The Way She Was: The Barbra Streisand Story

Filed under: Barbra Streisand

Funny Girl Barbra Streisand is set to publish a book documenting the construction and completion of her new home in Malibu. Do people actually give a shit about her freakin' house????

The mansion was completly designed by Streisand from top to bottom and the illustrated book, called A Passion for Design, will give an inside glance at how the superstar worked more than five years on the oceanfront property as well as showcase other residences, back from her early years in New York.

While this book project is up and running, another eagerly anticipated one keeps getting turned down: a memoir about Streisand's life. In a recent interview, Barbra says: "I go back and forth. Do I really want to write about my life? Do I really want to relive my life? I'm not sure."

She does confess, however, that there are some chapters written, in longhand, at a time when she felt "spurred on by the writing process."

At least THAT would be more interesting!

Would U read a memoir about Barbra?

      Oh, God yes! She's like buttah! AND she porked every hottie in Hollywood in her salad days! Now she's an insufferable diva.



    2. 2

      Of course she's going to leave out the fact that it's built on an ancient native American burial site

      who cares

      Nobody gives a flying fuck about this old hag. In today's recession they're many people losing their homes and this idiot thinks a book of her Malibu home would be great. Basically if you buy her pathetic book you're paying her the remodeling of her home.

      Lame…. "Here's my beautiful expensive house- you can look at it because you're not rich like me!"



    6. 6

      How lame, "You can look at my house because you're not rich like me".. wow Babs, we're so fricken honored



    7. 7

      Would U read a memoir about Barbra? NOPE, not even if you paid me to read it.

      HELL NO!

      To hell with the book! Show us her tits!



    10. 10

      NO, I wouldn't waste my time reading Bab's self-serving "design" book. However, a book regaling us with the details of all her "surgeries" might be worthwhile. And a TRUTHFUL account of her financial ups and downs, as well as all her failed relationships could be interesting…

      Design books are a dime a dozen; what makes Ms. Funny Girl think hers will be special???



    11. 11

      Rather read that than watch Cher,Madonna and Pam parade around nearly naked.



    12. 12

      A bio on lefty bitch Babs, that's $25 I will be saving!!! LMAO!!



    13. 13

      That's one of the most selfish, aggrandizing things I've ever heard. Shame!



    14. 14

      No. Except wondering how on earth she nailed James Brolin.



    15. 15

      Good God, NO



    16. 16

      Hopefully her house in the Bu is built on cliff, so with the first rains it becomes a muddy million dollar water slide. I'd read and watch that on the internet.
      "Papa can you beer me?"



    17. 17

      it'd be funny if her mansion burnt down in the next round of Malibu fires



    18. 18

      Another rich Democrat squandering millions on herself just to live the extravagant lifestyle. Where are all the Libs now pointing out what good she could have done with that money like feeding starving kids?!

      What kind of narcissistic person writes about the building of their house?



    20. 20

      Re: MP
      Amen. Talk about being totally SELF.



    21. 21

      Sweet, now the robbers will know the layout of her house before they even arrive. Priceless.



    22. 22

      PEOPLE DO NOT CARE… she is a has-been



    23. 23

      Who gives a flying f*ck what this old fart did or didn't do, including "writing" a book. Who cares. She is irrelevant.

      R.I.P.



    25. 25

      PUKE



    26. 26

      Who really cares about this tired old cow's home construction? Another gluttonous libitard flaunting her pathetic lifestyle. Pathetic old fat cow!



    27. 27

      Boo hoo….ungrateful celebrity alert, this woman complains too much, her fans money made her, yet she whines about having to sing for her supper…..shut up!



    28. 28

      Hey Mario, Her son is an uber-fag boy just like you; why don't you write about him? Write about how his mother's lack of affection when he was a baby turned him into dick-slurping, ass-licking fairy like yourself!



    29. 29

      Gee, that's funny, ’cause we don't go back and forth on whether we want to read it! No THANKS!



    30. 30

      typical demented liberal hypocrite. flaunting her ridiculous expenditures all the while saying that we need to steal more money from the middle class to pay the bills of the unemployed. no i would not read anything by this cross eyed genetic freak. and i dont think she sings so great either. her vocal tones give me the willies.

      she is an embarrassment to humanity.



    31. 31

      Barbra will read it, Perez. The rest is inconsequential. You know that.

      LOL



    32. 32

      I am a true Babs fan from the day I could walk, and would read this. As a person who loves the renovating and construction home channel, absolutely.



    33. 33

      i have no desire to read it, but I would read a Streisand bio. She is the greatest singer ever.
      As for her being irrelevant, her special and her new DVD are very popular.

      Babs couldn't write her own autobiography if she tried. If you read about her in Brice Taylor's "Thanks for the Memories" you'll see that she's a mind controlled celebot who does and says what she's told to. This book blows the lid off the Hollywood propaganda machine like you've never experienced before.



    35. 35

      I'll say it again, Perez, if you don't like Barbra Streisand, why don't you spend your hateful energy on some other more mediocre celebrity, one who perhaps is devoid of a moderate amount of talent…oh wait, you should just write about yourself!!!!!! By the way, the book isn't really about the construction/completion of her 'freakin' house, it's a detailed book on architecture, design, color, things she knows about, and yes, it will be from her perspective. Like any book. Anything wrong with that? It'll probably be on the NY Times Bestseller list for weeks, like most of Streisand's projects.



    36. 36

      Why would anyone want to read anything about or by this ignorant, ill educated, left wing witch?



    37. 37

      This is the same woman who sued the California Coastal Records Project in 2003, they were taking coastal photographs and her house was in 1 frame unidentified - until she drew attention to it by the lawsuit (which she lost) Now she is publishing photographs of her "homes" - Make a decision, you want privacy or you don't want privacy - Look at me, stop looking at me…
