Many celebrities advocate using cleanses to rid yourself of toxins and fats. Beyonce and Jay-Z, for example, went on a vegan cleanse and avoided all animal products for a month.

(#2) Tom Cruise Goes Anti-Psychiatry and Anti-Glibness
In 2005, Cruise took a lot of flak for the Today Show appearance in which he called Matt Lauer "glib" for questioning his anti-psychiatry convictions. As a Scientologist, Cruise does not believe in antidepressant drugs or the benefits of psychiatry. In dismissing the use of drugs to treat postpartum depression, Cruise claimed to know the history of psychiatry, but he is not, in fact, a medical professional, and the benefits of the psychiatry and psychiatric drugs in treating a wide spectrum of mental illnesses are well-documented.

(#14) Alicia Silverstone Thinks Tampons Make You Infertile
In her book The Kind Mama: A Simple Guide to Supercharged Fertility, a Radiant Pregnancy, a Sweeter Birth, and a Healthier, More Beautiful Beginning, actress Alicia Silverstone claimed that tampons have a detrimental effect, saying, "feminine-care manufacturers aren’t required to tell you what’s in their products, which means that no one’s talking about the potential pesticide residues from non-organic cotton and the ‘fragrances’ containing hormone-upsetting, fertility-knocking phthalates that are snuggling up to your hoo-ha.”

(#10) Katie Couric's HPV Vaccine Episode
A 2013 episode of Katie focused on the HPV vaccine proved controversial for its anti-vaccine, anti-science stance. Katie Couric, the show's host, backtracked afterwards, apologizing for the show's anti-vaccine leanings after seeing the facts that the vaccine has helped many people against battling the disease and cancer.

(#9) Snooki Rubs Kitty Litter On Her Face
Apparently Snooki from Jersey Shore uses kitty litter as an exfoliant. On her skin. Not only did she say so on Conan, she also advised other people to do so in her book Confessions of a Guidette. To be fair to Nicole Polizzi, she was talking about unused cat litter that she waters down, but it's still not the best idea. For one thing, inhaling dust from some clumping cat litters could pose health risks. And scrubbing your face with kitty litter is just undignified.
