Stars' Most Insane Demands

Don't be surprised when Independence Day 2 is missing its hero from the original — according to reports, Will Smith won't be making an appearance in the sequel to the 1996 film. The reason? Smith wanted a total of $50 million dollars to appear in the film. But Smith isn't the only celebrity who uses their status as a superstar to demand outrageous things. Here's a list of other celebrities with crazy demands.

Kanye West

Is it at all surprising that the rapper is a high-maintenance dude? According to reports, the rapper demands "new, recut Versace towels" in every dressing room, and for his staff to wear 100 percent cotton.

Prince

The "Purple Rain" singer insists that all the furniture and items in his dressing rooms be covered in plastic wrap before he arrives.

Madonna

The Material Girl doesn't have too many demands... she just insists that each dressing room she is in has 20 international phone lines. (This confirms my theory that Madonna is actually an international spy — just look at all her outfits!)

Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson reportedly requests a "bald hooker with no teeth" to join him backstage (seemingly, as a joke). That's almost as terrifying as, well, Marilyn Manson in general.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez may consider herself to be just a regular "Jenny from the block," but, still, she's reportedly asked for only-white food in her dressing room... and for her coffee to be stirred counter-clockwise.

David Hasselhoff

Sometimes spending time with yourself is a good thing. Which is why David Hasselhoff reportedly insists on a life-sized cut-out of himself in his dressing room.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears reportedly demands a $5,000 fine from each venue if the phone rings in her dressing room. Madonna better not be calling her girl Britney from one of those international phone lines.

Eminem

You know rappers... they're seriously tough guys. Which is why Eminem reportedly asked for a wooden fish tank filled with koi backstage at one of his shows.
