In a world seemingly full of Super-models,
Movie Stars and Superstars, it's always nice to know that deep
down, they're no different than the average Joe. Of course, the
beautiful people are entitled to perks that would seem odd for
most of us.
Rock group Van Halen insisted on
large bowls on M&M's, with the brown ones omitted. Many people
think it was the yellow ones, but we who know realize that
the green ones make you horny. Another 70s/80s band, Foreignor
needed a dozen or so blueberry pies for the after-concert pie
fight.
Johnny Cash always demanded that
an American Flag was in full view for his audience. Micky Dolenz
and Davy Jones, of Monkees' fame, insured that promoters
were contractually obligated to spell the names without a "e"
before the "y" in any press releases or marquees.
Mariah Carey wants to drink her
champagne from bendy straws and Mick Jagger said he'd take
the brown M&M's that David Lee Roth and Van Halen
declined.

In keeping with the tradition of odd
demands for performers, J-Lo, as the not-pretentious Jennifer
now likes to be called, wants an all-white dressing room, including
curtains, rugs, as well as her make up table.
While claiming in her songs to be real,
she has, in fact, raised the bar in Superstar Excess. Like Mariah
Carey, the old bar-raiser, she accepts only Evian bottled water,
but J-Lo leaves Mariah in the dust after that.
Britney Spears is apparently more down-to-earth.
Ms. Lopez had/has an unusual pre-nuptial
agreement for Ben Affleck, actor and almost husband number 3.
After two failed marriages, she drew up a list of rules for him,
including having sex four times a week. If Ben was unfaithful
she'd get five million dollars. If he lied, she'd get one million.
The amount paid to Chris Judd, husband # 2, for her infidelity
with Ben has not been disclosed.
In early 2003, J-Lo and her entourage
went shopping at Barney's in New York when the "still-Jenny"
got tired of ogling fans and asked her personal shopper if they
could close the store so she could shop alone. They had done it
for Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, but management said no to her.
The salespeople say she was difficult and demanding.
In our view, however, she truly raised
the bar on "not being real" and diva-dom by having her
own personal nipple-tweaker (pictured on the right).
Most models and actresses manage this
somewhat personal photographic 'must do' themselves, but only
the I'm Real, Jenny from the Block, has her own NT, as
they are referred to in the Stylist's Union
When asked if they had personal "nipple
tweakers", Superstar Lookers Claudia Schiffer, Nikki Schieler,
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brooke Burke each gave our investigator
a nasty look that said "NO!", and stormed away.

Seventies supermodel and actress Farrah Fawcett, star of
television's Charlie's Angels, and the biggest selling poster
of all time (left), didn't need a nipple tweaker for this
famous photo.
Instead, we're told, a spritz of water and a lite, cool
breeze did the trick.
Of course, sometimes the supermodel may get a little "subtle"
help from a stylist, or stylist's intern. This is one of
the few perks of a low wage internship.

"I'm portrayed
negatively as spoiled and demanding and an obnoxious person.
I'm not like that. I'm the opposite. Of course, the people around
me try to make things as pleasant as possible for me."
-To the London Sun, November, 2001

"Don't
be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from
(From the Bronx)"
-Jenny From the Block, by Jennifer Lopez

Don't
ask me where I've been
Or what I'm gonna do
Just know that I'm here with you
Don't try to understand...
I'm real
What you
get is what you see...
-I'm Real, by Jennifer Lopez

I get chills
up and down my spine
Whenever I hear that song of mine
When it stops better press rewind
(Play that sh*t again)
Let me hear it one more time....

WHO NEEDS A TOWEL?!
Well, when Ms. J-Lo needs a towel, an assistant is patiently
waiting for her IN the water, with open towel in hand!
We can only assume that her companion's "towel holder"
is to the right of J-Lo's "towel flunky".
