Here's one sure way to incite Barbra Streisand's wrath: Write a book about her.
Christopher Anderson has learned that with his recently published biography, "Barbra: The Way She Is."
Streisand has retaliated not with interviews or public statements, but by way of the Internet.
On her Web site, she has issued a response she titles "Does the Truth Matter These Days?"
"Normally, I would not dignify vicious, mean-spirited mythology masquerading as biography," she begins.
"But it seems this latest rehash of other unauthorized biographies is getting a lot of attention.
"Who is the person described in this book? From what has been told to me, certainly not anyone I know.
This stereotypic image bears little resemblance to me or anything about me."

Here's one sure way to incite Barbra Streisand's wrath: Write a book about her. Another one would be to show a photo of her without makeup.Or better still,before the $500,000 of plastic surgery she's had.

Dearest Babsy-poo: if the person is a nasty, foul-mouthed, hate-America, hate-Bush, hate-US Military *skank*, or a mean-spirited, left-wing, mentally-ill, wacko, washed-up *b!tch*, then it's YOU, saggy-butt sweetcakes!
To: Grampa Dave
Anderson has been a prolific biographer of celebrities.
His 13 previous books include such titles as "American Evita: Hilary Clinton's Path to Power," ...

I hope Mr. Anderson's book is wildly successful, but I couldn't bear to read a whole book about that ignorant, hateful, hook-nosed hooker. It'd be like reading an entire book about a turd. Just give me the adjectives.

She's one big saggy wrinkle. That $500k was a real waste of money, IMO. I saw a pic of here recently, and she's still just as *fugly* as ever.

Maybe she should read it before opening her fat trap.

Typical RAT/lib/socialist. She can print her vile screed about President Bush, Republicans, conservatives, et al., but let unflattering words be written about her, and all hell breaks loose! Hypocrite

The way she views herself and the way she views her contacts with people could be way off compared to how all those around her think of her.
She considers herself a princess and many around her might consider her a b!tch.
Just because the writer did not write her princess perception of herself in his book does not make princess correct in her views.

Exercise will do the job...if you're sagging...even the face...you've got 57 muscles in the face...exercise those muscles. You can either keep the face from sagging or if it's sagging now, you can get that face back in shape. At least, it looks natural.
The plastic surgeons are even recommending to their patients after surgery to do the face exercises.

I was not aware Blabbs was able to read, she can not write. Maybe Blubber the Pervert can assist her, He most likely owes Her a few favors for services rendered.

Go for it Babs! Sue for libel, and if these things are false, you will win.

Or better still,before the $500,000 of plastic surgery she's had. She has absolutely refused to spend any $ doing plastic surgery on her nose over the years for fear of ruining/altering her singing resonance. It's about the only intelligent thing I will comfortably give her credit for doing.
To: Cincinna
Right - exactly. She can put her millions into the libel suit.... yeah sure. Let's just see if she really does put her money where her liberal-speak mouth is!
