Janet Jackson demanded cold Fijian spring water was flown in for her radio appearance.

The singer made the diva-like demand just an hour before she was due to be interviewed on London's Capital radio station.

Insiders revealed that when the star arrived at the studio she insisted her own staff checked the temperature of the water with a thermometer.

A source told Britain’s Sun newspaper: "The lengths she went to for a cold glass of water were simply unbelievable.

"She insisted the water was from a Fijian spring and cooled to a precise temperature before she drank it.

"How anybody could tell the difference between a standard bottle of mineral water and some from a Fijian spring beggars belief. It was hilarious watching her staff make such a fuss."




Meanwhile, the singer was reportedly banned from a Parisian restaurant - after she failed to turn up for a reservation.

It is claimed she infuriated bosses at the exclusive Arpege eatery after she booked a table but never showed.

That black and white photo doesn’t even look like her. Good job photo shop.

You know, it really still kills me.  It seems it was only yesterday that she was extremely overweight schlepping around in a pair of baggy sweats, sweatshirt, and old lady’s hat on looking like Oprah on a bad day.  I still do not believe that she lost all that weight and gained those abs in less than four months. - Bullshit.

exercise.  starvation.  steroids.  lipo.  photoshop.  done deal.

Her stomach is so weird looking.  It kinda looks like the stomach area of the Teenage Mutant Turtles costumes in the movie, except for the grotesque cantlope lumps in the chest region.

next thing you know she’ll be sleeping in an oxygen chamber.  she can always borrow michael’s.

Vtgal, she gains and loses weight every 3 or 4 years. Its nothing new. When shes on her off time she always gets a little chunky, I dont see why people are so shocked.

Oh and…umm…she wants water. Big whuup. Dont see whats so crazy about that. I’m sure she just ‘asked’ for water, but of course—to try and spice up a boring story—they edited as ‘demanded’ water LOL!

Janet is still under the impresson that people care.

she would get a big old glass of piss if I had to deal with her bitch ass… dump it ohn her hair weave

It’s not that she wanted water that is annoying, but a specific water chilled to a specific temperature.  Just use the water cooler like everyone else.

why do her boobs always look squished?...other girls with implants don’t look like that.

does anyone know what she looked like b4?

yes this seems like maddonaesq!!!! spoilt!!! If I would demand anything I would demand these sluts stop asking for so much!!!

She has so much compassion and concern for the world—wrong! With all the starving people around the world, she will be so demanding for damn glass of water! What elite snobs all of these celebrities are. They all do it, not just Janet. I can understand a certain bottled water brand but having to have it at room temp. To fly in your brand of water, I wouldn’t go that far.

That is a ridiculous demand but I love the black & white pic

See stars that make demands like that are such jerks, really whats the point of a certain temp. just make it cold water janet! not a certain temp.

OK. A lesson in Riders and demands:
The PA at the radio station calls the guest’s PA to see if there’s anything they need when they get there (bearing in mind that many times this appearance is just part of a whole junket, with the interviewee hardly getting time to visit the bathroom, let alone eat or drink). The guest’s PA says “oh, bottled water would be great, thanks”. “Any particular brand?”
“Well, what do you have in the studio?”
“We have Fiji, or…”
“yeah, Fiji will do fine, thanks”
“and would she like that chilled?”
“That would be great, thanks - only not too chilled. Chilled water is not good for the voice”
“Will do. See you soon”

et voila! Suddenly a diva is making unreasonable demands and people who don’t have lives of their own can kvetch about someone else’s hard-earned success.

Riders are often quite precise and specific and written by attorneys.  My favorite rider that I’ve seen came from an indie band for an outdoor gig (handwritten on a setlist):

beverages:  some beer, Corona would be nice.  Just not anything we would have drank in college, please.
water:  something bottled, but not evian - that stuff tastes vaguely like swamp water.  Just leave the bottles out, don’t chill it.
ice:  yep.  Ice works.
food:  Isn’t there a food court thing outside our trailer? 
special items:  enough toilet paper would be nice.

Who the hell does she think she is?

i have a theory as to why rich and famous people act like this:

Rich folks do not have to worry about bills,  mortgages, groceries, school supplies for the kids, clipping coupons, or how to stretch out your dated wardrobe one more season b/c you can’t really afford to go shopping for new stuff. They don’t have to worry about the little things that make up day to day living for 99.99999% of the people on the planet.

Without any sort of care, worry, or concerns about the mundanity that makes up normal people’s daily lives they become bored and have to make up shit to focus on as VERY IMPORTANT to them to occupy their time and minds. While the rest of us are focused on working, making a paycheck, covering our rent and food and figuring out how much of our hard earned money we might be able to spend on entertainment or something fun each month these people don’t have anything like that to worry about…so they fret over inconsequential things like water temperature, the humidity of their bedrooms, brand new toilets seats in their dressing rooms, the need for white candles of a certain brand, getting the brown M&Ms; out of their candy bowls, etc. simply to give themselves something to do and invest their energy and worries into.

I think my theory also covers why so many rich and famous people squander it all on drugs and alcohol. Since they don’t have day-to-day shit to worry over they get bored and start playing with substances just for something to do and to have something to fixate over and struggle with since they don’t have to struggle with the bullshit the average joe has to, like making ends meet.

Seriously, most of us regular people of us don’t have the time nor the money to fuck around with $500 a day cocaine habits…we got rent to pay and jobs we have to work 8 hours a day 52 weeks a year…unlike these schmoes who work for 3-6 months a year and spend the rest of their time frittering around from vacation spot to vacation spot.

This is crazy….

Her packs are to damn big.

“why do her boobs always look squished?...other girls with implants don’t look like that. does anyone know what she looked like b4?”

Umm, she looks the same but younger? She doesnt have implants beleive it or not. When you wear a push up bra and/or padding, your breasts look “squished”. Considering Janet had developed at an early age (go catch any Good Times repeats, Fame or Different Strokes) I dont think she would get them enlarged. I think because she her weight shifts a lot, thats probably why they look funny sometimes.

“She has so much compassion and concern for the world—wrong! With all the starving people around the world, she will be so demanding for damn glass of water! What elite snobs all of these celebrities are. They all do it, not just Janet. I can understand a certain bottled water brand but having to have it at room temp. To fly in your brand of water, I wouldn’t go that far.”

You obviously dont know a damn thing about Janet Jackson do you? Must not, if you are so gulliable to actually buy this story lol. First, check your common sense history if nothing else—when other time have you ever heard a story about Janet Jackson and supposive outrageous demands? Never. At all. So why beleive it now? JJ was never a controversial celebrity before, there were hardly any tabloid stories about her before. She’s very private aswell. But after 2004 (after you know what) the media is up on her ovaries like never before, so all this bullshit now is fabrication.

Knuckles Johnson: Perhaps you misunderstand, but when you work for somebody, it doesnt mean a damn thing if you “care”. Its your job LOL.
