On Thursday morning the New York Post had a Page Six item about Jerry Seinfeld pulling out of an event for Donald Trump's son Eric's charity. (Apparently he does not support Trump's bogus concerns over Obama's birth certificate). To get back at him Trump provided the Post with Seinfeld's celebrity rider, a list of demands commonly issued for the celebrity's dressing room. His list included Hershey's Almond Kisses, original Fig Newtons and cold vegetable trays (no baby carrots). But the most important item was that under no circumstances should he have a cushioned stool in his dressing room. Perhaps he has an uncomfortable case of the hemorrhoids?
Here are some other interesting riders courtesy of the stealth work of The Smoking Gun:
Jennifer Lopez
White room, white tables, white flowers, white furniture, white curtains. Nantucket's fruit punch, chocolate chip cookies, papaya, apple pie a la mode, and honey peanut balance bars.
She likes to eat the fruits of the Caribbean in silence?
P. Diddy
1 Bottle Alize, 2 bottles Hennessy Cognac, 2 cases of Tropicana Twisters, and 1-gallon milk.
He is an aversion to snacks?
Mariah Carey
3 bottle chardonnay, 1 bottle opus Cabernet, 12 melon flavored Gatorade, 12 Vanilla flavored protein drinks, 4 Jo Malone vanilla candles, 4 stemmed water glasses, 2 vases of white roses, assorted low fat pretzels and chips.
How can you enjoy a glass of melon Gatorade without the wafting smell of vanilla candles?
Keep in mind that most of this nonsense they will not even touch. It is a power play. Let's see if they are paying enough attention that they are willing to traipse around town looking for the one kind of candle I want. Eminem requests Boar's Head maple turkey. Will he go postal if he gets Von's signature select? Will Jennifer Lopez start throwing punches if someone gets her an off-white couch. Will she literally lose her mind if there is a blue throw pillow?
What would you include in your rider? I would definitely work in a traveling karaoke machine, an autographed and framed picture of Boss Hog, and a pack of Swedish fish.
