Cosby's Contract

Entertainer Bill Cosby has a number of unusual clauses in his performance contract.  First, you can't advertise his concerts in either the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, or the Boston Globe.  Second, you've got to make sure his toilet has high-quality bathroom tissue, "Cottonelle or equivalent.  Third, you've got to provide him with the shirt he'll wear -- he'll give you the specifications.  Fourth, you're obligated to make sure in advance you know where the nearest Starbuck's is so you can get the correct latte in the shortest possible time.  Sixth, you've got to get him a "Presidential Suite quality" room to stay in.  Here are excepts from his contract rider.
