Diva On The Block

Superstar Jennifer Lopez had studio execs blinking with her list of crazy needs including special Lo-wattage lightbulbs, hot Cuban bread and lots of Skittles reports The Mirror.

Two hours before she was due for a recording session, she delivered a three-page ultimatum to bosses which listed her demands.

Staff at Santa Monica's Westlake Studios in LA had to change all the lights for dimmer ones and place them at angles to make the singer look "desirable".

One record executive said: "J.Lo was such a diva when she was here last week. Her people sent us a three-page rider request for her dressing room which was absurd. It was so last-minute.

"All the lights had to be at a certain wattage and an angle to make her look good”

"She wanted fresh, piping-hot Cuban bread which we had to trawl 10 bakeries to find and dozens of packets of Skittles - including the new sour flavour. She also wanted a gourmet meat selection, a separate cheese platter and crates of water and fruit and scented candles.”

"We needed to get six extra members of staff to fetch all she needed and lug all the food and crates over."

The star - who is working on her new album - hardly touched her food.

The source added: "There was enough to eat for about 20 people in the end, but she barely so much as looked at it.

"No one here could believe it - we knew she was a little demanding sometimes but this was absurd."

“We've never seen anything like it since Michael Jackson asked for a room to be made above the studio so his monkey Bubbles could watch him record."

One thing’s for sure, no one does Diva like J.Lo
