Little anecdote. After so many infidelities, the only thing Victoria Beckham wanted was a discreet divorce and to wake up single and free; however, both David Beckham’s and Victoria’s managers advised them, almost forced them, to stay married because together they were more profitable than each one on their own…
The lengths the entertainment industry will go to maintain profits reach unbelievable levels. But nothing is more extreme than hiding the death of a famous person to avoid financial losses and solve it with a double. Or, at least, so say the urban legends of show business. Obviously, these theories are quite unlikely to be true, and all these celebrities are still alive, but that hasn’t stopped some “theorists” from claiming they’ve disappeared and been replaced.
Beyoncé
Date of death: Around the year 2000.
Cause of death: Unknown circumstances.
Urban myth: “Theorists” say that the Beyonce we see now is a reptilian and Illuminati clone. Sure, it sounds logical.
Angelina Jolie
Date of death: early 1990s or early 2000s.
Cause of death: Suicide.
Urban myth: According to experts, the change in Jolie‘s personality is absurd, since the actress was always reserved and angry with life, but she was not a soul of God sent to Earth to rescue orphans from the most remote places in the world. It seems she even left a suicide note saying goodbye to Brad Pitt. The most “reliable” proof is her lips, once natural and now full of collagen.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Date of death: November 23, 2001.
Cause of death: Suicide.
Urban myth: Actor Devon Sawa was trained to be DiCaprio’s double because, at the time of his suicide, he had many projects pending. However, Devon Sawa’s gap had to be filled with another double, and so forth. In short, DiCaprio effectively died without winning an Oscar…
Avril Lavigne
Date of death: 2003.
Cause of death: Suicide.
Urban myth: As her fame was so great, the singer could not cope with it, not to mention that she also had to face the death of her grandfather, therefore, she chose suicide. Actress Melissa Vandella was hired by Avril’s record label to replace her. According to the urban myth, in the song “Happy Ending” all is revealed in the form of hidden messages.
Britney Spears
Date of death: Around 2000.
Cause of death: Car ride with Justin Timberlake.
Urban myth: The death of the Princess of Pop meant a great loss for many powerful people, so they turned to the Illuminati to clone her… Yes, because cloning human beings was a thing in the early 2000s. They’re trying to pull that story once again at the moment.
John Travolta
Date of death: 1991.
Cause of death: Suspicious circumstances, possibly a heart attack.
Urban myth: He was replaced by a German singer named Roy Black, although later they had to fake the singer’s death to explain his disappearance, and no one suspected anything about the Travolta case. Could Scientology have something to do with it?
Katy Perry
Date of death: Unknown
Cause of death: Never existed…
Urban myth: Internet investigators state that Katy Perry is JonBenét Patricia Ramsey, the child model and beauty queen who was found dead in the basement of her parent’s home. The murder could never be solved as there were many loopholes in the case. The parents, according to investigations, reported her disappearance eight hours later (although they had found a ransom note, they were never asked nor did they offer anything); it is also not known what happened to the little girl’s body. Experts have made comparisons and Katy Perry is identical to JonBenét.
Paul McCartney
Date of death: Autumn 1966.
Cause of death: Car accident.
Urban myth: The Beatles‘ fame was tremendous at the time of Paul’s death, which meant the end for everyone if one of its members was missing. Legend has it that after Paul’s death, a stuntman contest was held, which was won by a boy named William Campbell. Fans and experts have been analyzing all the clues and traces of the hoax, the best known being the supposed message on the cover of the Abbey Road album.
Eminem
Date of death: Between 2004 and 2006.
Cause of death: Car accident.
Urban myth: Theorists claim that they tried to cover up his death with a supposed withdrawal from rehab for his drug addiction, when he came out he was a new man. They also agree that the Eminem who sang with Rihanna is a robot or a clone.
I don’t know about you, but although quite entertaining, these theories are really stupid.
