Streisand Shocks Staff With Diva Demands
IMDB ^

Posted on 07/19/2007 7:08:31 AM PDT by YourAdHere

Barbra Streisand has shocked hotel staff in a top London hotel by issuing a long list of demands during her stay in the British capital. The diva is staying in a $12,000-a-night suite in the city's Dorchester Hotel, and has reportedly issued employees with strict rules - including a demand not to look the singer in the eye. A source tells London's Evening Standard, "We were given a list of requirements that had to be met. Her manager said she needed certain things to make her feel like she was at home. She is using her own security team and will hardly set foot in the main areas of the hotel. It is easy to enter and exit the hotel from her suite without ever being seen." A source from the Dorchester Hotel adds, "We are used to famous people here, but Miss Streisand is almost on a different level. Johnny Depp was here a few weeks ago, but was very low key. He just sat with friends in the bar. He was drinking a $1,200 bottle of wine, but he did not expect any special treatment. But we are expecting everything to be different for her." Streisand begins a series of live dates at The O2 in London on Wednesday

Another reason to fear a Hillary presidency. We'd have to see this thing in the White House again.

Does she still demand to have rose petals in her toilet bowl?

Well, for $12,000 a night the hotel shouldn’t gripe about eccentric celebs.

I’m not defending Barbra, but if I spent $12,000 a night for a room, I would have a lot of demands.

When Babs is in Vegas, they have to float rose petals in the toilet for her.
She is very demanding.

I think Hillary also has asked in the past that her staff not look her in the eye. What a bunch of insecure bimbo powertrip commie’s.

I’m shocked that the hotel is shocked.

The whole “not looking in the eye” is a scary thing for a woman who claims to be concerned with the plight of the poor.

If I was paying $12,000 per night I might expect a few extra amenities myself. The hotel better shut up or she will move out.

For 12,000 a night, not only would I want rose petals in the bowl but they’d have to wipe me too!

As rule, I despise Babs, but, at $12K / night, she can bloody well demand whatever she wants and the hotel better hop to it!
Still some demands are weird - not look her in the eye? Is Babs worried that the staff will see that she doesn’t have a soul?

“including a demand not to look the singer in the eye.”

Isn’t this one of Hillary’s instructions too?

Maybe she swims in it.
