A LEAKED rider from Katy Perry’s camp reveals she needs someone to wash and cut fresh fruits and veggies before every show. She’s not alone.

Does Katy Perry really get people to cut up her fruit?

DIVAS may be suffering in their album sales, but those lows are certainly not slowing up the demands they make on tour.
