The bizarre truth about life with Barbra Streisand (Demands rose petals in toilet)
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 7-19-07 | KATHYRN KNIGHT

Peach-coloured toilet roll to match her complexion, and rose petals in the toilet bowl. One hundred-and-twenty designer bathroom towels also in peach. Ten highly specified designer floor lamps.

And that's before we get to the insistence that the security team wear 'neat dark sweaters' and use metal detectors.

Directing a night shoot in New York for one of her movies, her perfectionism resulted in the production running a few hours behind schedule. Just before one take, she noticed more light than usual.

"Where the **** is that light coming from," she screamed. "It's 5.30am," a hesitant crew member responded. "I think it's the sun."

"Well, do something about it," she replied.

Political

These days it is politics, rather than dressing-room requirements, which tends to be her focus. A lifelong Democrat, she has remained vocal in her political stance. She abhors George Bush and often expresses her horror of military action in Iraq under the heading 'statements' on her website.

Due to her outspoken liberal views and support for Israel, Streisand

Where’s Robert Smith of “The Cure” when we need him?

IMO, Streisand is a first-class elitist moron. Supporting Israel and Liberals contradict each other. Liberals would sell Israel out in an instant as well as being anti-semitic. Babs needs to get her facts straight.

How could “celebrities” possibly survive without their money? How vulnerable they really are.

I say we leave the capitalist profligacy out of it. She didn’t twist any arms to buy her records. She didn’t make her money by highway robbery or a seat in the Congress. If she wants rose petals in her potty, she earned them.
Her politics, now...that’s fair game.

With Barbara's fixation on the "color" of toilet paper and the "look" of the water in the toilet bowl...

it's obvious where her view of the world comes from!

My thought was that her fixation on “peach” and how that should match her complexion speaks with racist overtones...

These people are so removed from reality that they have no business speaking about anything that matters.

The bizarre truth about life with Barbra Streisand

I don't know what planet the author lives on, but in my world this is an entirely typical LA liberal mindset.

I hate Mecca Streisand.

Robert Smith rules! Viva South Park!

Common scum like you and me should consider ourselves honored just to be on the same planet as our Hollywood betters.
