Eminem requests a wooden pond backstage

[babyjane]

WTF! Why?

The BBC got back stage access to the VIP area where the guests will be staying.

There are dressing rooms with bean bags and draped walls.
wooden pond at tennent's vital for eminen Eminem asked for a wooden pond on his 'rider'

There is an outside area with garden furniture and a specially constructed wooden pond for expensive fish to go into, apparently at the request of Eminem, such requests are known as a 'rider' in the business.

I guess he needs some peace and tranquility before he goes on. Maybe he meditates.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh

[EG.]

. This is the rider he requested at Pukkelpop (found it in a magazine so don't know if it's legit but I think it is)
- no alcohol
- lots of water (no Evian)
- diet Coke
- Schweppes
- Red bull
- Gundelsheim Pickels
- light yoghurt
- shrimps
- fresh meat

I'm surprised he didn't request a treadmill.

Sometimes I wonder if Em is diabetic.. All he drinks has to be diet..

C'Mon, this is UK press... this is probably made up.

Whenever we're short of news here, or even when we're not (apparently famine, war, evil capitalism and homicides aren't enough) our papers make up something about the biggest celebrities at the time.

WHY NOT USE YOUR TIME TO PRODUCE SOME RECORD INSTEAD OF REQUESTING A WOODEN POND BACKSTAGE?

Maybe he meditates.

Inb4 he mentions it in a song

I know there's som shit that I shouldn't done
popped pills, fucked bitches, and getting that wooden pond!

The article states the pond is used to keep the fish fresh. Idk it doesn't seem like such a bad request, he just doesn't like old fish lol.

Even if anyone cares I will explain why I think this.

- He only drinks diet coke, diet Redbull.
- He wanted pickles.. why pickles? Because it has no sugar in it and diabetics can eat it whenever they want. (You can't eat whatever you want when you're diabetic.)
- Light yoghurt.. Well it seems logic. Still no sugar and shit.
- Fresh meat, well meat is good.

I am diabetic and I can relate to this list since it's almost all I eat/drink when I have a quick hunger. I don't know, maybe he's just making his own diet.

You could be right. Or maybe he doesn't want to get fat? Do you have to inject yourself with insuline?

[flyingmonkey10]

probably requested it to piss in it
