Streisand Strikes Back at Biographer
, Associated Press ^ | Apr 25, | BOB THOMAS

Posted on 04/25/2006 12:04:43 PM PDT by george76

Here's one sure way to incite Barbra Streisand's wrath: Write a book about her.

Christopher Anderson has learned that with his recently published biography, "Barbra: The Way She Is."

Streisand has retaliated not with interviews or public statements, but by way of the Internet.

On her Web site, she has issued a response she titles "Does the Truth Matter These Days?"

"Normally, I would not dignify vicious, mean-spirited mythology masquerading as biography," she begins.

"But it seems this latest rehash of other unauthorized biographies is getting a lot of attention.

"Who is the person described in this book? From what has been told to me, certainly not anyone I know.

This stereotypic image bears little resemblance to me or anything about me."

Another one would be to show a photo of her without makeup.Or better still,before the $500,000 of plastic surgery she's had.

Dearest Babsy-poo: if the person is a nasty, foul-mouthed, hate-America, hate-Bush, hate-US Military *skank*, or a mean-spirited, left-wing, mentally-ill, wacko, washed-up *b!tch*, then it's YOU, saggy-butt sweetcakes!

Dick Guttman, Streisand's publicist, said that she would have no further comment.

If only.

One of her few redeeming values is that movie from 1971, "What's Up Doc?"
