18 Diva-Like Celebrity Demands From the Understandable to the Insane

Rumor has it that Grande will only allow photographers to snap pics from the left side of her face.

Even one of the most iconic actors of our time can dip into diva territory.

The Taxi Driver actor has a very specific request for any place that is looking to satisfy his thirst. According to Metro, here’s how to make De Niro a drink:

“The bartender should muddle a cucumber in the shaker and then mix with ice and gin. He or she should then SHAKE like crazy, an extra 30-45 seconds past the way they teach you in bartending school, so that little frothy chips form. No vermouth necessary.”

Yikes.

Carey has a reputation for being one of the most demanding stars in Hollywood, and for good reason.

According to the Daily Mail, Carey insists on having no fewer than 11 bodyguards surrounding her at restaurants so patrons cannot see her eat. She’s also known for keeping over 20 humidifiers in her bedroom so she can sleep in rainforest-like conditions.

West has a very specific request for his chauffeurs.

West insists that anyone who drives him wear no man-made fibers. Because West is just real classy like that.

Lady Gaga has requested this very odd item in her dressing room.

Lady Gaga’s rider has included a mannequin with fluffy pink pubic hair. Hey, a girl wants what she wants.

The Unbroken director allegedly refused to make a movie until the studio gave her this perk.

According to VH1, Jolie wanted the studio in question to pay for flying lessons for her now-hubby Brad Pitt. (Because Brangelina couldn’t afford that on their own?)

Hey, you know that guy who played Screech on Saved By The Bell? He has just one tiny request.

Specifically, don’t you dare mention Saved By The Bell. Diamond’s “people” have threatened to fine any venue for mentions of Diamond’s time on the sitcom, despite the fact that, without the sitcom, no one would have any idea who the pseudo-celeb actually is.

You can put this diva on the list of people you definitely don’t want making a cameo in your movie.

According to reports, the heiress/sometimes actress insisted on having five prepared lobsters and a bottle of Grey Goose vodka on the set of the 2010 comedy The Other Guys. She was filming for exactly one day.

The “Part Of Me” singer may seem friendly… but that’s only because you’re not driving her around.

According to The Smoking Gun, Perry has strict guidelines for the folks lucky enough to tote her around. She allegedly refuses to let her chauffeurs talk to her while they drive and forbids them from staring at her in the rearview mirror.

It looks like “Jenny From the Block” might not be so low-maintenance after all.

According to reports, Lopez insists that everything in her dressing room be completely white. (But what about spills?!)

Manson has very specific requests when it comes to the people he pays for sex backstage.

What does the shock rocker like to have backstage at his performances? Just a bald, toothless hooker. NBD.

The “Family Affair” singer doesn’t want her butt where your butt has been. She reportedly insists on having any venue she performs in install a brand new toilet seat for her use.

Timberlake may be called a diva for this, but he’s truly just a germaphobe.

According to reports, Timberlake has his staff wipe down every door knob he comes across before he touches them.

The band has a very specific reason for their demands — but that doesn’t make them any less weird.

Van Halen wants two things: a bowl of M&Ms without any brown ones mixed in and a large tube of K-Y Jelly. The reasoning behind the M&Ms is allegedly to make sure the venue staff has read their entire rider — it’s essentially a way for the band to make sure they’re on top of their game for the more significant stuff. But the K-Y Jelly? Well, use your imagination.

It seems like Prince wants everyday to be like Christmas — as in, he really likes unwrapping stuff.

According to reports, Prince insists on having everything in his dressing room be cleaned and wrapped in plastic until the “Purple Rain” singer chooses to remove it.

Streisand just wants the simple things in life, like fresh cut flowers.

Er, sort of. VH1 reports that the Guilt Trip actress has requested that hotel staff place rose petals in her room’s toilet bowl.

It’s expensive for a phone to ring near the “Oops! I Did It Again” singer.

According to Spears’ rider, the singer will fine the venue five grand if a phone rings in her dressing room.

The “I Believe” singer requests a room specifically for these accessories.

Cher’s big request? A backstage room for all of her wigs whenever she’s performing.
