ENTERTAINMENT NEWS BRIEFS

Streisand chides Democrats: "Funny Girl" Barbra Streisand hasn't been laughing since November, and Bill Clinton's loyal friend is fed up with her party's leadership. In a three­ page memo to top Democrats, Streisand accused them of being "paralyzed, demoralized and depressed" since the election of President Bush. "We have a president who stole the presi­ dency through family ties, arrogance and intim­ idation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfran­ chising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities," Streisand wrote last week from Malibu, Calif., in a letter signed simply "Barbra." Streisand's publicist, Dick Guttman, forwarded to the media on Monday an edited version of the memo, titled "Nice Guys Finish Last." "I hope you're through arguing among yourselves and distancing yourselves from President Clinton," Streisand wrote. "Let's not let them divert attention from the success of his administration over the past eight years. Let's not allow the Republicans to take away the gains we've made."

Ashley Judd to be Catwoman: Ashley Judd has snagged a purr-feet new role as Batman's nemesis in the new movie "Catwoman."
