People are bored. When people are bored, they tend to come up with weird and wonderful conspiracy theories, often about those in the spotlight. Some of them are eerily convincing (I personally believe Michael Jackson is chilling on a beach in Hawaii somewhere) while some are outright wacky.
Here are some of the best and funniest pop culture conspiracy theories that will have you scratching your head for the rest of the day.
Rihanna Can't Wink
One of the funnier conspiracy theories on the list is when Ben Henry started a Twitter thread back in 2016 with all the "evidence" that Rihanna can not wink.
A series of Gifs seemed to be all the proof needed for this theory to take off.
See more bizarre celebrity conspiracy theories:
No Wink
She may come close but always fails to complete a proper wink.
Whether that’s truly the case if she has just never been caught executing a solid wink on camera, she remains a total diva.
Also, did you know that Solange is Beyoncé’s daughter?
Lorde Is Old
This conspiracy even sparked a South Park episode, so you know it’s good…
...when Lorde emerged with her hit “Royals” in 2013, a group of people dedicated to the truth claimed she was way older than her said age of 17.
Birth Certificate Proof
Luckily this rumor didn’t gain too much ground and was put to rest when The Hairpin requested a copy of her birth certificate.
Lorde happily complied, and it was proved that Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor was indeed born on Nov. 7, 1996.
Michael Jackson And His Sister Latoya Are The Same Person
While I believe the King of Pop is still alive, many have a wackier theory that Michael Jackson and his sister Latoya are one and the same.
That picture of them together must just be some genius photo cropping.
Born Two Years Apart
Theorists seemed to ignore the fact that they have appeared together multiple times and that the two were born two years apart.
But hey, faking a double life when you were the world's biggest celebrity seems more believable!
The Simpsons Predicted 9/11
It’s been a freaky phenomenon for years- the Simpsons creator somehow knows how to ‘predict things’ or so they say.
In the shows ninth premier “The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson,” Lisa holds up an ad for a $9 trip to Manhattan that shows the “9” next to an image of the Twin Towers….apparently that translated as a 9/11 prediction somehow or another.
Coincidence or not you’ve got to admit its kind of freaky.
The Simpsons In Manhattan
The episode was taken off after 9/11 occurred but has since been put back on rotation.
It follows the Simpson family on a trip to Manhattan where their car was abandoned near the world trade center.
Courtney Love Killed Kurt Cobain
The death of Kurt Cobain deeply affected many people, so much so that 20 years after it was officially ruled as suicide there were still people claiming that the Rockstar was murdered.
Suspects ranged from his former lover Courtney Love to members of his and Nirvana. Some even went so far as to claim Courtney handwrote part of his suicide note.
Photos From The Crime Scene
In 1998, the documentary Kurt & Courtney found no evidence that Courtney was behind Kurt’s death.
Despite this, the lead theorist when it comes to Cobain, Seattle based writer Richard Bean pushed for more photos of Cobain’s crime scene to be released after Kurt and Courtney’s daughter Frances Bean said the release of more pictures would “encourage disturbed stalkers and fanatical threats”.
Lee didn’t seem to care and to this day, has a growing list of murder suspects with Courtney at the top.
Solange Is Actually Beyoncé’s Daughter
If you think a fake baby bump is strange, take this theory- Solange is Beyoncé’s daughter rather then sister.
Yup, there are those out there that question just how old Beyoncé is. This is based on some wonderfully wacky ‘pieces of evidence’.
No Proof For The Following
Number 1: A ‘birth certificate; from the Department of Health in Texas claiming Beyoncé’ was born in 1974… (my god she ages well).
Number 2: Taking Gabrielle Union VERY seriously when she said she’s grown up with Beyoncé (Union was born in 1972) and Number 3: A random employee at Columbia Records claiming to have seen Bey’s driving license with her birth year listed as 1974…
Beyoncé Faked Her Pregnancy
Of course, many theories are surrounding the queen of music, Beyoncé. People started speculating the moment Bey announced she was pregnant at the VMA’s in 2011. While the first rumor was that Beyoncé and Jay Z were using a surrogate when her baby bump started to show people got talking.
It all started when Queen B appeared in an interview on Australian TV and those looking REALLY hard claimed they saw her stomach ‘folding in’ when she sat down…
Life Is But A Dream
Her reps were quick to tell ABC that those baby bump rumors were “stupid, ridiculous, and false”. Bey herself addressed the media scrutiny she is constantly under in her documentary ‘Life is But a Dream’, also confirming she miscarried before Blue Ivy was born.
