Celebrity Fears and Phobias... You're Not Alone!

Nicole Kidman is afraid of butterflies. Johnny Depp fears clowns. Madonna's afraid of thunder. Sarah Michelle Gellar is afraid of graveyards. Cameron Diaz is afraid to touch doorknobs. Whoopi Goldberg is afraid to fly.

Kelly Osbourne and Robert DeNiro are afraid of the dentist. Kelly Osbourne even tweeted: "i have to go get my filling today and the fear is really really kicking in. i need to get over this fear of the dentist but i cant! (sic)"

Out of adults in the United States, studies show that 1 in 4 suffer from fear of the dentist. That's not surprising, considering the way dentistry was performed 30 years ago.
