Barbra Streisand has shocked hotel staff in a top London hotel by issuing a long list of demands during her stay in the British capital. The diva is staying in a $12,000-a-night suite in the city's Dorchester Hotel, and has reportedly issued employees with strict rules - including a demand not to look the singer in the eye. A source tells London's Evening Standard, "We were given a list of requirements that had to be met. Her manager said she needed certain things to make her feel like she was at home. She is using her own security team and will hardly set foot in the main areas of the hotel. It is easy to enter and exit the hotel from her suite without ever being seen." A source from the Dorchester Hotel adds, "We are used to famous people here, but Miss Streisand is almost on a different level. Johnny Depp was here a few weeks ago, but was very low key. He just sat with friends in the bar. He was drinking a $1,200 bottle of wine, but he did not expect any special treatment. But we are expecting everything to be different for her." Streisand begins a series of live dates at The O2 in London on Wednesday

Maybe we could do a CD bashing party along the lines of what you did before w/ Moore’s book in front of the WaPo.

At $12K per night, it’s perfectly reasonable for the customer to expect perfect compliance with their every whim.

[Obadiah]

What a poor vacuous soul. Really, you can’t help but pity her. Sure she has a lot of money, but she is a miserable creature. On one hand, if you are paying $12,000 per night to stay, you can have a reasonable list of demands. On the other hand, to demand that no staff look you in the eye displays a certain level of human cruelty and clearly demonstrates that something is very wrong with her psychologically.

Barbra drinks recycled toilet water.

[caver]

As we all know, Barbra is a major league hypocrite.

I forgot about that. Good memory Pod. Those were the days!

[dfwgator]

“Lighten up, Babs.”

[caver]

Agreed!

[Sue Perkick]

That dog looks miserable.

Johnny Depp was here a few weeks ago, but was very low key. He just sat with friends in the bar. He was drinking a $1,200 bottle of wine, but he did not expect any special treatment.

Hey BaBa: Take a lesson from Johnny, who apparently has some class, unlike most other lefty-celebs.

[AppyPappy]

The reason Depp was hanging in the bar is he is deep-down just some kid from Kentucky.

[dfwgator]

Barbra Streisand: I’m Barbra Streisand!!
Stan: So.
Barbra Streisand: So!...well...So I’m a very famous and very important individual!
Stan: Like John Elway important?!
Barbra Streisand: What!
Stan: Do you know John Elway?
Barbra Streisand: No!
Stan: Oh, so you’re really famous and important, but you don’t know John Elway...

Advance reports are unclear as to whether this results in stealing your soul, or merely turning you to stone.

*************

Which one?

[50sDad]

I wonder what her carbon footprint is?

You'll recall, she is the one who issued to the press special insturctions for the masses on how to save energy by hanging your clothes out on a clothes line. (...and you never see her servants doing that, I will guarantee you.)

[Sue Perkick]

LOL!

The cute one.

[trisham]

It does. :)

Hey, she and PIAPS have a lot in common!

At $12,000-a-night suite in the city's Dorchester Hotel, it was probably at the hotel's request that she use her own security team and not set foot in the main areas of the hotel. They probably requested she not be seen to enter and exit the hotel. Who would want this to be advertised as staying in the most expensive room.

The demand not to look the singer in the eye was probably by the hotel management for the protection of the staff's emotional wellbeing.
