One like this, perhaps?

So maybe Rosie O'Donnell does want a helicopter to take her to and from work.

Show folk make all kinds of demands in their contracts. Amy Winehouse for some reason needs 40 towels at every gig. Joan Rivers requires a fully licensed limo and driver at her disposal from arrival to departure and limo has to be a Lincoln or stretch caddy. Carrot Top? Six pairs of new white athletic crew socks.

On the other end is Reba...who just requires a six-pack of Diet Coke, two cans of caffeine-free Sprite and cloth napkins. She's a simple gal. These gems and so many others can be found at TheSmokinggun.com

If I had the upper hand in contract negotiations, I would require that a live marching band accompany my three limos to and from gigs; that staff greet me as "Your Exalted Excellency" while bowing slightly; and that Wolfgang Puck be flown in on my private jet if and when I get the munchies.

Kinda makes Rosie's demands for helicopter look modest, don't ya think? ;-)

at least she doesn't demand midget strippers like some performers (coughKIDROCKcough).

also, isn't ALL sprite caffeine-free? way to get 'em, Reba.
