They haven't convinced Roger McGuinn, whose electric 12-string guitar helped give the Byrds their signature sound on such '60s hits as "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Mr. Tambourine Man."
Crosby toured with Graham Nash last summer and is on the road promoting his latest solo album, "Thousand Roads."
Barbra Streisand is giving up her multimillion-dollar California estate for the good of the birds and bees.
The singer-actress-director donated her 24-acre estate to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy for use as an environmental research center and retreat.
The estate in Ramirez Canyon, which includes four homes and a caretaker's residence, will become the site of the Streisand Center for Conservancy Studies.
The property, which is bordered on three sides by land owned by the National Park Service, had been on the market for several years, with a top listing of $25 million and the last listing at $19.5 million.
Tammy Faye Bakker - now Mrs. Roe Messner - knows misery is death to mascara and eyeliner. But it's also death to the soul and self-esteem. So she's decided to reach out to the despondent with her own 900 number, offering daily messages of hope.
"I hope that people that are hurting will call in and . . . I can maybe somehow through my experience help them get up that day, put on makeup, shave, brush their teeth and get out and not just stay hovered in the house," the ex-wife of imprisoned televangelist Jim Bakker says Thursday on ABC's "PrimeTime Live."
Now able to show her face again, Tammy defends her liberal use of the makeup trowel, explaining, "I think every old barn could use a little paint."
