DAILY DIRT: Jennifer Lopez’s insurance policy could make her the butt of some jokes

Daily Dirt for Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024

And it would probably be safe to say Dolly Parton’s insurance policy could be considered double trouble … Welcome to today’s three thoughts that make up Vol. 1,130 of The Daily Dirt.

1. When it comes to insuring things, most of us likely consider our house and vehicle near the top of any such list.

Not so much, however, with the modern movie, music and athletic stars. Here’s a sampling of what just a few of the most familiar names in the news are insuring these days:

• Jennifer Lopez has insured her … umm, backside … for a whopping $28 million.
• Singer Dolly Parton has insured her breasts for $600,000.
• Mariah Carey has insured her legs and voice for a combined $70 million.
• Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has insured his legs for $144 million.
• Singer Christina Aguilera has insured her vocal chords for $10 million.
• Singer Taylor Swift has insured her legs for $40 million.
• Actress Julia Roberts has insured her smile for $30 million.
• Bruce Springsteen has insured his gravelly voice for $6 million.
• KISS guitar player Gene Simmons has insured his tongue for $1 million.
• Rolling Stones guitar player Keith Richards has insured his hands for $1.6 million.
• Former Pittsburgh Steelers player and current TV commercial star Troy Polamalu has insured his hair for $1 million.
• Former 007 secret agent Daniel Craig has his body insured for $9.5 million.

If this were one of The Daily Dirt’s medal-worthy accounts, I’ll give you one guess who gets the gold.

2. Did you know (Part 205)

• That Americans, on the average, eat 23 pounds of pizza per year. (Mushroom and pepperoni, please.)
