7 Strangest Theories About Stars

You see theories about actors and singers daily. Some say they win a jackpot at the PlayAmo casino, others are about illegitimate children. But some theories are too strange, and here are 7 of them.

Avril Lavigne Died a Long Time Ago

The singer committed suicide in 2003 after her parents' divorce. Then she was replaced by actress Melissa Vandella. She sometimes tries to hint to everyone about the switch through the lyrics of new songs.

This theory first appeared in 2011 on a Brazilian fan page. The author analyzed everything with frightening meticulousness: old and new photos, songs from different years, even height, clothes, and shoes. The Internet did not leave the theory unnoticed and now is looking for traces of a mystical switch.

Stevie Wonder Isn't Blind

Blindness is part of Stevie Wonder's image. In fact, he sees everything. The first time this theory went viral was when Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney performed at the White House in 2014. McCartney inadvertently hit the rack, and Wonder caught it.

It came up again in 2016, when at the Grammy Awards, Stevie looked at the envelope and immediately opened it.

In 2019, famed basketball player Shaquille O'Neal revealed on the Inside The NBA podcast that he and Stevie lived in the same house. One day they met in an elevator, and Stevie suddenly greeted him.

Stanley Kubrick Filmed the Americans Landing on the Moon

At first, there was the theory that the Americans hadn't been to the moon but filmed the whole thing in a Hollywood pavilion. When they started speculating who could have done it, they immediately remembered Kubrick because he had made the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey a year before the landing. In that movie, the Americans just stroll around the Earth's satellite.

Stephen King Killed John Lennon

In 2009, Florida resident Stephen Lightfoot announced that John Lennon was not killed by Mark Chapman, but by famous writer Stephen King. Reagan and Nixon, who were fed up with Lennon's pacifism, ordered the murder.

Nicole Scherzinger Is the Only Lead Singer of the Pussycat Dolls

In the middle of 2000, the Pussycat Dolls were tearing up the charts with tracks Don't Cha, I Don't Need A Man, and others. The star of the band, Nicole Scherzinger, often listened to invectives from the fans, asking why she always came first in the music videos and at the performances. Then there was talk of only Nicole singing in the band at all.

In 2012, Scherzinger confirmed this theory. During an interview with VH1 Behind The Music, Nicole admitted to singing 95% of all material. The rest of the band members first heard their debut album already in the studio when Scherzinger called them in.

Beyonce Wasn't Pregnant

In 2012, Beyoncé and Jay Z's daughter Blue Ivy was born. And that would be OK, except Beyoncé will never again be able to convince fans that she was actually pregnant. In her seventh month of pregnancy, Beyoncé showed up to the Australian talk-show Sunday Night in huge heels, and when she sat down in a chair, something went wrong and her belly just deflated.

The singer denied everything and even told heartwarming stories about her miscarriage experience, but fans are no longer convinced.

Paul McCartney Is Long Dead

This is one of the longest-running conspiracy theories in music. It is said that Paul McCartney died in a car accident in 1966 and was then replaced by a Bill Shires look-alike. The only proof is the cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road album.

They say McCartney is shoeless like a dead man, Lennon is all in white like a spiritual director, Ringo Starr is a mourner in black, and George Harrison is a gravedigger. In fact, it looks a lot like a funeral procession. And even though Paul has denied these rumors more than once, the theory still lives on.
