Did you know that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women? That’s according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. And that’s why Barbra Streisand just donated a cool $5 million to LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical for women’s heart education and research program. The diva’s gift will fund the Barbra Streisand Women’s Cardiovascular Research and Education at Cedars-Sinai and for the expansion of the hospital’s research efforts. Of the donation, Barbra said “Women need to be educated about female cardiovascular disease and the medical community must be propelled toward change. Just like with breast cancer the impetus must come from women themselves striving to become empowered to reduce their risks for heart disease.”

Janet Jackson was spotted as she caught a departing flight out of LAX airport in Los Angeles which arrived in Japan’s Narita International Airport on Wednesday. When asked about what she loved in Japan, Janet responded with “I love Japan so much because it never bores me. I want to visit KiddyLand, sushi restaurants and clubs with my friends.” All these things she could do in LA. The 41-year old singer is on a 3-day tour to promote her latest album ‘Discipline’. This is Janet’s sixth number one album. She is now tied with Madonna in the US for most chart toppers for a female artist. Barbra Streisand still holds the record with 8.

Superstar Barbra Streisand is set to snub an Australian tour in favor of neighboring New Zealand - because she is still upset by the country’s criticism of a concert seven years ago. The diva was criticized by Australian fans for using an autocue to remember the stage banter in between singing tracks during her Timeless tour in 2000. What ever an autocue is I have no idea of it, she has problems with everything, small or big. She recently cancelled concerts in Europe coz the fans in some countries were not willing to pay for the high concert tickets that the organizers had put up and then she shifted the dates to some other country. Now she does not want to go to Australia coz the fans have criticized her for something. She better decide if she wants to keep her fans happy and thronging to her concerts or she wants to leave behind memories of fans that have liked her but gradually deserted her.
