Barbra Streisand still isn't sure if she had sex with Warren Beatty: 'I know I slept in the bed with him'
She does, however, know that she at least shared a bed with him.
And whether or not you believe her, no one is going to rain on her parade.Ooh, life is juicy…
So juicy for Barbra Streisand that the chanteuse still cannot recall whether or not she slept with one of Hollywood's most infamous lotharios, Warren Beatty.
Streisand first mentioned the gap in her memory in her 2023 memoir, My Name Is Barbra, but when asked about it again in a recent New Yorker interview, she doubled down.
"I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration," Streisand said. "I swear to God, I can't. There are certain things I block out."
When New Yorker editor David Remnick attempted to call B.S. on Streisand, she insisted that she truly couldn't remember.
"But I know we're still friends," she asserted. "Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth. So we're still friends. I met him when I was fifteen years old, and he was twenty-one, I think."
In her memoir, Streisand first dropped the bombshell that any intimate time spent with Beatty was not memorable enough to stick with her. "Warren and I go back a long way (back to summer stock) and there's some water under that bridge," she wrote. "Recently, we were on the phone talking politics and who knows what else when he said, 'I remember why we broke up.' I said, 'When were we together?' Then I hung up and asked myself, Did I sleep with Warren? I kind of remember. I guess I did. Probably once."
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Beatty for comment.
Beatty has been married to Annette Bening since 1992, while Streisand tied the knot with her current husband, James Brolin, back in 1998.
However, Streisand and Beatty's coupling — or lack thereof — has apparently been a point of contention between them for some time. In Kathy Griffin's own 2016 memoir, the comedian commented on a conversation she allegedly overheard between the two friends at a party.
"Warren, I'm not going to have this fight with you again. We nev-ah hooked up," Griffin recalled Streisand saying. "Noooo, Barbra, I think we did," Beatty purportedly said. "We were coming back from that little club in the Catskills."
Though if Beatty's memory is correct, Streisand apparently didn't have the time of her life.

Every A-List Cameo In Lena Dunham's Too Much, Explained
Lena Dunham's TV genius is finally back on our screens with her new Netflix rom-com Too Much. The feel-good comedy-drama stars Hacks' Megan Stalter as kooky New Yorker Jessica, who moves across the pond to London after a breakup before falling for aspiring musician Felix, played by The White Lotus' Will Sharpe. We've already looked at the impressive cast and their various past projects, including many familiar faces like Rita Wilson, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Girls star Andrew Rannells. But there's also a host of cameos and smaller guest roles throughout the 10 episodes. Here's your guide to all of them… Emily Ratajkowski The US model and actor plays Megan's ex's cool and stylish new fiancéeWendy Jones. Emily has been friends with Lena for a long time, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that the Girls creator found a perfect casting in her. 'We've always had a lot of conversations around women that you feel like you're connected to in strange ways, but you don't totally know them,' Emily told Variety of her role recently. She also explained that Lena had initially envisioned her character as a lawyer, before Emily suggested that she be an influencer instead. Andrew Scott If there's one actor who's guaranteed to make a splash no matter how big or small the role, it's Andrew Scott. The Sherlock star plays a divorced ad director called James Wenlich-Rice, who's hired to shoot the advert Jessica is overseeing. Unsurprisingly, he ends up having some of the best (and most cringeworthy) lines in the whole series. Andrew previously starred in Lena's 2022 movie Catherine Called Birdy, and it turns out he had a pretty big part in getting Megan cast in the first place. In an interview with Glamour, Lena revealed that the Fleabag star first introduced her to Megan's viral comedy videos and insisted they meet. '[He] basically said, 'You two have to meet, you have something to make together',' she recalled. Kit Harington Since his starring role as Jon Snow in Game Of Thrones, we've been able to watch Kit Harington demonstrate his range in projects like Eternals, The Beast Within and Industry. Now he appears in Too Much's flashback scenes as Jessica's late father, who died of Parkinson's disease when she was young. Richard E. Grant The legendary British actor isn't quite a fleeting cameo, since he plays a key role as Jessica's UK-based boss, Jonno Ratigan. In one scene he makes his employee reel off a list of problems he has with Jessica, including her pungent lunches and smelly feet. Unsurprisingly, he manages to strike a hilarious balance between personable and passive aggressive – he even gets into a physical altercation with Felix in one scene. Naomi Watts TheMulholland Drive actor appears in the series as Ann Ratigan, the posh wife of Jonno who forms an instant bond with Jessica (over a few lines of cocaine, no less). Envisioning the A-lister in a comedy role was exciting to Lena, who told The Hollywood Reporter that she wanted to write her something that was 'not an elegant lady role, that's like an elegant lady to the left role, like an elegant lady who's railing cocaine role'. Jessica Alba The Fantastic Four actor stars as herself in the first episode of Too Much, playing a client of Jessica's agency on a commercial shoot. When a misogynistic director tries to 'punch up' the script, Jessica Alba asks Too Much's Jessica (Megan Stalter) to step in and collaborate with her, before she becomes overwhelmed and runs off in a panic. Adwoa Aboah The British actor and model appears in a few scenes as Felix's recent ex Linnea. While she's proven her acting talents playing Becks in Top Boy, Lena explained that hiring models for the series was very intentional. 