In an interview with New York Daily News, Olivia Munn reveals she suffers from an anxiety disorder that causes her to pluck her own eyelashes out which is, somehow, big Internet news today presumably because Olivia Munn let a director masturbate with shrimp in front of her so that trumps boring ol’ car cunnilingus. Also, she doesn’t bite her lip or mumble, so there’s that:
Munn, who also currently stars in HBO’s “Newsroom” and the film “Magic Mike,” says she harbors too much anxiety to raise a child. “It’s not that I’m too busy with my career or anything, but I have this huge fear of something happening to a child of mine,” she says. “What if I’m not a good parent and my child turns out to be a jerk? Like I need more anxiety in my life.”
Munn says that anxiety manifests itself in her eyelash-plucking habit, an impulse-control disorder known as trichotillomania.
“I don’t bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes,” says the sexy “The Daily Show” correspondent. “It doesn’t hurt, but it’s really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes.”
Now before everybody goes, “Wow, that’s crazy” (Headline? What headline?), Aaron Sorkin thought it’d be a great idea to cast Olivia Munn as an economist with double PhDs on The Newsroom which is the real crazy here. Because, seriously, eyelash plucking? I drink my feelings, big whoop. But Olivia Munn: Economist? Don’t let that fucker near the water supply.

Eyelashes, not eyebrows.
Yeah for a second I was wondering why eyebrow plucking was so crazy, then had the thought that men really have no idea what women do to make themselves presetnable, and finally read the quote and promptly threw up in my mouth cause that creeped me right out.
Of course men know all the crap women do to make themselves presentable. We also know it’s a stupid waste of time because if every woman on the planet stopped using makeup, within 24 hours every man would be okay with it. On the other hand you don’t really do it for us, do you?
Yuup.
Yeah :)
Go fuck yourself, thumbdowner.
eyeLASHES not eyeBROWS
Legions of nerds will overlook this and fawn over her for reasons the rest of the world couldn’t give a shit about.
Y’know, when a person in the Entertainment Industry is wise enough, self-aware enough, and clear-headed enough to realize (and say publicly): “I’m not gonna have kids ’cause I’d make a really shitty parent!” I say, throw ‘em a fucking Oscar… AND and Emmy!
Agreed but I think we should hedge our bet by making those awards post-menopausal.
Munn is average in every way, except where she is below average. I get bored looking at her an annoyed when she speaks. Go away, Munn, you are taking up space that could be filled by Nina Dobrev.
Poor girl! She’s been through some terrible things.
Maybe she has posttraumatic suck disorder.
As a nerd, I’m still in love with her–because she spent years on Attack of the Show telling me that she played a videogame once. And that was enough to convince me that she would give me the time of day in real life.
Poor Olivia…Look, Liv, I’m already a dad and have been through it. I’d be willing to knock you up, then walk you through parenthood. Kids are a blast. Especially if they share your DNA.
(pssssst…please, no one tell her that I’ve been sterile for 25 years…
Her role on The Newsroom is completely pointless. She makes what could be a boring character (an economist) into an even more boring character.
To be fair, the show would suck anyway. It’s hard to care about any of the characters, and every week, they break a big news story (from several years ago) and they all run around the newsroom trying to out-smug each other over JOURNALISM AND GOODNESS while the orchestra swells. Pure shlock.
EVERYONE’S role on Newsroom is pointless. You’re totally right about it being shit. It’s probably the most masturbatory show on TV.
I pull my eyelashes out too… hate getting them in my eyes, so I preempt that from occurring by yanking out the loose ones :)
Not gonna lie, I used to have the same problem when I was a kid. I also used to have to bang my head against a pillow to fall asleep lol. Oh, and did I mention I had to count all my stuffed animals and make sure the faucets were turned off like 5 times?
Still single.
Hahaha!! Oh, Bianca. This is why I love you so.
