Babs To Tour; Pollute Atmosphere
2006-06-09
If she really cared about Climate Change, she'd walk...
Barbra Streisand announced her first U.S. tour in over a decade on Thursday, saying that she planned to play 20 concerts in October and November to raise money for charitable causes.
Her and her entire entourage sheperded about in armored Hummer limos ...
"The increasingly urgent need for private citizen support to combat dangerous climate change, along with education and health issues was the prime reason I decided to tour again," Streisand said in a statement announcing the tour. "This will allow me to direct funds and awareness to causes that I care deeply about," she said.
Wow, no typos from Babs! There's a first. Must have used an editor and spell-checker.
The statement said the proceeds from the tour would be distributed through The Streisand Foundation, whose Web site says it supports causes such as human rights, breast cancer support, the environment and public policy studies.
Anyone know how much of the money raised is soaked up by Babs and her entourage?

#7  Didn't the old bat announce her "retirement" not to long ago?

What is it with these over-the-hill flaks and sportsters that make them think they can make repeated comebacks from retirement?

Another lefty celeb jumps the shark.

#6  I gave up on Babs a couple of decades ago. Haven't watched any of her movies, listened to her "music", or rented any DVDs or CDs featuring her in any role. She can have her 'tour' - I hope it's as well-received as the Dixie Chicks' tour.

#3  When every hasbeen mighthavebeenacelebrityonce latches on to an idea it's a sure sign it's all over for the dumb idea.

Good. I'm heartily sick of the Global Warming nonsense. We need to move onto the next enviroscare. I suggest volcanos and how we need to manage volcanic eruptions cos they cause global warming/cooling, tsunamis, bird flu, whatever, the specifics doen't matter, cos it's BADDDDD!

#2  Will she be contributing to global warming by flying to concert dates in her environmentally-unfriendly private jet?
