"I’ve heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not?, because if anything happened to my boobs, I’d be out for a few months and I’d probably be out a million dollars,” she told People. “I thought I’d cover my assets.”

The former girlfriend to Hugh Hefner and star of reality show Holly's World -- who currently appears topless in her Las Vegas revue, Peepshow -- adds that her breasts "are getting the credit they deserve. They're my primary money makers right now."

But she's not the only boldfaced name who has taken out a policy on her body.
