The Craziest Celebrity Conspiracy Theories of All Time

Khloé Kardashian's real father is O.J. Simpson.

For years, fans have speculated about Khloé's "real dad" since the 32-year-old looks strikingly different from her sisters. The conspiracy theory didn't really start to take off until 2016 when Khloé's stepmom, Jan Ashley, who was formerly married to Khloe's father, Rob Kardashian, revealed that Rob had suspected that Khloé was not his child.

"Robert said, 'Oh my God, [O.J.'s] so black, he has curly hair, so does Khloé," Jan said in 2016. "Oh my God, you think it's him?'"

However, Khloé's mom, Kris Jenner, has denied this. "I have never heard such crap in my life," she told Good Morning America in 2012. "I was there, right. I gave birth, I know who the dad was. Everything’s good. We’re all good. It’s the family joke because Khloé was blonde and not dark-haired."

Justin Bieber is actually a shapeshifting reptile/lizard.

In March 2017, an article allegedly published on Perth Now claimed the 23-year-old started transforming into a reptile in front of a crowd of screaming, terrified fans. As screenshots from the article started circulating the Internet, editors at Perth Now said they never published the story, but that didn't stop fans from running with the theory anyway.

And that wasn't even the first time Justin was part of a weird lizard rumor. In 2014, a video of Justin in court showed him blinking really rapidly in, what fans thought, a "reptilian fashion." 'Nuff said.

Beyoncé faked her first pregnancy.

Many fans believe that, while pregnant with Blue Ivy, Beyoncé used a surrogate and then wore a fake bump while in public. But unlike other conspiracy theories, this one was backed with video evidence! In 2012, a video surfaced of Beyoncé sitting down for an interview as her belly mysteriously collapses. Beyoncé's publicist Yvette Noel-Schure called the rumors “stupid, ridiculous, and false.”

Britney Spears' meltdown was orchestrated by the White House to distract people from George Bush's failures.

Back in 2007, right around Britney's head-shaving incident, a writer at Idolator published a theory that alleged that Britney was an "employee of the Bush administration" whose job was to "steal [George's] thunder by flailing and sputtering around in public" to distract people from politics. The writer even published a timeline of what they thought was suspicious behavior from Britney that matched up with events that happened within the Bush administration. Coincidence? Most likely.

Beyoncé, Jay Z, and all other celebrities are members of the Illuminati.

This theory is so overblown we could write an essay about it, but basically the gist is that dozens of celebrities are members of a powerful satanic club that basically controls the world. Other celebrities in this supposed club are Bono, Barack Obama, Justin Bieber, and more. Beyoncé even addressed the rumors in "Formation" with the line, “Y’all haters corny with that Illuminati mess." However, theorists are so convinced of the rumor that it shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

Prince Harry's real dad is a guy named James Hewitt.

Since the '80s, a rumor has been spreading that Charles is not Harry's real dad. After all, since Harry is the only redhead in his family, fans have started speculating that his real dad is actually James, Princess Diana's former lover that she had an affair with in the '80s. However, James has denied it. "When I first met Diana, Harry was already a toddler," he said in 2002.

Lorde is actually 45 years old.

It's hard to believe the wise-beyond-her-years singer is only 20 years old, which might be why fans thought she was actually a 45-year-old masquerading as a teenager. Case in point, a 2014 interview where Lorde introduces herself as "Ella" who's "actually 45.” However, later that year, The Hairpin dug up her birth certificate, which confirmed she was born in 1996.

That famous "Imma let you finish" moment was a publicity stunt.

When Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs, which ignited a long feud between the two stars that still continues today, many fans speculated that perhaps the whole thing was staged for publicity. After all, it created a win/win for everyone. People couldn't stop talking about both celebrities, and it made the VMAs more relevant than ever. However, none of the stars involved have confirmed or denied this — nor would they ever.

Megan Fox is actually a clone of several Megan Foxes.

During the height of Megan's fame, theorists started speculating that Megan was being "replaced" by several clones that the studios would swap around. Their proof was Megan's evolving looks through the years. Although the more likely scenario is that Megan has possibly got plastic surgery.

Michael Jackson is still alive and hiding out in Canada.

Since his death in 2009, there have been many fans claiming to see sightings of him, including this creepy video of him supposedly leaving the coroner's van and this photo of him possibly sitting in a crowd. There's even an entire website devoted to alleged "sightings."

Marilyn Manson is Paul from The Wonder Years.

For years, fans have spread the rumor that the nerdy character from the '90s sitcom grew up to become the shock rocker. The truth is that Paul was actually played by Josh Saviano, but that still didn't stop the theorists. Josh, who's now 40 years old, revealed in 2014 that fans still come up to him and ask if he's Marilyn.
