This post is missing the most iconic celebrity urban legend of all time. Marilyn Manson getting rib removal surgery so he could blow himself 😂

[anterrabre]

Or that he was Kevin from the Wonder Years, lol.

[carminaburana]

Not Kevin - his friend, totally blanking on his name!

[private____ryan]

Paul!

Idk much about the mamas and the papas other than the child sexual abuse by the dad with Mckenzie.

Isn't Carly Wilson in that family?

Do the band's stans deny it happened?

[stepinsidelove]

Carnie Wilson is the daughter of Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. Carnie, her sister Wendy, and Chynna Phillips were all in the band Wilson Phillips. Chynna Phillips is the daughter of 2 Mamas and the Papas members, Michelle and John Phillips. Mackenzie was John's daughter from his first marriage so Michelle was the stepmom.

The accusations came out after John had died. Michelle Phillips denies it and so did another half-sister (from John's third wife) Bijou Phillips. Chynna said she believes Mackenzie.

And just remember, Bijou is married to serial rapist and scientologist Danny Masterson, so she's a professional rape denier at this point.

This is a really succinct explanation!

ngl I thought the Tommy Hilfiger thing was true to this day

oop @ me

I remember hearing Mariah Carey's legs were insured for an obscene amount too when I was young.

[blowkissnotcoke]

Tina Turner insured her legs for $3.2 million. Idk about now, but she had super nice legs way back when

[fromyourashes]

so did i
i still believe it idc

[vivalakeyana]

My neighborhood was SO appalled by that alleged comment (rightfully so), but...y'know. Lol

I still feel like he's said racist shit at some point, though. I'd love to be wrong, but I swear something was even posted here years ago.

That Tommy Hilfiger rumor pops up for any non-Black designer whose clothes happen to be popular among Black Americans. In the 80s it was Girbaud (A French brand extremely popular among House Heads), and in the 70s it was someone else. It just got a lot of traction in the 90s because the other designers who were more "niche market" Hilfiger was popular among everyone, plus the Oprah angle made it spread more widely.

[euraylie]

It just popped up this week during the Birkin debacle!

[kampfbaby]

Birkin debacle?

I remember hearing when I was kid that Shakira removed one of her ribs so she could move better.

Ciara is a hermaphrodite was a big rumor when she started out.

Beyonce is part of the illuminati and also recently exposed as an Italian woman.

[tanglespiders]

"Jamie Lee Curtis is a hermaphrodite" was a long running one, too.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I had forgotten about that one too.

[oblivious_frog]

My fucking science teacher in middle school told us that one 🤦🏻‍♀️
