Barbra Streisand : InStyle.com What's Right Now

Hillary Clinton, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Michael Douglas Honor Barbra Streisand, Plus More Parties!

Apr 23, 2013 @ 3:15 pm

A star wasn’t born last night in New York, but appropriately recognized: Barbra Streisand was the object of accolades and tributes from the likes of President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary, Catherine Zeta-Jones and husband Michael Douglas, and more at the 40th Annual Chaplin Award Gala at Lincoln Center. The Film Society gives a Chaplin Award every year to an artist who has made significant contributions to the art of film. Streisand was also serenaded from some of music’s most iconic performers, including Liza Minnelli and Tony Bennett, who closed the program by singing Chaplin’s happy-go-lucky song “Smile.” And smile Babs did!

The Way They Are: Barbra Streisand & Donna Karan Together Again on Oscar Night!

Feb 25, 2013 @ 11:03 am

When legendary singer Barbra Streisand took to the stage to perform “The Way We Were” at last night’s Academy Awards (for the first time in 36 years), she was glittering from head-to-toe in a look by a designer who just happens to be her best friend: Donna Karan. “We’re like sisters!” Karan told InStyle.com at the Governors Ball after-party. “It was really a collaboration to celebrate her shining star, and her lightness. That’s why it was black and gold. And then when we saw the set, it was one of those things that very rarely happen in life, it’s very rare that you get that pull. And she just radiated.” Karan named the black, asymmetrical dress “City Lights,” a construction of chiffon layers encrusted with matte gold sequins and beads complete with a long-sleeve capelet. Watch Streisand perform the iconic song as an homage to composer Marvin Hamlisch (which won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1973) here!

Barbra Streisand Will Perform at the Oscars for the First Time in 36 Years

Jan 30, 2013 @ 6:00 pm

Best news of the day: Babs is back! Barbra Streisand will perform at the 85th Annual Academy Awards, taking over the Oscars stage for the first time since her performance of “A Star Is Born” in 1977. ”In an evening that celebrates the artistry of movies and music, how could the telecast be complete without Barbra Streisand?” producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement. “We are honored that she has agreed to do a very special performance on this year’s Oscars, her first time singing on the show in 36 years.” No word yet on what the two-time Oscar winner will perform, but combined with Adele’s performance of the theme from Skyfall, it’s sure to be an epic diva-filled night! (Seth, who?!) Tune in to ABC at 7/6c on February 24 to hear the vocal powerhouses in action.

Remembering Composer Marvin Hamlisch

Aug 7, 2012 @ 5:29 pm

The lights are shining a little dimmer on Broadway this afternoon: Marvin Hamlisch, the composer behind classics like A Chorus Line and Barbra Streisand’s “The Way We Were,” has passed away. The 68-year-old pianist, who had amassed countless Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and Tonys over the course of his career, also added his touch to soundtracks for The Spy Who Loved Me and Sophie’s Choice. “He was a true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being. I will truly miss him,” Streisand said in a statement released today. Watch Streisand perform “The Way We Were,” above, and leave your Marvin memories in the comments.
