In spite of amassing an astounding $400 million net worth over the span of her incredible career, Jennifer Lopez still resents the term 'diva' being used to describe her, and claims she very much remains the same, humble, "Jenny from the block" that she always used to be.
However, her list of demands she has when she steps out of her house to go on tour proves that she really does expect to be treated like a higher caliber citizen. Her tour rider is a dead giveaway that the talented entertainer truly has earned her nickname, 'La Diva Del Bronx.'
Jennifer Lopez Needs Her Space Transformed
Jennifer Lopez doesn't achieve her stunning looks and perfect image by accident. It's a very well-crafted persona that she reveals to the world, and it takes a whole team of people to get her prepped and ready to face her fans. In spite of a number of denials from the star about being a high-maintenance lady, the truth about her demanding nature has been revealed. It turns out that her rider involves an intense demand-list and the star won't engage in any appearances until or unless her entire list of needs is met.
Before diving in to the nitty-gritty pertaining to the items that she requires to surround herself with, the actual temperature in the room must be addressed. Jennifer Lopez requires the thermostat to be set to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and requires that two oscillating fans be used to achieve this perfectly curated climate.
The room she stays in must be all white, and has to be fully packed with fresh, white roses as well. White drapes must conceal all the walls and completely transform the space into an airy feminine environment. A private chef and laundry service must be available on demand.
That's just the beginning of JLo's elaborate rider.
A Long List Of Demands
After the landscape is perfectly designed for Jennifer Lopez, all the other items she requires to be within it have to be brought in. No room is complete without lime-blossom or grapefruit candles, which must be burning at all times. Homemade apple pie must always be available, as well as a coffee maker, a hot water pot, and her very own specially selected sets of flatware, stemware, and glasses. This seems like a far cry from her life on 'the block.'
There also must be a secondary room made available to Jennifer Lopez at all times, and this acts as her wardrobe room. The same atmosphere is duplicated, with the addition of a beauty section designed for her makeup and hairstyling.
Jennifer's lifestyle is dramatically diva-like and must always include a variety of fruits on a platter, a vegetable platter, and sour cream and onion potato chips. Sunflower seeds must exist in abundance, with the shell on. Plain M&M's are washed down with Coca-Cola, Smart Water, and Gatorade, all of which must be available in abundance.
Anyone questioning her diva status need not question it anymore, now that it's on full display.
