(#5) Marisa Tomei's Oscar Was a Mistake
Tomei’s shocking victory in the 1993 Best Supporting Actress race gave birth to a conspiracy theory that presenter Jack Palance was so drunk (or stoned) when giving the award that he read the wrong name, and everyone in Hollywood just ran with it.
However, no such mistake can be made. A rep from official Oscar vote counters Price Waterhouse stands in the wings during the ceremony to correct any errors, and only the name of the winner, not the nominees, is shown on the card the presenter opens. The “mistake” never happened and would never just be something that everyone ran with. -
(#1) Beyonce Faked Her Pregnancy to Conceal Fertility Issues
Beyonce seems to attract rumors the way flames attract moths - fabulous, multi-talented moths who can sing, dance, and run the world. One of the most researched (or "researched," if you will) is that her 2011 pregnancy, the one that brought Blue Ivy into the world, was all an elaborate fake.
As the theory goes, Bey fooled us all using a combination of prosthetic baby bumps, flowing clothes, trick photography, a secretive delivery that nobody was allowed to discuss, and not releasing any photos of her while actually pregnant for over two years. The motive of the fakery is said to be fertility issues, and that a surrogate actually carried Blue. The Carter-Knowles family has never explicitly denied the rumors, probably thinking they're really stupid and not deserving of comment.

(#13) Stevie Wonder Isn't Blind
Has musical genius Stevie Wonder been faking his blindness for his entire career, to elicit sympathy? That's the theory behind a small but vocal group of truthers who believe the musician actually can see, and always has been able to.
Their proof is mostly cherry picked evidence, but does deserve a closer look, pardon the pun. Stevie Wonder has gone to basketball games. How does he know what basketball looks like? He's recorded a PSA against drunk driving. What would he know about driving?? He was caught on film catching a falling mic stand. How does a blind person do that? Boy George claimed Wonder came up to him at a party and knew who he was.

(#7) The Beatles Never Existed
Anyone can think Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1968. But a real conspiracy theorist takes it one step further - just like the creator of the website "The Beatles (as they were presented to us) Never Existed."
The theory's anonymous mastermind presents us with a wealth of "evidence" showing that the Beatles as we know them were a combination of lookalikes, robots, decoys, synthetic beings, and countless actors playing single members of a band. The supposed proof is in discrepancies in height, facial features, teeth, eyebrows, and demeanor.

(#4) Jennifer Aniston and Vin Diesel Stole A Bunch Of Movies
A truly insane conspiracy theory went around in 2010 - that movie stars Vin Diesel and Jennifer Aniston had conspired together to "steal" dozens of movies and erase them from existence. These titles include all of the Transformers movies, G.I. Joe, and Avatar - which were all made a decade earlier than we think they were and doled out by the movie stars as a response to Sienna Miller attempting to... do something bad.
The theory stems from a letter sent to the Hollywood Reporter, and has no supporting evidence.
