Embrace your inner diva. Or not so inner.

September 12, 2007 | Filed under: Stuff

According to TMZ.com, stars have special needs back stage. The VMA’s were no different. Here are some star demands:

Britney Spears gets her crudites, fruit, little sandwiches (NO BACON), margaritas, Red Bull (both reg and sugar free), and lots of flowers, candles and “girly things.”

Fall Out Boy’s gotta have 1 box PB&J Uncrustables, Cool Ranch Doritos, 1 bottle of champagne (not cheap, but not Cristal), Gummi candy, 1 bottle of vodka, 8′x8′ break-dance mat (cardboard is unacceptable).

Fifty Cent wants 6 bottles of Formula 50 Vitamin Water, 1 bucket fried chicken (KFC, Church’s), Twizzlers, Snickers, Jolly Ranchers and KitKats, a hot tea setup .. and No Styrofoam!

Justin Timberlake needs some Grey Goose vodka, Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan rum, Crown Royal, champagne, root beer, two bananas, room temp. Fiji water, vanilla soy milk, cookies (not a lot).


This got me thinking. If I was famous enough to have people catering to my every need, what would my demands be? Hmm … I think go something like this:

Cookies, cookies, and more cookies. (All kinds, I’m not picky, nor do I discriminate. If it’s a cookie, I will eat it. Unfortunately.)

So what about you? What would your demands be?

    To have the power to give such demands *g* I’m thinking….1 bottle of raspberry apple Glaceau vitamin water, a large vanilla iced coffee from McD’s, and a bowl of chocolate mousse being fed to me by two very sexy bodyguards with Scottish accents while being given an hour-long massage. See, my needs are rather simple.

  2. Stacy S says:

    Cheesecake brownies.

  3. Judy F says:

    any kind of dark chocolate. a full on body massage. cookies work for me too

  4. Suzy says:

    Rescue (green tea) Vitamin Water, Fiji water, Burger King french fries, curly fries, Ben & Jerry Cherry Garcia.

  5. yelhsa says:

    WOW! It really surprises me that stars request such unhealthy foods and drinks. Since they are so image/body conscious you would think they would want healthier things.

    It cracks me up that 50 cent orders 6 bottles of formula 50 Vitamin Water. Why does he need that many? Its essentially just sugar water–125 calories and 33 grams of sugar per bottle….why not just take a multivitamin? Well, at least it shows stars are human like the rest of us.

    If it were me, I would request frozen yogurt, chips and queso and a Starbucks Frappuccino.

  6. Laurie says:

    I would have to have a steady supply of Melon Propel and Diet Coke, an assortment of Hostess products and/or Starbucks chocolate covered graham crackers, and some crispy Red Delicious apples (sliced please, but not peeled)and fat free caramel dip (hey, you have to counter those Hostess/Starbucks calories where you can).

  7. Margaret McDonagh says:

    A fridge stuffed to capacity with Innocent fruit smoothies – assorted flavours but especially cranberies & raspberries, mangoes & passion fruit, blackberries & blueberries, the Vit C mix and the Breakfast smoothie. A selection of Hotel Chocolat treats, especially a big box of Exuberantly Fruity. And a couple of guys off my hero list in real life would be an added bonus!!!! :bananadance:

    Love,
    Mags

  8. Ellen says:

    I don’t know who Fall Out Boy is, but it looks like he downs champagne and then a bottle of vodka before break-dancing. :shock: And Justin…WOW..LOL.

    I’m with Stacy – I’d love a massage. And chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

  9. Alice Audrey says:

    I’d like a big bottle of water and a bathroom. When I’m nervous I drink. Then it’s got to go somewhere. :relieved:

  10. Christa says:

    It’s weird that 50 Cent would request water and Justin would request all that booze. 50 Cent has this reputation of being a bada@@

  11. Susan says:

    I’d insist on a basket of everyone of your books. :thumbsup: They can keep their food and drinks!

  12. naomi says:

    Mocha Frappucinos, hot chocolate (made with real chocolate and milk), some fruit like berries, apples, pears, mango and dipping chocolate. Water – I’m not fussy as long as it tastes good and is cold. Iced spearmint tea and stevia to sweeten it. Roger’s or Purdy’s chocolate (from Victoria, BC), or in a pinch, Godiva.

    Oh, and popovers fresh from the oven with sweet honey butter. Yummmmmy. I have simple tastes.

  13. Christie says:

    I would go with fountain Pepsi and vanilla syrup with lots of ice and to eat – frosting. Maybe I’d need a treadmill to work off all the sugar and caffiene. :???:

  14. Allie says:

    I would require grape Kool-Aid, cheese pizza, and a pineapple/banana/orange juice smoothie. Or maybe a peanut butter/banana smoothie. I would also need some peanut brittle. And some sweat peas in a vase. The really fragrant ones. I just love those.

  15. kim h says:

    CHERRY pepsi, beef jerky, chips sundflower seeds, cornuts. a massage every hour and a hot man to look at lol. flowers , books andmagazines, cheesecake enough for my posse lol.

  16. srah says:

    I’ve seen some of these riders on The Smoking Gun and they always seem to be so obsessed with brand names. I think that if I were on tour for a long time I would get tired of the same thing over and over, so I would want them to bring me whatever the regional specialty is. And some crudités. :)

  17. Bailey Stewart says:

    Yellow roses, Mt. Dew, Coke, peanut butter cups, sausage pizza, double stuffed oreos and milk. And Hugh Jackman.

