In our last celeb secrets post, we talked about Keith Richards snorting his dad’s ashes…well, we’ve got another wild snorting story for you: Tommy Lee revealed that the late Ozzy Osbourne once snorted a line of ants. “At that time, it was just kind of a thing — everybody was into [trying to] out-rock star and out-gross somebody out, like out-partying,” he recalled. “So Ozzy’s wasted. He sees there’s a little trail of ants going all the way to this kid’s popsicle that he left on the ground. And Ozzy looks down and fucking just snorts the line of ants going to the popsicle.” Osbourne confirmed this happened on his family’s podcast.

Speaking of Ozzy, he revealed that he once tried to kill wife, Sharon Osbourne…and didn’t even remember it. “All I remember is waking up in Amersham [England] jail and I asked the cop, ‘Why am I here?’ And he says, ‘You want me to read your charge?’ So he read, ‘John Michael Osbourne, you have been arrested for attempted murder,'” he recalled.

Pamela Anderson revealed in her memoir Love, Pamela, that she’d once helped Jack Nicholson finish in the Playboy Mansion. She wrote, “Mr. Nicholson had two beautiful women with him. They were all giggling and kissing up against the wall, sliding all over each other. I walked by to use the mirror, bending over the sink to fix my lip gloss. Trying not to look, but I couldn’t help myself and caught his eye in the reflection. I guess that got him to the finish line, because he made a funny noise, smiled and said, ‘Thanks, dear.'”

She also revealed in an interview that her ex-husband Tommy Lee had given her Ecstasy when they first got together. They had met on New Year’s Eve in 1994, and Lee had “courted” her (calling her 40-50 times a day) before flying to Cancun in February 1995, where Anderson had a photoshoot, to see her. She originally refused him, but later decided to meet him for a drink. She said it was spiked with Ecstasy. “I didn’t even know what it was,” she said. The two married days later.
5.
Speaking of Ecstasy…Kim K was high on it during her sex tape, and also when she married Damon Thomas. “I got married on Ecstasy the first time,” she revealed on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. “I did Ecstasy once and I got married.” Then later: “I did it again. I made a sex tape. Like, everything bad would happen.”

