Former Flamingo headliner and Las Vegas resident Toni Braxton is suing insurance giant specialist Lloyd’s of London for refusing to pay her for the months of work she missed entertaining in Las Vegas because of her alleged heart condition. 

The six-time Grammy winner is suing for undisclosed damages, claiming she bought “non-appearance” and “cancellation” insurance which protects entertainers in case of cancellations. 

Published reports indicate Braxton discovered she had pericarditis, an inflammation of the sack surrounding the heart, after the birth of her second son, Diezel, on March 31, 2003. 

However, not long after leaving the Flamingo – still having nine months on her entertainment contract – Braxton competed on ABC TVs “Dancing with the Stars.”

Report: Tom Jones has chest hair insured

It’s Not Unusual … it’s really unusual.

Ageless heartthrob Sir Tom Jones has reportedly insured his chest hair for almost $7 million.

Though the 67-year-old crooner’s management told a British tabloid that Jones has been “working far too hard in the recording studio” for such frivolity, media reports have confirmed the policy was taken out with the world-renowned Lloyd’s of London.

The prestigious insurance house has a history of catering to strange celebrity requests.

Lloyd’s of London has insured the legs of Fred Astaire, Angie Dickinson, and supermodel Heidi Klum, the hands of pianist Liberace and the fingers of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. The most famous rear end in the world – the one belonging to Jennifer Lopez - is also said to be insured by the London-based insurance house.

On its Web site, Lloyd’s of London boasted that the storied firm issued coverage of a celebrity’s chest hair in 2006.

“Admittedly, this is one of the most obscure requests I’ve had – but I still came up with a wording that addressed the need,” underwriter John Thomas said at the time.
