REBA McENTIRE at the WB TV TCA Party held at the Pasadena Ritz Carlton Hotel, Pasadena, California - 16.01.06 and BARRY MANILOW performing at the Office Depot Center, Fort Lauderdale, Florida - 28.10.04

The red-haired singer will perform 28 dates on Manilow's stage when the MANDY singer takes a summer break - and stay in his hotel suite - and she's already planning to surprise him when he returns.

She says, "My two sisters and mama just came to Nashville to surprise me for my 51st birthday... and they Saran-wrapped my toilet seat.

"And when I walked upstairs, they burst out of the closet and scared me to death.

"I think I'm going to do that to Barry. Wait 'til he comes home and walk out of a closet."
