Barbra Streisand is the face of the superstar diva… just make sure you capture her ‘good side.’
That apparently goes for cameramen at charity telethons, too.
During the ‘Hand in Hand’ relief benefit in Los Angeles last week, the singer and actress allegedly asked photographers to shoot her only from the left side.

Streisand was joined by celebrities like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Cher, Billy Crystal, Justin Timberlake and Kerry Washington for the event.
‘There were a ton of celebrities on the red carpet, but she wanted to walk the carpet in reverse order, so the cameras would only shoot her good side,’ a source at the charity event told Page Six.
‘It was as if she was a salmon swimming upstream,’ they added.
Streisand, 75, is known for having cameras only shoot her from the left, according to Page Six, even having Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon rearrange his set to accommodate the demand.
Nevertheless, the ‘Hand in Hand’ charity telethon was a smashing success, raising more than $44 million for the victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, ABC News reported.

Streisand is well known for making eccentric demands, exercising her diva prowess wherever she goes.
During a week long stay at a £1,500-a-night spa hotel in March, she asked the staff to observe Los Angeles time… to help her avoid jet-lag.
The multi-Grammy and Oscar winner enjoyed breakfast at 4pm, lunch at about 9pm, followed by spa treatments, then had dinner delivered to her luxury suite at 2am.
Bev Strong, VIP booker at Champneys in Tring, Hertfordshire, UK, where Streisand stayed, said: ‘She wanted to avoid jet-lag so asked that we observe American time. She had her treatments and personal training very late at night. ‘
The superstar also asked Champneys to provide a hand-made box filled with freshly cut turf so her dog Samantha, a Coton de Tuléar, could go to the loo on the balcony outside her room.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Streisand is married to actor James Brolin.
Hurricane Harvey left 82 people dead and between $80 billion and $160 billion worth of damage when it hit Texas last month, according to Vox.
The Miami Herald reported that 42 people died in during Hurricane Irma and will cost the state of Florida billions in damages.