“It’s hard to go through public experiences when you’re in the public eye because it’s hard to have closure.”
Katy Perry Is JonBenét Ramsey
The JonBenet Ramsey murder has enough conspiracy theories for this entire article, but have you heard the most bizarre of them all - the JonBenet is, in fact, the one and only Katy Perry? I think not!
A YouTube video from 2014, which for some reason keeps popping back up, has a man named Dave Johnson claiming the whole murder was a set up for Katy Perry to emerge…
“Nobody died, nobody got hurt”
“Nobody died, nobody got hurt,” he says in the video. “That sacrifice was in name only, and that was to get something, and that something was to become a star.”
For what reason a staged murder had to happen for Perry to become who she is today is still a mystery, but he is convinced with his proof that JonBenet’s parents look freakishly like Katy Perry’s folks Keith and Mark.
Khloé Kardashian Is O.J. Simpson's Daughter
We have all heard this one- Khloe Kardashian is O.J Simpson’s daughter, and we must admit, there are some convincing arguments as to why this may be true.
Firstly, it's well-known that Kris was great friends with O.J and his ex-wife and her husband was O/J’s lawyer, then there is the fact that Khloe not only has a darker complexion than her sisters but has a body-type way more like that of O’J’s than her late father Robert Kardashian.
Deny, deny, deny
Despite the rumor mill on full blast with this one, Khloe and O.J have repeatedly denied this to be the case with Kris Kardashian even taking a maternity test on the show!
Regardless of that public stint, many people maintain Khloe is O’J’s daughter, end of story.
Elvis Presley Is Still Alive
The King of Rock N Roll is still alive in our hearts, but some people maintain he is still alive in reality! Despite the official report that Presley died in Graceland from a heart attack in 1977, many swore they have seen him walking the streets since.
Leading the pack of theorists is the Canadian based Elvis Sighting Society (yes…there is a society) who are avid believers that Elvis walks among us.
Plenty of Theories
Although there are so many Elvis impersonators around that it makes sense people have ‘spotted him’, the theory goes that Elvis fakes his death to live life as a simple citizen named Jon Burrows…
In 1990, fans swore they spotted Elvis in the background during an airport scene in Home Alone, but director Chris Columbus shot that rumor down real fast. Then there are those he still lives in Graceland… perhaps staging as the gardener?
Tupac Is Still Alive
Not only is the king of rock-n-roll still alive, but the king of rap too!
Yup, according to many Tupac did not fall victim to a drive-by shooting in 1996 but is still living life healthy and well.
So Many Questions
The latest rumor is that he is living in Malaysia of all places with the king of the rumor mill being Tupac’s old friend, rapper Papa Suge who insists time and time again that Pac is still among us!
In a recent documentary he stated “When I left that hospital, me and Pac was laughing and joking. I don’t see how somebody could turn from doing well to doing bad.”Very eerie…
Marilyn Monroe Was Murdered
Now, this is one I could get behind, I’m sure many jealous or obsessed eyes could want to cause harm to the blonde beauty.
Although the L.A Country coroner’s office rules Monroe’s death in 1962 as a probable suicide, the theories haven’t stopped about what else could have caused her early death.
A CIA Operation?
The most popular theory point to the CIA as the guilty party claiming they murdered Monroe so that her alleged affair with the president at the time, JFK, would not leak to the public…
...seems like drastic measures, no?
Jim Morrison Was Murdered
Murders were cleverly covered up. 40 years after the Doors frontman was found dead in his bathtub due to heart failure, Marianne Faithful told Mojo magazine that it was rather her boyfriend that killed the musician.
Her boyfriend at the time, Jean de Breateuil, was dealing heroin to clients like Morrison.
No Autopsy
Her exact statement went as follows: “He went to see Jim Morrison and killed him. I mean I’m sure it was an accident. Poor bastard,” she told the magazine.
What helps her accusations is that no autopsy was ever performed on the singer since French law doesn’t require it. Thanks to this, theories about Morrison's death are rife including the one that he is still partying it up in Ohio!
The FBI Killed Biggie And Tupac
We all remember the scary time where within six months both Tupac and Biggie Smalls were murdered.
Still today these murders remain a mystery giving many reasons to come up with their conspiracy with regards to this West Coast vs. East Coast battle.
