We Won’t Believe It Until Jim Or Babs Blabs
Tabloid types are all abuzz amid rumors that Barbra Streisand and beau James Brolin will tie the knot this weekend on Block Island, near Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.
No clear-cut denials have been issued by either celebrity’s camp. The manager at the island’s majestic, oceanview Victorian hotel, Spring House, admits there’s a wedding scheduled this weekend, but insists it involves no one famous.

An island newspaper reported Streisand feared her pal Clinton’s presence there this weekend would attract unwelcome crowds.
