What's the point of being a celebrity if you can't make a few fun dressing room requests here and there? But while some musicians stick to asking for their favorite brand of cereal backstage, or aromatherapy candles to keep them calm before a concert, other stars go waaaaay out of bounds with their ridiculous demands. After scouring tour riders (the documents celebrities put together before tours and appearances listing their requests), we found the musical acts with the most outlandish diva demands. Check them out in the gallery below!

My best friend has announced her wedding with a millionaire young man. They met via ＲｉｃｈＬｏｖｅｓＣ0Ｍ....it's where for meeting successful rich men & classy mature women, who are searching for their special someone. It's worth a try!

Yeah, that's all good for a laugh. But most of those aren't that bad. There's another 30 to 100 pages of contract that goes with that, covering the special lighting and sound and ticket sale conditions that each artist wants. Or needs or requires.

I read Van Halen or his manager or something explain that the bit about the M&Ms was to easily check if everything else in the whole contract was set up correctly.

these invented "stars" buy into the b.s. and really think they are all that. cher is the poster child for screwed up. as a screamintg liberal instead of demanding special favors she should be "sharing the wigs" .. shameful that she used Sonny's death to resurrect her career. ... parasite and despicable.

Cher needs a lot more than a room big enough for her wigs. I will say no more. I am not a fan of hers. I never was and the way she treated Sonny, I never will be, in addition to her mediocre talent.
