• 

  (#1) Paris Jackson

  • 20

  In January 2017, Paris Jackson — the daughter of late entertainer Michael Jackson — told Rolling Stone she believed her father was slain. While she didn't go as far to name who killed her father, she told the magazine "all arrows" point to her father's passing not being accidental.

  "It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bull[crap], but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a set up."

  (#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

  (#3) Marion Cotillard

  • 43

  Chalk up the French actress as another who doubts human beings walked on the moon. She rhetorically asked the Huffington Post in 2008, "Did a man really walk on the moon?" and added, "I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered. And in any case I don’t believe all they tell me, that’s for sure."

  She's also a 9/11 truther, claiming "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. Are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed.”

  (#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."

  (#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.

  (#6) Charlie Sheen

  • 53

  A vocal and prolific conspiracy theorist, Sheen has spent years questioning the circumstances of the September 11th attacks. While conducting an interview with President Barack Obama in 2009, he urged the president to launch an investigation: 

  Mr. President, I implore you based on the evidence you now possess, to use your Executive Power. Prove to us all Sir, that you do, in fact, care. Create a truly comprehensive and open Congressional investigation of 9/11 and its aftermath. The families deserve the truth, the American people and the rest of the free world deserve the truth.
• 

  (#7) Courtney Love

  • 54

  Love put her plane tracking skills to work in 2014, suggesting she may have found the disappeared Malasyia Air Flight MH370. She wasn't adamant that she'd found it, however, finishing a Facebook post with "But what do I know?"
• 

  (#8) Roseanne Barr

  • 66

  Barr has been a longtime subscriber to the chemtrails theory, claiming that the biotech giant Monsanto was spraying aluminum particles in the atmosphere to create a "mirror" to help them tarnish their crops with chemicals.
• 

  (#9) Mark Ruffalo

  • 51

  An outspoken liberal activist, Ruffalo is also a high-profile 9/11 truther, vocally criticizing the 9/11 Commission and the "official story" about what happened that day. "I'm baffled," Ruffalo said in a 2007 interview. "My first reaction was that buildings don't fall down like that. [...] The fact that the 9/11 investigation went from the moment the planes hit to the moment the buildings fell, and nothing before and nothing after, I think, makes that investigation completely illegitimate."
• 

  (#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.
• 

  (#11) Whoopi Goldberg

  • 63

  Goldberg celebrated the 40th anniversary of the moon landing by questioning it, wondering on The View, "Why is the flag rippling? There’s no air," and asking, "Who shot the footage?" The flag didn't ripple but apparently unfolded with wrinkles in it, and the footage was shot by the astronauts themselves.
• 

  (#12) Woody Harrelson

  • 57

  Woody Harrelson has been a vocal 9/11 truther, going so far as to become attached to a film that would "demand an independent investigation into the tragic events of 9/11."

  The film, which was to star fellow truthers Martin Sheen and Ed Asner, collapsed due to a lack of funding.
• 

  (#13) M.I.A.

  • 43

  The rapper has not been a fan of social media, not because it can isolate us and amplify our insecurities, but because Facebook and Twitter were supposedly invented by the government to track us. In a 2010 interview with Nylon magazine, she said, "And you know, all governments are connected to Google, and all governments can shift their search engines so only what they want you to see comes up. I want kids to be aware of this digital circumstance."

  She added:

  Everyone on the Internet is like, ‘Oh my God, come and join Facebook!’ They’re all so optimistic…and really, everyone is f*cking you up behind the screens. And I don’t like that. It makes it difficult for me to interact with my fans knowing that. Google and Facebook were developed by the CIA, and when you’re on there, you have to know that.
• 

  (#14) Prince

  • Dec. at 57 (1958-2016)

  The Purple One has given a number of interviews about the New World Order, Illuminati, and chemtrails. His most famous was during a 2009 interview with Tavis Smiley, during which Prince talked about civil rights activist Dick Gregory's theories about chemtrails.

  “You know, when I was a kid, I used to see these trails in the sky all the time,” he said. “A jet just went over. And then you started to see a whole bunch of them. And the next thing you know, everybody in your neighborhood was fighting and arguing and you didn’t know why.”
•

  She also wrote that it "breaks [her] heart" that Adolf Hitler "was painted out to be a monster after his [passing]."
• 

  (#16) Bruce Willis

  • 63

  Willis chimed in with his thoughts about who "really" killed John F. Kennedy, saying in 2007, "They still haven't caught the guy that killed Kennedy. I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted. One guy did it? I don't think so."

  Incidentally, Willis was not killed for saying what he said.
• 

  (#17) Dave Chappelle

  • 45

  Chappelle has been a vocal proponent of conspiracy theories and secret societies being in control of the entertainment industry. He discussed his most personal cause during an Oprah appearance, talking about a conspiracy he claims he's personally experienced: That the entertainment industry forces African American actors to dress as shrill, hectoring women to humiliate and oppress them.
• 

  (#18) Martin Sheen

  • 78

  Former The West Wing star Martin Sheen, father of fellow conspiracy theorist Charlie Sheen, has talked about his feelings on the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. "There are obviously a lot of unanswered questions, let me leave it that way, that are very, very disturbing," he said. "The key to that is Building 7 and how that came down under very, very suspicious circumstances.”

• 

  (#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.
• 

  (#20) Randy Quaid

  • 68

  Quaid is a high-profile conspiracy theorist, but the most famous conspiracy to which he's subscribed involves himself. In 2010, Quaid and his wife sought refugee asylum in Canada, claiming they were running for the lives from a shadowy group called the "Hollywood Star Whackers."

• 

  (#21) Spike Lee

  • 61

  Lee is among a number of African American celebrities who have publicly espoused the theory that the US government created AIDS to limit the Black population in inner city areas.

  “I don't find it too far-fetched that they try to displace all the Black people out of New Orleans,” he said.
•

  • 54

• 

  (#23) Thomas DeLonge

  • 43

  The Blink-182 frontman has been vocal about his belief in aliens and their spacecraft. He's also subscribed to a complicated conspiracy theory that American astronauts did land on the moon, but the government pushes theories that the US did not land on the moon to distract us from asking the real question we should be pondering: "What was there when we got there?"
• 

  (#24) Jonathan Davis

  Korn lead singer Jonathan Davis has been a devout conspiracy theorist, believing President Barack Obama is a puppet of shadowy world-controllers the Illuminati, and that Miley Cyrus is a tool of his administration.

  • 51
