An article from The Daily Meal outlines some of the weirdest backstage ration requirements. Undeniable senses of entitlement aside, perhaps it becomes acceptable to request 7 (but absolutely not 9) grains in one’s bread after selling millions of albums or winning multiple Oscars.
Ever wonder what Jennifer Hudson, spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, craves after a show? Answer: baked hot wings.

If you’re thinking about having T.I stop by for a performance, get ready to drop some major dough. Be prepared to have nine filet mignons (at exactly 9 oz a piece), Grey Goose, Patrón, and Rémy Martin VSOP on hand.
