From a special rooms for wigs to having an all - white room, here’s a look at a few weird celebrity demands that rank from bizarre to outrageous
Beyonce
Being under Queen Bey means that you have to prepare yourself for some interesting times. The popular singing allegedly demands that her dressing room has to be kept at 78 degrees and there should be no Coca Cola products anywhere near here as she endorses Pepsi. The singer is also very specific about her food demands. She requires juicy bakes chicken legs, wings and breasts only which should be heavily seasoned with cayenne pepper, fresh garlic, salt and black pepper, lightly seasoned green beans and lightly seasoned spinach. Rose scented candles are also a must. A former nanny has also claimed that the singer made her learn the entire choreography from Single Ladies so that she could perform it for Blue Ivy on demand
Jennifer Lopez
The singer apparently doesn’t like getting distracted by horrible colours. In fact, for a brief cameo in a charity video, Jennifer Lopez requested white flowers, white chaise lounges, white chair covers, white candles, white drapes, white sheets and Cuban food. She is also very particular about her coffee and needs it to be stirred counter-clockwise only.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is known to be quite the diva and has no qualms admitting the same. The singer’s riders request are said to include Cristal and bendy straws from which to sip it, as well as two air purifiers, an assistant to dispose of her gum and another assistant to help her on staircases and couches in dark colours with “no busy patterns.” She’s also alleged for keeping over 20 humidifiers in her bedroom so she can sleep in rainforest-like conditions. Reports also surfaced around 2009 claiming she wanted 20 white kittens and 100 white doves to be released while she turned on Christmas lights at Westfield London Shopping Centre.
Justin Bieber
Doing a photoshoot with Justin Bieber means you have to prepare for some interesting demands before he steps foot in your studio.In addition to requesting for herbal tea, deli meats, veggies, Swedish Fish and Ritz Bits (in both cheese and peanut butter varieties), don’t even think of playing Selena Gomez music when he is around. And if you need to talk to him about any detail, you’re out of luck. Apparently you cannot speak directly to him.
Julia Roberts
The Pretty Woman seems to think her children are pretty dumb. According to a former staffer, Julia Roberts used to force her kids’ nannies to wear long red wigs when tucking the little ones into bed at night. “It was a bit weird, but I get it,” the nanny said. “She hoped they would think it was her putting them to sleep instead of the sitter.”
Madonna
Thinking of attending a live Madonna show? Well be prepared to sweat it out. The singer allegedly does not allow air conditioning in every menu to protect her vocal cords. In fact, fans who flocked to see her Confessions World Tour in London in 2006 began fainting as temperatures inside the arena hit the 90-degree mark. The singer also reportedlu requires a brand new toilet seat at every show, in addition to dozens of white or light pink roses cut to precisely 6 inches and candles to protect from “negative glances and mean-spiritedness”.
Charlize Theron
This actress isn’t particularly loved by her staff who have some pretty strange stories to tell. “I wasn’t allowed to speak or even look at her,” one of Theron’s former nannies revealed previously. The nanny said if she had anything to communicate with her boss about the children she had to write it down in a diary.
Cher
Pop superstar Cher demands a special backstage room where she can keep all her wigs while she is on tour. Staff are asked to provide a room with one large table and three chairs for the singer’s wigs, while a joint space for both wigs and costumes would be considered if they was no way a toupee room could be provided. On one of her earlier tours she also requested a separate room for her massage therapist, bouquets of freshly-cut lillies and gardenias for her dressing room, a TV showing classic movies, and places a ban on fake plants.
P Diddy
American rapper Sean John Combs better known by his stage names Puff Daddy, Puffy or P. Diddy seems to have a thing for soaps. The singer is alleged to demand for 204 towels and 20 soap bars ahead of his shows.