Rapper Hit Jobs
The theory is that the FBI ordered hit jobs on both rappers in what was, essentially, a war on rap.
The theory goes that it was the FBI who ordered hit jobs on these two rap gods, in essence, to try and kill rap itself! John Potash published a book about this theory in 2008 based on interviews and CIA, FBI, and court documents that suggest Tupac was under surveillance by the FBI before he died…seedy stuff.
Prince Harry Isn’t Prince Charles’s Son
With his red hair and pale complexion, the royal rumor mill has it that Prince Harry is not Charles, but rather James Hewitt- the late Princess Diana’s horse-riding instructor!
In 1986, two years after Harry’s birth, Princess D began an affair with her instructor that lasted five years. Both parties confirmed their affair and since then, Hewitt has not escaped the paternity conspiracy.
Not Possible
Hewitt has been vocal about the fact that he is NOT the father, stating on Harry’s 18th birthday to the Sunday Mirror, “There is really no possibility that I am Harry’s father.
I can absolutely assure you that I am not,” despite his own admission that they both have red hair and look alike.
J.K. Rowling Isn’t Real
Now this one is good! Everyone knows the story of Harry Potter creator J.K Rowling- a single mother with money struggles came up with the idea on a train, wrote the first book in cafes, and became the wealthiest author to exist.
But some question if this is really how it all played out.
A Team Of Advertisers
This theory goes that J.K Rowling is only a prop in the masterminds behind Harry Potter, who is really a team of advertisers who came up with Harry Potter in a lab as a franchise that would appeal to the entire world!
I guess it’s just hard for some people to believe that anyone could come up with something as perfect as Harry Potter…
Stephen King Killed John Lennon
Okay, just hear him out - one Steven Lightfoot interrupted a meeting of the Sarasota City Commission in Florida in 2009 to make an important announcement.
He suggested that following the orders of Nixon and Raegan, author Stephen King rather than Mark David’s Chapman was the one guilty for murdering Jon Lennon…
The Lightfoot Conspiracy
Lightfoot has made a whole business out of this bizarre conspiracy with a whole website and more information at a price.
His central claim is that Nixon and Raegan wanted Lennon’s anti-war message out of America, and instead of hiring a professional hitman to do the job they thought…hey! What about Stephen King! Sounds believable right?
Lewis Carroll Was Jack the Ripper
There have been many conspiracy theories surrounding the weird and wonderful Lewis Carroll who came up with the Alice in Wonderland and just as many theories about Jack the Ripper responsible for the thread of awful murders.
But this theory links the two together: in 1996, Richard Wallace published Jack the Ripper, Light-Hearted Friend, asserting that Carroll had teamed up with Thomas Vere Bayne for the murders.
Confession
Wallace had some interesting proof for his theory.
He based it on anagrams from Carroll’s The Nursery “Alice” and the first volumes of Sylvie and Bruno which Wallace claimed were confessions from the author.
Walt Disney’s Body Is Cryogenically Frozen
This theory that has persisted through the years takes Disney’s Frozen franchise to new levels.
And its all thanks to the president of Cryonics Society of California who revealed to the L.A. Times in 1972 that Walt Disney Studios inquired about the process right before Disney died in 1966.
Walt Disney Family Museum
Disney’s daughter Diane Disney Miller tried her best t put an end to the rumors by opening up the Disney family museum in 2012.
One of her main reasons was because her kids were constantly getting asked questions such as “My mother said your grandfather was anti-Semitic,” or, “Your grandfather is frozen, isn’t he?”
Nicolas Cage Is A Vampire
Jack Mord, an antique dealer, got the rumor mill running in 2011 when he listed a photograph on eBay that was taken around 1870 and featured a man looking eerily similar to Nicholas Cage.
Mord captured the listing “Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead/vampire … who quickens/reinvents himself once every 75 years or so.”
You Can't Take Pictures Of Vampires
Nicholas Cage addressed the rumor with the utmost style "You can't take pictures of vampires,” he told David Letterman in 2012.
“I don't drink blood and the last time I looked in the mirror I had a reflection.” Likely story.
Pokémon Go Is a Government Spy Program
We all remember when people were looking down on their phones walking around like robots, lost in the world of Pokémon Go. The year of 2016, when adults and children alike walk around in circled catching animated creatures until their phones die.
But there was a catch, the developer of the account, Niantic has gained unlimited access to Google accounts registered I the app.
