For many celebrities, an appearance on The Simpsons is one of the highest accolades imaginable. A trip to Springfield is often viewed as a sign that you've made it as a pop culture icon and some famous folk are probably better remembered for their time on the show than for anything they've achieved in the real world.
That being said, sometimes celebrity guests aren't just happy to turn up, record their lines, and go home; some have their own terms and conditions before they allow themselves to get Simpson-ized. Some have legitimate reasons for making their demands and some... well, let's just use the word "diva" and leave it there.
Some of these demands had very little impact on the show itself, but some of them actually did impact the plot of the episode. One change was so big that that it made a permanent change to the show's continuity, which happens in The Simpsons about as often as Mr. Burns donates to the local orphanage.
Regardless of their effect on the show, the following ten examples are reminders than even Simpsons writers aren't immune to the sway of celebrity.
