Famous Celebrity Scars

We feel really bad about the source Tina Fey's scar, but she's got plenty of support from the celebrity community. Let's take a look at some of the most famous facial scars and their origins.

Harrison Ford's famous chin scar has been such a trademark for the actor, that in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the young adventurer cut his chin with a bullwhip. The truth is that the scar is the product of a car accident. Ford was supposedly trying to buckle his seat belt while driving. The real Indy wouldn't bother with the seat belt, he'd just punch the passenger.

Both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Elizabeth Taylor share a similar attribute: the tracheotomy scar across their necks. They would be hard to spot as both actresses tend to wear large necklaces to cover the marks. The procedure is performed when the airway is obstructed. Zeta-Jones had her procedure done when she was a child because of a sickness. Taylor had her trach in 1960, when she had pneumonia.

Soul singer Seal's scars have been the subject of speculation. The urban legend goes that the scars that cover his face are tribal scarring, but they are in fact a result of discoid lupus that he suffered from as a child.

Despite the rumors Joachim Phoenix's scar is not the product of a harelip, he was born with it. Phoenix has said in interviews his mother felt pains during her pregnancy and wondered if the scar was a result. Some doctors have speculated that he may have had a harelip before his birth, but his upper lip came together in the womb causing the scar.

While it's no longer visible, Paul McCartney has a scar on his upper lip. The scar helped spread the "Paul is Dead" urban legend, but the mark is really the result of a motorcycle accident. The accident occurred shortly before the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, which caused the self conscious musician to grow a mustache for the album cover. The rest of the band grew some facial hair in support.

Howard Hughes's trademark mustache was to cover up the scar on his upper lip. He got the scar in 1946 in a near fatal plane crash. He was flying the experimental XF-11 over California when he lost control. He crashed the plane in a Beverly Hills neighborhood, ramming through three houses. He suffered a broken collarbone, 24 broken ribs and third-degree burns. He wore a mustache for the rest of his life to cover the scar.

Speaking of class and elegance...

In a move that shocked no one except the lemmings living under a rock (OK, no one), US Magazine has confirmed that Adrienne Bailon (the Cheetah Girl recently involved in the latest "laptop stolen/nudie pix posted" imbroglio) and her "publicist" (Dirt Web blogger) Jonathan Jaxson leaked the story that racy shots were stolen from her laptop "purely to get attention."

In an interview with a local CBS affiliate, Jaxson confirmed they made up the scandal "to juice" things up. Added Jaxson (who helped Kim Kardashian through her own nude pic drama): "What better way to do that than to say that nude pictures could have been stolen from her laptop?"

Now, as anyone who knows me (either personally, or by following my writings for the past ten years) knows, I have ZERO tolerance for idiots, attention whores, skanks, and groupies of all shapes and sizes. I despise these weak, unintelligent people with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. Mere words cannot express how enraged I get when people, and especially women -- lacking in all other forms of intelligence and talent -- sell whatever meager dignity they have in the name of "fame," regardless of how tonsorial.

Obviously, this is the only way Adrienne Bailon can get attention. Apparently, the thought of her getting a JOB like the rest of us mere mortals never crossed whatever vestigal appendage passes for her "mind."

Adrienne Bailon deserves a special form of punishment because she went ON PUBLIC RECORD stating that a crime had been committed, and she had every intention of prosecuting the "offender." Well, newsflash, kiddo: filing false charges is AGAINST THE LAW in every state (and in some states, it's considered a FELONY). Not that you have anything to worry about in the prosecution department...I'm just saying...

It constantly amazes me how some people have absolutely no common sense, no sense of decency and no sense of how something like this will stigmatize them for the rest of their lives. Not that anyone EVER looked to this shameless moron as a fountain of wisdom, but now, Adrienne Bailon will NEVER be taken seriously.

Congratulations, Adrienne: you've been branded as an attention whore, and everything you do from this moment on will be marginalized. No matter what you do for the rest of your life, you'll always be thought of as that attention whore who lied to everyone to get a little bit of attention for a few days. I hope it was worth it, you idiot.

Katy Perry vs. Miley Cyrus

Dude, we are seriously losing interest in Miley Cyrus and the stupid high school drama queen that she is becoming lately. First, her YouTube video ragging on other Disney tween stars and now her lack of sense of humor with Katy Perry, 23.

Katy Perry joked in a recent interview that she was hoping to do her own version of the infamous Madonna lesbian kiss with Miley Cyrus at the upcoming Teen Choice Awards.

"Maybe we'll have another Britney-Madonna moment on stage," Perry joked. "How hilarious would that be? Although I don't think it would help her career. However, it would definitely help mine!"

Miley then came back and told E!, "No thanks. She sang on my record. So I think she's kind of getting back at me, because she was doing harmonies and backgrounds."

She said that?!?! Perry had worked with Cyrus on her new album, Breakout. When Katy Perry was told about what Miley said, she told PerezHilton.com, "6 weeks in a row at number one." Good for her, we are totally Team Katy on this one! The 2008 Teen Choice Awards will air August 4th on Fox. Guess we'll have to watch it to find out if the kiss ever goes down!

