    The queen of disco is gone, but her music will live on. Here are my fave Donna Summer songs to boogie to through eternity: *"No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" A slow-percolating, then explosive duet with Barbra Streisand. Could you imagine just being a fly on the wall in that recording studio?

    Footage Of Streisand Whipping Harrison Ford

    ​You have to trust me on this one. In the blurry but still discernable video in the attached link, Barbara Streisand is done up in full leather dominatrix gear and whipping Harrison Ford like a maniac. No, she's not mad because he gave her hydrangeas.
