Picking up a weird hobby, these 5 celebrities all like collecting an array of strange stuff. Amassing items that they don’t really need, they’ve compiled collections of very odd stuff that they’ve been interested in. From snakes to human hair and some even spookier stuff, these stars have all had weird obsessions with collecting their unique items. Some have since stopped their strange habit and have reduced their collections considerably while others continue to add to theirs whenever they get the chance. Some of these stars actually spend a lot of money on their collection while others enjoy free or cheaper items that they love accumulating.
Coolio
Coolio owns an array of firearms: “Me myself personally, I’ve got 54 guns – 54! During the Nineties, I had this fascination with guns. Now I’ve got 54 guns. It’s like collecting coins. They said I couldn’t have a gun around me no more. So I took all the guns and put them in different (places). I sold them to different people in my family. They are my guns, but I sold them alls to my cousins and s**t like that. I have a 50-calibre machine gun. It’s semi automatic not fully automatic. I bought it in California. You can’t even have one in California no more. So I had to sent it to my family in Arizona. We put it in a car and we drove it to Arizona and that’s where that motherf***ker is.”
Dannii Minogue
Dannii has a collection of human hair: “I’m not sure exactly whose hair it is. But when it is on my head, it is mine. A few people have been wigging out (sic) about it… I’ve got a selection of wigs and depending on what mood I’m in or what I’m wearing, they can just chop and change so I guess you’ll see a few different hairstyles coming up…”
Jessie J
Jessie is obsessed with buying dressing gowns: ”This is a little secret … I collect dressing gowns. I’ve got about six in storage, I’ve got vintage ones and hand-stitched ones. I’ve got some striped silk ones from American Apparel. Then I’ve got this thick woolly one that I actually bought from a hotel in China! It was so amazing that I couldn’t let it go, so I bought four of them for my mum, my sisters and me. I’m a dressing gown person.”
Jonathan Davis
Davis admits that he used to be obsessed with murderers and would collect items belonged to famous killers: “I’m done with that. I got all that stuff out. I just got over it. I was really into it for a while. I still have the car (Bundy’s vehicle), but I’m just bringing negativity and negative s**t in my house with it, and I don’t want that around my kids. There is definitely a vibe and weird s**t attached to those things. I really don’t want to glorify these people and what they did and display the s**t. I wasn’t thinking straight when I bought that stuff. I was sucked into it because it was so dark, and I’m like, ‘This is cool.’When I started to think about it, I was like, ‘What about those 70 girls’ parents – their babies got killed in that car, and I wanna display it! That is f**ked up.”
Slash
Slash used to have a huge collection of snakes: “I used to have an insane collection of reptiles. I had that for a lot of years until my first son was born… I’d had enough close calls with domestic pets – cats and snakes – and so I got rid of them all. Now I only have one (snake) and he’s pretty big… He’s about five feet, six feet – something like that. He’s actually a birthday present from a friend of mine. He was pretty much a newborn when I got him.”