Perry's song, I Kissed A Girl is the #1 song in America yet again - for the 6th straight week - Miley's newest single 7 Things is already dropping at radio. Who does this 15 year-old girl think she is? We think Miley needs to lighten up, what are your thoughts? Team Miley or Team Katy? Be honest!

Celebrity Insurance Policies

If you're going to cut off one of Heidi Klum's legs I suggest you go for the right. That's because in her $2.2 million insurance policy that covers her legs, the right is insured for $1.2 million and the left, due to a scar, only for $1 million.

Heidi's insurance policy may sound a bit outrageous, but more and more celebrities have policies that cover their trademark features.

J. Lo. takes the cake. It's been rumored the singer/actress has a $600 million policy covering her. Her policy is said to protect her booty for $400 million and her breasts for $200 million.

Celebrities insuring their... features is not something new. Marlane Dietrich had her voice insured for a meager million, the same amount Betty Garble insured her legs for - coining the phrase "million dollar legs." Fred Astaire had a slightly smaller policy: only $75,000 per leg.

Body parts seem to have the most policies, with legs coming in the lead, but there are the exceptions. Dolly Parton has her 42-inch breasts insured for $600,000.

There are insurance policies less inspired by vanity. Many celebrities have practical insurance policies that cover their money makers. Liberace had and Keith Richards still has insurance policies on their hands.

Like Bruce Springsteen's voice? Well you'll be glad to know that it's covered for $6 million. And Rod Stewart would cash in on his policy should his scratchy voice ever become clear.

There are some strange policies out there too. British food critic Egon Ronay insured his taste buds for $400,000 and cricket player Merv Hughes took out a £200,000 policy on his mustache.

Celebrities mourn for Heath Ledger

In the wake of Heath Ledger's sudden death on Tuesday, some of his friends in the entertainment industry publicly mourned him.

Actress Cate Blanchett, who co-starred with Ledger in I'm Not There:
- "I deeply respect Heath’s work and always admired his continuing development as an artist. My thoughts are with his family and close friends."

Model Helena Christensen to Women's Wear Daily:
- "He was such a special and genuine person, so extraordinarily talented because he was so raw and honest with his feelings... He was so full of life, so electric."

Actor/director Mel Gibson, who starred in The Patriot with Ledger:
- "I had such great hope for him... He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."

Singer Josh Groban at the Sundance Film Festival:
- "Heath was an actor who always amazed me — somebody I believed always had such life left in him."

Actor Lukas Haas, who was in Alpha Dog with Ledger, to FOX:
- "He truly was a great, great actor who I have known and admired for sometime... I am in total shock — it certainly has put a damper on the [Sundance Film] festival."

I'm Not There director Todd Haynes (this was the last film released starring Ledger prior to his death):
- "Ledger had a bit of James Dean in him and now Ledger, like Dean, has died young - just as he was trying to find his place in the film industry."

Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee in a statement:
- "Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life... He brought to the role of Ennis [Del Mar] more than any of us could have imagined – a thirst for life, for love, and for truth, and a vulnerability that made everyone who knew him love him. His death is heartbreaking."

Actress Nicole Kidman in a statement:
- "What a tragedy. My heart goes out to his family."

Actor Josh Lucas at the Sundance Film Festival:
- "All I'll say is, I send total love to the family. It's too painful for me."

Actor/producer William H. Macy at the Sundance Film Festival:
- "It is so upsetting — it's a huge loss and my heart goes out to his wife and kid... I think great talent comes coupled with great demons."

Actress Rachel McAdams on her myspace page:
- "My heart goes out to Heath's family and friends during this time of great loss. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back and I can definitely say he had a wonderful career ahead of him. Undeniable talent and a loving new father. It's so tragic to see it all end so soon and sudden."

Actress Bijou Phillips at the Sundance Film Festival:
- "Brad Renfro also died this week, who I did three movies with... It's just crazy. Two young, really talented actors die in their sleep in the same week? It's just not cool. I don't know what's going on, but it's got to stop."

Actor Jason Ritter at the Sundance Film Festival:
- "He should be proud of the legacy he left behind... [Ledger] seemed to make acting choices with integrity; he didn't seem to just take the big movies with the big bucks. He took movies that challenged him as an actor, he did a fantastic job, and he seemed like a really great guy as well."

Actor Geoffrey Rush, who starred in Candy with Ledger:
- "This is such a sad event. I admired Heath enormously... He was such a sensitive and committed and daring actor. This is truly a tragedy. I send my condolences to his family and friends and colleagues."

Actress Charlize Theron to entertainment site ET.com
- "It's really, really sad. I hope his family is okay. I wish them the best."

Actor John Travolta at the G'day USA/Walk on the Wildside event:
- "He's touched me deeply as a talent and it's a great loss... Losing him at any age would be a loss but it was pretty rough news. I was really shocked by it... I would give back all my awards to have him back."