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino revealed on a podcast that he had multiple orgies involving fellow Jersey Shore castmates Vinny and Pauly D when the show started, one of which he mentioned in his book, Reality Check: Making the Best of the Situation — How I Overcame Addiction, Loss, and Prison.
7.
He also revealed in his memoir that he kept an “emergency sex tape” of an orgy (though not with Vinny or Pauly D) to sell if he was ever broke…starring him and 6-10 women. In fact, orgies were a regular thing for Sorrentino. “A threesome was a slow night. A lot of the times, it was upwards of six to 10 women in the room at a time,” he wrote.
8.
Kourtney Kardashian Barker revealed that while she was pregnant with Travis Barker’s baby, her doctor told her to drink his sperm. On The Kardashians, she stated that her doctor was concerned about her thyroid levels. “I can’t remember what he said, if it was low or high,” she said. “But he told us, well, he told me, that the thing that would help it was drinking [Travis’] come, like, four times a week.” It doesn’t seem like she followed through (though it’s unclear); she sought help from a wellness guru for her issues instead.
9.
Charlie Sheen revealed on the Today show in 2015 that he had been diagnosed with HIV in 2011. He said he’d contracted it while struggling with drug misuse, and also revealed that he was extorted over the information, saying people would take photos of his medication and threaten to leak them.
10.
Back in 1995, Sheen also revealed in court that he’d used the services of sex workers over 27 times and paid over $53,000.
11.
Jennifer Coolidge revealed that her American Pie fame contributed to her sleeping with 200 people. “I got a lot of play at being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie,” she said. “There were so many benefits to doing that movie. I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with.”
12.
And Hugh Hefner once claimed he’d slept with over a thousand women. Other celebs with body counts in the thousands? Jack Nicholson, Simon Cowell, Mick Jagger, Gene Simmons, Charlie Sheen, Warren Beatty — who said he’s slept with tens of thousands of women — and Russell Brand, who said, “I was having sex with different women three, four, five times a day. In Ireland, nine in one evening.”
13.
Brooke Shields made the shocking revelation in her memoir that a doctor gave her a labia rejuvenation without her consent. This came after her gynecologist recommended a labial reduction due to discomfort. Shields then saw a male doctor for the surgery; he informed her afterward that he had also “tightened [her] up a little bit” and given her “a little rejuvenation.” Shields said she was horrified and considered suing. “He acted as if he’d done me a favor, and that I should, in fact, be grateful. There was a real ‘I threw this in for free, little lady’ vibe to his delivery. But I had never asked to be ‘tightened’ or ‘rejuvenated’ (translation: given a younger vagina). I felt numb.”
14.
Kanye West also got plastic surgery, which actually contributed to a reliance on opioids. “I got liposuction because I didn’t want y’all to call me fat like y’all called Rob [Kardashian] at the wedding and made him fly home before me and Kim got married. I didn’t want y’all to call me fat so I got liposuction, right? And they gave me opioids, right? And I started taking two of them and then driving to work on the opioids,” he revealed. From there, it only got worse, with his 2016 hospitalization leading him to be prescribed further opioids.
15.
In another plastic surgery-related — and Ye-related — example, Julia Fox claimed Ye offered to pay for a boob job for her when the two were dating. She expressed to him that she wasn’t comfortable wearing a certain top without a bra, and he said, “I’ll get you a boob job if you want.”
16.
She also claimed their first kiss came after meeting at a Miami club. Outside, he started peeing, and she jumped in to hide him from view. “Once he zips his pants back up, he puts his arms around me, and pulls me in close, kissing me passionately.”
17.
Cardi B once revealed she got illegal butt injections at a Queens basement apartment. She paid $800 for filler to be injected into her butt, and called it “the craziest pain ever,” adding that it leaked for five days. She later tried to return for a touch-up, but learned her injector had been arrested “cause she’s supposedly killed somebody” through her injections.
18.
Prince Harry wrote in his book Spare that he once took mushrooms at Courteney Cox’s house. He was crashing at Cox’s place for a few days, and she threw a party…during which he noticed the psychedelics in the fridge. “My mate and I grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila,” he recalled. He then started hallucinating monsters.
19.
That wasn’t the only time he’d used psychedelics, either – he wrote he’d “experimented with them over the years,” and not just mushrooms, but ayahuasca, too. Harry also revealed he’d tried cocaine. He was offered a line at a hunting trip — and tried it again a few times after. “It wasn’t very fun, and it didn’t make me feel especially happy as seemed to happen to others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. To feel. To be different,” he wrote. He also smoked weed while at Eton.
20.
Melissa Joan Hart claimed she “experimented with weed, Ecstasy, mushrooms and mescaline for about a year and a half,” when she was younger, adding that Paris Hilton once offered her cocaine (Hilton’s reps denied this).
21.
In another drug-related confession, Jodie Sweetin revealed she was high at the premiere for Mary-Kate and Ashley’s film New York Minute, and that she snorted meth in the bathroom.
22.
Chelsea Handler revealed to Andy Cohen she’d “had a lot of threesomes” with ex Ted Harbert. One was with a female masseuse, whom she actually ended up hooking up with without Harbert multiple times. “That’s when I knew it was time to break up with the guy,” she joked.
23.
In her memoir Inside Out, Demi Moore revealed that she had two threesomes with Ashton Kutcher when the two were married “to show him how great and fun I could be.” There had long been reports about this, but fans were surprised to hear Demi confirm it. She also confirmed reports about Ashton having cheated on her, and claimed he blamed it on the way the threesome had “blurred the lines.” She revealed that they broke up after reports he’d cheated during the weekend of their sixth wedding anniversary.
24.
Oh, and she revealed she broke her sobriety to impress Kutcher, who claimed early on that he wasn’t sure alcoholism was “a real thing.” And that she had a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy with Kutcher.
25.
Britney Spears revealed in her memoir The Woman In Me that she became pregnant with Justin Timberlake’s child when the two were dating. She ended up having an abortion as Timberlake wasn’t ready for a child. “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she wrote. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.” Spears said she would not have done it if it had just been her choice, but that Justin “was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”
26.
Jada Pinkett Smith shocked Hollywood in 2023 when she revealed that she and husband Will Smith had been separated for seven years. This especially came as a surprise given Will’s infamous Oscars slap, when he hit host Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada’s lack of hair. However, the two have not filed for divorce, and don’t plan on it. “I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce,” Jada said. “We will work through whatever, and I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”
27.
Smith also revealed in her book that Chris Rock once asked her out. She later told People, “I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce. And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors.’ He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that.”
28.
In 2018, Livia Giuggiolo, who was then married to Colin Firth, accused an Italian journalist of harassing and stalking her (which he denied). He replied, stating Giuggiolo was trying to cover up the fact they’d had an affair. Giuggiolo and Firth then shocked everyone by revealing that Giuggiolo and the alleged stalker had, in fact, had a romantic relationship — and that Giuggiolo and Firth had been separated for a period in 2016-2017, when the relationship occurred. The two had been married since 1997 and were a rare example of a long-lasting marriage in Hollywood. They ended up splitting in 2019.
29.
Jermaine Dupri admitted to having cheated on Janet Jackson in her 2022 documentary, Janet, though he referred to it as “reckless” behavior. In fact, he got those opportunities to cheat through being with Jackson. “One of the weird things is that dating Janet attracts other women – girls wanted to talk to me more because I was dating her… and I’m a man,” he said.
30.
In an opposite reveal, both Usher and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas revealed that Usher never cheated in their relationship, and that songs on his hit album Confessions, which appeared to be about him cheating on her, were actually about their friends…including Dupri.
31.
Nicolas Cage revealed to David Letterman that he once took mushrooms with his cat. “He ate them voraciously,” he said. “It was like cat-nip to him. So I thought what the heck, I’d better do it with him.” Cage then recalled, “I remember lying in my bed for hours, and Lewis was on the desk across from the bed for hours, staring at each other…not moving. But he would stare at me, and I had no doubt that he was my brother.”
32.
Testifying during a lawsuit against his accountants and former management company, Elton John confirmed that he’d spent £30m over the course of a year and eight months in the ’90s — including “£293,000 on flowers alone.” This isn’t even counting what he spent on property — £9.6m — over that sub-two-year period.
33.
Speaking of money – Nick Cannon once claimed it costs Mariah Carey “$150,000, $200,000 just to walk out of the house” due to her “security, hair, makeup, and jets.”
34.
And finally, Cannon also revealed he’d been secretly engaged “probably half a dozen times” prior to his marriage to Carey. “I proposed several times,” he revealed, adding that some of the women kept the ring he gave them after it was called off.
