Pop singer Janet Jackson insists on drinking water only from Fiji Islands.
Pop singer Janet Jackson insists on drinking water only from Fiji Islands.
Singer Janet Jackson has upped the ante on diva demands. She stunned the bosses of a UK-based radio station by insisting that she be served only chilled spring water from Fiji.
According to a UK tabloid, she apparently sent a lackey to the studios of the radio station an hour before she was due to record, to place water bottles in the canteen fridge.
Later, when she arrived, she demanded that her staff check the water with a thermometer to ensure that it was of the right temperature before she could sip it.
"It was simply unbelievable, the lengths she went for a cold glass of water. She insisted that the water was 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 water from a Fijian spring is hard to figure out. It was hilarious watching her staff make such a fuss," said an eyewitness.
