Jessica Simpson doesn’t brush her teeth regularly<\/h2>\n

Despite having a glowing, white smile, it seems that singer and actor Jessica Simpson doesn’t care to brush her teeth. In a 2010 interview on “The\u00a0Ellen DeGeneres Show,” she explained her reasoning for skipping crucial oral care. “Because my teeth are so white and I don’t like them to feel too slippery, but I do use Listerine and I do floss every day,” she said (via Us Weekly). “But I don’t brush them every day. My lips just slide all over the place. I can’t catch up with my mouth. I need a little coating.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

While Simpson might feel more comfortable with “a little coating,” the reality is that this might not be beneficial for overall oral health. Brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day is generally recommended. Also, even though using mouthwash may help freshen your breath, it’s not a true substitute for brushing, as it can’t support gum health the way that regular brushing does.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Mila Kunis doesn’t see the point in bathing often<\/h2>\n

Mila Kunis is another celebrity with questionable hygiene practices, but hers extend to her children, too. As a guest on Dax Shepherd’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2021, Kunis opened up about her bathing habits. “I didn’t have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn’t shower much anyway,” she explained. “But when I had children, I also didn’t wash them every day. I wasn’t that parent that bathed my newborns \u2014 ever.” Her husband, fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, chimed in on the topic of bathing their children, saying, “Now, here’s the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Even though not bathing children unless they’re visibly dirty may seem wild to some, the reality is that less-frequent bathing can be totally fine for young children. Bathing a child three times a week is sufficient when they’re a baby, though you’ll likely want to increase this as they get older. Still, for babies, bathing too much could lead to dry skin and other issues, so it’s no big deal if they don’t get scrubbed down every single day.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Kelly Clarkson might not be skipping showers outright, but some of the things she does in the shower are questionable. On a 2023 episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the talk-show host admitted to urinating in the shower in a conversation with Kenan Thompson about their showering habits. “I pee almost every time in the shower,” the “Behind These Hazel Eyes” singer said. Further explaining her reasoning, she added, “No, but you can’t help it. It goes back to that childhood sleepover, they put your hand in the hot water, and sometimes you pee. The hot water hits your body and \u2014 not every time, but, like, if I’ve gotta go.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Thompson admitted that he’d done it himself, but he had different feelings about it. “I’m not against it. I’ve not never done it. I’ve done it. But when I do do it, I always feel so ashamed,” he shared. While Thompson expressed some guilt about peeing in the shower, Clarkson, who also often brushes her teeth in the shower, doubled down in defense of multi-tasking while bathing, saying, “You know what I feel \u2014 I feel productive.” To each their own!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Chelsea Handler doesn’t wash her legs in the shower<\/h2>\n

Some might think that Kelly Clarkson does a little too much while she’s in the shower. Chelsea Handler, on the other hand, might not be doing enough. On a 2024 episode of her podcast,\u00a0“Dear Chelsea,” Handler discussed why she doesn’t wash her legs in the shower: “Why do my legs need to be washed? They’re f****** covered all day. It’s not like my legs are going out without me. When I take a shower, all the soap from my shower comes down. It’s not like my legs are out there gardening all day without me.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Her guest on the episode, “Central Intelligence” actor Kevin Hart, had a totally different view on the subject, saying, “That’s so bad!” Chelsea explained her bathing habits in more detail, revealing that she only likes to wash the areas that she calls “hot spots,” which include her head, armpits, and nether regions. She also shared that she doesn’t employ a washcloth or any other kind of scrubbing tool in the shower; she simply uses her hands, which is actually the most hygienic way to wash your body in the shower. “Okay, I’m gonna change her name from Chelsea to ‘Hot Spot.’ Hot Spot Chelsea, because you only wash your a**,” the comedian quipped later in the interview.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Lady Gaga is too busy to bathe (and urinates in her dressing rooms)<\/h2>\n

Lady Gaga might be known for her\u00a0biggest fashion risks\u00a0and, of course, her music, but she’s got some pretty memorable hygiene habits, too. In a 2019 post on X, Gaga joked about bathing infrequently. “[M]y assistant: when’s the last time you bathed,” her post began. “[M]e: i don’t remember.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

It seems that there’s a reason for Gaga to forget the showers, though. In a 2019 interview with beauty YouTuber\u00a0NikkiTutorials, the “Abracadabra” singer opened up about her latest creative endeavors and how they get her primary focus. “I’m living my inspirations right now, in this moment. When I get inspired, I do things right away,” she explained.<\/p>\n

Going easy on the showers isn’t Gaga’s only questionable hygiene practice, either. Appearing on\u00a0Alan Carr’s talk show, “Alan Carr: Chatty Man,” in 2011, the\u00a0“Edge of Glory”\u00a0singer admitted that she doesn’t always go to an actual bathroom to relieve herself: “I do quite often pee in the dressing room, in the trash can” (via Toronto Star). She went on to paint a clearer picture of the scenario, adding, “It would have been an interesting photo today because I had a big pink bow on, and I was over the trash can. The bathroom is down the hall. And I was naked. It was just me, my bow, and my nakedness.” That’s certainly one way to do things!<\/p>\n

America Ferrera enjoys skipping showers<\/h2>\n

While Lady Gaga might be skipping showers because she’s too busy creating art, America Ferrera skips them as a guilty pleasure. This seems like a surprise coming from a polished actor like\u00a0America Farrera, who brought Barbiecore full circle at the 2024 Oscars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

If you’re surprised, you’re not alone; even her co-stars were astonished. In a 2023 group interview for Vanity Fair, where the stars of the “Barbie” movie discussed guilty pleasures, her co-stars guessed a range of things that had nothing to do with hygiene. Kate McKinnon guessed “cookie dough,” while the director of the movie, Greta Gerwig, offered, “Oh, I bet a massage or something.” Ferrera was reluctant to admit it, but she shared that her guilty pleasure was not bathing. “I’m gonna really regret saying this,” she said. “It’s not showering for a few days.” Who would’ve guessed that? Not us, and not the “Barbie” cast. As Margot Robbie put it, “I would have never expected that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Megan Fox has been known to ‘forget to flush the toilet’<\/h2>\n

Megan Fox is no stranger to getting attention for things that might not be totally appropriate. For example, some might know all about Megan Fox’s most inappropriate looks, but she’s also got some questionable hygiene habits. These aren’t just things that impact her, either. Speaking to FHM (via Ranker), Fox was open about some of her less-than-hygienic habits and how her roommates felt about them. “I’m horrible to live with. I don’t clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off,” she started, then getting to the big one. “I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, ‘Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn’t flush.'”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Even though having a lazy day from time to time is totally understandable, living in a messy environment isn’t a great or healthy idea. Clutter isn’t just physically unpleasant to deal with; it can be harmful mentally as well. A disorganized living environment can raise your cortisol levels \u2014 that’s the stress hormone \u2014 and make it harder to focus, too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Kate Hudson skips the deodorant<\/h2>\n

For Kate Hudson, skipping showers or flushing isn’t an issue; rather, it’s what you normally do after \u2014 and that’s putting on deodorant. On “Watch What Happened Live,” Hudson spoke of co-star Matthew McConaughey’s habits \u2014 and her own \u2014 saying, “No! He doesn’t wear deodorant. And by the way, I don’t either.” Kate Hudson has been known to go makeup-free and look flawless, but we didn’t know she apparently goes deodorant-free, too. Even though some may find this habit unappealing,\u00a0 it might not be all that harmful, even if it might not always create the best odors.<\/p>\n
