Barbra Streisand ‘has gathered a 60s folk hero, a Beatle and a 80s pop star for her new Duets album’

Barbra Streisand, 82, has asked several major artists to collaborate with her on her new Duet album, due out in early 2025.

One of the crooners is 83-year-old 1960s folk singer Bob Dylan

This claim was made by Roger Friedman at Showbiz411 on Wednesday, adding that the duet has already been recorded.

And there are several other crooners who will work with the legendary icon. According to the site, Paul McCartney and Sting are also working with the Grammy-winning star.

And there has been talk that Miley Cyrus, Adele and Ariana Grande could also sing with Babs.

The site added that a documentary about the new Duets album is in the works.

This comes after she had a controversy with Melissa McCarthy.

Streisand “forgot that the world is reading” when she asked McCarthy on Instagram if she had jumped on the famous Ozempic bandwagon.

The You Don’t Bring Me Flowers singer popped the question after Bridesmaids actress Melissa, 53, posted a carousel of images on the social media platform of her and choreographer Adam Shankman, 59, outside the Center Theater Group Gala in Los Angeles, featuring she wore a pastel green blazer and dress.

After fans of Melissa’s Barbra accused The Heat actress of “body shaming,” the singer said on Instagram Stories about her since-deleted post: “I went on Instagram to look at the pictures we posted of the beautiful flowers I had received for my birthday!

“Underneath it was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album.

‘She looked fantastic! I just wanted to compliment her. I forgot that the world is reading!’

Meanwhile, Melissa was quoted by TMZ as telling paparazzi about the ‘feud’: “I think Barbra is a sweetheart – and I love her.”

One of the crooners is 1960s folk singer Bob Dylan, 83. That claim was made Wednesday by Roger Friedman on Showbiz411, who added that the duet has already been recorded; seen in September

Melissa captioned the images that prompted Barbra’s Ozempic question: ‘Pastels only in honor of the incredible @matthewbourne13 at the @ctgla gala last night with this guy @adamshankman!! This is much closer to my dream of dancing on stage (dancing and green heart emojis).”

Barbra replied in the comments: ‘Give him my regards, have you taken Ozempic?’

Instagram users called Barbra everything from stupid to rude after her question. Others defended Barbra, saying she would never deliberately try to mock Melissa.

One said: ‘Babs is 82‍ (shrug emoji) kinda normal, old people don’t know how (things) work and they don’t care.’

Melissa has been open about her weight for years, once saying she was “any size in the world” during her lifetime.

She famously collaborated with Kris Kristofferson on A Star is Born; he passed away last month

She once lost 30kg by switching to an all-liquid diet, which she later said she would ‘never’ do again.

In 2015, she lost 50 pounds by changing her mindset away from an obsession with her figure. She told Life and Style at the time, “I really stopped worrying about it.

“I think there’s something about loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”

In 2016, Melissa and Barbra teamed up for a duet of “Anything You Can Do,” which was featured on the Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer’s album “Encore.”

In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Melissa said Barbra is “really funny,” adding what surprised her about the star when they first met: “I think when she opened the door, she was wearing leggings had lunch meat in her hand. And I thought, ‘This isn’t what I expected.’

This comes after she had a controversy with Melissa McCarthy. Streisand “forgot that the world is reading” when she asked McCarthy on Instagram if she had jumped on the famous Ozempic bandwagon. Seen on October 14 in NYC
