Barbra Streisand Receives French Medal

Barbra Streisand performed her first-ever concert in France this week -- and was rewarded with a medal of the Legion of Honor.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy awarded the medal to Streisand in a ceremony Thursday, the first time he has bestowed the honor since taking over from Jacques Chirac last month. "You are the America that we love," said Sarkozy, who is seen as more U.S.-friendly than Chirac. "Women like you ... do a lot to bring our two peoples together."

Onlookers included French crooner Charles Aznavour and actor Alain Delon.

He is kissing her and she's kissing......HERSELF!


I'd rather see 10 million more Paris/Britney posts than one more Babs post.
