Monochrome Barbra, for her fans, is just overlooked because it's become so ubiquitous. We are more interested in the extremes of Barbraosity, like the story a friend in the biz told me about her. He is a writer and, for whatever reason, was at his agent's the same time Streisand was coming over. She called 15 minutes in advance to let them know, and when she called, they emptied the entire floor of everyone except the agent because she didn't want other people around. Maybe she had a pimple, bloated, no makeup, or a bad hair day? Who knows? Now granted, this friend HATES Barbra--he says in part because of this incident--but those are the kinds of antics I find hilarious because they're so outrageously over the top. That she wants a white mic so she paints Oprah's to match her shoes, Donna Karan skirt and sweater? That rolls off my back. LOL.

OMG.. a tour of her gorgeous home!!! I really admire her. For a woman whom people consider to be diva-ish, she has a down to earth home. It's not a castle, but a very beautiful barn. I love it!

The barn is one of three homes on the property. There's the barn, the formal house, and a guest house.

This might be my favorite Oprah ever, and it's only half over. She sounds great; Redford just walked out. Oh, and black outfit, silver mic. Maybe she's lightening up. ;-)

I liked that Redford dealt with her in a perfectly human way....no ass kissing, no deference, nothing. I think she kinda likes that. Whoever did Barbra's facelift, etc...I wanna talk to. When I'm 68 and have had some work done, I want to look that (relatively) natural. I do miss her the laugh lines she used to have from her nose to the corners of her mouth, though. And I have to admit, I've seen The Way We Were maybe 70 times--Katie, the lead character, was a role model to me and seeing that film on a Million Dollar Movie was how I became a fan--but seeing that scene outside the Plaza when Katie says, "your girl is lovely, Hubbel" and brushes his bangs makes me cry every time. Even today with just that brief snippet.

I can't wait to watch my taping! It's really making me crave a viewing of The Way We Were.

Yes, Redford seemed to be very real today. Looked to me like he was there for Barbra, but didn't particularly like the idea of being on Oprah. No Barbra -- NO Redford.

Here's Kathy Griffin talking about Barbra painting Oprah's microphone white: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8lM7aku61Y "There they were. Oprah. Streisand. Both strong black women...."

I know she has three houses, but I just love she has that barn. To me, it shows a different side to her. I agree Color. He did seem to be there only for Barbra. Barbra seems to have a calmness about her. You can see she is at peace with herself. I really loved seeing her. Yes, her face did look very natural.

Really? That's too bad. I alwasy wondered why they didn't have kids yet. Maybe this is why.

OMG Ok, I know her and Cory have this tumultuous relationship, but they are always two that I am just rooting for. Don't know why. I love him in her video and her behind the music story is awesome. I'm a big fan.

I loved the way Pink proposed to Cory. It sounds like they're in a really good place now, and I'm rooting for them, too. When I heard Eva had filed for divorce and was seeking spousal support and changing her name back to Longoria, I looked at dh and asked "What did he do?!" My first, and only, guess was infidelity. Not being a basketball fan, I've never heard the rumors.

It is hard to believe that a professional athlete committed adultery, no? (I may have heard rumors that Ms Longoria is not innocent of these sorts of things, either). And speaking of adulterous athletes, Tiger Woods has started tweeting. I can't imagine how that would go badly. Not at all.

Pat O'Brien said today that Tony has been texting (and who knows what else) heavily with a teammate's wife this past year. Talk about stupid, lose your gorgeous wife and estrange yourself from your teammates. Sheesh.

Watched the Oprah with Barbara. Is there anyone who can hear the Way We Were song and not get all choked up? Makes me cry every time. Now I need to know: when did Nick Nolte become Santa Claus?! Seriously, he needs to play the jolly old guy in a movie -- that white hair and voice would be perfect.

Did you see him on Oprah?! Almost unrecognizable! He's now Santa! But yes, a hottie in the day. Love him in 48 hours.