Questionable Use Of GPS Tracking
That the GPS used in this game was far more than just racking Squirtles and Charmander’s.
The conspiracy that all our information was being stored to hand over to law-enforcement for something quasi-legal remains to this day, though the game is still incredibly popular, so people don’t seem to care.
Justin Bieber Is a Lizard Person
No, you didn’t misread. There are those out there that believe that Baby singer Justin Bieber is in fact, a lizard.
In early 2017 an Australian site posted a now-deleted report that a bystander claimed to see Bieber transform into a lizard. In public. In broad daylight.
Blinking Like A Lizard
And while most deemed this at total rubbish, some speculated further claiming the Biebs is pat if the reptilian-Illuminati bloodline… that claim coupled with a video from 2014 showing Justin ‘blinking like a lizard’ when he was arrested was ‘proof’ of his lizard ways.
Let’s just say if that the case he and Hailey Baldwin are about to make some gorgeous lizard babies!
There’s Not Just One Andrew W.K.
Okay, try to swallow this: Andrew W.K. is not one man.
He is rather a piece of pretty elaborate performance art created by a group of people who all play the Andrew W.K. character at different times.
New Haircut?
The biggest proof for this theory is the pictures of Andrew having differed length hair and beard at different stages of his career…
...because people aren’t allowed haircuts?
One Direction’s Management Hid “Larry Stylinson” From The World
“X Celebrity Is Gay” theories are a dime a dozen but very few of them are as involved as this one.
The conspiracies that certain celebs are gay are plentiful, but none are quite at complexed as this one.
Believers of this theory insist that Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson aka Larry Stylinson have been romantically linked for years kept hush-hush by their anger who wants girl fans to believe they have a chance will all members of 1D.
Conspiracy Interrupting With Real Friendship
Theorists are so dedicated to their theory that they watch every look, tattoo, touch, and photo of the two trying to reveal the ‘special’ bond’ between them.
So much so that Louis and Harry who have denied the theory multiple times have said that it has interrupted their real friendship as they are both so busy trying not to give theorists more ammunition for the ridiculous conspiracy!
Stanley Kubrick Faked the Moon Landing
We all know the conspiracies surrounding the moon landing are pretty endless, but for the sake of our pop-culture conspiracy theory list, we are focusing on one.
Now let’s put two and two together, firstly assume the whole moon landing was a setup and did not happen, then take the fact that Stanley Kubrick directed “2001: A Space Odyssey” which came out in 1968, now out the two together…
Hints In 'The Shining'?
You got it! The theory goes that NASA hired Kubrick to “direct: the moon landing which they then broadcast to live television.
Believers of this wacky conspiracy believe Kubrick even dropped hints about his involvement in “The Shining” (which itself is so allegedly full of symbolism that there’s an entire documentary about it).
Every Celebrity Is In The Illuminati
The Illuminati was once a very real thing: a secret society founded in the 18th century Bavaria that opposed tyranny and supported the separation of Church and State.
But in 17000 it died out thanks to the leader of Bavaria outlawing the societies.
Reformed And Expanded
Conspiracy theorists think the group just reformed and expanded, and has been manipulating world events for centuries.
Or did it? Many many people believe it did not die out but has only expanded and has been manipulating events for centuries thanks to the involvement of the most influential and rich celebs such as Lad Gaga, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Madonna, and company.
They are the ones with the power of indoctrination the public through symbols in their music and videos…
Paul McCartney Is Dead
One of the most popular on our list- Paul McCartney’s death. The theory supposes that McCartney died in a car accident in 1966, a fact hidden by the Beatles for the duration of their career.
Sleuths assume they got a lookalike replacement and that the cover of Abbey Road is in fact, a “Funeral procession” for Paul.
Successful Solo Career
How the look-alike has done so well in his solo career, touring and still creating great music is the biggest mystery of them all…
...that and why there wasn't a John Lennon replacement.
Avril Lavigne Was Replaced By A Look-Alike In 2003
This conspiracy was fuelled by none other than someone trying to prove just how easy it is to create conspiracies.
It goes as follows: tomboy Rockstar Avril Levine committed suicide. Her record wanted to continue profiting off her, so they replaced her with a look-alike named Melissa Vandella.
Avril Is "Melissa"?
Although the blog post creator made it clear that the theory was just an illustration of how conspiracy theories are made, when BuzzFeed picked up on it began creating the buzz of a real conspiracy.
