(#26) Chipper Jones
- 46
The former Atlanta Braves third baseman/shoo-in Hall of Famer worked up quite a head of steam in November 2012, going on a Twitter spree about the JFK slaying while watching Oliver Stone's film JFK (Stone is a fellow Kennedy truther), arguing Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone.
In 2015, he apologized for tweeting that the FBI confirmed the Sandy Hook shooting "was a hoax."

(#2) B.o.B
- 30
The rapper spent the better part of a day in early 2016 tweeting about how Earth is actually flat. He pointed out his inability to see the curve of the planet, even when at the beach, and that objects that should be invisible behind the curvature of Earth are clearly visible. Therefore, Earth is flat and we're all being lied to.
From his tweets, B.o.B. also appeared to be a moon landing truther who believed it was faked in a studio, and that there's an elaborate conspiracy to conceal vast human cloning centers producing lookalikes of celebrities.
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

(#10) Jenny McCarthy
- 46
McCarthy has been the most prominent celebrity endorser of the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism, and that the pharmaceutical industry knows this, but pushes vaccines anyway to make money. She has pushed unscientific ideas that have garnered enormous publicity, telling Time in 2009, “I do believe sadly it’s going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe." She later wrote for Huffington Post in 2010, “Almost all kids get — injected toxins — very early in life, and our own government clearly acknowledges vaccines cause brain damage in certain vulnerable kids.”
For these quotes, and many more, she's been called scientifically illiterate.

(#4) Kanye West
- 41
West revealed himself to be an advocate of the "CIA invented AIDS" conspiracy over a decade ago, telling the audience at Live 8 in 2005 that the condition is a "man-made disease" that was "placed in Africa just like crack was placed in the Black community to break up the Black Panthers."

(#19) Rosie O'Donnell
- 56
Rosie O'Donnell used her show The View to chime in with her thoughts about 9/11, saying, “I do believe it is the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower Seven, building seven, which collapsed in on itself, it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved.”
According to Popular Mechanics, it's not at all impossible for a building to fall the way Building 7 did, as its structure had been severely weakened by crash damage and burning jet fuel.

(#5) Kylie Jenner
- 21
Jenner has said to have been concerned about chemtrails — the white lines of chemicals and toxins supposedly being sprayed on people by aircraft. In May 2015, she tweeted a meme full of misspellings and random accusations about "75 planes" that were "spraying something" and "exterminating" children and honey bees.
Since then, she's tweeted quite a bit about what she calls "ctrails." According to Scientific American, the white lines one sees behind aircraft are nothing more than clouds formed by hot exhaust hitting cold air.

About This Tool
In the past, due to the limited period of information dissemination, the spread of rumors was not so widespread. However, with the rise of the Internet, the spread of conspiracy theories is accelerating. Although people can easily deny the credibility of most conspiracy theories through Internet searches, many people are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories than to find ways to verify them, especially when they are recognized by some celebrities.
The power of the celebrity effect is greater than we thought. The random tool lists 27 celebrities who believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories, they even openly discuss and support these crazy views.
