9 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias

August 29, 2014 By Fred Mitchell Leave a Comment

Nobody’s perfect, that’s what they say. But we would expect celebrities to be trendsetters as far as courage and balance are concerned. Building a phobia takes a lot of irrational effort doubled by traumatic experiences. And celebrities make no exception. So let’s take a look at 9 celebrities and their strange phobias.

1. Oprah Winfrey’s fear of chewing gum

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias1

Oprah Winfrey has a fear of chewing gum. She explained her grandmother used to chew a lot of gum, and then put it into the cabinet. She said that there were several rows of Spearmint and Juicy Fruit she was terribly afraid of. Over time, Oprah started to hate the sound of chewing gum and the way people would play with it or pull it from their mouths. It even got to the point where she banned it from the building where her shows are recorded.

2. Megan Fox’s fear of paper

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias2

Megan Fox is afraid of dry paper and dreads handling anything that is not laminated. The 28-year old even keeps water nearby so she can wet her fingers when handling or flipping pages.

3. David Beckham’s ataxiophobia – fear of mess or untidiness

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias3

For Beckham, surrounding objects must be well chosen by color, form and size and their quantity must be oddly even. When David buys clothes, he chooses ones to suit his home interior. When there are 3 cans of Coke in the fridge, instead of 2 or 4, he loses his temper.

4. Alfred Hitchcock’s fear of eggs

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias4

Hitchcock, the maestro of horrors, was really afraid of eggs. He never ate them and hated to be close to anything that resembled them. Otherwise he felt badly, and all in all thought eggs to be hateful towards him, not the other way around.

5. Matthew McConaughey’s fear of being trapped and blind spots

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias5

Despite his being so manly and tough, Matthew McConaughey reportedly suffers from a fear of being trapped – cleithrophobia and a fear of blind spots –scotomaphobia. This has manifested itself into a fear of revolving doors and tunnel entrances.

6.Sigmund Freud’s fear of weapons and ferns

Sigmund Freud

The founder of psychoanalysis feared weapons and ferns. Freud claimed that fear of weapons is a sign of late emotional and sexual maturity. On the other hand, the fear of fems can hardly be explained. Freud himself offered no explanations.

7. Woody Allen’s numerous fears 🙂

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias7

Woody Allen fears insects, sunlight, dogs, deer, bright colors, children, height, small rooms, crowds and all places in the world except for Manhattan, probably. His movie characters are a perfect reflection of all these fears, but I suppose they add up to his charm and talent don’t they?

8. Madonna’s brontophobia – fear of thunder

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias8

We don’t really know whether it’s the thunder alone that bedevils Madonna, or the combination between thunder and lightning. But anyway it’s something that has got to do with rainstorms, this mysterious and yet unexplainable phenomenon that occurs so frequently on our planet. 🙂

9. Nicole Kidman’s fear of butterflies

8 Celebrities and Their Strange Phobias9

Well at least she struggled with her fear of butterflies, trying to understand it and to get over it, as the actress explained. “Sometimes when I would come home from school the biggest butterfly or moth you’d ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate. I would climb over the fence; crawl around to the side of the house—anything to avoid having to go through the front gate. I have tried to get over it … I walked into the big butterfly cage at the American Museum of Natural History and had the butterflies on me, but that didn’t work. I jump out of planes, I could be covered in cockroaches, I do all sorts of things, but I just don’t like the feel of butterflies’ bodies,” she said of her unusual phobia.

Alfred Hitchcock Movies and Quotes

What can we say about Alfred Hitchcock that hasn’t been already said and rehashed a million times on the mighty internet? Great Director. Check. Fat guy. Check. Perverted. Check. Makes cameos in his movies. Check. Died. Check. How about Alfred was born on August 13th – Friday. His directorial debut was to be the film “Number 13”, but was shut down after a few scenes due to “financial difficulties”. Rumors has it that he had no belly button. He was born with one, but doctors stitched it up after a stomach surgery. One more thing, chocolate syrup was used for Janet Leigh’s blood in the shower scene in “Psycho”.

So here is Alfred’s best and not so best of the best movies and quotes in “Good, Bad, and Ugly” form:

The Top 10 PG/PG-13 Horror Movies

April 20, 2012 By Vernon Gadson 1 Comment

There’s been an earth-shattering debate (read: crybaby whining) going on at the IMDb board for Ridley Scott’s upcoming sci-fi horror feature “Prometheus.” Apparently, the film is under threat of being slapped with a PG-13 rating, which, as many horrified posters have anxiously pointed out, is “OMG, the same rating as Twilight, so gay.” This, in spite of the fact that the film serves as something of a prequel to the “Alien” franchise, each entry of which has been granted with a much harsher R rating, mostly for gore, bloody violence and frequent scenes of chest-bursting.

As of this moment, the MPAA (that’s the Motion Picture Association of America) is yet to officially announce the film’s American rating, but many are dead certain that film studio 20th Century Fox are gunning for a PG-13 rating purely for financial gain. Those complaining claim that the level of raw, pants-crapping intensity captured in the previous “Alien” films simply cannot be recreated in a supposedly watered-down, hacked-to-bits PG-13 cut. As sort of a counter-argument, I thought I’d take a look at the ten best examples to come out of the horror genre brandished with either a PG-13 rating or an even lighter PG rating, along with how spooky they managed to be, even though their rating clearly meant “Twilight” levels of gayness, and what they would be like had they been granted an R rating.

The 5 Greatest Shower Scenes in Cinematic History

December 7, 2011 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

Films aren’t just celluloid collections of mindless entertainment. The truly great movies can stir the soul. They can lift the human spirit and literally save mankind by proving to the cruelest of fates that men are capable of much more than starting holy wars, wiping out whole sections of humanity and using the least capable members of society as pawns for their own tiny grasps for power. Also, a really good shower scene can do the same thing, but with boobies.

Shower scenes are often portrayed as a cheap way to add sex to a movie. That’s not totally untrue. The truly great bathing scenes can be just as funny, scary or even downright frightening as any other plot driven part of the film. And even if they are, at least it’s the closest you’ll ever come to see Angelina Jolie’s side boob, so quit whining.

1. “Weird Science”


Showering Is Real Fun

This sci-fi coming of age comedy from John Hughes might not be the most high-brow title in his list, but it still does a good job of portraying the condition of the teenage spirit. [Read more…]