'And I think modelling is such an expressive art and models are very often really good actors because they have to do that,' she told Radio Times. 'What I love about Emily [Ratajkowski] and Adwoa [Aboah] is that, in addition to being models, they're so outspoken in their activism, in their writing, in their creative expression,' she added. Stephen Fry The British actor and presenter plays Felix's dad Simon in the series, who finds himself in financial hardship. He appears in episode seven – which sheds some light on Felix's upbringing – and the finale titled The Idea Of Glue. This also isn't his first collaboration with Lena, having played the writer-director's father in the 2024 tragicomedy Treasure. Rhea Perlman The Cheers and Matilda actor features as Jessica's cheeky grandmother Dottie, who does her best to offer advice on her chaotic love life. 'Lena has a way of creating and directing that makes people feel free,' the actor said in an interview with The New York Times. 'Maybe some people would be turned off by that much sex and that much talk of sex,' she continued. 'But she made it so funny and so real.' Carlos O'Connell Fans of Dublin post-punk heroes Fontaines D.C. will have instantly recognised Carlos O'Connell's pink hair in Too Much, with the guitarist appearing as Felix's bandmate Eoin. Their fictional band The Feelers actually features original music from Attawalpa, the band of Too Much co-creator and Lena's husband Luis Felber. This marks the musician's latest foray into acting, having made a cameo in Andrea Arnold's 2024 movie Bird. Don Letts Another real-life musician appears in the series in the shape of legendary British DJ Don Letts. The Big Audio Dynamite co-founder features as a club emcee called Jonah The Ox. There's also a few more details sprinkled throughout the show for real music buffs, like when Jessica's ex Zev (played by Michael Zegen) is featured wearing an Idles T-shirt in one scene. Rita Ora The Anywhere singer appears late in the series as herself to play Santa Claus in a Christmas advertising campaign, and also hypes Jessica up after her social media scandal. The pop star posted on social media that she had 'so much fun filming' in the show, which she shared alongside a picture of her with Lena. Jennifer Saunders The Absolutely Fabulous star is in episode nine's clubbing scene, appearing briefly as an older woman called Fiona who sleeps with Felix in a moment of self sabotage. Felix remarked in an interview with Netflix's Tudum how 'every week, there'd be somebody new that is a hero of yours' appearing in the show. Lena said that even she was starstruck, adding: 'I was like, 'I cannot fucking believe this is happening'.' Alix Earle If you've ever watched a 'Get Ready With Me' video on TikTok, there's a good chance one of them was by internet personality and model Alix Earle. She appears as herself in episode nine, posting a video in support of Jessica's viral videos. Jake Shane The US comedian and influencer known as Octopusslover8 also appears as himself in episode nine to show his support to Jessica. It's also a bit of a reunion with Jessica, having previously featured in three episodes of Hacks season four in the role of Social Media Girlie. Related...

'It's scary at moments': Creators say 'Wednesday' season 2 will bring real stakes and fear
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you thought 'Wednesday' was creepy and kooky before, season 2 is about to crank the horror up several notches. According to the show's creators, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the new season won't just flirt with spooky but dive headfirst into intense territory. When speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Millar said: 'There's some moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy. We have that in season 1, but I think this season there are moments that are very intense, I'll say.' He added: 'Season 2 definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we're very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. 'We want to make sure that it's never torture porn, but that there's enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it's scary at moments. And I think that's the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror.' After getting an early glimpse of 'Wednesday' season 2 through the official trailer (which included the first six minutes of the premiere) fans were recently treated to even more footage thanks to a brand-new trailer from the streaming service. In a chilling moment, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) has a premonition that her friend Enid (Emma Myers) is going to die, and that she'll be the one responsible. The creators also teased a shift toward a more 'complex mystery' in season 2, and it looks like Wednesday's unsettling premonition might be at the heart of it. Gough said: 'I also just feel like the world is bigger and you get to really explore other characters.' I'm genuinely glad this season is taking a darker turn as it just feels right for Wednesday. The blend of gothic horror and biting humor is what makes the Addams universe so iconic, and leaning further into the intense, eerie side of things only makes the world feel richer and more true to its roots. Ortega even said herself (h/t Vanity Fair): 'I think the feel that we're going for is a little bit more horror-inspired. Not to say that suddenly we're the goriest show of all time. I mean, there's six-year-olds watching. [For example], we're doing this thing now where Wednesday just kind of appears. She is a little bit of a jump scare herself.' "Wednesday" season 2 will be released on Netflix in two parts: Part 1 on August 6, and part 2 on September 3.