To this day, people comb through photos and lyrics looking for proof that Avril is Melissa.
The Titanic Didn’t Sink
Okay picture it- the Titanic didn’t sink, rather the whole thing was an insurance scam. Rather it was the Titanic sister ship, the Olympic, that sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic on April 15, 1912.
Just follow us here for a second: it all started when the Olympic which was the twin if the Titanic, crashed into the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in 1911 and White Star Line, owner of the twin ships, was found to be at fault for the collision equalling major money loss.
Insurance Scheme
The conspiracy is that to make up for the financial hit, Morgan’s owned White Star Line patched up its damaged goods and sent it out disguised at the Titanic…he then planned it’s sinking for the kind of insurance payment that would more than make up for the money lost.
While there are a lot of details to sort through and some rather questionable prods, consider the fact that Morgan was supposed to be one of the people aboard the Titanic but conveniently canceled those plans.
Princess Diana Was Murdered
This theory is convinced the Princes D’s awful crash was a carefully planned murder, by Prince Philip none the less. The Prince ordered the British Secret Service, MI6, to murder Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed, and stage it to look like a crash.
The motive claimed is that Diana was a pregnancy with Fayed child and the two planned to announce their engagement soon, something that would not go down well with the British Royal family thanks to Fayed being a Muslim, not a Christian.
Death By Paparazzi
This theory is especially disturbing because it has been in part supported by Fayed’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed.
The most frightening this is that Fayed’s dad himself supports this theory. However, the death was ruled as “unlawful killing” by driver Henri Paul who was drunk at the time and the aggressive paparazzi on their tail.
Britney Spears Was An Instrument Of The Bush Administration
Who could forget Britney Spears' public meltdown, the whole world could not get enough of the poor girl who was busy shaving her head and embarrassing herself in public.
But, according to this theory, it was not the pop star melting own on her own, but on request of the Bush administration to grab headlined away from the corrupt and incompetent White House.
Scandinavian Style Mansion Party
While you may think this theory hilarious, sleuths claim to see Britney canoodling with Bush White House adviser Karl Rove back in2002.
Although there is no evidence of this union, it would explain the link to the Whitehouse… very fishy.
Louis Tomlinson’s Baby Is Fake
One Direction theories never died along with the band, in fact, the craziest theory came a few years after they went their separate ways. Back in January 2016, Louis had a baby with a woman named Briana Jungwirth news which came as quite a shock to his fans.
Once again Larry Stinson comes into play with conspiracy theorists claiming both Jungwirth and the babies were fake and just a way to distract for Harry and Louis’s relationship…
Baby Freddie
The baby truthers insister the baby was either a very real looking doll or the baby of the 1D publicist…
...as you can imagine, Louis and Briana have no love for this ridiculous “investigation”.
Miley Cyrus Was An Instrument Of The Obama Administration
Another young pop star, another supposed instrument for the United States president. This time it revolves around Miley Cyrus and former president Obama.
It all started when Korn frontman Jonathan Davis released a video for "Spike My Veins," featuring clips from Miley Cyrus's infamous VMAs performance as well as scenes from her "Wrecking Ball" video.
Don't Give Up Your Liberties
He also gave an interview telling the racist, far-right radio host that Miley’s Bangerz-era was all part of Obama’s plot to distract Americans as their “liberties [were] being taken away one by one.”
Even if it were true, why would he use Miley when we have Kanye?
HiddleSwift Was Fake
Taylor is known for her bevy of boyfriends that sadly never seem to be quite right, but the rumor is that when she was caught kissing Tom Hiddleston it was all posed.
The photos, which made it to the front page of The Sun, were a plot to take attention off her recent split from Calvin Harris while also getting back at her ex.
Hiddleston As Bond?
Hiddleston also had what to gain from the supposed ‘fake’ relationship.
He was in the running for playing James Bond (which he didn’t get) and this was the perfect way to raise his profile.
Someone Else Is Singing On Britney Spears Songs
There have always been Britney haters who insist she lip-synchs, but they took it to a new level when after the song ‘Passenger’ came out in 2013, those haters insisted it wasn’t Britney signing at all!
A rumor spread like wildfire that in fact, was the voice of her backup singer Myah Marie- who denied the claims herself in an email to Radar Online.
