However, she says, ``this kid Eminem is really interesting. I can relate to the truth, and I can relate to emotion, and I can relate to him in some strange way. ... I was raised in the projects. I was born in Brooklyn. We were poor. I relate to that stuff because that's my roots, my heritage.''

Babs in ta hood! That's rich. What a maroon.

["]... I was raised in the projects. I was born in Brooklyn. We were poor. I relate to that stuff because that's my roots, my heritage."

Only half true. She was born in Brooklyn, and her family was poor after her father died when she was 15 months old -- but she never lived in "the [housing] projects."

She had a fairly stable but lower-middle-class existence, with a stepfather she despised, until she set out to conquer show business in 1959 after graduating from high school -- and underwent quite voluntary poverty, schlepping her cot from one friend's apartment to another.

Don't you love her bloviating about "the truth"? Some actually did get out of "the projects," such as Whoopi Goldberg. Streisand's pretense is an insult to her.
