Starbucks Tells Jennifer Hudson Thanks, But No Thanks

Usually, when celebrities demand things backstage, they get them. However it looks like someone at Starbucks put their foot down and refused to give in to idol-turned-diva Jennifer Hudson.

Apparently Jennifer was supposed to perform at the annual Starbucks shareholder meeting in Seattle. However, according to TMZ, after her agent made some zany demands, Starbucks pulled the plug on the performance. Turns out that Chairman Howard Schultz didn't like the way her agent was dealing with his people and said enough is enough.

So what were the zany demands? Try FIVE town cars (herself, hair and makeup artists, security, and her assistant), humidifiers backstage and baked chicken wings at 10:00am. I guess it was the chicken wings that was just too much. However, in Jennifer's defense, she apparently didn't know about the demands, her team came up with them all on their own.

Chicken wings... at 10am? At that time of day I'm more about fresh yogurt, muffins and pancakes. I'd probably demand eggs benedict and waffles... How about you guys, if you were a famous diva, what would you demand at 10am?

    a really yummy 10am demand for me would be tea and croissants, definitely attainable.

    I would demand a bouquet of a half-dozen monomeria barbata, and a cart to follow me around with ice cold water (but not iced. Just cold enough for a thin top layer to be frozen)fresh pasta, fresh baked bread, sliced fruit, and steamed veggies. It's not too much to ask, right?

    I think a lot of times the outrageous demands come from "the staff" since that's the only way they get what they want. I'm sure all the food and drinks that artists request are really for their people. Ditto the extra cars and such. I mean, if you were the assitant making the arrangements and you had the ability to make it happen, wouldn't you request your own car and your favorite foods too?

    That's pretty sad that she is blaming on her team, for some reason I find it easy to believe that it was her. Why would her team want a humidifier?

    Well, I would want Starbucks!! Smiling Potato pancakes from Perkins too, maybe Smiling

    Um... how about some Starbucks? I'd demand quite a few non-fat cappuccinos. And banana walnut pancakes. And cinnamin coffee cake. And some fresh cantaloup and mango. And raspberries. And some granola. Maybe some yoplait yogurt...

    Wait a minute... am I turning into a diva too?

    Unfortunately, I am addicted to the Starbucks low-fat blueberry coffee cake. I probably would ask for about ten pounds of that.

    well, if i was to go completely over the top...
    I'd demand a private room with a flatscreen tv with basic cable and a refridgerator stocked with Coca cola and Publix premium chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. I too would order buffalo wings with a hint of a sweet tasting sauce ON THE SIDE. And Of course I'd need two to three town cars for my own entourage, and sound system that has the audio to Mean Girls playing on a loop. And some lavender scented candles. Yep. that should do it.

    She forgot about how she wanted a big bowl of M&Ms, but only the green ones, cause she's too cool to eat the yellow ones.

    I heard it was her agent that made all those requests. Not her. They said she didn't find out about it til later.

    non-fat lattes and blueberry pancakes with lots of maple syrup. And some fresh fruit, maybe a banana and some raspberries. If I were famous I'd get really fat!! And that's BS that she pinned the blame on her agent, Jennifer is such a diva wannabe you totally know she requested all that sh*t.

    A ham and cheese croissant from Tartine, a double latte (NOT from Starbucks), raspberries, a manicurist, pedicurist, a psychic and a massage therapist. (While we're being outlandish...)

    She needs new peoples if they are demanding all of these things for her. Kudos to her talent but when does that make you unappreciative of just having a gig to go to? There are countless other divas who would give up the sequined dresses and false eyelashes for another go at it. JHud's people need to get a reality check!