  18. Estella says:

    Diet Pepsi, jelly beans and Doritos.

  19. Lis says:

    Let’s see, I’d need 6 cans of chilled Dr. Pepper; 6 cans chilled coca-cola (not diet), 1 box of old dutch bbq chips and/or salt and vinegar. Bag of real gummy bears. Bag of peanut m&ms, and a mini fridge stocked with bottled water, frozen orange juice and frozen chocolate yogurt. oh and mini snickers and wonderbar bars, because they rock! :bananadance:

  20. Lynn Daniels says:

    If it’s just snacks, then it’d have to be jelly beans; Coke Zero, Diet Mt. Dew, or Diet Dr. Pepper; and tiramisu. And I guess some water to make it look like I was at least *trying* to be healthy — plain and lemon flavored.

    I wonder how much of that stuff they actually got and how much was negotiated off.

  21. jeanne says:

    Black coffee freshly ground from Hawaii, Hazelnut; Activia yogurt; doughnuts; Asagio and a fresh baguette; fresh fruit; cabarnet savignon and dark chocolate. :mrgreen:

  22. Donna M says:

    Depending on the time of day- – - a Mocha or a Mocha Frappucino, several bottles of cold water, some high quality brownies, breakfast, lunch or dinner, a massage after the show & a really hunky man to take care of me!!!!! :bananadance:

  23. Serena says:

    I imagine the goodies are also for their entourage. Imagine if Justin Timberlake really just wanted a glass of soy milk and a cookie and his assistant and pals wanted all the booze and suddenly the headlines read “Timberlake is a booze hound!” :)

    I would want a can of Mountain Dew (not a plastic bottle).

    -Serena

  24. Brandy says:

    Diet Dr.Pepper, Dasani Lemon Water and that’s about it. *g*

  25. Dru says:

    I would want raspberry lemonade, fresh platter of fruits (melons, grapes, oranges), a single serving pack of twizzler, and plenty of Poland Spring water.

  26. Elizabeth K says:

    Fall Out Boy? Like, what, he survived a nuclear blast?

    I’m trying to envision 50 cent drinking tea, with his pinky out and everything. :thumbsup:

  27. april says:

    First, Fifty Cent is given endorsement money from Vitamin Water which is probably why he requests it. As for the amount of food/drink, I’m sure it’s for the artist and his or her entourage. Fall Out Boy is a band. I’m surprised they weren’t loaded with the alcohol as I’d have to be drunk to perform as they do. They probably need the poor food and sugar just to maintain the amount of energy needed for such a night. Justin was obviously drunk through the entire awards show. He, and others, probably worked off the calories by sweating and performing and going non-stop in Vegas all night. This year’s awards were different. Most of the awards and performances were done in private suites on top of a formal stage setting. It was very odd and just proved that I’m not really hip. To see all the performances and such, you had to log onto the computer.

    That said, I’m sure my list would be a bunch of treats. I can buy healthy stuff on my own. A lot of the green room lists are just to make sure people jump when you say jump, not to actually use or consume everything like M&Ms but having someone pick out a certain color. I think I’d want more services like a manicurist, masseuse, stuff like that.

  28. Celise says:

    Wow. Justin had a lot of alcohol back there! Although he probably wasn’t drinking it. At least, not all of it. This is a fun question and I’m glad you asked:

    ~ A stack of romance books (especially the current Harlequin Blaze)

    ~ Bacon Waffles from my favorite place, The Original Pancake House

    ~ Ice cold bottled water: Evian, Fiji or Voss

    ~ Hot chocolate (if it was cold)

  29. Shelly says:

    I’ll just have Justin thank you. We’ll be too busy to eat or drink so no need stocking up. :heart: :wigglebrow:

  30. Jemima says:

    Wow, what an excellent question!

    hmmm…2 bottles San Pellegrino water, Humvoldt Fog cheese, Mahon or Manchego cheese, cracked pepper tablewater crackers, green tea, Cadbury Crunchie bars, Kinder eggs, coconut milk ice cream and lavender aromatherapy candles. And George Clooney in a loincloth.

  31. Morgan says:

    I actually work for a television studio where we do press tours. I know from personal experience that the stars never, never, never put together their own lists of “wants”. The publicist or assistant(s) are the ones sending these crazy demands and most of the time the celebrities don’t even look twice at what is in the green room much less get around to eating/drinking any of it.

    That being said, I will take a box of frosted twinkies and room temperature Aquafina please.

  32. kris says:

    chocolate mint ice cream, oreos, chocolate, a two liter of ginger ale and lots of bottled water and a toothbrush and toothpaste.

  33. Melissa says:

    The only thing I would request is to share Justin Timberlake’s room. Prime opportunity to do my evil bidding. :love:

    And the only reason 50 Cent likes 50 Vitamin water is because he use to own it before he sold it to Coca Cola for millions of dollars. I’d be fond of it too.

  34. Mary says:

    I think I could hang out with Fall Out Boy, actually.

    Lessee….Diet Coke with Lime, peanut butter M&Ms…maybe Ding Dongs. :thumbsup:
