Fame affects everyone differently. Some celebrities refuse to let it go to their heads and remain level-headed no matter what happens; however, others are the complete opposite – they develop a sense of entitlement. While it’s normal for celebrities to have requests for their dressing rooms, some have ridiculous demands, which make them look spoiled and ungrateful. From private planes and red toilet paper to private gyms and cotton candy machines, there’s no limit to the lengths some celebs expect people to go to in their honor. Here is our list of 10 celebrity divas and their outrageous demands!
10. Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez has developed a reputation for being a diva. She was reportedly dropped from performing at the Indian Premier League opening ceremony after her manager asked organizers to make a private plane available for her and to pay for hotel rooms for members of her entourage, including stylists and a personal chef. The “Jenny From The Block” singer also allegedly asked for nine dressing rooms for her 90-person entourage for an interview she was doing with the BBC.

Two people from her entourage reportedly lowered her onto the morning show’s sofa to keep her from crushing her dress and she also brought her own toilet roll to the set.

Rihanna has definitely developed a reputation for being a diva. When she was on shoot for “Where Have You Been,” she reportedly requested a king-sized bed so that she could nap between takes and she also asked that no one bring bananas on set because she hates them.
