Brad Pitt - No Baths, Please

It is safe to say that a lot of people would do anything to at least come close to Brad Pitt, known for his films “World War Z,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” and “Fight Club.” Most of us assume that he smells great, but after knowing his bad habit, you might want to rethink this. It was revealed that he doesn’t often take a bath due to his hectic schedule.

His “Inglourious Basterds” co-star Eli Roth shared that Pitt gave him an ingenious hack when their demanding career wouldn’t let them take a bath: rub baby wipes on your armpits. Hey, it’s what works for the “Troy” actor.

Snooki - Exfoliating With Cat Litter

Cat owners are familiar with litter sand: it’s where our feline companions pee and poo. It is quite unhygienic even to think of using it for our own daily routines, but this isn’t the case for “Jersey Shore” star Snooki, who admitted to using it for her beauty regimen.

The reality star previously revealed that she had discovered a great substitute for
exfoliators commercially available. Yes, Snooki shared that cat litter was an alternative for a much cheaper cost. Although they have the same texture, not everyone is sold on this idea, with some saying exfoliators have other chemicals in them.

Katy Perry - Frequent Tooth Brushing

Toothbrushing is one of the most instinctive activities we do in the morning and at night before we go to sleep. Experts have advised cleaning our pearly whites at least twice a day to maintain our oral health. Well, too much of something is always bad, as with this habit.

However, “Roar” hitmaker Katy Perry is probably too afraid for her breath to smell bad that she frequently cleans her mouth. The “American Idol” judge admitted to doing this six times a day because she grew up watching Britney Spears with super white teeth. While this may sound harmless, this could lead to tooth abrasion and gum recession.

Orlando Bloom - Leaving Used Floss Everywhere

After learning of Katy Perry’s love for overbrushing, we’re not surprised why she and her partner in crime “The Lord of The Rings” star Orlando Bloom clicked. Not only are they both good-looking celebrities, they are also both obsessed with keeping a healthy mouth to the point that it has become unhealthy.

Perry herself revealed that Bloom loves to floss, which is not out of the ordinary. The “Dark Horse” singer likes this about him, too, but what she doesn’t is the fact that the actor often leaves his used floss everywhere! We wonder if the mom of one picks them up or asks him to do it.

Jim Carrey - Too Passionate To His Craft

You have to hand it to actors who are passionate about their profession because it shows the kind of work they deliver. But again, anything excessive is not good and even in thespians’ cases, this could prove to be harmful to them. Take a look at Jim Carrey, a highly celebrated comedian who is known to go to great lengths for his roles.

Carrey, who has a knack for method acting, stirred controversy for his portrayal in the 1999 movie “Man on the Moon.” Four months after this, he remained in character and wanted to be called Andy, garnering comments from veteran star Morgan Freeman.

Orlando Bloom - Doesn’t Do Laundry

Take this with a grain of salt but there was news in 2008 about “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Orlando Bloom refusing to wash his clothes despite his ex-wife Miranda Kerr’s request. He reportedly spent days without changing his outfit and would often throw them in the washer after a week.

Nonetheless, there was probably a deeper reason they called it quits. What’s important is that Kerr and Bloom are on good terms these days, with the model telling Marie Claire in 2021 that she loves and appreciates the singer. They are also quite close on social media, and it would seem that this translates in real life.

Sofia Vergara - Coffee Obsession

This bad habit is something a lot of us are guilty about. While a cup of joe is generally harmless, “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara is not shy about her love for coffee. In fact, she even has a pre-workout caffeine drink, revealing to People that she needed it before she the “torture.”

This probably stems from her birthplace, Colombia, which produces the most arabica beans. Vergara’s choice is black coffee with no sugar because she likes it strong. Whenever she forgets to grab a cup, the actress said she feels awful. While this beverage has antioxidants, it is not good to drink a lot, especially near bedtime.

Eminem - Love Of Darkness

Eminem’s habit isn’t relatively bad on its own but tends to become one if it inconveniences other people. Science has found that darkness is essential in securing a good night's rest because it stimulates the production of melatonin, which helps in the sleep cycle.

