From taste-making musicians like M.I.A. to Hollywood heartthrobs like Ashton Kutcher, a number of stars appear to be preparing for the worst, according to the folks at TheFrisky.com, who have compiled a list of celebs who fear the end of the world.
Kutcher for one, doesn't take this apocalypse stuff lightly. The former "Punk'd" host has reportedly stocked up on guns and amped up his physical fitness routine so he can save his loved ones from Armageddon.
"I'm going to be ready to take myself and my family to a safe place where they don't have to worry," he said.
"All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end of day," he explained. "I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about."
While Kutcher sees the end of the world as a time when people spoiled by modern conveniences will be forced to fight for land and food, rapper Lil Wayne says he can see the signs of the end times all around him.
In 2008, the New Orleans emcee offered up plenty of evidence that the apocalypse will occur in 2012.
"The world is about to end in 2012 ... 'cause the Mayans made calendars, and they stop at 2012. I got encyclopedias on the bus. The world is about to end as we know it. You can see it already. A planet doesn't exist -- there's no more Pluto. Planes are flying into buildings -- and not just the Twin Towers. Mosquitoes bite you and you die. And a black man and a woman are running for president."
Turns out, Lil Wayne isn't the only one with a faulty understanding of the Mayan calendar.
There's also Mel Gibson -- who cemented his reputation as a man knowledgeable about both ancient Mexican mythological traditions and the end times with his film "Apocalypto."
"The precursors to a civilization that's going under are the same, time and time again. What's human sacrifice if not sending guys off to Iraq for no reason? ... I just wanna draw the parallels. I don't wanna be a doomsayer, but the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. So have fun, boys and girls!"
