Rihanna's rider revealed

The Smoking Gun website has a brilliant feature where they reveal artists' backstage riders - the food, equipment and furniture they require in their dressing rooms...

They are notoriously particular - Janet Jackson demands an arrangement of tulips, roses, gardenias and lillies; Mariah Carey wants Cristal, champagne flutes and "bendy straws" and Van Halen require celery "to be trimmed, but not peeled".

Others are less fussy - among their many requests Foo Fighters ask for a "deli tray of various cheeses", with accompanying advice: "Dave loves stinky cheese".

This week The Smoking Gun have added Rihanna to their list of rider documents and it's pleasing to note that she falls into the demanding diva camp - none of your ordinary crisps for Ms Fenty, she requires "good quality" Tortilla chips as well as a bag of "fire hot crunchy Cheetos brand cheese doodles", 24 bottles of Fiji water and a professional make-up mirror. Best of all, the rider warns that the venue be prepared because Rihanna may ask for "hard boiled eggs, turkey bacon [or] turkey sausage" at any time.

    I wouldn't givin to there demands, at the end off the day they need you mre than we need them. You think about it, they have to sell themselves, but if somebody turned round and said " sorry no your not getting all the things you requested, then no one would hear there songs and then no one would buy them, simple really, tell them if they dont like it go busking lol

    What demanding about wanting some trimmed celery? Surely it would be MORE demanding to want it peeled?
    I would ask for a troupe of midgets in clown costumes, juggling fiery gerbils.
