Billion Dollar Bottom Line You've heard the back end buzz about Jennifer Lopez. Looks like
she's pretty proud of her precious posterior. She recently took out a billion dollar
insurance policy on her assets. Since Jennifer does a lot of her own stunts, she wanted to
make sure she was protected in case anything ever happened. And while she's not the first
celebrity to insure body parts, $1 billion is believed to be the biggest celebrity premium.
Other stars who've insured their person include: Betty Grable who took out a $1 million
policy on her legs, Marlene Dietrich who shelled out $1 million to cover her voice. Fred
Astaire insured his legs for $75,000 each and his wrists and arms for $20,000. Marilyn
Monroe's body was insured by several film studios. Entertainment Tonight's Mary Hart
has a $1 million policy for each of her legs. And rocker Bruce Springsteen has insured his
vocal cords for $6 million. Does the song, You're So Vane come to mind?

this town." Ashlee, Mrs. Priestley, might just turn this separation into a permanent
one...no word on if that unidentified passenger was male or female.
