Celebrities are notorious for putting crazy things in their backstage riders just to be sure that someone is actually reading them. Van Halen started this trend back in the day by asking for bowls full of green M&M’s. And remember this was back before you could go to Mymms.com and have custom orders made. Some schmuck had to actually open 100 bags of M&M’s and pick out all the green ones for Eddie and the boys. Axl Rose used to demand tons of skin mags, Cher had to have an entire room just for wigs, Jane’s Addiction insisted that two packs of Zig Zag rolling papers be in their dressing rooms, and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails has to have two boxes of corn starch backstage before he’ll even think about going on.

Compared to the above lists, the stuff the celebs wanted at the MTV VMA’s this year wasn’t that bad.

Christina Aguilera: vanilla scented candles, four black bath towels , a space heater and two bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne.
The Jonas Brothers: Eight sugar free Red Bells, 6 regular Red Bulls and 24 pieces of California sushi rolls
Rihanna: Trish McEvoy blueberry candles, Buffalo wings and roasted jerk chicken
Kid Rock: Chap Stick, white crew socks and low fat raspberry yogurt.

The only thing that shocks me from this list is that Kid Rock eats yogurt.