Myah Marie Mix
“While I am so grateful for the opportunity to provide background vocals for Britney Spears on a small number of her most recent works,” she said, “I most certainly cannot take credit for her tremendous talent as a singer.”
This incident was not an isolated event, people have been questions Spears’s vocal abilities for years with Musician Henry Rollins claiming in an interview with Sun Media that Britney mixes her voice with engineers with other stronger vocalists.
Beyoncé Kidnapped Sia
Just when you thought it could get more farfetched - Brazilian fans began the hashtag #SaveSia in 2016 when they were convinced that Beyoncé was holding the music writer captive, so she would write songs for her…
...one such theorist interpreted her tweet “Hope Everyone Likes Pancakes” as a secret cry for H-E-L-P.
Writing Camp
While it seems this conspiracy was constructed out of thin air, many believers used Sia’s put that working for Beyoncé was like “Writing camp” as proof for the supposed kidnapping…
Looks like Sia was really M.I.A.
Gucci Mane Was Replaced by a Government Clone
Gucci Mane emerged from prison a new man….like actually a new man. The rapper emerged way skinnier with his ice cream tattoo barely visible on his face.
Fans became suspicion, and soon suspicion turned into the claim that this was not Gucci Mane but a clone.
Definitely A Clone :-)
While the CIA and law enforcement would “waste time” on related inquiries, Gucci Mane got us all curious when he made a rather interesting claim on his Snapchat.
He responded, "I wouldn't support nor deny those accusations." Yup. Definitely a clone.
Lady Gaga Murdered Another Pop Star And Stole Her Identity
Back in 2008 before Lady Gaga was Lady Gaga, a pop singer named Lina Morgana died by a sudden suicide at 19-years-old. Soon after Gaga began her swift rise to stardom with a look, and an attitude eerily similar to that of the late Morgana.
Did we mention the too has collaborated at Sony right before her death?
Complicated Story
Connecting all the dots, theorists think Gaga plotted to kill Morgana and steal her persona.
Some even claimed there were ties to Illuminati and ritual killing. Dark stuff.
Kim Kardashian Faked The Paris Robbery
When you are a reality star pretty much the authenticity of everything is questioned.
So, when Kim Kardashian went through the traumatic experience of being bound, gagged, and held at gunpoint at her hotel in Paris, Twitter users were quick to question whether this was staged.
Real Reality
The claims were dismissed by a tearful and traumatized Kim who addressed the accusations on KUWTK.
Releasing a sex-tape for attention is one thing, so is broadcasting a 72-day highly publicized marriage. But faking a robbery? We'll leave that to you.
David Bowie Predicted Kanye West
Now this one may be over-the-top, but the string of coincidence involved is pretty freaky. It all started with the cover of David Bowie’s 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars which you can see above.
That’s right, Bowie is standing under a sign that says K. West”.
Five Years After Ziggy
You may want to write all that off a happenstance, but wait, there’s more: consider that the album opens with a song called “Five Years,” in which Ziggy learns the world will end in that amount of time unless a “Starman” comes to the rescue.
Now Kanye West was born five years and two days after the album was released. Now call that a coincidence.
Kanye’s Car Accident Never Happened
Before Kanye was the outspoken rapper he is today, he was a behind-the-scenes guy helping stars like JAY Z produce beats. That all changed with the track Through the Wire” which was inspired by his near-fatal car accident that left his jaw wired up I 2002.
But years later this whole accident came into question when a Chicago -based user took to Twitter to write “And what’s crazy is Kanye still got the world thinking he was in a bad car accident October 2002. All Im’a say is come to Chicagoland and ask.”
"Through The Wire" Inspiration
People piled on to the conspiracy bandwagon claiming Kanye got wiped for stealing music or in a fight…
...but the rumors were quickly shit down when it came to light not only did the accident happen in Los Angeles, not Chicago, but the other person involved sued Kanye. Receipts don’t lie y’all.
Kanye West Is A Clone
Once again Kanye was the center of a ridiculous pop conspiracy when he ruffled many people’s feathers during a performance.
From lashing out at Jay Z and Beyoncé, to throwing his support behind Donald Trump and the cherry on the top - canceling his Pablo tour, fans were quick to conclude just what caused this erratic behavior.
Another Clone
Of course, some went for the simpler explanation of a mid-life crisis or mental break while others assume, he is a clone…
…because that makes the most sense obviously.