As such, we understand if the rapper wants his room to be dark. Unfortunately, Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, will do whatever it takes to achieve this setting. According to a PageSix report in 2012, the “Stan” hitmaker asked hotel staff to place tinfoil on his windows and play white noise in his room so that he could doze off.

Steve Martin - No Autographs

These days, seeing your favorite celebrities means getting a selfie with them. Although it is old-school, securing a good old autograph is still appreciated. However, don’t expect to get Steve Martin’s signature freshly when you bump into him on the streets.

That’s because Martin, who is known for his works like “The Pink Panther,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and “Father of the Bride,” reportedly has pre-signed note cards that he hands out to his fans when they ask for an autograph. Worse, they have a formal message stating that they met the actor and found him warm, intelligent, and polite. Yikes!

Simon Cowell - Overtanning

Everyone knows Simon Cowell, a stronghold in the music industry, who can make or break an aspiring artist. We also understand that this business has made him a wealthy executive, but how does he actually spend his fortune?

For one, he loves tanning and you’ll rarely see him pale on the red carpet. In fact, Cowell once admitted that he has his own tanning salon in the comfort of his house. While there’s nothing wrong with adding color to your skin, it can be extremely harmful if not done right and repeatedly. Well, with his earnings, he could hire the best derma out there to help him.

Lindsay Lohan - Tardiness

Nineties kids know actress Lindsay Lohan for starring in a handful of films like “Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls.” Unfortunately, she has also become infamous for her troubling past that involves questionable decisions like driving while intoxicated.

For a time, Lohan exited Hollywood, perhaps due to her personal issues. She also gained a reputation for being unreasonably late in many events, including when she guest-starred in the hit musical series “Glee” in 2012. Because she partied the night before, the actress was so tardy that she had to be fetched from her hotel. When she arrived on set three hours late, she was not even ready.

Robert Pattinson - No Hair Washing

Although Robert Pattinson became popular after playing Cedric Diggory in the “Harry Potter” movie, it wasn’t until he portrayed vampire Edward Cullen in the highly successful franchise “Twilight” that he became an actor to watch for.

However, during those filming days, rumors began swirling that the “Twilight” crew couldn’t stand going near him because of his smell although Kirsten Stewart was reportedly fine with it. Pattinson previously admitted he didn’t wash his hair for days because he didn’t see the point of doing so. He likened this to cleaning his home, so let this be a fair warning: visitors must expect his house is in a mess.

Alicia Silverstone - Bird Feeding Her Child

Alicia Silverstone, best known for playing Cher in the iconic coming-of-age comedy “Clueless,” has a unique parenting style. Sure, there’s no wrong or right way to raise kids and it will vary on the mom and dad but for an understandable reason, the actress’ way garnered attention.

In 2012, Silverstone shared a video of her feeding her son, Bear Blu. While most parents would use tiny spoons, she chewed the food before giving it to the little one, pretty much how a bird feeds its babies. Apparently, this technique is called pre-mastication, which is normal for some cultures. It is safe to say that the majority found it eyebrow-raising.

Van Halen - Brown M&Ms Are A Big No-No

Big stars are no strangers to diva demands, so much so that most backstage personnel already expect this attitude all the time. The band Van Halen isn’t an exception because they are known for requesting a bowl of M&M chocolate without the brown ones.

According to Insider, this ludicrous demand started as a joke to organizers during concerts but it became a business tactic. Apparently, it is included in the clause stating that if there would be brown M&Ms, the full price of the show would be forfeited. David Lee Roth explained that this was their way of knowing if the promoter had read the contract.

Christina Aguilera - Doesn’t Like Handwashing

What’s the most unhygienic room in the house? A lot of you might say it’s the bathroom. This is why we always wash our hands after. However, this is a habit that Christina Aguilera, known for her hits “I Am Beautiful,” “Candyman,” and “Lady Marmalade,” reportedly has. One fan had seen her at a bar coming from the restroom and after this, she went straight to her table.

