Step aside, Mariah Carey! You've got nothin' on Elaine Stritch. The New York Post reports that after the Broadway legend appeared on PBS' Theater Talk, rather than thank the show for helping to promote her club gig, she slapped its producers with a $1,000 tab, including expenses for "hair, makeup and limo service, and no doubt anything else she could think to stuff in there," says a source. "It was genius." Theater Talk didn't pony up, but did offer Stritch a PBS tote bag. — Ben Katner

$1000 for a celebrity appearance? Pay up PBS she's billing you like it's 1957!

Right on Mrs.MikeyCera. PBS has of late shown itself to be a company of weasels,kow-towing to forces of censorship and foisting on its audience some of the most insipid programming ever seen. Do we really need all that much Yanni?

They've got the dough, they should pony up and feel lucky that someone as lively and entertaining as Elaine Stritch deigns to appear on one of their pretentious shows.
