Has taken heat for the shape of [[CleopatraNose her nose]] over the years (well, decades), most notably from ''[[AmericanNewspapers New York Times]]'' critic John Simon, who has been waging a jihad on the singer's nose since the 1970s. To her credit, Ms. Streisand refused to undergo cosmetic surgery early in her career, though admittedly not out of a high moral principle; she once famously credited her unique voice to a deviated septum. "If I ever had my nose fixed, it would ruin my career." Barbra's nose was referenced on ''{{Glee}}'', where Kurt uses it to talk Rachel (who is a fan of Streisand) out of getting a nose job.

Her music is often referenced in media as being [[FagHag favored by gay men]] -- expect any man listening to or asking for a song by her to [[AmbiguouslyGay have their sexuality questioned]].
