Barbra Streisand Was Told She Had to Write About Exes in New Memoir

Barbra Streisand has a had a long, healthy love life — and while she says she didn’t really wanna talk about it in her new book … the powers that be told her, spill it sister!

The iconic pop star — whose memoir, ‘My Name is Barbra,’ hits shelves everywhere Tuesday — sat down with CBS Sunday Morning this weekend for a chat with Gayle King … who chopped it up with her about her storied career, but also — about the men in her life.

Watch … Gayle points out that BS has quite the resume under her belt — rattling off some names like Don Johnson, Ryan O’Neal, Andre Agassi and even ex-PM Pierre Trudeau … just to name a few.

You can tell it embarrassed Barb, but she tells GK straight up … if it was up to her, none of those fellas would’ve been name-dropped in her memoir, but she was pushed into it.

Unfortunately for her (and luckily for us) … she says her editor told her she had to spill the dirty deets and “leave blood on the page” in order to move copies — and it sounds like that’s exactly what she did. BTW, she’s currently married to Josh Brolin‘s dad, James.
