BEWARE - Looking at Katy Perry can cost you your JOB!

I don't ever believe any of these things. If I was a celebrity I would just intentionally do some of this stuff to be goofy. Like anyone who serves me food should hop on their right leg. God help you if it's the left!

BTW, did anyone think that maybe she doesn't want certain flowers because she's allergic to them?

These types of things just shows what arrogant types of people become stars.

Well, if she is arrogant now, it doesn't prove that statement.
I was in an improv troupe for a few years with her brother when she was in high school, and I'm not sure anyone at that time would've called her "arrogant."

I've seen worse. Like some stars who demand their M&Ms be only certain colors. Really, this isn't that bad. I don't see a thing wrong with it.

That was Van Halen. No brown M&Ms. If they found a brown M&M, they trashed the room. The reason they claimed they did this is because no one read the rider. Katy Perry's rider is not that bad, all told.

Edit: And I was beaten to the punch!
 
A lot of that stuff is pretty reasonable. If five dancers are using the room to change, there needs to be enough towels. Stuff like that.

I was about to object to the insistence upon pink or cream colors, but...(and I'm reaching here), perhaps the color of the surroundings affect what her makeup looks like, and thus if it's "wrong", her makeup will also turn out wrong.

The driver stuff is funny, especially the misspellings. I don't know what they're trying to say with "check the vehicle matinees before pickup."
 
So there, I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweet shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweet shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son that's a different story altogether... I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really, but sure enough I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show!
 
I don't see what the big deal about what her rider is.

I mean, haven't you guys heard about the whole Van Halen brown M&Ms thing? Jeez.
 
As Qui can attest I deal with this stuff daily and having had some interesting experiences with drivers here in Hollywood Im not sure I can disagree with her (lol). Some take it too far but essentially when they are in the car it may be the only time that day where theyve had a chance to catch their breath and be left alone. I was picked up at LAX once and had to endure 25 minutes of the driver telling me how his crack fiend of a girlfriend left him and went back to her husband (true story). Basically what that clause says is: If THEY (the star) wants to talk to you let THEM initiate the conversation. Its the same in Executive Protection. I deal in high end security for the Hollywood A-List and Im polite but ALWAYS let them initiate because they generally have a million things going on in their heads. Yes, there are some who are 'mission impossible' and WILL try and get you fired for making eye contact but mostly things like not talking are for good reason and if you spend enough time around these folks they generally start to initiate with you once they are comfortable.
 
Not to date myself, but one of my first industry jobs was as a production assistant on Saved by the Bell (yeah, yeah). Before every taping, I had to remove all the yellow and green sour balls from a from a fresh bag for our executive producer who liked to suck on 'em in the control room. Fun times.

Thanks to your avatar, I read this thing hearing Matt Smith's voice. Sounds rather plausible in the Doctors Voice too. He's also the reason Van Halen did not want brown M&M's.

Actually, yes - That was my first thought. You beat me to it : lol:

Having been drum-tech and stand-in for a couple of semi-famous groups, I'd like to share this little insight.

The manager is going through the list, asking what sort of stuff you need - towel, toiletries, meals, what food you're allergic to, what your favourite snacks are, general chit-chat....

(S)he asks a couple of things and you go, "Oh, I really like XYZ, or I was a little bit miffed when that guy did ABC". Next thing you know, the rider reads 'MUST have 20 x XYZs in the room' or 'all persons are BANNED from doing ABC in Tasky's presence, on pain of death'.

Gary Numan once laughingly remarked to his manager that he had a number one single and album, was the top selling artist at the time, yet still drove a clapped out old banger. His manager asks what cars he likes. Gary laughs and says he always liked the Stingray Corvette. It was only when the manager popped back in a few hours later and asked, "what colour?" that Gary realised how serious the guy was.

Maybe he likes the brown ones?
 
Where is the part about not looking at Katy Perry or you'll be fired? :confused


Don't tell me next to the brown M&Ms. :angry
