I don't have the original URL, sorry... -----Original Message----- The check-your-ego-at-the-door attitude of most charity records somehow got by singer Jennifer Lopez, according to thesmokinggun.com. The website has posted a list of demands J.Lo's people made prior to her participation in the recording and video for a recent charity remake of Marvin Gaye's classic "What's Going On." Proceeds from the single, which also includes performances by U2's Bono and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, go to the Global AIDS Alliance and the September 11th Fund of the United Way. t's not unusual for celebrities to include a lengthy list of back-stage conditions when they make public appearances, but generally speaking, when the cause is charitable, those demands are toned down or set aside altogether. The Smoking Gun said it received a copy of Lopez's "rider" from two different sources involved in the production. Lopez was on set for a mere 90 minutes to shoot her moment in the video for "What's Going On." Here are just some of things J.Lo reportedly required: -- A 45' trailer with two entry doors, equipped with CD player, TV, VCR, hair sink and make-up station -- A white dressing room with white flowers, white tables, white tablecloths, white drapes, white candles, white couches. "No catering in the actual dressing room, except beverages)". -- Fruits, including mango, green seedless grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, papaya, honey dew melon, watermelon, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie (a la mode), brownies, vanilla ice cream. -- Evian water (room temperature), raspberry-lemon Snapple, Nantucket's fruit punch, Kern's apricot/mango/pear guava/peach. "NO TOMATO, APPLE OR GRAPE JUICES." -- Balance bars (honey peanut), Diptyque candies. -- Steamer, ironing board, iron, wardrobe rack -- "Assortment of CURRENT R&B, hip-hop & salsa," with suggestions including Wyclef Jean, De La Soul, Buena Vista Social Club, Jurassic 5, Matchbox 20, Beck and Marc Anthony. The list also included a hand-written section that requested "Cuban food" -- beans, rice and chicken. Lopez's actual time was so brief, none of the food she demanded was even touched, The Smoking Gun said.
