Fans' fascination with celebrities makes it difficult for many to distinguish fact from fiction. Some versions always circulated and others were promoted with social networks.
 |
| When fiction steals space from the truth and is combined with the popularity of the stars, the result is wild theories. |
In 2020 journalist Dylan Howard published his book "Bad: An Unprecedented Investigation Into The Michael Jackson Cover-Up." There, he described chilling scenes that supposedly happened in "Neverland", the well-known residence of the King of Pop.
According to Howard, there are recordings in which Jackson is observed interacting in a bizarre way with minors. “In a video, you can see Jackson entertaining two children at home. One of them is standing on his bed with his arms wrapped around a beam as if he were Jesus on the cross, ”he told Mirror.
The said scene, similar to a horror staging, ends with the interpreter grabbing the minor hanging from the beam by the shirt and shouting rude words at him, while he pretends to spit in his face.
The strangest versions that surround the behavior of Jackson, who died on June 25, 2009, have been mixed with the testimonies verified before the Justice, the police, and in documentaries of real victims of the abuse and excesses of the pop star.
Perhaps the craziest story relates him to a contemporary star of Puerto Rican origin: Burno Mars.

| Michael Jackson was born in 1958 and Bruno Mars in 1985. For some, they could be father and son |
If your imagination runs wild, Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars are very similar. From some physical characteristics, a huge charisma, an easy dance, and an undeniable vocal talent; the least demanding would say that it is two drops of water.
However, this theory, spread with unexpected success by a Twitter user named José Hernández in 2020, ensures that the resemblance between the two is not incidental, since the famous American singer is, in reality, the unrecognized son of Michael Jackson.
According to this hypothesis, during an interview granted by the "King of Pop" to the media in 1986, Michael revealed that he had a son from whom he would not give more details to protect him and his mother, who called herself " Billie Jean ”and served as inspiration for the singer.
Remember that in the 1982 single "Billie Jean", Jackson talks about a woman who seeks to hold him responsible for being the father of her child. However, he refuses.
The user of the social network offered more details to support his theory, such as that Mars' real name is Peter, as is the singer's favorite character, Peter Pan. And he even assured that at Michael Jackson's funeral it was said that The singer's eldest son was among the attendees and Bruno attended the funeral.
However, some users of the social network pointed out some inconsistencies in the theory. For example, that Bruno Mars was born in 1985, three years after Michael released the single "Billie Jean"; and that there is no evidence of that interview in which he allegedly spoke of his unrecognized son.
In times of post-truth and social media, fabulous theories and versions are not exclusive to Michael Jackson. Beyoncé, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga are some of the stars' captives of the fascination of the fans.
A surrogate belly for Beyoncé
 |
| Beyoncé appeared on Sunday Night and talked about "Bumpgate." |
After announcing to the world that she was expecting her firstborn on the VMA's stage in 2011, Beyoncé had to face a wave of rumors that she was faking her pregnancy.
It all started when the singer gave an interview to an Australian television station in which she aroused suspicions about a false pregnancy because during a few seconds of the video recording it can be observed that her belly bends as if it were a pillow. That theory was baptized in the United States as the "Bumpgate".
This clip sparked all kinds of theories about Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and a supposed surrogate that the couple decided to use to bring Blue Ivy into the world.
These speculations were added to the statements by the artist's cousin, who assured that the singer and her partner wanted to have a child, but preferred "to hire a surrogate mother" so that the singer could preserve her silhouette.
“She wanted to keep her figure. They hired a surrogate mother because Bey wanted to continue working immediately after giving birth. What pregnant woman wears six-centimeter high shoes? That's not good for the baby ... No pregnant mother would do that, ”Angela Knowles told Hip Hop Weekly magazine.

 |
| Stephen King was singled out on deep internet blogs as the real murderer of John Lennon |
Although for decades Mark David Chapman has been identified as the perpetrator of the murder of John Lennon on December 8, 1980, on the dark side of the Internet a conspiracy theory emerged that points out that the real person responsible for the death of the singer is the novelist Stephen King.
According to Steve Lightfoot's The truth about John Lennon murder site, Chapman's story is an alibi to cover up the identity of the real killer. Well, they both shared some physical characteristics at that time.
According to this theory, the headlines of a series of American newspapers published days before John's assassination indicated, with a series of secret codes, that the masterminds of the assault on Lennon were the then president-elect, Ronald Reagan, and the ex-president Richard Nixon.
However, the one who shot Lennon was Stephen King, who allegedly confessed to the fact throughout his literary novel, especially in titles such as The Mystery of Salem's Lot and The Dead Zone.

