Was just listening to a podcast that mentioned Barbra Streisand accidentally letting slip that the GYPSY movie is still happening, and that she's debating whether she should star AND direct it.

Got me thinking what happened with Gaga starring in it. Found this:
Quote:
Lady Gaga is causing problems for Barbra Streisand. Well, not exactly, but Streisand says she spoke too soon when she recently revealed she was talking to Gaga about costarring in a new movie adaption of the legendary musical. When I caught up with Babs yesterday at the press junket for her latest comedy, The Guilt Trip, she said she "got into trouble for mentioning" the Gaga casting in a recent interview with Time magazine.
She simply explained, "It was an idea."

Made me think there was drama, because this was a thing:
Quote:
Attitude magazine reported that producer Walter Afanasieff posted a photo of him, Babyface and Streisand on his official website with the caption: "Co producing with Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds the new Barbra Streisand duets album. Which will feature singers and musicians like Lionel Richie, Babyface, Blake Shelton, Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, Michael Bublè, Lady Gaga, Bette Midler, Andrea Bocelli, Beyoncè, Billy Joel, John Mayer and many others…" However, that post had seemingly been deleted from his site by late morning on Saturday. (Perhaps Afanasieff spoke too soon?)

But then she didn't make the final tracklist. And Barbra recently said this:
[QUOTE]Asked why she did an album with only men, Streisand replied that there were female artists with whom she'd like to collaborate. On that list is Beyoncé. "I would love to sing with Beyoncé, I think she's spectacular," Streisand said, adding::
"I'd love to sing with Rihanna, Adele. But I don't know any of the other girls."[/QUOTE]
