Okay, here are a couple that I know of..

Tommy Stinson (current bass player with Guns N’ Roses and ex-Replacements) has hayfever as reported in Kerrang magazine when asked to name 10 things that make his blood boil

Hayfever

"I drove through Minneapolis coming back to LA from the Bahamas and it was terrible. Los Angeles is so dry and it has this really high pollen count. I guess it's not a problem you have in London. What's the worst thing there right now? Is it mould spores with all that rain? Seriously, I was kidding. I like the UK really."

Dizzy Reed (keyboard player in Guns N’ Roses) is reportedly allergic to cats according to his wife. She posts on a Dizzy messageboard and commented about Dizzy’s cat allergy in one of the pet threads.

Trent Reznor apparently has a million and one allergies to his name.

Trent is waiting for a cortisone shot form a doctor. (As a child he had bad allergies-cats and dust and ragweed and grass and corn-and his ears were all messed up. His doctor put tubes in Trent's ears to equalize the pressure, and when Trent went swimming at the Mercer public pool he had to wear a tan bathing cap. "That was the source of much childhood trauma," he recalls.) Today, Trent has a deep red rash running all the way up his right arm. It's on his legs too. He thinks it might have been the hotel sheets in New York. A slightly dippy girl on the other side of the dressing room says, "Maybe you're allergic to me." Trent doesn't look impressed.

Jon Bon Jovi apparently has hayfever. I remember reading this in a magazine many years ago (possibly around 1993ish when I was a huge fan) and they commented that he had to go get a cortisone shot before a concert in England. I googled it and found this

The gig was in an open field with flat fields all around. Bit concerned that the field of rape right next to the stage wouldn't do Jon's hayfever any favours.

And this

During spring he has allergies and hay fever.

Jack Ryder who acted Jamie Mitchell in Eastenders, and maybe can't really be described as a celebrity, has hayfever. There was a photo of him a few months back in Heat magazine taken by a fan and he had cucumber on his eyes in a night club because, the fan said, he was sneezing so much from allergies.

*sinks into a pleasure coma* :P

Just a couple that I know of, and one that heard a rumor of.

The one that I know of is Dominic Monaghan (of Lord of the Rings and now ABC's "Lost" fame). He mentions it in the commentaries for each of the first two Lord of the Rings movies. Here is a link which contains the written out commentary of the Fellowship of the Ring. I haven't been able to find anything for Two Towers, but if you have the extended DVD, listen to the cast commentary for the scene near the beginning of the movie when Merry and Pippin are being carried off by the Uruk Hai.

One that is only a rumor is I have heard that Orlando Bloom has hayfever. Unfortunately I don't have a link for this one. I did read it on a website one time, but that site no longer exists. :P But I do have a link to a picture of Orlando as Legolas where his nose is a bit pinkish. :nosad:

One more that I know of is the Backstreet Boys Nick Carter. I have seen several links with this info including this one and this one. I'm not really a fan of his, but someone else might find it interesting. :nosad:

Tiger Woods. Apparently allergic to the whole outdoors. This is one of a few articles where it was mentioned in how it affects his game.

Leah Remi. She sneezed twice on a VH1 show documenting her pregnancy and made quick mention of her pregnancy making her allergies worse. There are clips in Celluloid Sneezing. There is also a quick mention by her in this web interview by Stuff magazine.

Tori Spelling, cats. Found this article saying "...cats were never part of the Spelling home because of severe allergies suffered by Tori and her mom..."

Ty Pennington of Trading Spaces and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has allergies. Found

this article and also this one saying that he is a spokesman for Claritan and has allergies, but the articles don't specify to what.

James Cromwell, cats. Found article at The Pet Press

Eric Balfour, cats. In another article from The Pet Press , Eric says that he used to be allergic to dogs but isn't anymore, although he is still allergic to cats.

Mario López, cats. This article says that he "immediately started itching, sneezing and coughing" when a cat pounced on his shoulder.

I don't want to just copy other people's posts, so I will just add this link to a thread on this forum from a while ago where other celebrity allergies were mentioned.

Didn't I read somewhere that Jane Seymour (dr. Quinn) is allergic to some kind of pollen? Or did I dream that up too? :drool:

A great idea ! I have been putting away snippets of information for years about celebrities with hayfever. I'll put it into alphabetical order and post. And the great thing is, that in spite of already having a scrap book full of references, about half those just posted are new to me.

In the meantime, perhaps not eveyone knows that there is a scrapbook on sportsmen (and some women) with hayfever on the Males4males sneezing site :

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sneezingmale...ith%20hayfever/

It is ordered by sport, so doesnt have general things, such as a discovery I recently made :

"Coe, Sebastian, English long distance runner of the 1970’s “ Seb was a continual sufferer with hay fever”

This is the list of celebrities I have record of having allergies (hayfever, anything sneezy!), except sportsmen, which are found here :

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sneezingmale...ith%20hayfever/

There is some repetition of what has already been posted, as I haven’t had time to prune appropriately, so I apologize for that. Apologies are also due since I have not checked all the URL’s – these worked at the time, but some must be obsolete. In general, I have a copy of what was actually said or written, so I can probably supply the odd juicy detail.

Adams, Bryan, Winter 1997 Bryan Adams has been rocking the music scene for nearly fifteen years. When I was in France last year I had a bit of hayfever because the pollen was out

Arm, Mark Mark Arm (Mudhoney) Mark Arm has allergies. Sitting on the dining room table of Arm's modest Seattle home, among stacks of books and CDs of Mudhoney's new album, Tomorrow Hit Today, are several bottles of prescription allergy medication. They all bear Arm's real last name, which surprises me less than the fact that he takes the same medication that I do. Arm is allergic to grasses and molds; I am allergic to grasses, molds and the allergen that is contained in the saliva of pets. In the few minutes I have been sitting here, Arm's dog has virtually painted my leg with saliva. I'm worried that if the dog doesn't stop using me as a salt lick, I'll have to steal some of Mark Arm's expensive medication

Bayley, Blaze Iron Maiden - Heavy metallers Iron Maiden were forced to cancel three gigs in California earlier this week after singer Blaze Bayley succumbed to a nasty bout of hay fever! As the band travelled through the desert on their way to the west coast, the unfortunate Blaze allegedly suffered an allergic reaction to the local cacti (not a problem back home in Tamworth, we believe!), which was severe enough to keep him from performing. The band have apologised to fans hoping to catch them on this summer's Metal Mania tour, and have already rescheduled their LA date for early next month.

While in England I saw an oblique reference to Gary Oldman http://www.magdeburg-online.de/movies/star...an_gary/in1.jpg as having hayfever, and looked on the web. This is what I found : “ Like anyone going through a traumatic period, Oldman found solace in work. 'It's Doctor Theatre, isn't it. You can have hay fever and go on stage to play Hamlet and you won't sneeze once. The moment you come offstage you start sneezing again. It's the same with emotion. You forget everything else, and just act.'
