Nathan Lane Lives With Streisand (Sort Of)
Nathan Lane has penned a children's book, Naughty Mabel, and he recently stopped by Ellen to discuss the tome, which follows the exploits of an extremely pampered pup. Co-written with the Tony winner's partner, Devlin Elliott, the project was inspired by the pair's own canine, who thinks she's a bit of a celebrity. "You can't look her in the eye...it's like living with Streisand," Lane joked. Check out the hilarious interview (and Lane's new hairdo!) below.
