Hollywierd.....Insurance.

You would assume that insurance should be for medical, health or dental purposes or even your car! But if you have fame and fortune, it’s another story. Celebrities hold dear their private assets (a.k.a. body parts) so much so that they are willing to seal the deal with lucrative insurance policies worth up to $1 billion! Check out the 8 celebrities who took out (or should take out) these exorbitant policies. Some may surprise you:

Mariah Carey – Legs, $1 billion

Singer Mariah Carey wasn’t kidding around with dealers when she agreed to a $1 billion insurance policy on her legs. They’re the same legs she showcased via Gillette’s “Legs of a Goddess” advertisement in 2006.

America Ferrera – Smile, $10 million

Didn’t know smile insurance exists? Well, its does when you’re America Ferrera and the star of the television show, ‘Ugly Betty.’ It may be the wackiest deal ever made but a smile can be worth a thousand words when you’re the Beaver for Colgate Herbal. But if you are Ferrera, it is worth $10m. The company enlisted an insurance deal for $10 million on her bright smile. And it may pay off for her in the long run. Her folks named her America? I will name my child Madagascar.

Tina Turner– Legs, $3.2 million


The international singer tours like a world-class traveler, but touring comes at a price. No one’s legs are as important as Tina Turner’s legs. If something were to happen, her assets are covered for $3.2 million. She is 69 years of age and looks like that? wow!

Jennifer Lopez – Booty, $27 million


Jenny from the block or what we like to call her, J.Lo, is known for her bum more than her music. She has inspired other females to get a little junk in their trunk or booty enhancements to fill out their figure. So, we can understand (kind of) her $27 mil booty insurance expense. Gotta wonder, how does her toilet seat look like, better still, how mush is it worth? Remember when her ex hubby Ben Afleck bought her a diamond and emerald studded toilet seat? Hmmmm!!! I guess that's why her diab costs that much.

Rihanna – Legs, $1 million

Starlet musician Rihanna has a daring personality packed with sex appeal. Her legs have got $1 million worth of security. Hopefully those bodyguards can keep them safe too! She should have insured her face before Chris Breezy sorted it out when she was slapped senseless.

Angelina Jolie – Body, $1 billion


Angelina Jolie owns a killer body and lucrative deals. But what many may not know is that the mother of six has a policy out on her body for $1 billion in case it becomes disfigured during her career. And her African looking lips?

Sherri Shepherd – (Bust) $ 1 Million



Comedienne and “The View” co-host, Sherri Shepherd has expressed fondness for her bust on the show. Why not take out an insurance policy on them for precautionary measures, Madame Shepherd? She did, $1m dollars for each boob.

Beyonce – (Body)


Beyonce has natural beauty and curves that deserve some insurance, darn it! Breakdown: Face $10m, Neck $2m, Arms $3m for each, Waistline $2m, Hips $3m per hip, Booty $30m, Thighs $7m for each. Total: $63m

There are many others and I wonder why I do not have any info on male celebs...I guess the dudes just do not care for vanity, I mean if you are a sinf=ger and you insure your voice then hey, that is acceptable or if you are a movie star and you have landed a role that needs you to grow fat like a pig then slim down right after, acceptable but these other trivial issues, while there is still hunger in the wolrd? PAAALEASE.
