As we all know, stars like Mariah Carey and Barbra Streisand make absurd requests for things in their hotel rooms and dressing rooms. This week, TWQ (The Weekend Question) looks into that.
What eccentric requests would you demand in your dressing room and/or hotel before you arrived for an appearance? List as mamy as you wish, and be as absurd as you like!
My answers are (if I had an over inflated superstar ego):
1: Red carpet to hotel with adoring fans placed on either side.
2: Marble raised bath.
3: A DVD player with all my favourite films available in both hotel and dressing room.
4: Dressing room with posters of me on all the walls.
5: Security at the door to keep everybody out.
Now it's over to you...

4 snacks - cheeses, fresh bread, salads and loads of fresh fruit, Greek yoghourt and honey
5 Music for the soul.
6 Daily Telegraph Crossword
7 A selection of books including poetry.

Michele sends her best.
1. chocolate, preferably ice cream and m&ms
2. CD player to play my music
3. a nice comfy lounge chair to read in
4. a hunk to give me a foot massage
5. the captain of the enterprise
6. did I mention chocolate?
How could I forget my own private bath and shower and no straight edges on the bath - must be all curved and white fluffy towels and robes and access to fresh air. Here from Michele again.
- a big screen tv with dvd player and of course a wide sellection of dvd's
- cd player with all my favourite albums
- a wide assortment of gummy bears
- m&m's sorted by colour and all the blue ones would be left out
- a masseuse, a handsome young man preferably
- the best damn capuccino machine available
I think that covers it for me
1. Pizza. Lots of pizza.
2. Dodo & Chips, my favourite.
3. Complete box sets of all three seasons of the new Dr Who.
4. A pretty personal assistant.
5. An internet connection so fast it makes a bullet train look sluggish.
6. A digital music library of every song ever released.
7. A swimming pool with NO chlorine, heated to bath temperature.
8. A private jet in case I want to nip out for five minutes.
Picky? Moi?
1. My own Jacuzzi
2. A beautiful bath filled with [like the spa they have in Indonesia]
3. A library filled with books
4. Internet of course
5. A hammock lined with furs
6. Lots and lots of flowers
1. A personal massage therapist.
2. My favorite foods.
3. A surfeit of lampreys.
4. Casablanca.
5. A... Rooster.
6. Five bottles of wine.
7. A weaponry case.
8. A six mattress bed with a feather bed on top.
Hmm. I guess I'd just have to say "attentiveness" and leave it at that - if I wanted hot tea or lemonade, I could decide at that moment and it would be brought. Same with a foot massage or nap, books or music or something to watch on the screen. We quarians like to keep our options open! And Michele agrees.
1. Alyssa Milano.
2. 1.75 liter bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin, a gallon of tonic water, and a bag of limes.
3. Alyssa Milano.
4. Flat-screen HDTV with DVD player (I'll bring my own DVDs).
5. Did I mention Alyssa Milano?
Well naturally the first thing would be unlimited Blue Beaver Beer, chilled to precisely 2 degrees Celsius. Hot pepperoni sticks, exactly 16 centimetres in length. And a brand new freshly laundered and pressed medium sized black t-shirt with a very clever saying on it (i.e. +1 t-shirt of pwn-age).
I think everyone's already mentioned the things I'd like...what IS it about marble baths and hot tubs and whirlpool jets?? Because I would definitely demand that.
And I'd also choose attentiveness, so that my every want could be fulfilled almost before I wanted it.
And Dove bars.
And books.
A present every day. :)

There are so many good ideas here but I especially like the jacuzzi/whirlpool and tiramisu! Not necessarily at the same time, mind you!
Oh, and my own personal secretary to type my blog posts as I dictate them to him or her!
Im having alot of fun imagining what Id 'need' but the one thing that comes to mind is actually from the movie Gladiatress -
when Worthaboutapig is in the other world, the whole village sits at her feet and chants:
"Youre Great! Youre Brilliant! Youre Wonderful! Ahhhhh"
Doesnt that sound nice? :)
*Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.
* On-site masseur
* Gordon Ramsey as my persoanl chef. I know it will get done right.
* A private pool where no one else has put their bodies in.
* A room with a huge skylight so I can fall asleep under the stars.
Awesome question. I could go on and on and on..... :o)
I would like a babysitter for my son and then an international buffet for me and my entourage. Oh yes. I need KFC on the menu too. My single biggest indulgence.

Oh, Michele sent me,
mike
Over at Michele's I had to laugh - you obviously missed all the hoo ha where good triumphed over evil and Mike and Carmi proved they are super -heroes. Hooray!
Last minute request: body guards like Mike and Carmi.
What a list of requests you have supplied. I must admit I'd choose a few of them myself! I know I forgot a female Swedish massage therapist, and Nicole Kidman as my personal assistant.
Pi, it seems there has been a right war going on over at Michele's. Sadly I was asleep when this was going on.
Champagne on tap
A huge chocolate fountain with dips
Spa therapist
Marble jacuzzi
Oh yes!
Michele sent me to play while things are slow at the M&G :)
Umm... Chocolate, preferably dark with rum n raisins...
HEre from Michele's!
Great Question, Jean Luc...And before I get to the answer...I'm here from Michele's this A.M.
1- CASES of Bottled Water in both places.
2- A "special" ropm with DVD player, comfy chairs and couches right next to my dressing room, to MEET & GREET Visitors, with an Extensive Buffet for them.
3- A Hot Tun type thingy in the Hotel Room and The Dressing Room.
4- No M&M's. Just Dark Chocolate in both places.
5- A Meseuse, in both places, on call, 24/7.
Oooh, fun one! Glad I came here from Michele´s!
1. Red Twizzlers.
2. Hot bubble bath in one of those tubs that overflows and reheats the water, big fluffy white towels that smell good for afterwards.

4. Full buffet with a wide variety of ethnical cuisines.
5. A small playground for my sons, plus their favorite dvds.
6. Wireless internet for my laptop.

I think that would do for now. Oh, no, wait. Jensen Ackles would be a nice addition to the room! :)
Apologies for being late with my current post due to the ISP cutoff. Fortunately I'm back on now. You all responded with brilliant answers here.
