Demi Lovato believes in mermaids, rapper BoB claims the earth is flat and five other weird celebrity conspiracy theories
POP singer Olly Murs recently surprised the world when he hinted at some kind of conspiracy during the Black Friday terror false alarm.
He insisted that he had heard guns being fired – and hinted there was a cover-up going on, but Olly’s claims aren’t the most unusual celeb theories we’ve ever heard.
From being convinced the earth is flat, to thinking all maths is wrong – here’s some of the crazier things and conspiracy theories are favourite famous faces believe in.
Demi Lovato believes in mermaids
She thinks humans would be “selfish” if they didn’t think there wasn’t life on other planets – but more interestingly Demi believes in mermaids.
Specifically she thinks mermaids are an alien species that live in the India Ocean. To prove her point, she uses Christopher Columbus’ diary entries as evidence.
And in true conspiracy theorist style – she thinks there has been some kind of cover-up after a documentary aired on it, saying: “It was on, like, National Geographic—no, the Discovery Channel. And then the next day they had to say it was fake.” Smells a bit fishy to us.
B.o.B claims the earth is flat
Rapper B.o.B is a believer in the age old theory that the earth is in fact flat – despite the fact everyone knows it is round.
He raised eyebrows when he first asked his followers where the “curve” was in a post on Twitter.
Not satisfied with the response he was given, he set about trying to crowd-fund the launch of satellites to prove otherwise. He was last seen still looking for the curve.
Kylie Jenner really wonders about chem trails
When she’s not worrying about lip liner colours or feeding baby Stormi – Kylie Jenner has bigger concerns, namely chem trails.
A few years ago, Kylie shared a picture of jet trails in the sky, which we all see every day, and questioned what they really are.
Chem trail conspiracy theories have been around for years – with some people thinking the lines left behind from planes are in fact trails of toxic chemicals being sprayed by the government. Right.
Charlie Sheen says the moon is hollow
He is known for his wacky ways, so it’s perhaps not surprising he’s got an interesting take on the world.
His pal Rob Lowe let slip that Charlie thinks the moon is hollow during an interview a few years ago.
There is of course no evidence to suggest this is true, the theory does however feature in the 1901 H.G Wells novel The First Men On The Moon. We think Charlie’s read that one too many times.
Rob Lowe believes in an alien underwater base
Rob Lowe has a few of his own theories, most notably that there is an alien underwater base.
The actor, who loves a bit of the supernatural and extra-terrestrial, said: “When I was a kid, growing up in Malibu with Charlie Sheen ‘Moon is Hollow Guy,’ there was talk about alligators in the sewer and that there was a way for nuclear subs to go under Los Angeles. These were the things everybody talked about.”
He says that Google found the three tunnels years later, but what about the aliens, Rob?
Kesha once saw space ships turn into aliens
Pop singer Kesha’s album Rainbow was influenced by a UFO sighting, but it wasn’t just any UFO sighting.
The star actually saw some space ships that then turned into aliens – while she was sober.
She said: "I swear to God, there were like five to seven, and I don't know why I didn't like try to take a picture of it -- I just looked at it.”
Describing them coming back in a different formation, she continued: "I was like, 'Those are f---ing aliens.' They were spaceships!"
Terence Howard doesn’t believe 1 x 1 equals 1
Most Read In TV & Showbiz
And just when you thought the conspiracy theories couldn’t get any weirder - Empire star Terence Howard doesn’t believe in the rules of basic maths.
He has actually invented his own version of maths, called Terrology, because he refuses to believe one times one is one.
He ranted: "How can it equal one? If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect.
“One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told its two, and that cannot be."
