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.”

I walked passed within in a foot of her and stared her directly in the eyes.
These elitist can kma.
Shouldn’t she be wearing those pancakes on her head? You know, like the bunny.
Helen Thomas—the ultimate liberal hag.
I can confirm that - I worked at The Anaheim Theme Park, and when Stallone was here, I saw the written instructions as to how to cater to his needs, including ‘no eye contact’.
HA! Head bopping with “Copacabana”.
Yeah but sales mean nothing, if you promote something enough you can sell absolutely anything. I mean just look at Obama. I remember in College when we were being taught marketing our Professor used “The Pet rock” as an example. It was literally a rock you would find in dirt and some guy marketed it in such a way and promoted it enough times where he made a million bucks. ROCKS he was selling rocks! Same thing with Bowwow Streisand. If you look at her hit singles, there’s not many...Maybe 4 yet because she was constantly promoted a lot of her excess garbage sold. Compare that to Elvis who had something like 18 #1’s or the Beatles who had 20 yet she props herself up to their kind of “legendary” status. I mean seriously, try to name all the hit songs she had. I can’t even count them on 3 fingers.

Never could stand the music of Babs or Liza. Melodramatic goo!
It’s good to know that I have at least one fan on Free Republic! (There’s always one!)

She’ll only know if you try to make I contact if she tries to make eye contact.
OMG, Pugzilla!
I don’t think that’s her...
“I worked on the set of Oceans Eleven as an extra and was told not to look at Julia Roberts”
She probably gets stared at a lot, but at least she’s worth looking at.
Not really....she does have an incredible smile though.
*Do not look at her while you’re here,’

I thought that you would turn into a pillar of salt if you looked into the face of hypocritical evil
Sorry, but you sound like those who claim anybody can manufacture a success simply by marketing. A standard meme of anti-capitalists.
I’m not a fan of Barbara, as I said, but millions of people voluntarily bought her records for 50 years. That’s quite an accomplishment.
I am unclear why the metric for success should be hit singles rather than steady production of albums people want to buy.
The Pet Rock guy didn’t manufacture a hit by overpowering marketing. He took what was basically a joke and got a couple million people to buy into it. He included a cleverly written “training manual,” which was the real product, and people enjoyed it.

Whatever talent she has is trumped by her black heart.
Hearing her music makes me want to vomit.
