Sheryl Crow Thinks She Got a Brain Tumor From Her Cell Phone, and Other Tales of Terror
CelebritiesDirt BagI always knew that Stephen King books were based in reality: Sheryl Crow struck fear into the hearts of all by suggesting that her benign brain tumor was caused by cell phone use, although “there are no doctors that will confirm that,” she told Katie Couric. “I do have the theory that it’s possible that it’s related to that. I [used to spend] hours on the old archaic cell phones.”
Concerned that she had early-onset Alzheimers, Crow went to the doctor when she began forgetting song lyrics and generally feeling “mushy” (her word), and luckily everything turned out OK. This is kind of similar to that whole myth/possible reality that putting your laptop on your lap fries your eggs, or whatever. Is that true? If you know, email me. [NYDN, KatieCouric.com]