According to WebMD, organisms from restrooms can cause tons of diseases, which is why it is important to wash one’s hands. However, if a person has a pristine immune system, they won’t easily get sick.

Stephen King - Obsession With Cheesecake

Stephen King is a top-tier author, who is best known for his thriller novels, a lot of which have been adapted to films and shows. For the uninitiated, he is the brains behind the book “It,” which became the source material for the movies of the same name.

Want to be like him? Apparently, King loves gobbling up slices of cheesecake prior to writing. Sugar rush as it may seem but it probably is the reason he is able to come up with wild stories to tell. He credits his son, Owen, for this habit because the younger author also loves eating creme brulee when working.

Helen Mirren - Cursing

A lot of kids look up to celebrities, so stars have an unwritten responsibility to serve as good role models for the youth. However, that doesn’t mean that all of them plan to be prim and proper all the time. Veteran actress Helen Mirren, for instance, loves swearing and doesn’t care if she was caught doing it on-screen.

In an interview, Mirren noted that cursing is not a big deal for her. “The Queen” star also shows her foul mouth on social media. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion and is free to voice out their ideas, the actress might want to tone it down at times.

Johnny Depp - Doll Collecting

A lot has been said about Johnny Depp, star of “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” and “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and while we feel we know everything about him, he also has some weird habits that fans should probably know about.

Although technically not a bad habit, Depp has a collection of Barbie dolls. However, what’s even odder is that he practices his roles with the toys. According to The Things, this stemmed from his love for his daughter Lily-Rose because he used to voice and play with dolls in front of her to entertain the child.

Ariana Grande - Back Cracking

These days, it’s hard not to know who Ariana Grande is – she is a child actress that has transitioned to become a Grammy award-winning singer whose hits “Thank U, next,” “One Last Time,” and “Breakfree” dominated charts. But even though the former Nickelodeon star seems to be perfect, she does have a bad habit.

While speaking to Stars At Joiz in 2014, Grande revealed that she loves cracking her knuckles and back. However, she refused to demonstrate the act, saying it was unlady-like to do it on camera. Nonetheless, the “Into You” singer maintained that this didn’t hurt her at all.

Adele - Gum Chewing

Here we have another Grammy winner who has a bad habit. What’s up with singers that are seemingly perfect? Adele’s quirky habit is chewing gum, which is comparably milder than the others on this list but still should be moderated.

The “Easy On Me” hitmaker was even called out for this habit at the 2012 Grammy Awards when she was accepting her golden gramophone onstage! Avid fans of Adele are probably familiar with this because she had done this multiple times in front of big crowds as well. Although it helps keep bad breath away, this could lead to jaw pain.

Jennifer Lopez - Penchant for White

Jenny From The Block knows what she likes and doesn’t like, so much so that she asks staffers to adjust things for her. Case in point, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly not a fan of bold colors and the crew should always remember this, especially during concerts and performances.

Legend has it that Lopez wants everything to be white in backstages. This means very light furniture, walls, and flowers whenever she is around. Australian star Dannii Minogue witnessed this herself and revealed that the diva rumors were true. The latter explained that the backstage had to be redecorated before J. Lo arrived.

Kristen Stewart - Lip Biting

Lip biting has become actress Kristen Stewart’s trademark. She often unconsciously does this not just behind the camera but also on-screen. Although this may be a turn-off for some fans, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because her character Bella Swan in the “Twilight” franchise also loves doing this, as per the source material.

While this bad habit had prompted spoof shows to do a parody, Stewart previously revealed that she unintentionally does this when she is nervous. Well, we suggest finding another coping mechanism when she gets the jitters, or else this might cause painful sores and swelling.

Jessica Simpson - No Toothbrushing

Since we were little kids, we were taught to brush our pearly whites to keep them, well, white. Our parents would also taunt us that bacteria would grow out of our mouths and all of our fangs would fall out if we didn’t practice this basic oral hygiene. Singer Jessica Simpson probably didn’t receive these words.

