Your Diva demands??.

From Adeles modest 5 page list, to Katie Perrys exacting 45 page list, stars have always requested special items for them and their dressing rooms.
If you were a world famous pop star, what 'diva' type demands would you have in your gigs contract?.

Some of mine would be:
'Fish cake and chips from a proper fish and chip shop, with tomato sauce, salt and vinegar, provided in separate containers, the food to be provided in its original paper wrapping'.
and
'Ice lollys, pack of eight, frozen using freshly squeezed real orange juice.'
"A picture of Kate Beckinsale as she appeared in the film 'Underworld' on the dressing room wall.


What demands would you make?.

Nothing too demanding but:

*Air con would be a must or I wouldn't use the dressing room
*An Xbox 360 console
*A selection of the best toiletries including nice aftershave, moisturiser, etc.
*A mini bar which includes Heineken on tap.
*A 52" tv with surround sound.
*A box of Barrys Tea.
*30 extra "mini" dressing rooms for my entourage and groupies.
*Retro arcade games
*Pool table
*Jukebox
*Jacuzzi
*Plenty of lube and other sex supplies
*King-size bed with nice plump pillows

. 20 B&H Silver whenever I need.
. Trolley of assorted Alcohol, always to be kept well stocked before/after shows.
. HUGE buffet full of healthy food, I need to make up for all the smoking and drinking.
. A room full of male escorts on stand-by at all times.
. A Laptop with a good Internet access so I can use Twitter, Facebook, check to read any stories about myself on Digital Spy :P
. A Car on stand-by to take me shopping when I want to go.
. A portable recording studio because I want to make my next album on the road, around the world.
. In my dressing room I must ALWAYS have chilled water, a big comfy sofa, a hot tub and most importantly, TAKE THAT F****** NO SMOKING SIGN DOWN!!!!

I'm easily pleased.

I never understood these celebrities who make outrageous demands. Surely if you are in it for the love of the music then all you would need is a room to change in and a shower.

Every artist will claim they are in it for the love of the music because who will admit to being in it for the fame/money/chicks?

There's a difference between what they may claim and the reality though as you point out. I should think there are very few people either way who when asked what they would like in their dressing room would just say 'nothing'.

1. The room must have a dimmer switch.
2. Strawberry flavoured pop tarts.
3. CD player.
4. Large floor fan
5. Budweiser on ice
6. Coca Cola, Vimto, orange juice, water - all to be kept
refrigerated.
7. A range of sandwiches on white and wholemeal bread.
8. Chicken breasts and french fries
9. Fresh salad, fresh prawns, thousand island sauce
10. Various doritos and dip
11. TV and DVD with specified DVDs
12. Condoms
13. 2 large couches
14. Haribo kiddie's mix.
15. A platter of fresh fruit (no pineapple or peach)

Then I would put something completely random to see if they actually met it. Something like:

A midget dressed in a toga with a bowl of skittles to hand out while speaking in a irish accent. Absolutely no red skittles.

Wow! I'm shocked! I wouldn't demand half of these things!

If I was a singer I'd literally only ask that there was a room temperature bottle of water in my dressing room, anything else I want I'd get myself!

I would say that I wouldn't have any diva demands but I guess fame changes you. OK, I'd have an HD TV, laptop, KFC, fish and chips and a large tub of Pick'n'Mix sweets. Yes, a large deal of my luxuries are food-related!

My favourite suggestion. So diva-ish!

I think looking at it, my diva demands would just be a ready supply of wine, lager and spirits and cigarette's.

I'd also demand that all food served to ALL staff, band members, roadies, whoever is vegetarian.

No, and I wouldn't request fans to be served only vegetarian food at the venue, but people who chose to work for me also chose to follow my approach to food whilst they are doing paid work for me.
