BARBRA STREISAND & HER NEW DESIGN BOOK

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARBRA STREISAND has finished building her dream house and has started to think about her life.
The actor/director/singer has reached an agreement with VIKING PRESS for A PASSION FOR DESIGN, an illustrated book scheduled for the fall of 2010.
It includes photos of the MALIBU oceanfront compound she worked on for more than five years. In writing about where she lives, she has been writing about herself.
Long reluctant to discuss her private life, Ms. Streisand told the AP that she has been working on chapters, in long hand, for a separate book.
But she hasn’t made up her mind whether she will complete the memoir and publish it.