Alan Bergman, Oscar-Winning Lyricist, Dies at 99
Alan Bergman, the three-time Oscar-winning lyricist who teamed with his late wife, Marilyn Bergman, to form one of the most celebrated writing duos in the history of movie music, has died. He was 99. Bergman, whose work includes such classics as 'The Windmills of Your Mind' — wonderfully employed for the second-season finale of Severance — 'Nice 'n' Easy,' 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers' and 'The Way We Were,' died Thursday night of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, his daughter, producer Julie Bergman Sender, told The Hollywood Reporter. More from The Hollywood Reporter With His New Album, Alex Warren Isn't Broken Anymore Kate Beckinsale Announces Death of Her Mother, British Actress Judy Loe, at 78: "I Am Paralyzed" KCON L.A. Returns - How to Secure the Best Ticket Deals (and Stream the Festival Online for Free) Marilyn Bergman died in January 2022 of respiratory failure at age 93. The husband-and-wife lyricists worked particular magic with songstress Barbra Streisand and composers Marvin Hamlisch and Michel Legrand. They won Academy Awards for the best original songs 'The Way We Were' (shared with Hamlisch) from the 1973 Streisand film of that name and 'Windmills of Your Mind' (shared with Legrand) from The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). They received another trophy for their score for Streisand's Yentl (1983). They met Streisand, a fellow Brooklynite, when she was performing in a New York club as a teenager and before she starred in her breakout 1968 movie Funny Girl. Their songs for her included 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers,' which they wrote with Neil Diamond. (Streisand and Diamond recorded the song separately and then, by popular demand, did it as a duet.) Streisand also recorded their songs 'On Rainy Afternoons,' 'One Day' and 'After the Rain.' The Bergmans and Hamlisch won a Grammy Award for The Way We Were album, and the threesome shared an Oscar nom for 'The Last Time I Felt Like This' from Same Time, Next Year (1978). They also received Oscar noms with Legrand for 'What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?' (from 1969's The Happy Ending) and 'Pieces of Dreams' from the 1970 film of that name; with Henry Mancini on 'All His Children' (from 1971's Sometimes a Great Notion); and with Maurice Jarre on 'Marmalade, Molasses and Honey' (from 1972's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean). The Bergmans wrote lyrics for the Ray Charles song that opens In the Heat of the Night (1967), with music by Quincy Jones. And they penned several songs for Sergio Mendes, including the lyrics to 'Look Around.' The Bergmans received an Oscar nom in every year from 1969-74 and collected three in 1983 and then three more the following year. They were nominated 16 times in all and entered the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1980. They also wrote the lyrics for the opening theme songs for such TV series as Bracken's World, Maude, Good Times, Alice and Brooklyn Bridge and received three career Emmy Awards. 'When you're creating something, you sometimes have to go through a lot of stupid or silly things to spark your collaboration,' Alan said in a 1980 interview with People magazine. 'You learn to say what comes into your head.' Bergman met Marilyn Katz in 1956 (they wrote a song together that first day, 'I Never Knew What Hit Me,' which they said was terrible) and married two years later. They were born in the same Brooklyn hospital (he three years before her; Streisand was born at the Jewish Hospital, too) and grew up near each other, but they did not meet until they had moved west. After they wrote a song, it was Alan who would usually sing the number to the artist they were pitching, and he recorded an album of their tunes (Lyrically, Alan Bergman) in 2007. Alan Bergman was born on Sept. 11, 1925. The son of a salesman, he studied at the University of North Carolina, graduating in music and theater arts, and at UCLA, where he earned his masters. He served in World War II, writing and directing Special Services programs. Following the war, Bergman worked at CBS in Philadelphia as a TV director. While there, he met the famed lyricist, singer and songwriter Johnny Mercer, who encouraged him to write songs. Bergman then wrote for Marge Champion and Gower Champion and staged shows for Jo Stafford. Mercer encouraged Bergman to move back to L.A., and the lyricist was introduced to Marilyn at a party by composer Lew Spence. All three teamed on Fred Astaire's 'That Face' in 1957, Dean Martin's 'Sleep Warm' in 1958 and Frank Sinatra's 'Nice 'n' Easy' in 1960. ('That Face' also served as Alan's engagement present to Marilyn.) Bergman served four terms as president of the Academy Foundation, the educational and cultural arm of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In addition to his daughter, a producer on films including Major League, G.I. Jane, The Fabulous Baker Boys and Six Days Seven Nights, Bergman is survived by his granddaughter, Emily.
