're crying sitting here just thinking about how overjoyed Lea must've felt getting that message. Our hearts are overflowing with emotion!

Of course, Lea responded back with such jubilation, you could practically get a contact high just from reading her tweets! Then, her fellow Gleeks joined in on her excitement, thanking Babs on behalf of their friend, whose life was made by less that 140 characters.

It's moments like these you take with you forever! Hope Lea is savoring this just as much as we are for her!

Check out the Twitter exchange after the jump!

Holy shiz! This ACTUALLY happened?!

A long-rumored practical joke played on Harrison Ford during the filming of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which involves Barbra Streisand dressed as a leather-daddy and Carrie Fisher reprising her role as Princess Leia and was said to be part of Steven Spielberg's private blooper reel, has surfaced on-line - and although it's incredibly grainy and hard to hear…this is a MUST-WATCH!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

ZOMG! LOLz LOLz LOLz!

In case you can't really see, that's Babs torturing Harrison for Hanover Street and "for all the money you're going to make on Return of the Jedi," when Carrie Fisher appears and quotes her famous line from the flick: "Someone who needs you!"

At the end, Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner steps in and says, "I don't believe one word you're saying. Now come on, do it again."

Unfortunately, the joke ends with Barbara using a not-too-nice gay slur, and we just hope that this wasn't meant to be offensive and merely something considered much more appropriate at that time then it would be now.

But still, we think many will be raising some eyebrows! Eek!

Well, this is different..but awesome!!!

In an effort to promote her new album What Matters Most (above), Barbra Streisand has teamed up with Starbucks for an exclusive performance!

Babs fans out there who want to watch the performance can bring their laptop or mobile device to any Starbucks between Aug 23-30, where they'll be able to watch Barbra on Starbucks' Digital Network.

She'll be

It's just one devastating blow after another with this girl! She's breaking our hearts left and right! If we didn't love you so damn much Lea Michele, we swear….

Okay, okay. Let's focus here. Thing is, we were utterly elated to learn earlier this year that a revival of Funny Girl was to be back on Broadway by 2012. The musical that made Barbra Streisand a star legend has always been a personal favorite of ours and it has been thrilling to see a new generation of kids learn to love it as well through Glee and Lea's powerhouse performances of some of the show's iconic songs. Naturally, since she basically put the show back on everyone's radar, we assumed she was the ONLY choice to breathe new life into Fanny Brice on the stage.

But alas, it's not happening. As we understand it, Lea will
