Well, any way, Angela Mount made news about getting her taste buds insured some time ago, and now she and her taste buds are back in the news.
From Decanter.com:
Former Somerfield wine chief Angela Mount is turning her multi-million pound palate to coffee.
Mount - who made headlines around the world three years ago when Somerfield insured her taste buds for £10m (US$20million), saying at the time that they were 'vital to her job' - will advise Fairtrade and organic coffee company Percol.
She has also set up a wine advice website with ex-Western Wines MD Mike Paul, and also consults for the food and wine division of home tastings company Taste-In.
She will advise Percol on how to raise its consumer profile by addressing the parallels between coffee and wine.
'Until recently, people have tended to have a fairly simplistic view of coffee and this was mainly geared around strength,' said Mount. 'The wine industry has played a massive part in increasing people's experience of taste. Coffee is as diverse as wine. As with wine, soil, topography and climate produce different styles and flavours.'

I think that Betty Grable had her legs insured. I know that Tina Turner did.
