Concert riders reveal what performers like to eat

(NEWSER) - Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez certainly aren't the only divas in Hollywood: Nicki Minaj's concert rider, recently revealed in a magazine interview, show that she has some pretty involved backstage demands as well. Those include three 12-piece buckets of spicy fried chicken, no thighs, and scented candles smelling like baked goods, the Daily Mail reports. The Huffington Post rounds up the food requests of 13 other celebrities:

• Jordin Sparks: The American Idol alum only wants healthy food, including a jar of kosher pickle spears.
• Lady Gaga: Her rider doesn't demand food at all, just beverages including Red Bull.

Eminem bound to score at Sunday's awards show

(NEWSER) - The Grammys are Sunday, and it’s inevitable that you won’t agree with the winners in every category. In Entertainment Weekly , Leah Greenblatt and Simon Vozick-Levinson let us know who will win … versus who should win:

• Album of the Year: Eminem will win for Recovery, but Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs “is an album in the truest sense, not a haphazard collection of singles and filler.”
• Record of the Year: Eminem will take it home again, for "Love the Way You Lie" with Rihanna. But “Nothin’ on You” by B.o.B and Bruno Mars “is the most perfect pop tune of the bunch.”
• Song of the Year: Lady Antebellum can finally snag a win in this category for “Need You Now.” Fair enough, since it’s “both ubiquitous and beloved across genres,” but “how fun would it be to watch a presenter open that envelope and announce Cee Lo's 'F*** You' to an audience of millions?”

1. Train, “Hey, Soul Sister”: Inexplicably, this was the only “rock” song to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 this year. That’s “pretty much proof that rock music is dead, right?”
2. Bret Michaels, “What I Got”: Really, Bret? “Covering a Sublime song is a bad look for even the most bottom-dwelling of local bands.”
