We always hear of mega stars like JLo and Mariah Carey having ridiculous requests on their riders (you know, the long list given to celeb TV bookers which include things like only red M&Ms, their dressing room to be completely white, etc, etc), so imagine Alan Carrs shock when the only ting JLo requested backstage on Chatty Man was a bottle of water.
Speaking to Entertainmentwise.com, the comedian and presenter said, “You know what, I was so disappointed when I turned up when JLo was here. I was so excited, I was like 'What's her rider like?' I went straight to the production office and they were like 'nothing...just a bottle of water' I was like 'what?! Where's the puppies? Where's the flowers? Where's the throwing of rose petals when she is walking she is walking down the corridor?' No she was really down-to-earth and really lovely when you meet her and her bum is absolutely amazing in the flesh. It's actually like a ripe peach.”
One rumoured diva who didn’t disappoint was Mariah Carey. Alan revealed, “she had to have a staircase assistant. Someone who had to check the stairs for her to see whether she could walk down them and she had to have a £1,000 bottle of champagne. Oh my god, it was so strong. I had one glass with her, by the end of it, I couldn't read the autocue! I was off my face! So by the time the third guest came on, I wanted to party or a kebab.
I miss Diva Lopez. She s going soft. Got to love Mariah getting her assistant to test out the staircase lol.
He also mentions his favourite guests were Rihanna, JLO, Justin timberlake, Kylie.
