Abigail Breslin refuses to watch medical TV shows - because she is a hypochondriac.

The child star admits the shows make her fear she will be struck down by an illness.

She tells New York gossip column Page Six, “I’m not allowed to watch medical TV shows. (Once), I was worried that I was going to step on glass, so I wore shoes even in bed… I thought I had bird flu, so for a long time I wouldn’t go near any birds.”

And Breslin, who recently filmed Nim’s Island in Australia, feared she had been bitten by a poisonous spider, so she made sure she was pals with the set’s first aider.

She adds, “My best friend on the set was the medic.”

Little Miss Sunshine star Abigail Breslin gave Australia’s animals something to smile about - thanks to a swear box on the set of her new family film Nim’s Island.

Appalled by Scottish actor Gerard Butler’s cursing, the child star insisted that all cast and crew pay $2 every time they swore in front of her - and she gave the cash to animal charity the Royal Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (RSPCA).

She says, “All together, with everybody contributing to the swear jar, we made $150 and we donated it to the RSPCA.” Breslin admits co-star Butler was responsible for much of the cash she raised. She adds, “It built up to, like, $12 really quickly and then he said to me, ‘I’m gonna give you $20, and the next four times that I swear I don’t have to pay you. I get them for free.’ “I’m like, ‘That’s not the way it works.’”

Actress Cameron Diaz and child star Abigail Breslin film scenes together in their upcoming movie ‘My Sister’s Keeper‘ in Los Angeles. Cameron hid from photographers all day and even got her security guard to block anyone getting pictures with an umbrella.

I’ve heard some disturbing news on the internet:

Received this e mail today:

I went to see Jodi Picoult at a book signing last night. She discussed how this book is being made into a movie. However, she informed us that they are changing the ending!! She was very upset about this and confronted the production company at which point she was told “readers don’t matter!” She is asking for the help of her fans. Please email these two people and tell them you want the ending to remain the same!
