Johnny Depp Gossip Diva Demands
We don\'t want to believe it\'s true, but rumour has it that Johnny Depp ‘got his diva on\' while filming ‘Sweeney Todd\' in London earlier this year. According to newspaper reports, Depp demanded that his trailer be decorated with dozens of candles, Moroccan drapes, and several hubbly-bubbly pipes, which apparently cost producers an estimated $50,000.
Even worse, after discovering that Vince Vaughn (who also happened to be filming at Pinewood Studios at the time) was renting out the London house he had planned to stay in, Johnny demanded a bigger trailer than Vince to make himself feel better... This makes us feel sad inside

The dossier contained more revelations, including detailed requirements such as: a table covered with a white cloth, one comfortable chair, 30 different bottles of branded water, seasonal organic berries, fruit, a full set of silverware, a kettle, organic honey, spoons, fresh lemons, three boxes of different teas, 10 white towels and four aromatherapy candles, all of which have to be the same scent – phew!

Beyonce Knowles Gossip Diva Demands
At a recent gig in the UK, Beyoncé demanded that her dressing room be heated to exactly 78 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain her voice... Other dressing room ‘must-haves\' were listed as: an unlimited supply of Pepsi, turkey sandwiches, Honeynut Cheerios and a two-man love seat!
And it gets worse... At her recent Dublin gig, fans who had won a ‘meet and greet\' with the diva were warned more than once that there was to be no kissing, no touching, no questions and no handbags in the presence of Beyoncé - we bet that was a fun time for all!

Justin Timberlake Gossip Diva Demands
And the award for most unlikely diva goes to… Justin Timberlake, who allegedly once demanded a giant mirror to be placed on the ceiling of his London hotel room… BLEURGH!
As if that wasn’t enough, while he was there, he also ordered himself up a private gym, a running supply of Hershey bars (because he doesn\'t like our chocolate) and stipulated that there should be no packets of nuts in the mini-bar. Weeeeeirrrrrrdoooo!

Joss Stone Gossip Diva Demands
Who didn\'t see this coming? Joss Stone reportedly turned to the dark side of divadom this summer when she issued an 11-page list of demands ahead of her appearance at Knowsley Hall Music Festival in Liverpool.
In her directory of demands were 12 de-thorned roses, Miracle Whip and a gentle reminder that Joss will ‘only eat from china plates arranged on a tablecloth\' - how very civilised...
Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez Celebrity Gossip Diva
Good old Jennifer Lopez - she doesn\'t care whether it\'s a big-budget movie, a low-budget indie flick, or a charity event - if she wants something, she damn well better get it! A couple of years ago, while attending the recording session for a charity single, J-Lo demanded a huge trailer furnished all in white with flowers, tablecloths, drapes, candles, couches, a VCR, a CD player and 43 CDs.
More recently she put the future of an entire film in danger after her outlandish diva demands crippled the budget of independent movie ‘Bordertown\'. On this occasion she insisted on being moved from a hotel to a private villa, wanted a $100-a-day hairstylist, and asked to be provided with a luxury trailer on set... what a woman.
Oh, and don\'t forget, people: if J-Lo wants coffee, you stir it counter-clockwise only - OK?
Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey Celebrity Gossip Diva
Surely a contender for the ‘most ridiculous diva in the world ever’ award, Mariah ‘I don’t do stairs’ Carey’s list of barmy demands just goes on and on… Her demands are diverse - she’s asked for everything from bunnies to bendy straws.
Once, she sent 20 assistants to redecorate the toilets in a music shop before she arrived to attend an album signing – the reason being she wanted to make sure the toilet paper was in her preferred shade of pink…
Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand Celebrity Gossip Diva
During her recent trip to the capital, Barbra Streisand caused a stir at the prestigious Dorchester Hotel, when she reportedly issued staff with a huge list of ridiculous rules and requests, including a warning to employees, who were told they must not look the singer in the eye...
A sample of said list was as follows: peach-coloured toilet roll (to match her complexion), rose petals in the toilet bowl... Need we go on?
Madonna

Madonna Celebrity Gossip Diva
During her ‘Confessions\' tour last year, Madonna\'s backstage demands reached new heights when she insisted that there should be no air-conditioning at her Wembley concert, because it affected her voice. During the gig several audience members fainted due to the heat, prompting Wembley chiefs to overrule the singer and swiftly order the air-conditioning back on.
On top of that Madge was also said to have requested a brand new toilet seat at every gig, dozens of white roses for her dressing room, candles to protect her from \'negative glances and mean-spiritedness\', 12 dozen boxes of strawberries, eight full-length mirrors, a skipping rope, Yorkshire tea, organic green tea and vanilla room-spray!

Prince Celebrity Gossip Diva
Prince made his biggest diva demand to date this year when he asked if he could have a luxury five-bedroom house built for him within the grounds of London\'s O2 Arena. AEG, the owner of the site, agreed to foot the bill, and now Prince (whose 21-date Earth Tour finishes this month), has said he will keep the house on and use it as a base for all his future visits to London – some stars have all the luck
