Britney Spears tour demands revealed
Thursday 7 May 2009
According to CBS News, an employee at the Dorchester hotel where the singer will stay during her eight-date run at the O2 arena has handed over details of her requests.
Among the star's reported wishes are a room that has never been smoked in, humidifiers in all areas, 100 watt bulb lighting and a selection of fresh flowers that she will arrange herself.
Digitalspy reports that she has also allegedly asked for a variety of the latest magazines, DVDs featuring Marilyn Monroe and a selection of topical, chick-lit books.
Running routes through nearby Hyde Park and horse riding opportunities are also thought to have been requested, along with a selection of different routes from the hotel to the arena in order to keep the paparazzi away.
The employee added that Spears will be bringing her own pillows for comfort, security will sleep outside her hotel door and she wants tickets for various West End shows and a private visit to Kensington Palace.
Spears is scheduled to arrive in London next month ahead of her opening show on 3 June.

- House
Can you believe it? It's the last ever episode of House. Eight seasons of medical conundrums, acerbic wit, questionable managerial style, drug addictions, psychiatric help, ill-fated romances, plus a prison sentence to boot, resulted in Dr Gregory House becoming one of TV's most memorable characters. The role nabbed Hugh Laurie a brace of Golden Globes plus a slate of Emmy nominations, catapulting the former Blackadder star to meteoric fame. At its peak, House was watched by 81.8 million people in 66 countries. Fittingly titled 'Everybody Dies' to bookend the 2004 pilot 'Everybody Lies', this emotional final prescription sees House examine his life and personal demons as he treats a drug-addicted patient (guest star James LeGros). Plus, former stars Jennifer Morrison, Olivia Wilde and Amber Tamblyn return; as does Kal Penn, who resumes his role as Kutner, the man who took his own life in Season Five. Dr Greg, we salute you!
