From fake pregnancies to fake people...

More and more there appears to be a clear disconnect between the truth and the media. For every confidential leak or hacking scandal exposed to the masses, the public becomes more sceptical about what they're being fed, more inquisitive about finding out the truth.

When it comes to musicians, then, much of what we know about them comes straight from the media, so it's only natural for people to be suspicious. Not only that, but with so many innumerable channels of information, it's easier than ever to spot inconsistencies and discrepancies, adding fuel to the fire of many a discussion. Of course, just because the media is unreliable doesn't mean there's always truth to be exposed, especially when it comes to matters of entertainment. Sometimes the truth is simple, or boring, or just plain dull. But that doesn't stop people from speculating. There are a ton of famous conspiracy theories about musicians out there: Jay-Z is part of the Illuminati, Elvis isn't dead, Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain...but those are just the tip of the iceberg, and pale in bizarreness when compared to the rest of the entries on this list.
