Richard Simmons May or May Not Be Currently Held Hostage by His Maid

With his bouncing body, looming grin, and wild hair, Richard Simmons might have terrified me as a child, but it gives me no pleasure to report that the New York Daily News published a story on the fact that his friends are pretty convinced the exercise mogul and TV personality is being held hostage in his own home by…
The Origins of the Wack Conspiracy Theory That Katy Perry Is Actually JonBenet Ramsey
Before we begin, just know that I don’t want to take up too much of your time with this. It’s worth mentioning only because there’s a good chance you’ll hear rumblings about it at work or on Facebook or while posting on your favorite Katy Perry message board, and I don’t want you to be caught off guard.
Republican Detectives Aren't So Sure About Antonin Scalia's 'Heart Attack'
There are going to be kookoos any time a celebrity dies—we weren’t there when it happened, so, invariably, we don’t know the real truth. I am cool with this because I love to dream, since dreaming doesn’t hurt anyone. But we have just hit the conspiracy jackpot: the 79-year-young Antonin Scalia, a highly-controversial…
Loopy Conspiracist Alex Jones Thinks Justice Scalia Was Murdered (Because His 'Gut' Told Him So)
Noted conspiracy theorist, Illuminati-believer, racist and “lovable” anti-Semite Alex Jones has made yet another grab for the spotlight.

Why Can't The Bachelor Let a Redhead Live?
On Monday night’s premiere of The Bachelor Season 20, there were few surprises, except that Ben Higgins was sexually appealing. That was crazy. But otherwise, it was pretty standard: Chris Harrison was tan, a Fox News employee got the first impression rose, someone brought in a mini-horse, and the redhead got sent…
Rush Limbaugh Pretty Sure NASA Is Just 'Muslim Outreach' Now, Thanks Obama
Earlier this week, wheezing reddened pile of bagpipes Rush Limbaugh objected to the news that there’s liquid water on Mars—it’s more like a “sneaky leftist agenda” on Mars to get people to care about climate change, he argued, for some reason. On Tuesday, he went ahead and brought Muslims into it, too. Why not.
A Roundup of Conspiracy Theories About Ahmed Mohamed's Cool Clock
Irving, Texas Mayor Beth Van Duyne appeared in Glenn Beck’s bunker on Tuesday evening to defend her city’s response to Ahmed Mohamed, the ninth-grader arrested at school for making a clock. She also indicated that there’s something fishy about Mohamed and his family. I wonder where this is going.
Konspiracy Theory: Where Is Kourtney's Cat, Charli Kardashian?

Kourtney Kardashian’s Bengal cat, Charli, hasn’t appeared in her Instagram feed in 56 weeks and I’m starting to get worried. Not that there’s anything wrong with a celebrity cat keeping a low profile, it’s just that this particular family has a dubious track record as pet owners, so something must be afoot for Charli…
Shocking Evidence: Are Will & Kate Conspiring to Take the French Throne?
There are dark plots being hatched in the corridors of power—but it’s not who you think. Your suspicions about Jade Helm, the Illuminati and the Bilderberg Group are merely blinding you to the real threat. And that is this: Will and Kate will, at some point in the next few years, attempt to seize the unattended throne…
For Social Conservatives, Acceptance of Caitlyn Jenner Is the Apocalypse
The Washington Post has a pretty wonderful story today on how the right wing is reacting to Caitlyn Jenner: awkwardly, in the case of Republicans who’d like to be president someday, or, among pundits, with a full-on, “fling yourself on the floor, pee your pants, hurl your sippie cup and cry for mama”-style tantrum.
Did Vladimir Putin 'Go Missing' So He Could Have Plastic Surgery?
Russian President and hairless, scowling badger Vladimir Putin has reappeared in public, after a 10-day absence and a string of public appearance cancellations. During his mysterious unannounced sabbatical, rumors swirled that he was sick, or dead, or attending the birth of another secret baby with his very-not-secret…

Stephen Colbert Rant on Hillary's GrandmaGate is Very Cathartic
Now that the nation has had a serious(ly fucking stupid) conversation about whether a woman can be both president and a grandmother, America can move on to more pressing matters: Was this pregnancy planned especially to boost Hillary's chances?
The Craziest Theories About What Happened to Malaysia Flight 370
It's been nearly a week since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared somewhere between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, and we still have basically no idea where it went. Chatter about the missing plane (MISSING! AN ENTIRE GREAT BIG PLANE!!!) has grown more frantic and more bewildered by the day, and at this point a lot of…
