Janet Jackson amuses radio station staff with water demands

Outlandish ‘rider’ demands are quite common for pop stars on tour - such as Madonna’s recent request for Kabbalah-blessed water and new toilet seats - but staff at London’s Capital radio station were stunned when Janet Jackson sent an assistant to place a particular brand of water in their fridge before she was due to arrive for an interview.

Janet insisted only drinking her preferred type of chilled Fijian spring water and her staff had to use a thermometer to check it was the exact temperature she required.

A source told the Sun: “It was simply unbelievable the lengths she went to for a cold glass of water.”

“She insisted the water was her very own, from a Fijian spring and cooled to a precise temperature before she would drink it.”

“How anybody can tell the difference between a standard bottle of mineral water and some from a Fijian spring beggars belief. It was hilarious watching her staff make such a fuss.”
