Top 10 Most Outrageous Diva Demands

by Lindsay Dreyer
04 May 2013

Although Beyonce tried to put a positive spin on the word diva — the "female version of a hustler," according to her 2009 hit song — most people don't think too highly of these A-list ladies. Don't get us wrong: We're all about strong, independent women taking charge and changing the world, but the following stars have a tendency to go a bit overboard (ahem, Mariah Carey).

Here are some of showbiz's most notorious divas and their craziest divalicous demands. One thing is clear: Divas love them some white roses!

Mariah Carey

We wouldn't be surprised if we looked up "diva" in the dictionary and saw a picture of Mariah Carey. While the Grammy-winning singer certainly has the pipes and resume to back up the title — she holds the record for most no. 1 singles by a female recording artist — does her Billboard status justify her outrageous demands?

According to her contract rider obtained by The Smoking Gun, she's been known to demand chilled Cristal, two dozen white roses, and dark-colored couches without busy patterns for her dressing room.

Of course, that's nothing compared to her rumored 2009 demand for 20 white kittens and 100 white doves to be released while she turned on Christmas lights at Westfield London Shopping Centre. The demand could not be met due to health hazards, but Westfield was able to accommodate her request to roll out the pink carpet for her and then shower the crowd with pink and white butterfly-shaped confetti. Did she learn nothing from Glitter?

Madonna

Madonna is the Queen of Pop, so it's only fitting that she would demand her very own throne while on tour. According to the Daily Mail, Madge requires a brand new toilet seat at every show, in addition to dozens of white roses and candles to protect from "negative glances and mean-spiritedness."

Perhaps even more shocking is Madonna's request to ban air conditioning in every venue to protect her vocal chords. Fans who flocked to see her Confessions World Tour in London in 2006 began fainting as temps inside the arena hit the 90-degree mark. The British health and safety council had no choice but to overrule her diva demand and flip the A/C back on.

But that's nothing compared to the backlash Madonna received after her latest incident when she mouthed off about a bouquet of flowers given to her by a fan. In case you didn't know, she absolutely loathes hydrangeas.

Christina Aguilera

During her heyday, Christina Aguilera's contract rider was a little bizarre, but not too over-the-top — the singer demanded items like Flintstones vitamins, Oreo cookies, and soy cheese. Oh wait, we must have missed the part demanding a police escort to route Xtina's car through any potential traffic delays. Because, obviously, no diva should have to endure the utter agony of a red light.

These days, Christina is much more concerned with how she looks on camera. According to Perez Hilton, The Voice judge demands to watch the playback of every single scene she's in and will make the crew reshoot them if she thinks she looks fat.

Lady Gaga

Thanks to a lawsuit filed by Lady Gaga’s former assistant Jennifer O’Neill, the pop megastar’s backstage requests for her 2010 Monster’s Ball World Tour are out there — and boy are they out there.

From “a mannequin with puffy pink pubic hair” to 28 bottles of water at room temperature and 28 cold, Mother Monster’s requests (via Celebuzz) run the gamut from totally bizarre to oddly specific.

But what else can you expect from someone who looks at raw meat and sees formal wear?

Kris Jenner

Kris Jenner tried to play the celebrity card recently to bypass ordinary people — you know, us mere commoners — while waiting in line for an iPhone 5 at an Apple Store in Los Angeles, reports Radar Online.

First she called the store to ask for five iPhones to be set aside for an assistant to pick up. When the employees refused — saying that no one, no matter how famous, receives preferential treatment — she demanded to talk to the managers. (We can only imagine the phrase “Don’t you know who I am?” was uttered in this conversation.)

Rebuffed by the managers as well, the 57-year-old Kardashian matriarch sent her assistant on the fool’s errand anyway. Guards keeping order among the throngs of Apple devotees simply told the gofer to get in line.

Beyonce

While Beyonce's camp denies them, rumors have been flying about Beyonce's rider for her Mrs. Carter Tour. A source apparently told the Daily Star about an alleged list of demands (via HuffPo) from Queen Bey, including:

All crew members have to wear 100% cotton.
Alkaline water must be chilled to 21 degrees and served with $900 titanium straws.
Bathrooms must have new toilet seats and red toilet paper at every venue.
Hand-carved ice balls should be made after each show to cool her throat.

It's entirely possible that these demands could be made-up; the rumor mill also said that she demanded a $1 million nursery for her daughter Blue Ivy and $6,000 worth of imported cigars and alcohol for Jay-Z at the Super Bowl, but those claims turned out to be false.

Beyonce did, however, ban press photographers from the tour to keep unflattering photos at bay, and E! did confirm that, as the source alleged, she's using a huge dressing room meant to accommodate a whole sports team in addition to the newly-refurbished one intended for a solo star.
