Gnarls Barkley Plays it Safe

Posted Aug 17th 2006 11:50AM by TMZ Staff

Gnarls Barkley, the duo of DJ Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo, have one of the top breakout hits of the year in "Crazy." But, one thing is for sure, the Gnarls boys are not crazy when it comes to risking STDs. The boys explicitly request a 12 pack of Magnum condoms for one of their concert dressing rooms. That's right, along with being supplied with 4 Star accommodations and first class air travel, these singing sensations don't even have to make a pre-show trip to the drug store.

The condoms are part of an eclectic list of supplies they must be furnished for a show, including PB&J, cigars, Snickers minis, Grey Goose, Jack Daniels, Red Bull and clean socks. According to the Smoking Gun, Gnarls Barkley are not the only "safety" artists out there. 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes also specifically request jimmy hats for their backstage areas.

The group's demand list may go even higher if they bring home some Moon Men from this year's MTV Video Music Awards. The video for Crazy is up for Best Group Video, Best Direction, and Best Editing. Who knows, maybe they'll be so excited if they win that they'll spring for their own condoms!

2. I thought Cee-Lo Green was married and had a daughter... I saw him on MTV cribs a while back. If that is still the case... all I have to say is W-R-O-N-G!

3. C-Lo is married. I bet his wife would like to know about the condoms. Who knows, she might already.

5. Maybe the condoms are for his wife? LOL!! Who cares? Maybe they're for the roadies? Whatev!! Losers!!

I just wish they would stop lying about their name. They know they named themselves after Charles Barkley. It's sooo annoying when people lie.

12. Ok I may be be crazy (no pun intinded) but there dose'nt seem to be a lot of people talking about the music here and I don't know if any one of these post are from someone who really knows these guys up close and personal. thats cool though,I always like sites that let people express their feelings. My thing though it's a refreshing sound sorta got a retrothing going easy to dance to good for people with no rythem like myself. I am happy though we have a right to our opinion . what if the guy that invented penicillin was pimp would we find out and not use the drug any more, or worse yet what if people found out long ago and said we don't want your ideas pal !!!
