"Just because I wanted to be silly........"
 
   Below are the top 5 lists of celebrity hotel and/or tour demands. Makes us all feel a bit more well-adjusted, doesn't it?


The final top 5 in full:

1.) Mariah Carey

· Hotel bathroom suites must be fitted with gold faucets
· A new toilet seat must be installed prior to arrival
· Mariah’s own bed linen is delivered in advance
· Both Mariah and her dog only bathe in mineral water.
· Puppies and kittens must be on hand to keep the star entertained.
· An assistant must be on hand to take care of Mariah’s used chewing gum prior to shows.

2.) Jennifer Lopez

· Hotel sheets must be Egyptian cotton with a thread count of at least 250.
· Hotel rooms must contain two humidifiers and two oscillating fans to achieve the preferred room temperature of 26°C.
· White or red roses or white lilies are J-Lo’s flowers of choice.
· Jennifer’s coffee must be stirred anti-clockwise.
· Lopez’s path must reportedly be sprayed with the scent of gardenia before public appearances.
· The diva has previously requested a white hotel room with white flowers, white tables and tablecloths, white drapes, white candles and white couches.

3.) Prince In advance of his stay at the Dorchester in 2007, Prince demanded:

· that everything in his room be black, from the walls to the furniture, curtains and carpet.
· a black M&M’s machine and an oxygen bar for his entourage.
· As a general rule, all items in Prince’s dressing room must be wrapped in clear plastic film to be unwrapped by the artist on his arrival.

4.) Britney Spears In advance of her trip to the UK for the London leg of her Circus tour earlier this year, Britney issued a number of demands to the Dorchester hotel where she would be staying. She requested:

· a room that had never been smoked in
· several humidifiers
· that the room be lit with 100 watt light bulbs and contain fresh flowers
· that magazines, chick-lit novels and Marilyn Monroe movies be provided

5.) Van Halen

· The rider that started them all, making it OK for stars to be demanding: in the 53 page rider for their World Tour in 1982, Van Halen famously requested a bowl of M&M’s. With all the brown ones picked out.

Okay, I just have to say that Mariah isn't too bad. Heck, if I could I would have them change the toilet seats at hotels too! I can also understand wanting to have you own sheets.

LOL that is too funny (or sad in some cases). The funniest part was Van Halen. I just know my DD requested those brown M&Ms. Those are her favorite. I am so glad I am not high maintenance.

   You know, I gotta go with Britney on the room never having been smoked in. If I were traveling for a good part of a year, I would want certain amenities. When I'm working at a trial site out of town in the winter, I get a humidifier for my room. It cuts down on sinus problems and I stay a lot healthier.

It was initially reported that JLo's diva demands are what made the American Idol producers to nix her as a judge. Her response to that was to post a pic on Twitter of a jewelry box spilling over with jewels and a tweet "Hmmmm, what should I wear today?"

But taking baths in mineral water... bah! That does remind me of stories I read about Hollywood-When-Was-Hollywood Stars like Marilyn Monroe, etc. who took milk baths.

   I never liked Britney spears before, but her demands seemed far more reasonable than anyone else's.

Why would Britney want a room that has never been smoked in? She smokes herself! Does she want to christen it?

   I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who was disturbed that I most closely identified with Britney Spears...

I hereby demand that at all future Seppie meets, no one will be allowed to have cuter shoes and/or toenails than I do for the Seppie shoe shot.

Sorry, just letting my inner diva out to play.

   The Van Halen story is that they included that clause only to see if people were actually reading the contract.

As for much of the rest... Very funny, but probably not true.

As for me... I think the puppy/kitten to entertain is a nice touch.

   I always wondered who the famous scene from This Is Spinal Tap was modelled after, and the Van Halen story now answer's that question. Very funny, and if they did it for the reason SEP said, then very clever, too.
