25 Celebrities with Insured Bodyparts

What’s a limb worth? Well, if it’s yours or mine, probably nothing. If it belongs to a celebrity it might be worth millions. Many celebrities with “notable” body parts insure them just in case they lose a leg or a boob in an accident.

What makes me laugh is most of these people are millionaires several times over. So someone loses a breast or a finger, it’s not like they’ll have to stand on the welfare line any time soon. If one of Dolly Parton’s breasts explode, will that $600,000 really make much of a difference? And if Bruce Springsteen loses his voice, will a few  million make it all better? No, they’ll retire, write books about their ordeals and appear on Oprah. It’s all good.

Oh and contrary to popular reports, Jennifer Lopez didn’t insure her butt.
