Demi hails blood-sucking therapy
BBC

Actress Demi Moore has confessed to indulging in an unusual alternative therapy - blood-sucking leeches.

The 45-year-old told US talk show host David Letterman she tried the treatment in Austria as part of a detox plan.

She said: "You watch it swell up on your blood... then when it's super drunk it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar."

Leeches have been used in medicine for centuries and are often used today in reconstructive surgery.

3. Isn't she married to Ashton Kutcher now?
Sheesh, Demi, you don't need to go all the way to Austria for leech therapy -- you've got one right at home.
