'Don't look at me!'
Katy Perry has always come across as a fun loving artist dressing in bubblegum colours and prancing around the stage.

But it seems the Fireworks singer is a bit of a diva at heart, as has been showcased in her concert rider which has recently been published.

...

One whole sheet of the 45-page rider is dedicated to whomever is driving her around the various cities around the world.

The chauffeur is only allowed to speak when spoken to and is not permitted to start a conversation with the star. He or she is also told not to stare at Perry through the rear view mirror.

...

And for snacking she only wants organic fruits and vegetables that have been 'properly sanitised'.

While staying overnight in in cities, she also has to stay in luxury.

Perry insists on being booked into the presidential suite of a five star hotel and also need five junior suites and 45 single rooms.

1. She'd better watch out or "properly sanitized" might mean

4. that's pretty funny, but not as funny as Danzig's rider
which I always heard included a clause stating that nobody from the venue was allowed to look Danzig in the eyes.

5. Wonder if that was before or after he got one-punch dropped by that hardcore singer?
Funny how, for all of Danzig's bragged-about (mostly from him) martial arts skills, that

a) he instigated the fight out of sheer anger, which, if he listened to anything at all about martial arts, he wouldn't have done and

b) he couldn't defend a single punch from a plus-300 pound physically out-of-shape guy that he was staring right at . . . . it wasn't like the North Side Kings guy suckered him or anything.

It also appears that the whole fight started from Danzig's bitch diva actions at that particular show anyway.

6. while many a star has "diva" issues, most if not all of these various riders
are checks to make sure whomever is booking the artist actually read the contract.

The famous Van Halen "No Green M&M's" is a perfect example.

It's a classic escape clause mumbo jumbo for artists and their agents to get out of bad bookings.
