Our days as a Nation intern for Christopher Hitchens were funded by Barbra Streisand's largesse so we are reluctant -- but not that much -- to bite the hand that fed us. This being what is referred to in the world of blogs as "a pisser," we felt compelled to relay the info. From Thisislondon:
"Streisand, 65, has taken over the top-floor £6,000-a-night Oliver Messel suite where she is known to have made a number of strict demands.
Staff at the hotel told how they were sent an extensive list by her management, saying Streisand must not be approached by staff unless specifically requested and exactly which linen sheets, flowers and candles she expected.
One source at the hotel: '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.
"'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 £600 bottle of wine, but he did not expect any special treatment.
"'Even Michael Jackson just sat in the bar drinking a fairly unexciting bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. But we are expecting everything to be different for her.'"
One man's "unexciting bottle of Sauvignon Blanc" is another man's "Jesus Juice."
