Over their meal, Baldwin told the singer "he hoped he could be as great and as protective a parent as she is," the source claimed. That's when Brolin noted Streisand's son Jason, with actor Elliott Gould, is 50 years old and her stepson Josh Brolin is 49.

"Barbra shot him a look and said, 'James, I know you think I meddle in their lives, but you never stop being a mother,'" said the source, adding that Brolin turned to Baldwin "and said, 'I'm sure you'll know when it's time to cut the cord.' "

Streisand was "humiliated. She and James just shot daggers at each other with their eyes the rest of the night," said the snitch. By the time the bickering pair left Nobu with Badwin, his wife and NBC Universal veep Ron Meyer, "you could cut the tension with a knife," said a spywitness.

Babs' marriage is in trouble, said another insider, noting that Brolin looks "for excuses to not be home so Barbra isn't badgering." Along with his sitcom work, Brolin has churned out six movies in the past two years — including Rose, starring Cybill Shepherd. "She knows full well James avoids her," added the insider. "They are at the point of no return," and the Nobu rumble could be the final straw.
