Mariah Carey denied request for 20 kittens
Many stars are known for their outrageous requests on set. I read once that someone demanded bowls of M&M's but with one of the colors removed. Anwyay. Pop star Mariah Carey wanted her appearance at a London shopping center opening to include 20 kittens -- all white ones.
According to this report, the mall management turned her down, saying no animals were allowed on the property. And, um, maybe it wasn't such a good idea anyway?

Janis Ian describes the story behind the M&M's as being a benchmark for artists (and others) to gauge compliance with the more important clauses in the contract with the many venues and promoters they will see when on tour.
If the promoter is willing to see the silly things attended to then (it is judged) they are more likely to attend to the substantive matters as well.
Janis is a terrific writer btw and her articles can be read (in pdf now) by visiting her site www.janisian.com.

the m&m's were van halen in 82 or 83. as mentioned above, if they saw a brown m&m, they were not certain the promoter handled sound, lighting, etc properly
