The bizarre truth about life with Barbra Streisand |
2007-07-19 |
Excerpt from story...See article for remainder of article. Peach-coloured toilet roll to match her complexion, and rose petals in the toilet bowl. One hundred-and-twenty designer bathroom towels also in peach. Ten highly specified designer floor lamps. And that's before we get to the insistence that the security team wear 'neat dark sweaters' and use metal detectors. Even by the standards of a diva, staff at Castletown House had their work cut out as they made their final preparations for the arrival (by private plane, naturally) of last Saturday's performer at the stunning County Kildare castle and estate. And reports yesterday said she was making similar demands on staff at The Dorchester - where she is staying, while she performs three concerts at London's O2 Arena, the first of which was last night - including, not to talk to her unless specifically requested. After all, while Barbra Streisand still suffers from the stage fright that has plagued her 45-year-long career, it has never stymied the eye-watering list of specifications she makes before she even considers getting on stage. Not for nothing has the 65-year-old singer carved out a reputation as one of showbusiness's most talented performers and also its most imperious. Now, after a relatively long period away from the European spotlight, Babs is back, performing nine European concert dates. |
