Some like it hot at MTV Awards

Lady Gaga has requested her dressing room be kept at 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius) at tonight's MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast.

The eccentric singer – who is due to perform at the glamorous event at the Odyssey Arena – has asked the backstage area be extremely warm, and also has a stash of honey ready to help her keep her vocal chords in top condition.

Upon arriving in Belfast, the 25-year-old star immediately sent her personal assistant out to get some other goods, including two espresso machines and china cups, an item Lady Gaga is often seen carrying while out and about.

Taio Cruz has also been announced as a performer on the show, and in rehearsals was seen working with French DJ David Guetta, best known for his hits with Kelly Rowland and Nicki Minaj.

Other requests including Ciroq Vodka and Tequila for party band LMFAO, and Justin Bieber – whose girlfriend Selena Gomez is presenting the show – has asked for 12 bottles of vitamin water in both purple and red.

Performers at the eagerly-anticipated event include Jessie J, Coldplay and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
