If you were one of the most famous pop stars in the world, what would you ask for on your tour rider? Me, I’d go simple. A little fruit basket here, a little loaf of raisin bread without the raisins there, and a whole lot of cookie dough everywhere. Also, the complete collection of Pauly Shore on DVD, so that no matter where I went, I’d always have my copy of Biodome nearby to make me feel at home. Oh yeah, and a 128-pack of the BIGGEST condoms around (*winks at the ladies*). If you’re Lady Gaga, you ask for a weird mannequin and food that makes you poop.
Lady Gaga’s official tour rider for her worldwide Monster Ball tour has been revealed. The tour took place from 2009 to 2011, and the rider has instructions for decoration of her dressing room, as well as food and personal items…Her final request was for a mannequin with ‘puffy pink public hair.’ (Via)
That’s probably supposed to say “pubic,” a more understandable request than “public hair,” which would involve some poor intern sweeping up barbershop hair, the fetching coffee of the pop music world. Also, as Gawker wisely points out:
She requests bran flake cereal. She requests peanut butter with flax seed oil. She requests hummus and whole wheat bread. She requests 6 containers of Activia (vanilla or strawberry – vanilla preferred.) (Via)
NEW REQUEST: a solid-gold toilet that both sings Prince songs and massages my feet. Get on it, science.
