You can't search for a photograph of Miley Cyrus without being bombarded with images of her pulling her tongue out.  In fact, her tongue has become an icon in itself!  So much so that she's taken out an insurance policy on it for a huge 1 million dollars!  This is definitely one of the weirder body parts to have insured!

The iconic model and

JLo's derriere is quite iconic.  So iconic, in fact, that she has had it insured for almost $300 million.  But, for some reason, and despite the widespread rumors, it took her quite a while to actually admit that she had her butt insured!  It doesn't sound like she understands why either, as she joked: 
"what is somebody steals it?!"

13. Taylor Swift's Legs: $40 Million

American football star, Troy Polamalu's luscious, shiny, curly locks are definitely the envy of many.  But it takes work for hair to look THAT good and he said that before a game, his haircare routine regularly takes around 45 minutes!  But he didn't take out the $1 million insurance policy himself, it was actually taken out when he signed a sponsorship deal with Head and Shoulders!

Irish dancer, Michael Flatley has twice broken the Guinness World Record for foot-tapping, first with an insane 28 taps per

image source: people.com
It seems that legendary songstress Mariah Carey has more than one body part worth insuring! As well as that insurance policy taken out on her legs, she reportedly took out another one for $35 million for her vocal cords - and we'd argue this one is a bit more important!

33. Charlie Chaplin's Feet: Around $123,000

image source: news.sky.com
Charlie Chaplin was enough of a legend that you'd think all of him would be insured! But no, apparently it was just the feet. It makes sense when you remember that Chaplin was known for his famous walk, though - and $123,000 was actually a huge amount of money in those days!

34. Joey Essex's Hair: Around $1.2 Million

image source: news.sky.com
If you haven't heard of Joey Essex from across the pond, he's a reality TV star of UK reality TV fame - and he launched his own hair care brand. After doing so, he thought it would be a good idea to get his own hair insured - because why not - which he did so for around $1.2 million.

35. Priyanka Chopra's Smile

image source: britannica.com
It's not know how much Priyanka Chopra has insured her smile for, but it's very much copyrighted - and rightly so, because look at it! Apparently if anyone had plastic surgery done to copy her lips or smile, they would owe her a serious amount of money for breaking copyright!

36. Amitabh Bachchan's Voice

image source: imdb.com
Bachchan is a huge celebrity in Bollywood, and his vocal talents are something everyone can get behind - and that's why they're insured, for a lot of money. His deep baritone voice has been copyrighted because some people used it to promote smoking in their adverts!

38. David Lee Roth's Sperm

image source: usweekly.com
Yep, you read that right. Though I guess if you were going to insure anything it would be your reproductive genetics. David Lee Roth is an American singer and personality, known for being one of the members of Van Halen. He insured his sperm in the 1980s so he couldn't 'accidentally impregnate anyone'.

This has to be the first thing you think of when you think of this actress!

40. Beyonce's Thighs

image source: msn.com

41. Miranda Kerr's Dimples

image source: msn.com

42. Nicole Kidman's Hair

image source: msn.com
When you think of this actress's long career spanning decades, one thing we can agree on is just how much she's changed her hair! While she's mostly seen these days with a normal blond do, in the past she's had permed hair, dark hair, red hair... anything really! Which do you think suits her best?

43. Cara Delevingne's Eyebrows

Cara Delevingne seems to have taken on more and more as her career's progressed, from a model to starring in movies. But one thing that hasn't changed - and one thing we can depend on her for - is those eyebrows! With big eyebrows being the trend at the minute, she's the winner!

44. Blake Lively's Hair

45. Cindy Crawford's Mole

image source: msn.com
The mole on Cindy Crawford's upper lip is what marked her out from many other models - or everyone, really. It became a real trademark of the way she looked, and her image. It's interesting that Crawford was actually told to have the 'ugly' mark removed before starting her career - joke's on them!

46. Michelle Obama's Arms

48. Mark Wahlberg's Chest

49. Elle Macpherson's Whole Body!

image source: msn.com
Macpherson is the original Australian model, and it's always been easy to see why. When you're a model, it's no surprise you're going to be the whole package - so trying to pick one area of Elle's body would be impossible. At the age of 59 Elle looks amazing in every way!

50. Jennifer Aniston's Hair
