BABS BLOG
The Irreverent Guide To Barbra Streisand's Blog. Commentary on Barbra and anything even remotely related.
November 22, 2007--Hotel Openings
The grief I got for this. It's true--Barbra opened the Planet Hollywood Casino and Resort in Vegas. The once mighty movie star just doesn't seem to be able to say "no" to any engagement. Could her new house be costing that much? Personally, I don't have a problem with her playing different types of venues. I would like to see her open a Seven-Eleven or an In and Out Burger. Better yet, she should be singing on cruise ships and in malls! Didn't Britney get started in the mallls? And even Joan Rivers does the cruise ships. Very classy.

I agree - poor Britney has 2 children and an abusive ex-husband to put up with, not too mention all the papparazzi! She needs are love and support right now, so let her be in peace!

You are correct - I know that Britney reads this site regularly and she has plans to re-record "The Movie Album" (Dedicated to Barbra) as a followup to her current smash. It will be a whole new take on Emily, Smile, Moon River, etc as they will all be dance tracks! However, she says that if ya-all don stop pickin' on her, she will not even begin this eagerly awaited project. So - LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

K-Fed has not been very nice to Britney and neither has this site. We should love and respect Britney and hope she gets the help and love she needs so badly. She is a saint compared to Barbra.

Also think about Britneys two young boys - Jayden and Leroy - they need love too. I wish the whole family would get the love and respect that they deserve.

Ah - you shouldn't post things unless you know the facts - Britney's kids are named JASON and JULIUS, not Jayden and Leroy. Google is your friend.

Barbra here. Do I have to shave my head, ride around panty-less or drive around Malibu with Jason on my lap to get a little attention around here? Please see my last post about whom this site is dedicated. This week's People magazine finally ran a picture of me at the Planet Hollywood opening and I was thrilled and delighted that someone is paying attention to the important work I do (even though that dang wife-killing cop got the cover).

Hi Barbra - I know this site is about YOU, but don't you think Britney's problems are more important? And what about her proposed re-make of The Movie Album? Show a little respect, ok?

I am changing flower colors now. Ignore the man behind the curtain.

I am totally ignoring the man behind the curtain. I have been a fan of yours for many years and always knew you were quite capable of changing flower colors. Anyone who can select songs like those on "The Movie Album" is obviously capable of all kinds of witchery. In fact, I was hoping someday that you would record "The Witchcraft Album." For the album cover, you could use outtakes from the "Higher Ground" album when you were wearing the witch costume and looked like you were casting a spell on Melanie Griffith for stealing Don Johnson away from you.

Yeah, dude. I'm a surfer from Malibu and I think Babs is totally witchin'.

"The Witchcraft Album" is an excellent idea! Barbra could do songs like "Monster Mash", "I Put a Spell on You", "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" (yes - she's already recorded this but we all know she loves to repeat, repeat, repeat), "Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins" and, of course, "Emily' - because we all know she's a witch.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! Little Jaston and Presbyterian need our love. K-Fed is an animal, just like Richard Baskin.

Barbra here again. I didn't set any fires today because I was so pleased that this site is focusing on me again, finally. Jason REFUSED to ride on my lap on the streets of Malibu so Jay Landers and I are looking for witch songs. The above suggestions are being considered but I'm surprised no one suggested "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" which I also previously recorded. It is so important for me to release albums with previously released songs because it cuts down on the time I must spend in Grandma's House. I hate that place. I built the home recording studio only so I could save costly energy when it came time to record.

She also exposed her muff. Barbra would NEVER do that.

When Barbra was struggling in the clubs, there were some things she would NEVER do.

Barbra never showed her muff because she doesn't have one - she has a dick and balls - and she shows them all the time. Ha!

If she had a dick and balls she would have surely shown them during her concert. And mostly likely during the "Papa Can You SEE me" sequence. You are truly a pig to bring this up.

Barbra has female genitalia as hard as that is to believe. She doesn't show it because it's old and ugly. Britney showed hers because she is a skank. Speaking of witches, Barbra would be perfect for the part of the old, old, ancient and potentially senile muse in the new Xanadu The Musical on Broadway. The role is currently played brilliantly by Mary Testa. Still, Barbra looks more the part. Though I don't think she can memorize lines anymore.

Barbra is secretly auditioning for Mary Testa's part by wearing black flowing gowns in all her concerts. All she needs is a pointy hat and broom. Nose putty would be unneccessary. And she could certainly say her lines as long as no one gets in front of the TelePrompters.

Barbra here. I think I'd rather be ignored at this point of the conversation. These accusations are worse than anything Mike Wallace ever asked. The truth is, my mother never believed in me. She thought I should be a schoolteacher, so I grew my fingernails long -- like a witch. But I'm not a witch. I'm Barbra Streisand, from Brooklyn. And I have a little white dog that was nearly captured by an evil neighbor who got bitten by her. When said neighbor came over on a bicycle with a basket to take my dog away away in, I became hysterical. And then a cyclone came, and, well, life truly does imitate art.

By the way, my mother worked the mines while I was trying to deal with the dog issue. Luckily, I was raised on the good book Jesus, so I forgave her.
