It turns out that becoming a celebrity involves more than simply the sparkle and glamor that one may expect. It is possible that in many instances, it will also come with struggles. Some followers take their fixations to an unhealthy level, going so far as to engage in behavior that is often unfathomable to show how much they care about the superstars they follow.
The passion of these nine celebrities' admirers has gone beyond simple interest and into the realm of absolutely weird and potentially harmful obsession, resulting in gifts that could never be purchased in stores. Scroll down to see the list of the nine creepiest gifts
celebrities received from fans

A dead rabbit was presented to Avril on one of her album promotion tours. Avril had no idea what the fan wanted because there was no note. However, some people believe that seeing a rabbit brings good fortune. Like the title of her debut album suggests, Avril let go and moved on from the incident, but it's unlikely that she's opened any more "weird presents" since then.
2. Jonas Brothers - Preserved Baby Shark

Fans have sneaked into the Jonas Brothers' hotel rooms and given them strange gifts, including a preserved baby shark. A fan on tour sent the brothers a gift without explanation. A baby shark was preserved in a tube. The brothers didn't know what to do with the present. A letter said, "Here's a dead shark." The most important question was "how" the fan got it.
3. Tricia Helfer - Sperm

When opening fan mail, the incident occurred. She didn't notice what was missing until she saw the letter's other contents: a photo of a man, woman, and child, a syringe filled with white liquid, and signs that the fan wanted her to have a family with him immediately. Tricia, uneasy and afraid, told a coworker about the encounter. Police were called afterward. Tricia didn't say what happened to the creepy fan when the detectives found him. Tricia Helfer is not alone in this, Iggy Azalea was sent semen, but her aide intercepted it.
4. Ed Sheeran - Cake With Human Hair

Sheeran never turns down food, and he accepts a fan's cake thinking it was a tasty surprise and kind present. Inside was a surprise as Sheeran found clumps of the woman's hair in the cake. Sheeran feels the fan was trying to get "inside" him. Sheeran has gotten less enthusiastic about cake to avoid another embarrassing moment.
5. Kesha - Teeth

Kesha's request doesn't seem out of character. She begged them to give her genuine teeth so she could make something with them while in eating disorder rehab. Her fans sent her nearly 1,000 teeth. Kesha made a bra, headpiece, earrings, and a necklace from the chompers. Her record Warrior headdress is created with fans' teeth. A fan brought Kesha a baby tooth, which she converted into a necklace. She started collecting teeth from there. Finally, she collected hundreds of fan teeth.
6. 2 PM - Letter With Menstrual Blood

Fans often write letters. It's how celebs know they're making it big. Not the letter's meaning went too far for 2 PM's Taecyeon, but how it was worded. An admirer used menstrual blood instead of ink. The fan said Taecyeon couldn't survive without her menstrual blood, even though he didn't know who she was. She included her pubic hair. Many of Taecyeon's fans thought the letter was phony until the writer stepped forward. She stated she wasn't a fan and wanted attention.
7. Zac Efron - Human Skin

Zac Efron didn't audition for this horror movie-sounding role. Due to his participation in Disney's High School Musical flicks and his subsequent fame, Efron has had his fair share of fan interactions, from receiving messages to having them drop gifts in his mailbox. One fan sent Efron a piece of her flesh. The actor, who opens his fan mail, found skin in an envelope. Now he laughs about the story since he doesn't know how to react to receiving skin.
8. Jared Leto - Human Ear

One fan sent 30 Seconds to Mars's actor and vocalist, his severed ear. In a 2013 interview, Leto said he found a severed human ear and a note asking, "Are you listening?" No more explanation or sender's identity was given. Leto tweeted a picture of his fan's morbid present and wore the ear as a necklace. Even though he used the ear, Leto asked for no more body parts.
9. Dolly Parton - A Baby
