Superstar Barbra Streisand has turned down a massive $100 million offer to take up a residency in Las Vegas, according to reports. The Woman In Love singer, 67, has allegedly been approached to follow in the footsteps of Cher, Celine Dion and Bette Midler by signing a three-year contract with a Sin City promoter.
A source tells PopEater.com, “After Celine Dion left Vegas; no one has been able to replace her. Bette Midler failed; Cher is trying; only Barbra is guaranteed to succeed. She’s an international star and the only performer in the world that would make people flock to Vegas year after year.”
However, the veteran entertainer is not interested in the bumper pay check and has rejected the deal in favor of a summer 2010 tour.
The insider adds, “Money has never been a deciding factor in her career. She plans on touring again this summer instead.”
Streisand proved her superstar status in October when she stunned music experts by storming to the top of the U.S. album charts with her 63rd release, Love Is the Answer, beating Paramore and Mariah Carey to the coveted spot.

Lindsay Lohan is selling off her possessions for charity. The ‘Mean Girls’ actress is gutting her home to help her “move forward” emotionally and will sell off the unwanted items to raise funds for good causes. Her mother Dina revealed: “Lindsay’s growing up and she’s been through a lot. She’s trying to move forward. “We’re donating a lot of it to charity. Some of it will go on our Website lohanhouse.com.”
Dina says a lot of Lindsay’s possessions are designer items she has been given for free or exclusive items from showbiz events she has attended. Lindsay added: “It’s not just stuff that she bought. A lot if it is gifted so it’s not necessarily stuff she buys. Like, a company will send five pairs of jeans. So we’re going to donate items like that.” Lindsay – who has an on/off relationship with Samantha Ronson – can’t wait to get rid of many of the items and start afresh. The 23-year-old actress said: “There are a lot of people that are there for the wrong reasons. I started to realize a lot more was being taken from me than was given. It became more draining than anything else. In this industry people build you up to knock you down. If everything is in its place then I will be able to breathe.
“The biggest problem is that I have a lot of stuff. I finally have most of it in one place.” Video footage recorded by TV show ‘The Insider’ from inside Lindsay’s mansion shows rooms piled high with clothes, boxes of shoes stacked to the ceiling and discarded purchases lying unopened. Lindsay explained to ‘Clean House’ presenter Neicy Nash: “This is my home. I just want to be much more serene in here and clear.”
Multitasking mama Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has been hard at work on Broadway these days, but she says she still makes plenty of time for the two leading men in her life: Her husband Pete Wentz and their 1-year-old son Bronx Mowgli.
“We’re together all the time,” Ashlee tells OK! “Bronx is definitely finding himself, and he’s getting his own personality, so hide-and-seek, and new little things. He does sign language, so that’s been fun.”
The 25-year-old Chicago star adds, “I love being a mother.”
Her husband, tennis star Andy Roddick, usually steals the spotlight but Monday night all eyes were on Brooklyn Decker.
The sports star’s little known 22-year-old wife was unveiled as the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl on “The Late Show With David Letterman.”
After a false alarm in which Letterman pointed to a fake billboard of a naked Scott Brown (in reference to the senator’s vintage nude spread in Cosmo), a sheet was removed from the real SI billboard in Times Square to unveil Decker’s tanned body in a yellow bikini.
The “Perfect 10″ has been married to Roddick since April. According to Eonline.com, they met in 2007, after she caught Roddick’s eye in Sports Illustrated’s 2007 swimsuit issue.
As soon as Decker’s 2010 cover was unveiled, the model took to Twitter like all good celebrities, and expressed her thanks.
“THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! I Wish I could respond to every single one of you but thank you so much for your AMAZINGLY sweet tweets!”
Cover girls in the past have included Tyra Banks, Bar Rafaeli and Heidi Klum – all of whom went on to carve out successful careers in the spotlight.
