Alas, TSG's just a grubby web site, so we're left to chronicle the wacky demands of others. For each of the superstars pictured below, TSG has obtained the "contract rider" delivered to concert promoters on behalf of each artist. Along with specifications on stage design, sound systems, and lighting rigs, the rider details what perks the performer requires--from transportation and billing to dressing room accommodations and meals.

We think you'll get a kick out of this unauthorized backstage excursion. But do us a favor: No e-mails theorizing about what Christina Aguilera is doing with all those Flintstones chewables. And, no, we can't figure why Britney Spears traded in her Froot Loops and Pop Tarts for Olestra-laden Wow! chips and (egad!) tins of General Foods International Coffee. You'll just have to wait for the "Behind The Music" episode.
