SQUABBLING SISTERS!
TOO close for comfort! Sasha and Malia Obama have been sharing an
apartment in L.A., and sources tell Star the sisters are begging parents Barack
and Michelle to let them get their own places. “They’ve tried to live with
each other, but they’re getting on each other’s nerves and fighting all the time,”
says an insider. Among their issues? Harvard grad Malia, 24, who’s working on
Donald Glover’s show Hive, wants more privacy to spend time with boyfriend
Dawit Eklund. Meanwhile USC student Sasha, 21, is craving space to hang out with
her boyfriend Clifton Powell Jr. and their friends. “She’s sick of Malia bossing her
around,” notes the insider. “Plus they take each other’s clothes without asking.”
(As any sib knows, that’s a serious crime!)
While mom and dad have broken up countless arguments between the two,
the former president and first lady aren’t giving in. “They find it a whole lot easier
knowing the girls are in the same place and are there to keep an eye on each other,”
explains the insider. “They know the girls are super tight and this is just sister stuff.”

GLEE STARS
SPEAK OUT
Kevin McHale had one emoji to describe The Price of
The Price of
Glee: : a trash can. Discovery+’s three-part docuseries
about the monster hit, out Jan. 16, promises “access
to key cast and crew members” who will
tell the “real story” behind the Fox
phenomenon about a high school glee
club. Problem is, none of the series’
key players wanted anything to do
with the production. “Show me this
‘cast’ you speak of,” Kevin sniped on
Twitter. Earlier, Chord Overstreet, who
played Sam Evans, dismissed the tellall
as “bulls**t,” while in October

“Us and all of our friends
have nothing to do with it,”
Kevin says. But Lea is worried.
The doc promises to show the
“highs and lows” of the show,
which ran from 2009 to 2015.
said he had no desire to go back and relive “painful
memories.” (Among them, Corey Monteith’s fatal
overdose in 2013; Mark Salling’s 2017 suicide after
pleading guilty to possessing child porn; and Naya
Rivera’s accidental drowning in 2020.) Though
she’s stayed mum, Lea Michele is especially
worried about the doc revisiting allegations of
bullying against her. “She’s had a whole lot of bad
press already,” a source tells Star. “Now they’re
dredging it all up again.”
