Barbra Streisand is so insecure about one side of her face that she canceled an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" because of it, the comedian claims. "If a guest wants you to swap around your set so the camera gets their best side, do you refuse?

The Oscar winner opened up about Hillary Clinton’s loss during an interview with WNYC’s Leonard Lopate. In her opinion, it all came down to the fact that “women are still so underestimated” in society. “It’s incredible to watch even this last election with Hillary, the kind of strong woman, the powerful woman, the educated woman, the experienced woman, being thought of as the other, or too elite, or too educated,” she said. “It’s very, very odd to me, and it was heartbreaking...
