Even when Jennifer Lopez is doing a music videobenefiting victims of both the recent terroristattacks and the African AIDS epidemic, J. Lo is highmaintenance. Along with dozens of other performers,Lopez has participated in a charity remake ofMarvin Gaye's "What's Going On," and was at Miami'sBig Time studio on October 20 to film her cameo in theaccompanying music video. But before the shoot,Lopez's representatives gave the production crew this detailed"rider" describing what needed to be in place prior tothe diva's arrival.
A copy of the document was provided to The Smoking Gunby two sources involved in the "What's Going On"production, both of whom thought Lopez's demands werea bit much considering the charitable nature of theproject (proceeds will be split between the GlobalAIDS Alliance and the September 11th Fund of theUnited Way).
As it turned out, Lopez only spent about 90 minutes onthe Miami soundstage, so that spread mentioned in thehandwritten addendum went untouched, according to oneTSG source. Also, Lopez had to settle for agreenish-colored couch, not the desired white one.Somehow, she survived. (2 pages)
