7. Patrick Dempsey

Patrick Dempsey Patrick Dempsey from Grey’s Anatomy has a superstition. He’s intelligent, confident and has major talent. Even he has a longing for his lucky charm, which he has to take everywhere. What would that be? That would be his red Puma racing shoes. He wears them for luck whenever he is on the track.

She will go out of her way to avoid walking under one. She has said that she has never walked under a ladder in her life, sticking to this common superstition to stay on the safe side.

4. Giada De Laurentiis

She is famous on the Food Network. She has two superstitions. The two superstitions are spilling the salt and no cats on the bed. Ever since ancient times, spilling salt has been unlucky. The cat on the bed superstition started during the 16th century Italy. It was believed that if a black cat lay on the bed a sick man was in, he would die.

1. Sisqo

Sisqo is the lead singer of Dru Hill. He has a superstition about his hat. That hat is always a part of his wardrobe when he is on stage. It has to be on his head the entire time. If it isn’t, then the performance isn’t one hundred percent.
