TALENT SHOPS COURTING PALIN

.... Public-relations powerhouse Howard Rubenstein added, "She's poised to make a ton of money." But he warned, "She ought to keep an eye on what her goals are for 2012. If she plays a game and looks foolish, if she sounds like she doesn't know what she's talking about - like saying Africa is a country - she may talk herself out of a political job."

Linda Mann, president of Mann Media, which books celebrities and fashionistas for TV, noted, "Her buzz is incredible. She has car-wreck appeal. You're compelled to watch, hoping she'll say the dumbest things possible. I'd propose a show combining her love of fashion and lack of brainpower - 'Project Dumbway.' "

What kind of money can Palin expect? "That's an interesting question because everybody will compare what she gets to the book deal Tina Fey reportedly made - $6 million," said one high-ranking publishing source. "No matter what it is, the betting is she'll sign a deal by the end of the month."

One agency not expected to pursue Palin is Endeavor, for the simple reason that its founder, Ari Emanuel, is a rabid Democrat and brother of Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel, who has been tapped as Barack Obama's chief of staff.

BABS OBJECTS

BLEEDING-heart liberal Barbra Streisand is such a rabid hater of President Bush that she freaked out when stepson Josh Brolin told her he'd accepted Oliver Stone's offer to star in "W." as the commander in chief. "She said: 'How much are you getting paid?' I told her it was a very low fee. She said, 'Then why are you doing it?' " Brolin tells The Times of London. "She was furious and would not talk to me. I kind of liked that one."

ROSEANNE ENCORE

AFTER appearing at the NY Comedy festival with Lizz Winstead Wednesday night, Roseanne Barr did a surprise show with Randy Credico at the new Lenny Bruce Comedy Club in the basement of the Yippie Museum on Bleecker Street. Barr said she was grateful that "whoever fixes the elections let a Demo crat win this time," and felt invigorated to perform "for a bunch of cool old hippies like myself." She predicts the new Obama era will augur a comeback for "clever, sophisticated humor." According to her pal Scott Pellegrino, the left ies were "wowed" and Rosey had a ball.

CLINT WON'T PLAY POLITICS

POLITICS is hell. Just ask Clint Eastwood, who says he'll never seek pub lic office again. "Not a chance. I enjoyed being mayor of Carmel , but you do see that it is very difficult to get things done," the raspy-voiced Oscar winner tells London's Observer. "You just have to lose your soul. You have to BS people. You have to deal with people you don't care for and will never be friends with, so you kind of sell yourself out to be a politician. You have to kiss it up with the world. That ain't my style."

2. A line which says as much about the world of "celebrities and fashionistas" as it does about Paliln.