| One theory linked Katy Perry to JonBenét Ramsey, a child beauty queen from the '90s |
The case of JonBenét Ramsey is one of the most shocking and chilling in the history of the United States. It is about a six-year-old beauty queen whose body was found dead in the house of her parents, who had reported her missing a few hours before.
To date, the circumstances in which the murder occurred have not been clarified and, although the authorities determined that the minor's brother and parents had nothing to do with the crime, no one has been tried for the murder.
Due to the irregularities in the case, in 2016 a video began to circulate on social networks that ensure that JoeBenét is not actually dead but lived to become the pop icon, Katy Perry.
“JonBenét Ramsey did not die. The sacrifice was only in name, and it was done to achieve one thing: make Katy Perry a star, " says a video shared on the channel of a YouTube user named Dave Johnson.
This theory points out some physical similarities between the minor and Katy Perry; The bone structure of their faces and the color of their eyes are some of the distinguishing features. Also, the parents of both share some characteristics that could reveal that they are the same people.
Yummy, Justin Bieber and PizzaGate
 |
| The popularity of Justin Bieber has not only brought consequences on his private life and havoc with the authorities. False versions have also emerged linking him to ugly crimes |
In 2020, a Twitter thread brought PizzaGate back to the conversation, a conspiracy theory that allegedly evidenced a pedophile network led by the political class and that went viral in the 2016 US presidential elections.
According to what was published on the social network, Justin Bieber hinted that he was a victim of this pedophile network operated in a pizzeria in Washington, through the video clip of his single "Yummy."
Although this conspiracy theory has been debunked on multiple occasions, Bieber's video clip sparked a wave of outrage among netizens, who analyzed the details of the musical short and found some shocking references.
In the video, a group of minors appears playing musical instruments, while some adult characters enjoy a feast of all kinds of desserts and sugary foods - a staging that some Internet users point to as an allegory of sexual abuse committed against minors.
There are even those who point out that during the clip there are two characters very similar to John Podesta and Hilary Clinton, whose leaked emails were the basis of the conspiracy theory. However, the key to everything, according to the conspirators, is in the last seconds of the video.
Before ending, the music video shows a photograph of Justin as a child. The portrait is printed on a plate under the legend "Yummy", seconds after a cake appeared on the tray. According to the analysis made by Twitter users, this could indicate that Justin was a victim of child sexual abuse.
Lindsay Lohan's twin died in a fatal accident
 |
| Lindsay Lohan starred in "Game of Twins" as a child actress |
According to this theory, child star Lindsay Lohan would not have been able to play the roles of Annie and Hallie in the 1998 film, A Game of Twins; Instead, she shared credit with her twin sister, Kelsey Lohan.
Those who support this theory argue that in Hollywood in the late 1990s there was no technology to clone Lindsay on screen; both characters appear in the frame on multiple occasions and the interaction between the two is very close.
According to this hypothesis, after having finished the film's recordings, Kelsey suffered a spectacular car accident in which he died. This caused a great conscience in the young Lindsay, who was apathetic in some interviews given at the time.
Although it is not clear where this theory comes from, it is believed that Lohan's supposed twin was murdered on Disney's orders because they wanted to get rid of her so that Lindsay would be the only star of the moment.
If true, this theory would explain why Lohan's character changed so much in the years after the hit movie was released, especially when she struggled with substance abuse.
Lady Gaga's sacrifice for fame
 |
| Lady Ganga began her career in small New York bars, but one theory claims that she achieved stardom thanks to a crime |
In 2008 the whole world learned about the artistic work of Lady Gaga, a young woman with a unique style and highly controversial songs who years later would become a pop superstar with one of the strongest careers in the entertainment industry.
However, there is a conspiracy theory that indicates that Lady Gaga owes everything to a young singer named Lina Morgana; a 19-year-old artist with a very promising future, but who took her own life when the Poker Face singer rose to fame.
Lina Morgana and Lady Gaga, then just Stefani Germanotta, met in New Jersey in 2007. At the time, according to New York news site Silvie, the plan was for Stefani to collaborate as a songwriter on Lina's first album.
But this album never came out. Authorities reported that Lina committed suicide in October 2008, when she jumped from the Staten Island Hotel in New York.
Given this fact, the mother of the young woman, Yana Morgana, assured different media that after Lina's death, Stefani Germanotta appropriated the avant-garde style and the life story of her daughter.
“Every word she says is from Lina. He talks about having had a dark and tragic life, but he had everything he ever wanted in the world. He went to the same high school as Nicky Hilton, his parents were wealthy. But Lina had a difficult life and constantly spoke of the tragedies in her life, "Yana told the news portal in 2010.
According to the conspiracy theory, Gaga not only appropriated the style and life story of the deceased singer, but she pushed Lina out of that building. However, this part of the story has been denied by fans of the vocalist, who verified that Gaga was in Los Angeles when Morgana passed away.