That’s because she doesn’t often brush her teeth, admitting that she only does it a couple of times a week. This is quite surprising because Simpson has an impeccably nice white set, so we guess she might have discovered the need for a stricter oral health regimen.

Britney Spears - Yes To Junk Food

With her killer figure, it’s hard to imagine Princess of Pop Britney Spears binge-eating unhealthy snacks. We can’t blame her, though, because junk food is usually comforting even though we know they are bad for our health.

Because of this, Spears admitted that she tries to stay strict with her workout and diet programs, but she sometimes can’t help but go back to her unhealthy ways. According to WebMD, this type of snack is made palatable, meaning they are irresistible. Unfortunately, a small portion is usually high in calories, which is why it’s a big no-no if you’re eyeing to shed a few pounds.

Olivia Munn - Eyelash-Pulling

Because they are always in front of so many people, we often think that celebrities are so used to the spotlight. Unfortunately, that is not always the case as a lot of them suffer from different conditions that prohibit them from being confident all the time.

Actress Olivia Munn, for instance, struggles with anxiety so to calm her nerves, she would pull her eyelashes, sometimes unconsciously. Unfortunately, this coping mechanism can take a toll on her so to combat this, she would use fake eyelashes. According to the NHS, this condition is called trichotillomania, which is when a person can't stop themselves from pulling their hair.

Megan Fox - Forgetting To Flush

Megan Fox is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses we have today. She starred in a slew of unforgettable films like “Transformers,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and “Jennifer’s Body.” So it is safe to say that everyone wants to be roommates with her, right?

Unfortunately, Fox doesn’t think so because she has an unsanitary bathroom habit: forgetting to flush. Her friends would often scold her for not doing the obvious whenever she was at their place. But that’s not all, Machine Gun Kelly’s partner isn’t also doing well in the Cleanliness Department because she leaves her clothes all over the floor!

Olivia Wilde - Nail Biting

Actress Olivia Wilde has a long list of impressive acting credits like “House,” “Booksmart,” and “TRON: Legacy.” Sure, she leads a far more glamorous life than us but we may have something in common with her: nail biting, one of the most common bad habits around the world.

Needless to say, this is an unhygienic habit that should be corrected. According to WebMD, a lot of people start developing this at a young age and while many outgrow this, others don’t. While it doesn’t usually cause permanent issues, it could result in weird-looking nails and chipped teeth, and can even make you sick.

Nicolas Cage - Overspending

This entry is not a secret in Hollywood. Nicolas Cage, star of “Ghost Rider” and “National Treasure,” may be popular for his portrayal but he has also become infamous for his unwise spending habits. His net worth as of 2022 is $25 million and it would seem that he is financially stable these days but that wasn’t always the case.

In the past, he blew his fortune by buying ridiculously expensive things that he probably didn’t need. Cage bought a pet octopus for a whopping $150K and a dinosaur skull for $300K! He also used to own a bear skull but he broke it.

Lauren Conrad - Hair Twirling

Anyone who watched “The Hills” is familiar with Lauren Conrad, who has since become a fashion designer. Despite being successful in both fields, she also has one weird habit: twirling her strands. While filming the MTV show, she was always seen doing this, which might have annoyed a lot of viewers.

Coiling locks around one’s finger is considered a fidget. Healthline noted that kids who do this often find it a calming activity to soothe nervousness. This can also lead to more serious repetitive behavior. While others do this out of boredom, it could lead to breakage, tangles, split ends, and knots.

Shailene Woodley - Eating Clay

“Divergent” star Shailene Woodley has flawless skin, which might be attributed to her love of natural living. While her lifestyle is worth emulating, we must remember that she also eats clay – yes, you read that right. The actress revealed this in a 2014 interview, leaving the host baffled just like us.

Woodley maintained that she wasn’t joking when she said she would brush her teeth with the mineral and then swallow it. “The Fault in Our Stars” celebrity explained that the clay would bind to other unhealthy things in our body and help us flush out heavy metals and toxins.

