Don’t want to walk, Will Ferrell? Here’s an electric scooter. Don’t like patterned couches, Mariah Carey? Here’s a plain black one instead. After The Smoking Gun released leaked documents of celebrity backstage requests, FIB counts down the top 5 celebrities with the down right craziest demands and beware, they’re crazy.
Beyonce
We can already hear you screaming with rage that the one and only Queen B made it onto this list. Every queen has her needs, even if it is keeping her room a certain temperature and only being able to drink Pepsi, not Coca-Cola. ?
The Demands:
- 1 Large table for catering dressed with white tablecloths.
- Dressing room should be 78 degrees
- 4 Brand New White Towels in bathroom (2 face & 2 body)
Hot Food:
- Juicy Baked Chicken: Legs, Wings & Breast only (Please season with fresh garlic, season salt, black pepper, and Cayenne pepper HEAVILY SEASONED!!)
- Steamed Garlic Broccoli
- Lightly Seasoned Green Beans
- Lightly Seasoned Steamed Spinach
Drinks:
- Beyoncé can only have Pepsi products.
- 1 Case of Aquafina water (half cold, half room temperature)
- 1 Hot Tea Set up (Please have NEW Coffee Pot)
Other:
- Sliced Lemons Wedges
- Rose scented candles
- Lighter for candles
- CD player
Rihanna
Again, RiRi does no wrong so WHY is she on this list? It must take a lot to rule an empire and look that good, so let’s give credit to the organisers who compile everything the way this badass bitch needs. White tulips with no foliage in a square vase coming right up!
The Demands:
- 5 AC power outlets
- Adequate lighting for a ‘relaxed atmosphere’
- White drapes to cover lockers and/or brick
- 1 Humidifier
- 1 Large throw rug — plush and animal print (Cheetah, Leopard) … must be CLEAN, as she will walk on it barefoot.
- Pipe and drape the room in dark blue or black drapes with icy blue chiffon draped nicely on top
- 6 Candles — Archipelago Black Forest (if you can’t get these, please let me know ASAP as we have a 2nd choice of candle for Ri).
- 4 Small, clear, square vases with White Tulips, no foliage (2nd choice: White Casablanca Lilies no foliage, 3rd choice: White Freesia, no foliage)
Justin Bieber
You had to know the same guy that wants meals named after his songs was going to have his backstage demands leaked. But you know what, these demands don’t seem outrageously crazy. Listen, he just wants his clothes to be ironed (we’re assuming!) and some untouched food.
The Demands:
- All rooms must maintain a constant temperature of 68 to 75 degrees.
All on ice:
- 2 Cases of water
- 2 Cases of Coke
- 1 Case Ginger Ale
- 2 Cases Diet Coke
- Professional quality iron and ironing board
- 1 Professional quality steamer
- 1 Vicks steam inhaler
- Food items should be fresh and covered by clear plastic wrap
- Star MUST have a private bathroom
Will Ferrell
Whether you’re a fan of Will Ferrell or not, you’re going to love this. 99% sure that he’s just taking the piss. But part of me wants to know if any organisers have actually gone ahead and delivered the comedian of his unusual requests. I know I would.
The Demands:
- 1 Electric three wheel mobility scooter
- 1 headset microphone (Janet Jackson style)
- 1 flight of stairs on wheels
- 1 fake tree on wheels
- 1 rainbow (can be painted on canvas) on wheels
- Guinness beer
- Smart Water or Fiji Water
- Coke, Diet Coke, 7Up
- Raw roasted almonds
- Protein bars: Peanut butter chocolate Zone Bars, Peanut Butter Power Bars
Can you imagine Will Ferrell screaming down the hall: “CAN SOMEONE GET ME MY FAKE TREE ON WHEELS PLEASE!!!”
Mariah Carey
Don’t worry Mariah, I saved this spot on the list for your diva-ness. Who would have thought that this class act would have a hate for patterned couches and gum with sugar in it? Sigh. Mariah just being Mariah.
