Barbra Streisand ‘pissed off' over her ‘Meet the Fockers' pay
A star is scorned. Barbra Streisand is so 'pissed off' about her 'Meet the Fockers' and 'Little Fockers' paychecks from 2004 and 2010 that she may never return to the comedy movie series, the Oscar winner said in a new interview. 'Oh my God,' Streisand, 83, told Variety. 'They'd have to pay me a lot of money because I didn't get paid what the other people got paid, and so I'm pissed off.' Sources told Page Six in 2011 that Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro each took home $20 million for 'Little Fockers,' Owen Wilson pocketed $15 million, and Dustin Hoffman was paid $7.5 million. Meanwhile, Streisand made just $7 million. 3 Barbra Streisand said she's 'pissed off' she was paid less than her 'Meet the Fockers' co-stars. ©Universal/courtesy Everett / Ev The 'A Star Is Born' actress went on: 'I was in the time when women were getting paid less than the men. The head of Universal was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet.' In the 'Meet the Parents' sequels, Streisand played Rozalin Focker, the eccentric mom of Stiller's character Greg and the husband of Hoffman's Bernie. The wacky couple bump heads with retired CIA agent Jack (De Niro) and his wife Dina (Blythe Danner). Now, a fourth 'Fockers' flick is in the works and due out in 2026. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the son of Stiller and Teri Polo's characters gets engaged to a big-personality woman played by Ariana Grande. Alongside Stiller, 59, and Polo, 56, also confirmed to reprise their parts are De Niro, 81, Danner, 82, and Wilson, 56. 3 Streisand played Roz Focker in two films: 'Meet the Fockers' and 'Little Fockers.'

Photographer: Tracy Bennett When informed by Variety that Grande would be joining the 'Meet the Fockers' family, Streisand replied, 'You're kidding.' But, she added of the Oscar nominee, her grandkids are fans. 'They love 'Wicked,'' she said. Streisand's new album is called 'The Secret of Life, Volume Two' and includes duets with Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Josh Groban and James Taylor, among others. It comes out June 27. However, the 'Evergreen' singer is uncertain if she'll even perform live again. 'Oh, God. I doubt it,' she told the trade. 'But there's a little part of me that may consider that. But the other part of me goes, why?'

The 56-year-old actor will join Ben Stiller, 59, Robert De Niro, 81 and popstar Ariana Grande, 31, in the eagerly awaited fourth film in the 'Meet the Parents' franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Owen is set to reprise his role as Kevin Rawley, the ex-fiancé of Teri Polo's Pam Focker. Polo and Blythe Danner will also return for the new film, the first in the series since 2010 movie 'Little Fockers'. John Hamburg - who wrote the screenplay for the previous three movies, 2000's 'Meet the Parents' and its follow-ups 'Meet the Fockers' and 'Little Fockers' – will pen the script. De Niro is expected to produce the film alongside his Tribeca Festival cofounder Jane Rosenthal through Tribeca Productions, while Stiller will also produce through his company Red Hour films. The original film starred Ben as Greg, a nurse who suffers a series of unfortunate events while visiting his girlfriend's parents (De Niro and Danner). Polo starred as Greg's girlfriend. Plot details for the new movie are being kept under wraps but, according to THR, one of the main storylines revolves around Grande's character. In the upcoming movie, the son of Greg (Stiller) and Pam Focker gets engaged to a 'ball-busting woman who seems all wrong for him', played by Grande. The film is set for release on November 25, 2026.
