Israel says Barbara Streisand has pulled out of a celebration of the country's 60th anniversary next month.
Streisand was one of the big-name guests slated to appear at a festive Jerusalem convention hosted by President Shimon Peres beginning May 13. The American diva was supposed to perform a rendition of the Hebrew prayer Avinu Malkeinu, or Our Father Our King.
But Peres' office says Streisand has now announced she will not be coming. It says she gave no reason for the sudden cancellation.
The anniversary convention's guest list still includes heads of state like U.S. President George W. Bush and technology czars like Google founder Sergey Brin.

My eyes! Someone, donate a bra for that woman!
Maybe she couldn’t afford to go. You know her water bill is about $8K a month. And, she probably has invested in Algore’s carbon offsets...

It’s the same day as her mammoplasty and lift.

Yeah, she used to be a big supporter of Israel. Now the fact that Israel has to defend itself probably clashes with her liberal ideals.

Shoot, if I were an Israeli, I’d be thrilled not to have Looney Lefty Babs making an appearance.
