Jennifer Love Hewitt recently made headlines for announcing she would consider insuring her breasts for $5 million. She mentioned this jokingly in an interview, but there are many other stars who take their bodies (and insurance) very seriously.

You probably remember Jamie Lee Curtis and her famous legs being insured for roughly $2 million back in the '90s, but that big policy didn't start the trend either. Comedian Jimmy Durante insured his famous nose back in 1940 for a reported $50,000 - a huge amount back then.

From the expected (Dolly Parton's breasts) to the completely insane (a musician's sperm), see some of the famous body parts that have been covered by insurance policies in the List at the top of this article.
