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

including a demand not to look the singer in the eye.

About 10 years ago, Babs was singing in Vegas. I had a friend who worked in the casino where she was performing. Babs got to the stage through the kitchen. Employees were told NOT to look at her or speak to her or they'd be fired. When I've told this story to people, few believed it.

I can't stand people who work to be famous, then complain because they are.

No problem.

Who wants to look her in the eye?

[lowbridge]

Is Babs worried that the staff will see that she doesn’t have a soul?

Shes doing them a favor (in lieu of a tip). She might turn them into stone.

[Mr. Brightside]

strict rules - including a demand not to look the singer in the eye... Her manager said she needed certain things to make her feel like she was at home

Nothing makes you feel more at home than having those around you feel too intimidated to look you in the eye.

No talent and no class.Quite comment among today’s Hollyweird crowd.

Spent a week in London last month.An *adequate* (barely adequate) hotel in central London goes for at least 150 Pounds....which is $300 at current exchange rates.

They should have called over Robert Smith to the hotel.

[LucyJo]

They can feel good about their power and pretensions as long as they don’t have to chance seeing themselves as they really are in the eyes of real, unpretentious people.

The Celebrity complaint Department.

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch.

[dennisw]

Liberal people hating, baby hating (abortion) at its finest. Streisand cannot bear the little people

[LucyJo]

Well, for $12,000 a night the hotel shouldn’t gripe about eccentric celebs.

That "eccentricity" may be one reason hotels have to charge those prices to house them.
