7. Barbara Streisand
As one of the first divas, Barbara Streisand has had time to cultivate her divadom to ensure her a rightful place on the Most Difficult Divas Of All Time list. A rumour involving Barbra Streisand suggests that she once presented a hotel with a roster of ridiculous demands, which included stipulations that no oysters be in her room at any time, that every square inch of her hotel room and bathroom be carpeted and that the head of her bed be elevated a specific number of degrees off the ground. If the bed couldn't be propped up, she wanted her very own chief engineer (what? people have personal engineers?!) to come in and do it himself.
The crazy doesn't stop there. According to This Is London Barbra Streisand demanded rose petals in the toilet, peach-colored tissues, and 120 designer bath towels in peach toobecause they matched her complexion. She also required 10 specific designer lamps, and requested that the hotels security team wear dark sweaters. It has been rumoured that she has also given instructions to the staff at the MGM Grand hotel to enter and leave the stars room backwards, so as not to look directly at her.
