(#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.

(#3) Britney Spears Was a Deep Cover Bush Administration Agent
While she might be a full-time mom and part-time Vegas attraction now, Britney Spears was among the biggest celebrities of the Bush years. Hence the conspiracy theory that she was an "off the books" employee of Dubya, paid to engineer distractions and keep the American people's eye off the chicanery going on in Washington.
Surprisingly, the timing of this conspiracy kind of matches up. Spears's 55 hour marriage to a childhood friend coincided with the Valerie Plame scandal breaking. When Bush's approval rating hit its all time low, Spears made news again for having a Child Protective Services visit. Then, when the 2006 midterm rolled around, Britney announced she was splitting with her husband, celebrity doofus Kevin Federline. Finally, her 2007 meltdown diverted attention from Al-Qaeda reforming in Pakistan.
One thing that makes this conspiracy theory less plausible is that it hinges on a rumored romance between Spears and Bush administration mastermind Karl Rove.

(#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.

(#11) Dave Chappelle Offended the Dark Crusaders
Comedian Dave Chappelle is no stranger to conspiracy theories, going on long tangents about things like the Skull and Bones Society. He also goes on at length during an “Oprah” appearance about a conspiracy he claims he's experienced: that the entertainment industry forces African American actors to dress in drag at various points in their careers in order to humiliate and oppress them.
Taking things even further, another Chappelle conspiracy is that Oprah retaliated to him exposing the minstrel theory by working with "Dark Crusaders" like Bill Cosby and Jesse Jackson to get his TV show off the air, despite having signed a huge contract with Comedy Central.

(#10) John Travolta Was Replaced by a German Singer
Actor John Travolta and deceased German schlager singer Roy Black share more than a passing semblance. They had the same facial structure, hair, mouth, and nose. According to one conspiracy theory, it means that one replaced the other. While Black is said to have died in 1991 of a heart attack, some believe that the death was faked so he could undergo minor plastic surgery and English lessons, in order to take over the role of John Travolta for unknown but probably nefarious reasons. What happened to the original Travolta is currently unknown, but it's probably not good.

(#6) Avril Lavigne Was Replaced by a Double
Is the perky Canadian singer of "Sk8er Boi" and "Complicated" actually dead, and being played by a lookalike? That's the hypothesis behind the Brazilian fan site "Avril Is Dead." It claims that the real Avril was disappeared in 2004, and replaced by a body double named Melissa Vandella. Melissa had previously been Avril's body double, meant to throw off the paparazzi, and when Avril became morose after the death of her grandfather, a replacement was needed to keep the Avril Lavigne gravy train going.
The evidence for this is some blemishes on her skin that appear to be a bit darker depending on the lighting, and a video Avril (or "Avril") gave in Brazil where someone asks her about the theory that she's actually dead, and she has no idea what they're talking about.
