When Christina Aguilera is on tour – she insists she has the following in her room - Flintstones Chewable Vitamins---she also requires; Soy cheese and Oreos, votive candles, Nesquick and dried cranberries and Not to mention an organic smorgasboard .
Not too hard to accomdate – but here are much more insane celeb demands…
Jennifer Lopez
She may be a fan of both charity appearances and birthday concerts for dictators, but wherever J-Lo goes, she has some very particular demands for her dressing room, including an all-white color scheme. Everything has to be white; flowers (her rider lists roses or lilies), lounges and chairs, and Diptyque candles in pre-approved scents (these candles retail for R600). Even the food is preferred to be white — fish and grapes. Jennifer may want a pure and calming environment before her performances, but this may be taking it a little too far.
Kanye West
It's no surprise that Kanye, the self-professed ego of hip-hop, has some strange and ridiculous requests on one of his most recent tour riders. The rapper must have some sensitive skin, because his list of demands not only includes several different moisturizers and face scrubs, but also having imported Versace towels cut into size to use for his sweaty face on stage. Kanye finally insists all that his drivers and crew be wearing 100% cotton with absolutely no man-made fibers.
Madonna
Madonna certainly travels with a large entourage, as she requires there be ample space at every venue for her 30 bodyguards, yoga instructor, personal dry cleaner and chefs. She even needs a room for her acupuncturist! This pop diva certainly looks after her health stringently — she won't trust anyone except her own crew. She also requires an all vegan menu for her meals and that all flowers be cut uniformly to six inches in height.
Katy Perry
This California Girl has very specific requirements for her performance dressing room that may require venue promoters to do some running around. They include cream or soft pink draping, a refrigerator with a glass door, and floor lamps in "French ornate style." She also demands a flower arrangement in various shades of white, pink and purple, but there is to be "ABSOLUTELY NO CARNATIONS." Chauffeurs and drivers are not allowed to converse with Perry, or even look at the back through the rearview mirror
Beyonce
On her most recent "Mrs. Carter" world tour, this legendary pop diva lived up to her reputation. To ensure that she was comfortable on her whirlwind tour of venues she required that her VIP dressing room be always maintained at 78 degrees, and special alkaline water served at 21 degrees. To keep her moneymaking voice in check, she also asks for "hand-carved ice balls" to suck on while getting ready. Food-wise, the biggest requirement is absolutely no junk food allowed backstage, and "HEAVILY SEASONED" baked chicken, almonds and oatcakes.
