Barbra Streisand infuriated decorators with her demands in renovation of Malibu mansion

Gov. Cuomo is the People's choice, and lets brother Chris hear about it; Jon Voight won't be seeing grandkids on Thanksgiving

Barbra Streisand’s diva ways apparently extend from her performances to her palace. Sources tell Confidenti@l the Grammy Award-winner made ridiculous and patronizing demands on interior decorators who recently worked on her $100 million Malibu mansion. We have learned “The Send in the Clowns” singer allegedly behaved like one by constantly squabbling with workers over prices, refusing to eat while decorators were in her house, and barring workers from even looking at her.

“They were told by a friend of hers, ‘Now children, you cannot make eye contact with Babs. You know that she does not like that. Do not look at her while you’re here,’ ” reveals our source. The design pros supposedly were outraged at being spoken to like schoolchildren and considered walking off the job. Our snitch says Streisand – who Confidenti@l reported earlier this month collected a cool $2.3 million for singing just 10 tunes at a banking conference — haggled over prices as if she were at a flea market. “It was a chore to deal with her whining, and it’s not worth the time and effort because she’s so stingy,” claims our source. “Barbra is extremely persnickety about every small detail and pattern, and she’s a huge know-it-all to boot. She sees herself as an extraordinary design aficionado.”

A “no eye contact” directive isn't necessary.

I would have volunteered to not look at her for free. She's a hag, hideous on the inside and out, and always has been. AND she can't sing.

Now there's a liberal you can believe in.

A few years back she had her peeps go around and hand out flyers to the other residents of the 8-figure per apartment coop building on Manhattan when she moved in. The flyers instructed them to not make eye contact if they met her in the hallway or elevator.

When did BS record “Send in the Clowns?” I remember Judi Collins did it once....

Wow. Fifty years in the business and she is described as a singer of a sogn she is not particularly known for. This would annoy Judy Collins and the others who have a real claim to the song.

Big surprise - I read somewhere that Sylvester Stallone is the same way with his housekeepers. “Don’t look at me!!”

What is it about Self-Appointed Goddess Feminazis that make them unable to relate to ordinary people. Hitlery has the same phobia about ordinary people looking at her.

Yes. I would have thought "People" would have been the first choice.

Now, try to get that out of your head. ;-)

A most annoying song regardless of who did it.

I remember reading something like that as well. This woman is absolutely out of her freakin’ mind, and how many hit songs has she ever had by the way? The most I can think of is 2..The way we were - a song she didn’t write and You don’t bring me flowers. There’s probably a few more, but the point being she is nowhere near the “legend” she and her her zombie fans make her out to be. She’s almost a one hit wonder and like almost every liberal “celebrity” out there they think they’re God.
