Having outlandish demands is essential for any performer aspiring to diva-dom. And according to rumors, Beyonce is no exception.
The Daily Star is reporting that Beyonce, currently traveling on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, has an impressive list of diva demands as part of her tour rider, the contractual list of conditions performance venues are expected to meet for their artists.
According to the site, the 31-year-old performer has asked for titanium drinking straws that cost around $935, red toilet paper, "hand-carved ice balls to suck on," cotton clothes for her staff, and "freshly painted white walls."
“Working so hard and with the toll the travel takes on her body in addition to the intense shows, she feels that her requests aren’t too much to ask for as she wants to ensure everything goes to plan.” a source said.
E! News reported that a representative of London's O2 Arena said Beyonce has requested the use of brand new dressing rooms for artists, as well as the large space normally reserved for sports teams.
Some gossip bloggers immediately criticized Beyonce's apparently diva-like tour requirements. Perez Hilton called them "wackadoo," while The Stir's Ericka Sóuter wrote, "Beyonce's tour demands reveal what a crazy diva she really is."
Maybe she suffers from bleeding hemorrhoids and doesn’t want to see blood on white toilet paper.
Correct without a production company, they are nothing.
If showing off your “whence we came”, is talent all women would be billionaires.
Helen Thomas too?
Sorry that was uncalled for...I apologize ;)
You subscribe to South American Trannny Review too? I let my sub expire...
Good idea... not.
*Snicker*
and how would the stooopid cow know if the straws were titanium??? feh
That's not so bad if you subscribe to Sheryl Crow's one-square-per-dump ethic.
She does not want the Paparazzi to know her time of the month!
I wouldn’t bet on her “sexuality”
from what little I have seen of these modern “singers” ....
(I do try desperately to tune them OUT),
their “sexuality” can range from one end of the Zoo to the other.
Eh, Streisand needed rose petals in the water to sh*t through, so really anything else is piking. So Beyonce wants titanium straws? Heck, I had titanium hips installed, so she’s just drinking through my a$$.
Let her. She’s mine now.
if old == overexposed, tired to see her everywhere, then yup
if old == physically old, 31 ain’t old.
Oh, most definitely the first meaning.
So the Diva going take an DIE-va, huh!
Watch out, Bouncee!Watch out!!
These are usually ignored by promoters. For instance, colleges won’t provide alcohol
Once they have worn out their welcome with the fans (Through gaffes, demands, poor performances, Bad decisions, etc) they are WORTH MUCH MORE to their handlers as “The Late Great”. Witness the HUGE Surge of Downloads and cd sales immediately after the death of a diva.
I hope I don’t sound TOO cynical.
Hey come on. Whitney would have lasted much much longer had she not hooked up with Boooobeeeey.
