Celebrities make all sorts of crazy requests when they travel, but if you believe this one, it's an all-timer - even for the crazy celebrity in question here.

A Dublin, Ireland hotel is said to have refused to install a stripper pole for Britney Spears recently, costing them the (dis)pleasure of her patronage.

An Irish newspaper says she canceled her booking after the hotel denied to provide a custom steel pole in her suite for the brief stay in the country.

A source reveals that to maintain her top form, Britney Spears "likes to have the pole on hand." Funny, that's what K-Fed used to say about her ...

"A request was made to Britney's hotel to see if they could install a pole there during her stay there, but they refused point blank," says a source.

"They're well used to having major celebrities stay there and they're happy to accommodate them, but this was just a step too far for them."

Britney's high-maintenance requests are nothing new. But, fortunately, she won't have to settle for working the pole with Jason Trawick alone.

Another hotel has given in to the singer's request.

Spears will be staying for four nights at the Four Seasons Hotel, which ostensibly acquiesced to her demands for the stripper's steel BFF.
