People … people who need cable … ! Those screeches echoing out of Malibu came from temperamental diva Barbra Streisand — who went ballistic when her cable, internet and phone lines abruptly went kaput at her multimillion-dollar seaside pad.

Said My Streisand Spy: “Thousands of people in the posh area all had the problem, but Barbra pulled VIP strings and got a tech to check out the problem at her house. But when she wouldn’t stop kvetching that she couldn’t watch TV or read her email, demanding an instant fix, the fed-up tech — after listening to hours and hours of nonstop bitching — blew up and laid down the law. He ordered the diva to ‘chill and look out over the ocean.’ Incredibly, Babs got the message and stayed mum, fearing the guy would split and leave her in the lurch. She never mumbled another word until he was done, then said, ‘Thank you.’”
