Celebrity Whims: Incredible Riders

One of the main conditions that producers of films with the participation of Kevin Spacey must comply with is the presence of a tennis table on the set. The actor keeps fit by playing table tennis between takes. And the singer Prince demands that vitamin B12 be in his dressing room. And these are not the most amazing celebrity whims: sometimes riders - lists of requirements presented by artists to tour organizers - have very strange points …

J. Lo

Jennifer Lopez has never been modest. Her list of demands terrifies all concert organizers. While in Monaco, the singer ordered diamond-encrusted headphones, a personal masseur, a yacht with a champagne fridge and a section of the beach reserved for private use. When J. Lo came to Moscow, her list of requirements included a huge number of household appliances, including a microwave, toaster and heaters (this is June!), As well as a personal toilet in the dressing room with a new toilet seat covered with faux leather. But the funniest thing about her rider is the color scheme of the environment, which is negotiated separately each time.

Thus, the Moscow organizers were forced to equip Jennifer's hotel room with exclusively black and white furniture and appliances. The bed sheets in the pop diva's room should only be Egyptian cotton.

Jay Z and Beyoncé

This pair also amazes the organizers with their requests. Jay Z will not tour unless silver cutlery, hand sanitizer, 4 bottles of vodka and tequila, Sassicaia Italian red wine, sugar free Red Bull, pulp free orange juice, organic bread and honey are provided in his suite … But Beyoncé surpassed her husband: before her arrival in Moscow, the singer demanded ten identical tinted "Mercedes" of a representative class: so that journalists could not figure out which of them she was traveling in the city. As for food, Beyoncé's table must have included Chilean perch with olives and Dover flounder with lemon sauce, served on an oriental dish.

But her most original quirk turned out to be numerous flower arrangements of white tulips … with removed stamens.

Robby Williams

This eccentric has suffered more than once because of his whims: not so long ago, his concert in Germany was canceled. The organizers of the performance simply could not fulfill all his requirements. And this is not surprising: when it comes to the rider, Robbie sometimes displays an inappropriate sense of humor. For example, once he demanded a live monkey in his room. And this is in addition to a photograph of British TV presenter Bob Holness, a Japanese bonsai tree, four ashtrays in the dressing room, two fire extinguishers and an odor absorber for the stage - things without which Robbie refuses to work any concert. On top of that, Williams is neat: he insists that the toilet seats are changed every time he visits the toilet.

The artist also needs televisions in all rooms so that he can watch sports and music channels.

Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson

Marilyn - a real guru among eccentrics. His rider is very strange. Firstly, in the dressing room, the artist requires a cat toilet - in case he is "impatient". Secondly, the artist will not go on stage if he does not eat a handful of Haribo gummy bears, some popcorn and chips before the performance. Third, all food and appliances in his dressing room must be refrigerated. By the way, the temperature issue seriously worries the singer: according to the conditions of the rider, in the buses on which Marilyn and his musicians are transported, for some reason there must be about 20 kg of pure ice in cubes.

In the artist's hotel room, it must be very cold: perhaps this is necessary in order not to "drip" the abundant makeup of Menson. In food, the artist is unpretentious: the list of his preferred products is quite standard.

Patricia Kaas

Patricia Kaas

Whose rider surprised you?

	J. Lo. Headphones with diamonds, just think!
	Jay Z and Beyoncé. Silverware and 10 Mercedes are impressive.
	Robby Williams. Monkey okay, but a picture of a TV presenter?..
	Marilyn Manson with his cat litter.
	Patricia Kaas. What an ardent love for a dog.
	Mariah Carey. Everything about her rider is “fine”, she is the most capricious of all.
	I can't even choose …

The most surprising condition of the rider of Patricia is a separate seat on the plane for the beloved lapdog of the singer. A dog named Tequila is a terribly pretentious creature in general: an animal, for example, eats only premium veal. The tastes of the singer herself are extremely unpredictable, so after the concert she is served backstage with a six-course dinner of her choice - who knows what she will want to try on this or that evening? Also, the dressing room should have 40 kg of ice for cooling drinks, 3 bottles of mineral water, 6 cans of beer, orange juice, cola, a liter of milk and half a liter of cream.

Separate requirements for the singer for the lighting of the dressing room: the lamps should be very bright, but in no case neon.

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey

Curvy beauty Mariah Carey is one of the most moody stars in the world. Several bottles of champagne, worth 1.5 thousand dollars, contributed to her rider, are just flowers. And the berries include: installation of a new toilet bowl, bidet and sink in the hotel room and dressing room for the singer's arrival; plumbing with gold taps and handles; the presence in the room of new soft toys, 200 towels, vases with fresh flowers and many rose petals scattered on the floor and bed. The singer also loves to take a bath … with mineral water. At the same time, for her dog, she requires a separate bathroom, of course, filled with the same mineral water.

And the most interesting requirement of the star is the presence of a special person behind the scenes, to whom she gives the chewing gum before going on stage.
