I really REALLY hate this bitch.

LOS ANGELES, June 25 — It could have been Oscar night, what with Billy Crystal cracking wise about movies and politics, money and baseball — just like in the old days when the Academy Awards ceremony was held across the street at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

The much-heralded highlight was the Barbra Streisand-Neil Diamond reunion duet, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," which they had not performed together since Jimmy Carter was in the White House. Ms. Streisand crooned at center stage, where a stool, table, vase with red roses, teapot and cup had been placed for her performance, while Mr. Diamond sang from remote stage right, walking into the spotlight only for the final chorus, and the tender kiss the two shared afterwards.
