"When I die I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, camera, action. I want craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don't want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying in five different accents. I don't want a eulogy. I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing "Mr lonely". I want to look gorgeous better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing better than Beyonce's," she wrote in her 2012 book, I hate everyone....including me.
