Nature called for Streisand when Dion sang Barbra Streisand Noun 1. Barbra Streisand - United States singer and actress (born in 1942) Barbra Joan Streisand, Streisand says an ill-timed trip to the ladies room was the reason she was nowhere to be seen when her Oscar-nominated song was performed by Celine Dion at the Academy Awards. ``I Finally Found Someone'' was the song Streisand co-wrote for her movie, ``The Mirror Has Two Faces.'' The academy originally wanted Streisand to sing it, but she declined. Natalie Cole was picked, but became ill at the last minute. Streisand then offered to fill in, but was told Dion already had rehearsed the song and there was no time for further rehearsal. ``Ms. Streisand definitely was looking forward to seeing and hearing Celine Dion, one of her favorite singers,'' publicist Dick Guttman said Wednesday. Streisand ``went to the ladies room and was very pained to find out when she returned that she had missed the song.'' Guttman said Streisand later apologized to Dion. Spelling roof leaks; suit asks $5 million TV producer Aaron Spelling and his wife, Candy, possessors of probably the most grandiose house in all of Los Angeles County, are headed to court today over a leaky roof. The couple are suing the contractors of their 56,500-square-foot Holmby Hills shelter for $5 million, saying the roof was poorly constructed. The contractor counters that it was built to specifications given by the architect. The house on six acres was built in the late '80s after Spelling paid $10.5 million cash for Bing Crosby's house, then tore it down to make way for the present structure, known as The Manor, during its construction. Since occupying the palace - er, place - the Spellings have complained of other irregularities. For instance, a toilet was put in front of a window ``so that the user would be directly visible.'' They also whined over the bowling balls in the bowling alley being too heavy. The house, longer than a football field, also has a gym, an entire floor devoted to closets, and an eight-car garage.
