10 Celebs' Odd Eating Habits

Cockroaches, butterflies, peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwiches: Celebrities sure do have some odd eating habits. The Daily Beast, with the help of Matthew and Mark Jacob’s What the Great Ate: A Curious History of Food and Fame, lists a few:

• Angelina Jolie: She’s tried bee larvae, crickets, and cockroaches—and the roaches she actually liked.
• Friedrich Nietzsche: Believed that eating a lot of rice led to drug use, and eating a lot of potatoes led to alcohol use.
• Steve Jobs: The Apple founder once tried an all-apple diet…because he thought it might allow him to stop bathing.

• Vladimir Nabokov: Tried butterflies once but proclaimed them “vile,” like “almonds and perhaps green cheese.”
• Maria Callas: The Greek opera star was rumored to have eaten a tapeworm purposely—to help her lose weight.
• Elvis Presley: Once flew 800 miles to eat a peanut-butter-jelly-bacon sandwich…made on an entire loaf of bread with a pound of bacon.
• Ronald Reagan: Didn’t eat a tomato for 70 years.
