Barbra Called "Boob" on 'Fockers' Set

Barbra Streisand has picked up a bizarre nickname from actress Teri Polo while filming the sequel to Meet The Parents - Boob. Streisand stars as Ben Stiller's mother and Dustin Hoffman's wife in Meet The Fockers, which also stars Polo, Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner. But rather than behave in a star-struck manner around her legendary co-stars, Polo has opted instead to have fun with them. She says, "It's crazy. Dustin Hoffman is a five-year-old kid trapped in a grown man's body. And Barbra Streisand has an amazing sense of humor. The director (Jay Roach) thought that I called her a boob, and Barbra laughed. So from then on, I decided that my nickname for her was going to be Boob. She answers to it too - just ask her."

I'll bet she's used to getting called worse.

[Naspino]

Wow -- You'd need a necklace of garlic and a cross to see that movie.

[11th Earl of Mar]

I can't stand babs... But I can't wait for the movie to come out either.

[Bikers4Bush]

Seeing or hearing babs illicits the same respone from me as when some deviant weirdo farts in an elevator.

[wingnutx]

The Southpark guys said they might start attacking her again this season. Words to the effect of, "We make fun of everybody, but we really do hate Barbara."

[billorites]

Are you a pothead Focker?

[Gennaro]

Watch it there. It's Barbra, not Barbara. I was chastised by
her manager many years ago for mispelling it on a
prescription label. He said to me "How famous do you
have to be in order for people to spell your name
correctly"
Arrogant putz.

when some deviant weirdo farts in an elevator

You are giving all of us deviant weirdos a really bad name.

[Bommer]

Sorry boycott! Revive her career and her voice will get louder. Besides, every Jerry Stiller movie he plays a Focker roll. Nothign to see move on to his next movie

[wingnutx]

That's funny! Obviously one needs to be a lot more famous than Babs is, or one needs to quit using the cutesy spellings.

I bet a lot more people can spell Schwartzeneggar correctly :)

[Ole Okie]

I can't stand babs... But I can't wait for the movie to come out either.

I'm not going to wait for it to come out, either.

[BadAndy]

There aren't enough wild horses to drag me into that movie. She can go Focker-self.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It was a pretty funny movie. Deniro was upset that his daughter was marrying a male nurse named Gay (Gaylord) Focker.

[Sloth]

I was chastised by her manager many years ago for mispelling it on a prescription label.

Prescription? Too bad you didn't make a more serious, non-label-related error.

[rockrr]

"How famous do you have to be in order for people to spell your name correctly?"

My response: "Perhaps you should direct your question to her mother, who either can't spell, or can't think"

[kennedy]

You were spelling it correctly. She doesn't know how to spell.

[Constitution Day]

Well, she certainly is a stupid Focker.

[doberville]

De Niro has a lesion on his nose!

[WhiteGuy]

" farts in an elevator "

Did you ping me?

[philosofy123]

Boob means STUPID!!!
