What It Is: Many celebrities have demands while they're on tour.  A few of Mariah Carey's demands are: cases of Cristal champagne, a box of bendy straws and one special attendant to dispose of used chewing gum.
Rihanna demands: 24 buffalo wings (hot sauce on the side), 1 whole roasted chicken spiced with jerk seasoning cut into parts with steamed white rice.   She also asks for 1 bag of good quality tortilla chips and 1 small bag of plantain chips (salted).
As for her "comfort" demands. . . a "White, Cloth, Plush (No leather)" six-foot couch and animal print throw pillows ("Cheetah, Leopard") cannot have sequins.
This is hilarious!  What are some demands you'd have?!

What It Is: Last night Oprah aired her highly anticipated special, "Oprah's Favorite Things" and not only did she reveal hrr fave things like puffy coats, sparkley totes and her dogs, but she also surprised military families with a trip of a lifetime.  She told them she was going to give them an all expense paid trip to Fiji!  Check out the clip below:

What It Is: Ja Rule can get back to work earlier than expected.  It looks like he could be released from prison February 16th, 2013.
This would be four months earlier than anticipated all because of good behavior.
He was sentenced to two years for gun posession and tax evasion.
Nice job, Ja!

What It Is: In the past, the American Idol judges have received some criticism over how "nice" they have been, of course taking Simon Cowell out of the equation.
But Nicki Minaj claims she was the complete opposite . . . perhaps too tough on the contestants.
She says, "It's hard for me to not say how I really feel.   I'm having a hard time with how honest I am sometimes.  Everyone else is so nice.
"I was just thinking back about some things, and thinking 'I wonder if that was not nice.' . . . As an artist, I've always grown more from the tougher criticism . . . I'd like to give people that thick skin [to] really give it their all.  It IS a competition."
Season 12 kicks off January 16th, 2013.
