Through The Years: The Best Celebrity Rumors


There’ve been a ton of great rumors out there over the years: from Madonna peeing on her athlete’s foot to Suri Cruise being a hoax, the rumor mill never stops churning them out.  Here’s ten of my favorite ones: (and remember, “rumor” doesn’t necessarily mean “false!”)

None of the Beautiful People

The Rumor:  The actor that played little Paul Pfeiffer (and later, extremely gangly and awkward Paul Pfeiffer) on The Wonder Years became Marilyn Manson.
The Truth:  Unknown.
Earl the Butcher Says:  Probably true. I would imagine spending that much time with Fred Savage on set would make you do crazy things. And we know Marilyn Manson is crazy; after all, he did remove one of his ribs so he could hook up his own iPud. That's also a true story.

About Earl The Butcher

Earl the Butcher would step in front of a bus for Nancy Grace, believes Rocky IV single-handedly ended the Cold War, and will not sleep until Eddie Money is inducted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When he’s not writing about late 80’s pop culture, he’s at home with two crazy little daughters and his rock star wife, Ms. Butcher.

    Dude, I totally went to high school with the cousin of the doctor’s roommate’s brother who was there when Richard Gere came into the hospital, so I know that’s true. ;)

    (Also, the Internet told me that it was the oldest son on Mr. Belvedere who went on to become Marilyn Manson. The kid from the Wonder Years is now a high-powered lawyer.)

    Yes. I also heard that it was the older brother on Mr. Belvedere that became MM. And that he had his perfectly good eye surgically removed on purpose.

    Oh. And I remember hearing that Richard Gere had a mole removed from his butt cheek. And that it evolved from there. Moles? They’re not just potentially cancerous growths….they’re also rodents! Know what else is a rodent? GERBILS! THERE WAS A GERBIL IN HIS BUTTHOLE!!!!…not a freckle on his buttcheeks!
