Rock Stars!

We've all heard of the crazy things the rock stars ask for backstage at their concerts like all red M&M's, huge trays of food, bottled water at a certain temperature, fresh flowers and so on. Well, this morning we chatted with Spinner.com's Kim Davis and she has a story about the "25 Most Outrageous Concert Riders." You have to check out this story and see what some of these people ask for! My personal favorite, Cher requires her wigs have their own personal dressing room!
