Jenny from the Block is starting to act more like Jenny from the Bourgeoisie these days. Though we know the Bronx-born Latina is hardly “on the six (train)” anymore, it seems she still hasn’t quite got what it takes to demand a private plane just to do a show. That’s the demand that reportedly got the singer/dancer/actress booted from a huge gig recently.

As the Huffington Post tells it:

The singer and actress was in the running for the opening ceremonies of India’s Premier League cricket tournament, an event the New York Post says comes with a viewing audience of 60 million people.

The massive opportunity, however, seems to have evaporated when organizers received Lopez’ rider. Among the big asks that reportedly came through manager Benny Medina: a private plane and a host of hotel rooms for her cadre of stylists and handlers.

Among those handlers were a number of assistants and even a personal chef, and according to one of the NY Post‘s sources, the audacity of that demand turned officials at the Pepsi IPL all the way off.

“The demands made on behalf of Jennifer were outrageous. She effectively priced herself out of the event. It was an idiotic move because the audience for this event is huge. It’s like the Super Bowl halftime show. Last year it drew 56 million viewers.”

Jenny’s rep is denying that these demands are what caused the singer-dancer to back out, claiming she was simply “busy,” but this isn’t exactly the first time we’ve heard J Lo is getting a little too big for her britches. According to the Post, “In 2001 she arrived for a BBC interview with a 90-person entourage and ordered nine dressing rooms for the group.” And remember when Wendy Williams said Jennifer doesn’t allow anyone else to go into a public bathroom with her at the same time? Sounds like she could’ve jumped on a “Diva” remix with Beyonce and been dead serious about that line “I’m a diva best, believe her.”

In this case, one Latino’s loss is another’s gain, as Pitbull has been chosen to take J. Lo’s place. In response to this news, Huff Po hilariously stated, “it’s hard to know if J.Lo or cricket fans are more deserving of your pity,” but I say congrats to Pitbull. Who ever thought he’d become so big globally? J Lo might wanna take a lesson. These aren’t exactly her Selena Bidi Bidi Bom Bom days.

The multiple homes, plushy cars, and extravagant jewelry pieces are fabulous, sure. But possibly the best part about being a celebrity is having the ability – dare I say right – to demand whatever is desired no matter how ridiculous, and not be given side eye for it. Remember that story about the 1980’s rock group, Van Halen, demanding a candy bowl full of M&M’s with all of the brown ones removed? Well that little request is piddly compared to some of the things these divas have demanded. Click through to find out.

Beyoncé

Diva is the female version of a hustla… but not just any hustla if you’re Beyoncé. This diva demands a dressing room temperature set precisely at 78 degrees Fahrenheit, chicken wings seasoned with cayenne pepper, and Pepsi-products only; per her endorsement contract. And for the poor person(s) in charge of fulfilling these demands: they had better be sure not to look or speak to Beyoncé – another of her demands.
