Michael Jackson's whopping WMA demands
Nov 15, 2006, 12:20 GMT
Michael Jackson has outraged organisers of the World Music Awards, after making backstage demands totalling a staggering £250,000.
Jackson - who is set to perform his classic hit 'Thriller' at tonight's (15.11.06) ceremony in London - demanded personal hair and make-up artists, a private jet and 20 first-class plane tickets for his entourage.
The eccentric singer has also made a number of outrageous demands to staff at the Hempel Hotel, in London's Bayswater area, where he is staying at a cost of £6,300-a-night.
Upon Jackson's request the lavish hotel has erected an 18ft wall on its first floor to provide more privacy for him and his three children, Prince Michael, nine, Paris, eight, and four-year-old Prince Michael II.
A source said: "Yes, he's eccentric but he wants to create a homely environment for them."
However, the 48-year-old star's unusual requests have apparently earned him a bad reputation among London's top hoteliers.
A source said: "Loads of other hotels turned him down because they were worried about being besieged by fans. They were also nervous about his demands."

silly child.
no the person at the beginning was right, i mean, look at all the diva requests mariah carey comes out with!! u only have to type in her name into a news site to see what im talkin about. so why focus in on MJ and imply that he's any different to other stars for doing it?
It's nice to see that there are articles being submitted by the mass media that aren't comlete lies. And safety shouldn't be considered an eccentricity...You would do the same in those cirmunstances.
LIES LIES LIES, I HOPE YOUR COMPANY GOES BANKRUPT... Do you actually think people will believe this shiite?
Michaels demands are not lavisch. He is the greatest entertainer of all time. He is the Rolls Royce of the music business and you cannot buy a Rolls Royce for the price of a Skoda. Lets be honest every one loves watching Michael Jackson. He has the X factor..........
Hey guys- ladys and the media,
I have just got home after seeing mj at the world music awards! it was so much fun! He is a wonderful man with a warm smile and that the pure truth. Ok the night did mess up a little when mjs mic went off in the middle of the show...but hey he did not mess up at all not like that twit lady who was the host for the night, I mean all she has to do is read the lines, and she could not even do that!!!!!!!!!
Well I have seen most of what the media have to say about mj on the night, but please give the guy a break, hes has not been in front of so many people in such a long time and to think of how he must have been feeling! NERVSSSSSS!!!
All i can add to the end is that I wish him all the best in his up coming Album next year! Hes great!!! x Peace to him
Faces Of Career Death: Michael Jackson's Failed Comeback
...Michael Jackson's recent comeback attempt at the World Music Awards (he had stagefright, his voice cracked during the chorus 'We Are The World,' and other snoozeworthy events...Defamer.com
Went to the World Music Awards last night. Wow, what an incredible let down. The event was dreadful and Michael should have done 100% better than he did. Very disappointing to say the least. He best give it a go or just retire and save us the will he or wont he nonsense...
michael jackson- his requests are not lavish, the hotel should be honoured that he wants to spend his time there, after all he is the king of pop.
Michael you rock.
You need to stop. You know that if you were worth upwards of $250 million dollars you'd make some outrageous demands too. We all would. It would be no different if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stayed there, they too would make some outrageous demands. The only difference would be that no one would say anything about it. Leave micheal alone, he's worth more money than you'll ever touch in you and your children's lifetime, so leave him alone. CHIMON!!! HE HE HE!!!! AOWWWW!!!!
The difference between Maria Scary and Wacko would be that Maria doesn't take such an 'interest' in young boys. It's a good thing they knocked down that wall in the hotel. We wouldn't want the children sleeping in a different room than Mike. That would just be crazy!
Michael Jackson is GARBAGE.
his demands are infact less than any actor or singer of his stature and class should have. He is the king and he is back.. woooo hoooooo
