Celebrity Demands & Requests Backstage

I think we have all heard a few stories here and there about celebs and things they demand when traveling and backstage. Well I found a list of celebs and some of their funny, quirky and crazy demands. . .

Justin Timberlake requires that someone goes around every couple hours to disinfect doorknobs . . . {these days with some of the things that go around, I almost can't blame him. It also may be the case that he's not just worried about the germs themselves, but is trying to keeping from catching anything and getting sick since he does perform a lot. who knows?}

David Hassellhoff insists on a life sized cut of himself backstage {ha ha - why does this not surprise me??}

Mariah Carey insists on having a new toilet seat and gold faucets installed in her hotel suite before she checks in. She flies in her own personal bed linens and must have enough of a certain kind of mineral water so she and her dog can bathe everyday. She also requests that her dressing room have puppies, kittens & bunny rabbits (haha), and an attendant to take her used chewing gum.

Beyonce requires a fresh scrubbed and disinfected backstage toilet {I can't blame her for this - I would require this too!}

Barbra Streisand made a requests in London at two different hotels to have rose petals in the toilet, peach colored toilet tissue to match her complexion, and 120 designer bath towels, also in peach. {Oooookaaaay?!?!}

Jennifer Hudson had an appearance canceled due to her diva like demands which were: five cars, hair, makeup and security staff and . . . baked chicken wings for breakfast

Prince requires a Dr. be backstage and on hand to give him a B-12 shot and that all food be covered in plastic wrap until he uncovers it {I don't think that food part is that weird, do you? Sometimes I am kind of weird about my food sitting out too}

Van Halen requests a bowl full of M&M's BUT with all of the brown ones removed. The only reason they do this is to make sure the organizers are fully reading the contract and they are more concerned about their equipment being set up properly. They know that everything will be taken care of when they see that all the brown M&M's are gone b/c that tells them that their contracted was read very closely! haha

Iggy Pop once requested that 7 dwarves be brought back stage . . . hmmmmm

Amy Winehouse actually isn't needy when it comes to backstage, but she does require that her crew stay sober so she can get wasted! Ironic {btw . . this is one of the better pictures I have seen of her . . . }

Jennifer Lopez insists her coffee be stirred counter clockwise {WEIRD, who freakin cares which way it's stirred?!?}

I think I should do a post one day one what I, Lindsey Nabors, would request if I were a celeb and ask all of you the same . . . come one you know if you could, you would request SOMETHING!! Admit it!
