Show Notes
It’s rumoured the world-round that Jennifer Lopez insured her backside, but is there truth in it? Can Ricky & Tony: Pop Detectives, get to the bottom of this one?
The evidence first surfaced in the tabloids (The Sun and the New York Post) in 1999 when they reported that Jennifer Lopez took out an insurance policy on her famous backside for up to $1 billion!
Luckily, as the world’s leading pop detectives, Ricky & Tony have the experts on hand who can help them crack the case. Their man in insurance, Charlie Boyd from Lloyds Of London knows all about insuring famous body parts and if there’s anybody who can give them the inside scoop on J.Lo, it’s the world’s most famous J.Lo impersonator, Connie Peña, direct from LA.
Could J.Lo really put in a claim for a billion dollars if she sat on a cactus? Ricky & Tony are on the case!

Ricky and Tony are back on the case of another superstar-based pop myth. One of their stool pigeons has tipped them to a demand by the Goddess of Pop, Cher, for a special room wherever she goes for the sole use of her wigs.
In 1987 Freddie Mercury turned 41 and decided to throw the mother of all parties at Pikes beach club in Ibiza. With myths a-plenty for this party, it even features in the Bohemian Rhapsody film, it’s hard to know what’s legend and what’s the truth!
