-- JUST in time for Barbra Streisand's latest planned comeback tour comes a scandalicious new bio packed with fresh dirt on the world's most reclusive diva. For starters, Christopher Anderson's "Barbra: The Way She Is" reconstructs her truly awe-inspiring sexual résumé.
In addition to exclusive accounts of Streisand's affairs with both Prince Charles and Princess Diana's doomed lover, Dodi Fayed, Anderson writes that her conquests include Warren Beatty, Ryan O'Neal, Steve McQueen, Kris Kristofferson, Don Johnson (whom friends dismissed as her "Goy Toy"), Jon Voight, Elliott Gould, Andre Agassi, Richard Gere, Omar Sharif, ice cream heir Richard Baskin, hairdresser-turned-studio chief Jon Peters, Liam Neeson, Peter Jennings, Tommy Smothers and "Robocop" Peter Weller.
But what's really sure to grab readers' attention is Anderson's painstaking portrait of Streisand's "[Maria] Callas-sized" ego, extreme paranoia and cring-inducing tantrums. highlights:
* Streisand harbors a deep fear of being assassinated, owing to her outspoken support for Israel. Around the time of the Six-Day War in 1967, Anderson writes, Streisand staged "A Happening in the Park" to thank her New York fans, but spent the concert weaving around the stage trying to make herself a more difficult, moving target for any would-be snipers.
* Hillary Clinton banned her from Bill Clinton's White House after learning she'd stayed overnight while the First Lady was in Arkansas at her father's deathbed.
* During a 1963 stage production of "Funny Girl," Streisand had a torrid affair with her co-star, Sydney Chaplin, son of Charlie. When it fizzled, Chaplin would whisper insults in Streisand's ear onstage. What really got her goat, however, was a simple four-letter word: "nose."
* As a member of the chorus at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn (alongside Neil Diamond), Streisand never had a solo and her half-sister, Roslyn Kind, was widely considered more talented.

People, people who eat people.......
for later
That's just nasty. Yuck!
I wonder if Peter Jennings ever told his buddies about the coyote f*/Streisand date?
Serpentine Sheldon Barbra, serpentine.
I'm disappointed in Steve McQueen.....
I think her left hand is performing 'short-arm inspection'.
LOL!
"That is not a painting of my wife, it is Barbara Striesand!"
I may just have to buy this book...
Okay, I can see how someone like, I dunno, Jessica Alba could be a "man-eater". As in "draws a man in, seduces him, tears his heart out and feeds it to him". That's because she's Jessica Alba, damnit.
Barbra Streisand is Barbra Streisand, not Jessica Alba. Have any of these guys seen their optometrist lately?
Clinton I can understand, but so many people in Hollywood with either bad taste or bad vision, wow!
Jon Voight? THE Jon Voight?
So she boinked a bunch of liberal sissies ... what's the big deal?
Oh, and Steve McQueen must've been drunk.
Christopher Anderson's ... reconstructs her truly awe-inspiring sexual résumé.
Excuse me while I ...
B.S. Ping.
OK, this only confirms that not only is Streisand dumb as a bag o' hammers, she's also a whore.
"Peeeeeeeople....who infect peeeeeeople...."
Simply reinforces my belief that liberalism is a self-deprecating form of mental illness.
I don't recall having heard of Barbra Streisand's outspoken support for Israel.