Marilyn Monroe - Leaving Leftovers On The Bed

Much has been said about the iconic bombshell Marilyn Monroe, primarily about her relationships. However, there is also a circulating issue that she also had bad habits that her maids and crew were aware of.

It was said that she loved to eat on the bed, which isn’t really uncommon. A lot are guilty of doing this, especially when watching movies or series. What’s not hygienic is that Monroe reportedly would just leave her leftover food with the plate under the sheets. Others claimed that the celebrity would do this so that her staff would clean them in the morning.

Harry Connick Jr. - Nail Biting

Another nail-biter on this list is Harry Connick Jr., best known for “Hope Floats,” “Copycat,” and “The Iron Giant.” In a previous interview, he admitted that he won’t ever need a clipper because he could also do this on his toes! We don’t know how he exactly does it but we will leave that to our readers’ imagination.

Although this is a bad habit, this can reveal a lot of things about a person. According to BrightSide, the behavior could mean you are a perfectionist. A study showed that nail-biters are overachievers and people with type A personalities, who loved to overwork.

Halle Berry - Lip Skin Biting

“The Runaways” star Kristen Stewart frequently bites her lips unconsciously but “Catwoman” actress Halle Berry loves peeling the dry skin off her pucker. Many people are guilty of doing this but there are exfoliators in the market for a reason.

Experts advise against biting or peeling the dry skin on your lips because our pouts are delicate and this habit could lead to bleeding and soreness. There are other ways to address chapped puckers, including frequently using balms to keep them hydrated. When going out on a cold day, wear a mask because low temperature causes dryness, which is the same for our skin.

Suki Waterhouse - Sleeping In Day Clothes

We can think of a lot of reasons actors Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse clicked and have been going strong since 2018. Apart from sharing a passion for their craft, they also probably bonded over their bad habits. That’s because the latter admitted that she can sleep in her day clothes.

Whenever she feels tired after a long day, Waterhouse reveals she gets too lazy to change so she hits the hay with whatever she wore that day, even if it meant getting cocooned in a coat. She acknowledged that this was a bad habit but maintained that there was something comforting about being wrapped up.

Robbie Williams - Biting Toenails

Robbie Williams is one of the most popular British musicians we have, boasting 75 million albums sold and overtaking David Bowie as the record holder for the most sold albums, as per the BBC. Despite his achievements and successful personal life, we must say that he is nowhere near perfect.

This is because he bites his toenails, as revealed by his wife Ayda on a show. She narrated how she would catch Williams with something in his mouth and she would already understand. Of course, the audience were disgusted with what she revealed. We also couldn’t help but think about the repercussions of this behavior, including ingesting germs.

Rihanna - Borrowing Wine Glasses

Rihanna is not just a celebrated singer, she is also an enviable entrepreneur who successfully put up her own business empire. Because of her ventures like Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, she managed to become a self-made billionaire.

Unfortunately, the Barbadian singer has a bad habit of taking home wine glasses from restos. Fans are quite familiar with this because the “Diamonds” hitmaker was often pictured holding a crystalware whenever she leaves late at night. When Rihanna graced “The Graham Norton Show,” the host pointed this out but she explained that she does bring her own and was simply bringing home what’s hers.

Chrissy Teigen - Licking Doritos

Doritos is just another snack that both celebrities and average Janes and Joes absolutely love. Model Chrissy Teigen also adores this junk food but has a little odd manner of eating a bag. Apparently, she just licks the flavor off the chips and then returns the nacho to the bag. Her excuse?

Not eating the chips means not consuming carbs. While a lot of trolls came for her, Teigen didn’t have any of it and stood by her habit as she refused to apologize for the backlash. Well, we feel sorry for the guy who would get some from the bag of Doritos.

Demi Moore - Choosing Leeches For Beauty Purposes

There are a lot of bizarre things used to help humans achieve their standard of beauty. “Striptease” actress Demi Moore is no stranger to eyebrow-raising techniques because she had resorted to using leeches for her healing and health, which has been practiced for years because of its brightening effect on the skin.

