NEW YORK (CNN) -- When it comes to following the celebrity paper trail, nobody does it better than a pair of New Yorkers who post anything involving famous people on their Web site, from police reports to tax returns to contracts.

Bill Bastone and Dan Green don't just dig up the dirt, they dig up the quirky and place it on their Web site, The Smoking Gun.

What do the Backstreet Boys demand in their dressing room at concerts? What's in the confidentiality agreement Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman require their employees to sign?

What singer requires her dressing room catering to include items such as Carnation Instant Breakfast mix, soy cheese snacks, a small bottle of Flintstones Vitamins with extra vitamin C, and chocolate chip or Oreo cookies?

"Some of the demands are so kooky, it ends up making the performers look fairly dopey, and we're always up for that," Bastone said.

Watch as CNN's Jeanne Moos makes the most of an award-winning Web site.
