Phobias come in all forms. Miley Cyrus and other celebs share the strange things that give them the heebie jeebies.

Scarlett Johansson – Ornithophobia

After filming We Bought a Zoo, the 41-year-old admitted she’d had to overcome one irrational animal fear. “I’m only scared of birds,” she said. “Something about wings and beaks and the flapping. I’m terrified of them.” She added that an uncle shares her aversion, “so it runs in the family.”

“I have such a phobia of belly buttons!” the 41-year-old posted on social media. “I’m so grossed out to touch my own. Yuck, I just hate them. I have to scream every time I clean my bb.” When she was pregnant with her first child, the reality star was especially grossed out as her belly grew and her “innie” became an “outie”!

January Jones – Misophonia

“It’s gotten progressively worse over the years,” the Mad Men alum shared in a recent Instagram post about her extreme sensitivity to certain sounds. The 47-year-old went on to call out her brother-in-law for taunting her by purposely munching chips. “I’ve talked to him about this many times, and he seems to think it’s funny to eat chips around me now… it’s an ongoing joke,” January lamented, adding, “I just think it’s really unkind.”

The 33-year-old joked that the real reason she’s marrying Maxx Moranda is so he’ll be around to open all her Amazon packages. Turns out the “Flowers” singer is afraid of paper! “I hate paper,” she told talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel, making gagging noises when he slid his notecards across his desk. “The real problem with me with paper is when people have dry hands and they touch paper!”

To many, they’re beautiful as they flit among the flowers, but to the reality star, butterflies — whose populations have been declining due to loss of habitat and other causes —are the object of fear. “I’m terrified, terrified of butterflies,” the 28-year-old mom of two admitted during an outing to a butterfly preserve on an episode of her spinoff show, Life of Kylie. “This is how I think of them: Cut the wings off, and if you just look at their bodies, they’re not that pretty. It’s literally a bug.”
