Ten Most Bizzare Backstage Demands By Celebrities

All of us think that celebrities are these high profile out of this world people with amazingly posh life styles. We idealize their ultra modern homes and their world tours which sound larger than life. Have you ever wondered what life backstage might be like? These celebrities always keep whining about the long hours at the shooting sights, lack of proper food, sleep deprivation while working and what not. Well surely none of us dream of living endless days being short of sleep with pebbles to eat and the floor to sleep on. Read on to find out some of the most outrageous back stage demands that celebrities have these day and never again would you believe a word coming out of their pretty faces about woes of the backstage.

10. COOL J
Ladies Love Cool James!! Cool J? Sounds familiar? He is an entrepreneur actor from Bay shore, New York pretty famous for pioneering hip-hop such as “I can’t live without my radio” and “Mama said knock you out”. He has appeared on many films and currently stars as NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna on the CBS crime drama television series NCIS: Los Angeles. Any guesses for what his backstage demands are? Well let us add to your knowledge. Get this, the star wants 24 long stemmed roses and small (yeah small!!) bottle of Johnson & Johnson baby oil and his game is on, as in literally. And that is so not all. He has food days so if its Tuesday its only Spaghetti, Wednesdays only beef, and Tex-Mex Thursdays.. Well Hurrah to that!! Not something to whine about now is it!!

9. CHER
We have all heard about and seen just about enough of Cherilyn Sarkisian more commonly known to the normal human beings- uh no pun intended- as CHER. And true the recent film Burlesque was quite amazing (BOWS!) but talk about being over-whelmed. And that is exactly what you will be once you read what she demands on set. Ready? A Wig-Room… yes yes, a dedicated room for Cher’s hair.  Sure we have heard a room dedicated to shoes (we are all familiar with every girls obsession for shoes) and yes all of us have wardrobes (a room like structure dedicated to clothes) but WIGS? A room full of Hair? Now that is gross! But then again, it’s Cher … you couldn’t expect lesser.

8. EMINEM
Eminem was the first white rapper since the beastie boys and he has earned a lot of respect for himself in the music world. But apparently the fame has gotten to the head because Eminem is another celebrity in the long list of the rich and famous who have crazy backstage demands. Backstage, Eminem wants a play station with joysticks and motion sensors, a huge flat-screen television, and a personal masseur. Other than that he demands a ping pong table and every delicacy of fast food available on the planet. Talk about being a baby!

7. MARIAH CAREY
She is a very famous American song writer, singer, record producer, and even an actress and much of you will be surprised to find out that she has a bit of the Irish in her. Amazing no? Well she is as diverse in her backstage demands as she is in her professional career. Her demands include that the hotel puts in gold faucets in her washroom, she has her own bed linens delivered to her hotel a day before she arrives. And no that is not all, she requests that only her DVDs and CDs be played on the TV in her hotel room and to top it all, she and her little pup bathe only in the finest mineral water from France and nothing else would do!

6. JENNIFER LOPEZ
Jennifer Lopez is very famous for hour glass physique and her super awesome songs. She knows how to dance, she knows how to sing, she acts well and she looks hot! In one of her latest songs “on the floor” she is just ravishing. Looking at her on the screen one can never guess that she can be a stuck-up blondie when it comes to back stage requirements. Well be all ears people because here is what she requires: she needs her suite to be completely painted in white, there should be white lilies and white candles, and the room should be scented with a particular perfume from Paris called Diptyque. The best part is that she needs her bedsheets to be of Egyptian cotton with the thread count of at least 250. The room temperature needs to be set at 25.5 degree Celsius EXACTLY! That is high maintenance we say!

5. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
We just saw him in the movie ” Friends with Benefits” with Mila Kunis. Commonly agreed he looked totally cute and completely hot at the same time. We have also seen him on the ramp of the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows singing his stuff while the models strut around. Now would you believe that whenever Justin Timberlake is on set he needs the complete hotel floor to himself and it should include a personal fitness studio, a huge stereo, Nintendo, and Play Station, the handles on the door must all be disinfected, and the AC filters need to be changed. It does sound completely unbelievable but true.

4. PRINCE
He has written more than a 1000 songs and women throw them selves at him. But we are sure that once they know that he requires a physician at hand backstage to administer him with Vitamin b12 shots at all times and regular intervals they won’t be as eager. How weird is that?

3. BRITNEY SPEARS
There was a time when the song “Baby one more time” hit the market and Britney, this cute little angel faced teenage became the talk of the town. And then there came a time when apparently Britney lost it completely. News regarding her rock-bottom relationships, her rehab time, and the time when she went to jail for abusing her driver were surfacing every where. Her backstage demands might be a part of this as well because she demands a separate private phone line in her dressing room and threatens to sue the director if the phone number leaks out or if someone calls her on that phone. Wow!

2. JOHNNY DEPP
Okay so we have heard a lot about that fact that Johnny Depp is another one of those celebrities that only shower once they smell their own bad odor and it grossed us out. We cannot help but wonder that the fact that he requires his hotel suite or dressing room covered in Morrocon drapes, and filled with candles and water pipes is perhaps to give him an alternative illusion of cleanliness. Funny thought, ain’t it?

1. VAN HALEN
Van Halen are probably the only ones with a solid excuse for a random and weird request in their backstage demand that is to have a huge bowl of M n M’s but there should be no brown ones. And the excuse they claim to put forth is that they just want to be re-assured that the organizers have actually gone to the trouble of reading through their requests. Very cheesy we must say!
