When stories started circulating that Barbra Streisand cloned her dog it felt like fake news. The story of Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett being clones from 14-year old Samantha in 2017 sounded seriously made-up. But it wasn’t!
Streisand has confirmed the story is 100% accurate.
In an interview with Ramin Setoodeh of Variety, Barbra Streisand revealed that the two current dogs were cloned from cells taken from the mouth and stomach of her 14-year Coton de Telear but that she can tell the difference. “They have different personalities,” Streisand told Setoodeh. “I’m waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her brown eyes and her seriousness.”

One thing that is consistent with Barbra’s beliefs is her revulsion of Trump. “Now, in retrospect, Bush looks quite good compared to Trump. At least he’s not mean-spirited,” she said.
A few more reveals. Streisand says her performance days are over. “I’m not going to sing live again,” she said.
As for the upcoming reboot of A Star Is Born starring Lady Gaga in the role she played in 1976, Ester Hoffman. “It’s good,” she said. “I don’t want to talk about it because I don’t want to spook it. I can’t believe that was 40-some years ago. I think he did a wonderful job with her.”
