In a new interview exclusive to CBC, Streisand swears she's just an
ordinary person and not a diva at all.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sunday/barbra-streisand-new-memoir-1.7025376

I thought you might find this amusing. I don't much care either way but
I've certainly heard her called a diva many times over the years.

I don't know either, but I can understand someone who doesn't like the
crowds that can gather around someone as well known as her. Which
could extend to what she goes through as she prepares for a
performance.

LOL! She's such a diva she has an entire "effect" named after her:

The Streisand Effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove,
or censor information, where the effort instead backfires by increasing
awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress
Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Record
Project's photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, which
was taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew far
greater attention to the heretofore obscure photograph.

The Streisand Effect is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once
people are aware that some information is being kept from them, they are
significantly more motivated to acquire and spread it that information.

LOL! As DH Lawrence once said in a book review, "Trust the tale and not
the teller." You keep falling into the same trap because you're stupid.

Of course a Van Nuys resident is jealous of Malibu

If you're referring to me, I don't live anywhere near Van Nuys.

By past postings I'd guess Manhattan Beach area down wind from the Chevron. The refinery pollution explains much. 📽

There’s a reason her son-in-law beats his wife.

Hmmm. I just went into MS-Word and verified that two of my three
childrens' names were "misspelled" (one of them is 'Johnny") as was my
own till I got annoyed and added my own name to their 'dictionary'

So why couldn't Streisand simply added her own name to Word's
'dictionary'?

Seems somewhat misnamed to me, "The Streisand Followers' Effect" would
be more accurate.

Barbra Streisand is hardly the first or only celebrity to take legal
action over a private property concern, that alone is no reason to tag
her as a "diva" and she never asked for some catty and shallow "rule"
to be thought up and named after her (probably by some political sniper
on the right).

It was actually Mike Masnick of TechDirt that coined the term and he'd laugh
his ass off at someone claiming he's on 'the right'.

More than you are with your fantastically accurate insight into who came
up with the term.

And why would one need to be a "recognized expert in the field of
psychology and human behavior" to give a name to the fact that when you
try and hide shit from people it just makes them more curious about it
than if you'd just left it alone.

That's something that anyone with more than 10 years experience on the
planet knows.
