...is it? :eek  :eek  :eek

Tom Jones reportedly insures chest hair for $7 mil

I honestly don't understand the attraction.  :confused  We might both be Welsh...but he has always creeped me out.

Given that he is 67, this also begs the question:  do they make Grecian Formula For Chest Hair?  :stupid  :laugh

He needs some serious manscaping on his chest, I think that the long ass hair on a mans chest went out about the same time leg warmers on women did???  :D

Hey wait a minute!

If you were a member of the Tom Jones fan club......and it's Sir Thomas Jones Woodward to you commoners, you'd know that ...
..."The story published in the Daily Mirror (UK) on Feb 5 is completely fabricated.  No such insurance policy exists or has ever been considered.  We assume this is just the Mirror having a bit of fun and hope no one takes this kind of 'reporting' seriously."


By the way, my wife tells me that he's been married to the same woman all these years......now that's willpower!  :D

Yes, but I imagine the cost of her insurance went down. :D

Dang, guess I forgot to renew my membership... :rolleyes  :laugh

That's why I said *reportedly*....it's hilarious either way.  I thought it was funny that business news reporters jumped all over it.  There must have been a moment of lapse in the continuous Britney coverage that let them squeeze the story in.

Lloyds insures body parts so it's not that farfetched...especially with Tom Jones.  Some overzealous fan may leap on stage and rip out a fistful of chest hair! :eek  :D

I did some digging and you are sooo right! Lloyds of London insures all kinds of body parts:

http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/insur/20020410a.asp

Marlene Dietrich insured her voice for a cool $1 million, and Betty Grable insured her dynamite legs for the same amount -- thus coining the phrase "million-dollar legs."

And sometimes, gender is irrelevant. One of the oddest examples of celebrity insurance came when a 24-year-old Thai transvestite performer named Poh was told her breast implants could explode at high altitude if she flew to an appearance in Edinburgh. The implants were therefore insured for $500,000.

Bruce Springsteen has a legendary policy on his for somewhere in the $6 million range, and Rod Stewart has insured his scrubbed-with-steel-wool pipes as well.

A British performer known as Mr. Methane sought coverage against the loss of his "talent," which consisted of performing standards such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "How Much is That Doggy in the Window?" using his naturally-produced gases.

He was refused.


:laugh

Don't forget Fred Astaire's legs, J-Lo's butt, Keith Richards' fingers, Liberace's hands...hmmm, I wonder if male porn stars insure themselves against the dreaded ED? :eek  :laugh

Exploding breast implants?  YIKES! :jawdrop

My Dad used to work with Lloyds...but I don't think he ever had to deal with these issues. :p
