'What's my name?': Barbra Streisand's outrageous demands exposed

Legendary actress and singer Barbra Streisand is known for her distinctive demands while preparing for interviews and movie performances. As reported by various sources, should these precise requests go unnoticed, you can bid the 'Woman in Love' songstress goodbye. 'Cause she won't perform, act or give interviews. High-maintenance or self-care advocate? You decide.

From stipulations about catching her good side on camera to the precise pronunciation of her name, Streisand is notoriously attentive to detail. A living example of this occurred back in 2016 when Streisand schooled an Australian TV host for pronouncing her name wrong, "What's my name? ... You said it with a 'z,' you had a double whammy," she let the host of Australia’s 60 Minutes know in no uncertain terms.

And yes, her demands stretch even into the domain of lavatories. As reported by Daily Mail, all bathrooms she’ll be using must have peach-colored toilet paper to match her complexion. Oodles of rose petals in the toilet bowl, peach-colored designer towels, and ten handpicked designer floor lamps - sounds like the restroom rules of royalty!

Yet, despite these idiosyncrasies, production houses capitulate to her demands to secure her sterling acting talent. A prime example is the crew for 'The Guilt Trip,' who bowed to her dictates just to lock her for the flick. From insisting on filming not starting before 8:30 am to ensuring the set wasn't more than 45 minutes away from her Malibu home, Streisand does know how to stand her ground.

As you may recall, speaking of her insistence on catching her 'good side' only, the singer had cancelled her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show when he requested not to disclose their seat swapping agreement. Remember when Jimmy Fallon tried to respect her request during 'The Tonight Show'? Yes, folks, even the comedy legend had to adjust!

All the 'Meet The Fockers' star’s eccentricities, however, didn’t scare off Seth Rogen, who starred alongside her in 'The Guilt Trip.' Rogen was nothing but praises for his on-screen mother, stating, "She reminded me of my own mother...She’s not very pretentious." Despite heard-through-the-grapevine stories of her being a nightmare to work with, Rogen found Streisand to be professional, personable, and prodigious at her work. With a $400 million net worth, it's clear that Streisand knows how to pull all the right chords!