Moore noted that these weren’t those found in swamps but she claimed that these were “highly trained medical leeches,” although we don’t know how that is possible. She is not alone in this though because Miranda Kerr also practices this therapy and keeps the blood-sucking creatures in her koi pond.

Anderson Cooper - No Washing Of Jeans

CNN broadcaster Anderson Cooper is one of the most recognizable personalities on the network. So we can expect that he has at least diversity in his clothing choices, but he previously revealed that he didn’t have much variety when it comes to what he wears.

The suits he usually dons on TV aside, Cooper shared that he only has neutral-colored tops and the same pair of jeans, which he admitted he doesn’t wash at all. The TV star said that the salesman advised him not to wash them for six months. On the rare occasion that he cleans them, he just wears them and goes to the shower with them.

Bono - Not Performing Without His Lucky Hat

Everyone has their own beliefs, including U2 lead singer Bono. The singer manages to captivate us with his performances but this may have been fueled by his lucky hat. Yes, he regards one of his headwear important, as superstitious as it may seem.

In 2003, Bono realized he had left his lucky charm back home before a performance for a charity concert. So instead of making do with what he had, he spent $1,700 just so his headwear would be flown to his location. According to CheatSheet, the item was carefully placed under the watchful eyes of the pilot in the cockpit.

Matthew McConaughey - Hates Deodorant

There’s not a doubt that celebrities also have bodily fluids. Matthew McConaughey, for one, knows that people have a certain smell but he isn’t afraid to embrace his natural scent. In fact, he refuses to use deodorants because he prefers to stay au naturel.

Fortunately, ditching this step in hygiene doesn’t seem to take a toll on “Dallas Buyers Club” actor. Hearing about this, his “Tropic Thunder” co-star, Yvette Nicole Brown, went out of her way to smell him to confirm if he needed to try deo. He surprisingly didn’t reek and the actress even described McConaughey’s smell as “granola and good living.”

Tom Cruise - Fascination With Sonogram

There’s nothing like the joy of seeing your child through a sonogram, the image that an ultrasound generates. Many parents choose to keep this memento in a scrapbook or baby book, but others like “Top Gun” actor Tom Cruise take it to another level.

That’s because when his ex-wife Katie Holmes was pregnant with their child, Suri, Cruise got reportedly so fascinated by the sonogram that he spent $200K to buy his own machine so that he could see his child every day. The innocent intention is there but experts were infuriated by this, out of fear that it could harm some tissues.

Julia Roberts - Doesn’t Shower Too Often

“Notting Hill,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Erin Brockovich” are just some of Julia Roberts’ finest works. Outside the spotlight, she is best known for her philanthropic works as well as a questionable unhygienic habit, but for a good reason. Her bodyguard previously revealed that his boss didn’t often shower to save water.

The unnamed source further claimed that Roberts didn’t like washing her hair because it’s dry, adding that she and her husband Daniel Moder live modestly, contrary to perceptions about Hollywood stars. Well, she is not alone in this because even Jake Gyllenhaal revealed in the past that he didn’t like showering, too.

Victoria Beckham - Wearing High Heels

As a creative whose taste in clothing is always trendy, it’s understandable that former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham prefers walking in high heels. While many women complained about sky-high footwear leaving them with painful calves and ankles, the celebrity could practically walk on these days in and out.

However, all these changed in 2009 when it was revealed that she was suffering from deformed bunions as a result of this habit. Some even claimed that Beckham’s back problems was because of this, too. This is probably why she has given flats a chance because she previously shared that she couldn’t concentrate with flat footwear.

Katherine Heigl - Smoking

No matter what the circumstance, smoking is simply a bad habit that a lot of people can’t avoid. “Grey’s Anatomy” star Katherine Heigl, for instance, had a hard time ditching this from her routine, admitting that she started this when she was just 20.

Heigl understands that this was bad for her health and, at one point, stopped smoking but got back to it again when she landed her iconic role in “Knocked Up.” She spoke about quitting and doing everything to do so, including chewing gum but to no avail. She joins other stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Bella Hadid, and Dakota Johnson, who also occasionally light a cigarette.