Yeah, I used to pull my eyelashes out too. They were just never in a straight enough line, it seemed. Now I just masturbate chronically, though I worry what’ll happen when RSI or arthritis sets in. Hopefully I won’t end up periodically murdering a hobo.
Has Marie Munn resigned yet? Arrested on Monday, she needs to step down. When is the next Board Meeting seudehlcd? If she doesn’t step down by then, I would hope that the public shows up to it demanding she step down or be removed. I know I will attend.
I guess when you’re a self obsessed bitch you have reason to worry your kids will be jerks. Or not give a shit about you when they grow up.
Crazy like a fox!
I love how she’s brave enough to come out with her ~crazy thing, even knowing websites like this will pull it through the boring mean routine. What a lovely, brave woman.
id munnch on her
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fuck off Munngolian. You suck in every area.
Let me reassure you Olivia, that most kids are jerks. Kinda unavoidable.And I’m glad you don’t want kids because that’s the last thing I want to do with you. Fuck buddies for life! Nice tits in Magic Mike though.
Btw, did they refer to her as a “Daily Show” correspondent? I watch every episode. I haven’t seen her on that show in over a year.
Wow, those pictures make her look like an old school pinup queen who isn’t attractive or talented.
Daily show corespondent? In what universe?
This one, unfortunately.
I accidentally ripped out half my eyelashes once with my eyelash curler. That’s was pretty awesome. The sun was super bright. Took them three months to grow back. But I didn’t do the fake eyelash shit. I just sported ‘em and told people, “yeah, I ripped ‘em out. Ha! Oops!”
Your friends probably thought you were high when you ripped them out. Um…were you?
Haha! No I wasn’t! I probably would’ve been more careful if I had been high. Haha!
I have no particular beef with this plain, untalented, woman…but the fact that she somehow keeps getting work and keeps getting foisted on me in gossip sites makes be want to headbutt her in the face.
Truthfully? Sometimes I have ice cream for breakfast with my coeffe. This new and utterly unhealthy habit began within the last couple months when my daughter has slept horribly. I’m not proud of it, but seriously cookies and cream ice cream with a bit of chocolate sauce along with your coeffe which contains almond joy creamer? OH YUM.
I saw her on a talk show interview recently.
You can see how untalented she is, and the word salad she spews doesn’t make her sound very intelligent either.
she looks pretty here. cant stand her classless personality though
It’s not an unusual habit.
I feel like I should say this, having used to do that myself: When you dont have eyelashes, FAKE ONES HAVE NOTHING TO STICK TO AND ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO WEAR THEM. She’s full of sh*t.
She didn’t say she ripped them ALL out.
ive had some girls at school over the years that did that. i remember one girl when i was in grade 2 that did it. I was young at the time and thought wtf is wrong with this bitch, and she had a mullet
who ever wrote this article has NOOOOO idea what they are talking about. i have been suffering with trichotillomania since i was 12. ppl do your research. dont judge because it sounds weird. its like telling someone with ocd or anxiety to stop acting like that and be normal. you cant! it is very hard and embarrasing.. i do my eyebrows and lashes(sometimes) you dont even realize your doing it. its like an anxiety attack you cant just stop.it must have been very hard for her to admit this as it is for me. i have SEVERE fibromyalgia and im 30 so are you going to tell me to stop being in pain? sorry no this article and these comments are offensive
You must be new to this site.
hey angel from staten island, no one cares.
I have been lucky enough to have visietd Africa a number of times and my parents lived in Zambia for a few years before I was born. It is a beautiful country and far richer in life and culture than many seem to realise. I agree with you about the attitudes, if we could be even half as optimistic and free-spirited we would be far happier and improved. You have made me want to visit Haiti too now!
I wouldn’t care at all, if jtusin bieber went out with her, Come on his a 16 years old , he’s a teenager. With all the fame its pretty hard to live a regular teenage life, such as dating- just let him do what he wants. Many would be heart Broken, but the true fans would be the ones who would be happy for him.