Kris Jenner Sold Kim’s Sex Tape
Before Kim Kardashian sex tape with Rat J came out to the public, the Kardashians were pretty much unknown... while it certainly caused Kim humiliation, it also thrust the family into the spotlight and set up the Kardashians to become the empire they are today.
The theory goes that momager Kris was, in fact, the one that orchestrated the selling of the tape!
"Nonsense"
The theory strengthened when in 2012, a source told Star magazine, "The video already existed, and Kris was there every step of the way as a middleman brought in to market it to an adult entertainment company."
Kris deemed the rumors total nonsense and stated to The Hollywood Reporter "You know, haters are gonna hate. People are gonna come up with the most ridiculous things."
Katy Perry’s Feud With Taylor Swift Is A Hoax
We all know the ongoing feud between to of the biggest stars today, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
The feud has made it on interviews, on music videos, and social media but there is a theory that the whole thing is just a hoax that they decided on to create publicity for both of them (which works).
Trying To Shif Focus
The possible hoax of bad blood is thought to be an agreement to cause the media to focus on their feud rather than Taylor’s love life.
It’s certainly not the wackiest theory on the list but if it is the case it backfired on Katy whose last album suffered thanks to the feud taking center stage rather than her music.
Keanu Reeves Is Immortal
Keanu Reeves may not be who you think he is. According to the website that is dedicated to this conspiracy, keanuisimmortal.com, Reeves is at least 150 years old.
The site claims that Keanu has gone from Charlemagne who ‘died’ in 1814, as well as Paul Mounet, a French actor who died in 1922.
A Non-Denial Denial
When Kimmy Fallon straight out asked Keanu if this theory has any substance in 2017, he did not deny it… think of that what you will.
We don't know about you, but we're all in for having Keanu always with us.
Stevie Wonder Isn’t Blind
Despite supposedly going blind at a young age, many think Stevie Wonder has pulled one of the biggest pranks in the business!
These proofs are as follows: He once caught a mic stand mid-fall; he likes to sit courtside at basketball games; he had a reputation for being a prankster as a kid.
He Can Hear Just Fine Though
While these proofs may raise brows, it seems the truthers completely disregards the fact that Stevie has other senses to make up for his lack of sight.
Sitting courtside for example also means you’re far away from the regular folk, and if you can afford it…why not?
Marisa Tomei’s Oscar Win Was A Mistake
Before the hilariousness of Warren Betty giving La La Land the Oscar instead of Moonlight by mistake, some speculate that Marisa’s 1993 Best Supporting Actress win for My Cousin Vinny was another accident.
This time caused by the absurdly drunk presenter Jack Palance who couldn’t even make out the names.
A Dark Horse
The speculators argue that her win made no sense in a category with veterans such as Vanessa Redgrave.
But a quick review of the night shows Palance has no trouble reading whatsoever Marisa has gone on to be nominated for two other Oscars so there’s that.
Taylor Swift Is A Clone of a Satanic Priestess
Another day, another Taylor controversy. In 2016 the internet made the stark connection between Swift and Zeena La Vet.
La Vet is the daughter of the Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey who herself served as a high priestess for the church in the late ’80s.
Zeena
Although the resemblance is uncanny, these theories still seem farfetched.
They go as follows, either Taylor is (1) a clone of Zeena, perhaps created by the Illuminati or (2) the reincarnation of Zeena, which doesn’t make a ton of sense Zeena is not dead.
Taylor Swift Doesn’t Have A Belly Button
The mystery of the hidden belly button came after years and years of Taylor wearing crop tops and sexy outfits while somehow NEVER showing off her belly button… could it be because she doesn’t have one?
Taylor herself addressed this in an interview with Lucky, where she said, "I don’t like showing my belly button. When you start showing your belly button then you’re committing to the midriff thing. I only partially commit to the midriff thing-you're only seeing lower rib cage."
Is it An Innie Or An Outie?
It got to a point where Taylor decided a belly button pic was worth it to shut up these theorists, first in a bikini pic with Haim and then with a fan backstage.
If indeed she doesn’t have a belly button, she is doing some wonders with makeup…
Demi Lovato Has A Twin Sister Named Poot
It started as a meme but gained too much talk chances are many still believe its true, it was in 2015 when a photo came up of someone who looked freakishly like Demi only balding…
...later it was proven that it was just a weirdly lit photo of Demi taken from a strange angle, but that didn’t stop the internet from running with it.
Poot
