File this under W for “Wow, celebrities are nuts.” In a recent Letterman appearance, Demi Moore revealed she’s “getting medieval” by attaching leeches to her skin–apparently, in order to fight off the effects of aging. And here, I thought she had a Dorian Gray picture buried in the closet behind Ashton’s old trucker hats.
I found out about Demi’s creative anachronism from the description here, at Austrailia’s The Daily. According to their transcript, Moore had this to say on Dave:
I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy.
These aren’t just swamp leeches though – we are talking about highly trained medical leeches. These are not some low level scavengers – we’re talking high level blood suckers.
I have no charitable interpretation of what she means by “high level bloodsuckers.”

UPDATE: I learned recently that O’Reilly scooped me on this one by a week. Here are his thoughts, from his March 25th broadcast:
O’REILLY: On the pinhead front, actress Demi Moore is into health and healing.
(VIDEO CLIP PLAYS)
O’REILLY: High-class leaches. Well, for taking us back to Medieval times, Ms. Moore is a pinhead. Do not try that at home.
