Barbra Streisand's aide, Tina Fortenberry, arrested on drug charges
People. People who need people like their famous bosses to bail them out of jail. . . .
Barbra Streisand's personal assistant, Tina Fortenberry, was busted on drug charges in Malibu this week.
Fortenberry was arrested on Wednesday after police discovered cocaine, methamphetamines and a weapon in her car, police told the New York Daily News.
We've heard such tales about Streisand's diva demands, we almost would not blame an assistant for needing to numb out.
Cops pulled over Fortenberry, 52, on Pacific Coast Highway because of that old bugaboo: expired tags.
Searching her car, they allegedly found drugs and, according to TMZ (but unconfirmed), they seized a "sap," a blackjack-style weapon.
Fortenberry was driving on a suspended license and going to the post office on an errand for her boss, police said.
She was released on bond and is set to appear in court in July.

Hey Elizabeth, have you ever met Streisand? Ask anyone who's ever worked with her. She is nothing like you tabloid "psuedo-journalists" write about. So sad, you must be in life, that you have to make a statement about Ms. Streisand. Get a life, Ms. Snead!
Sorry to hear about Ms Streisand's dilema with her assistant. However, I am interested in pursuing the job as replacement assistant. I don't use drugs and I have a valid California drivers license. I also have a background of working for entertainment types; film producers, Brandos, Pat and Wally Cox, Warner Bros. TV publicity, A & M Records and Capitol Records sales and promotion, Ivan Reitman/Montecito Picture Company as a consultant.
Jeff,you are so right!!!
i'm very happy somebody said this!!!
She is really nothing like that!
