Being in the public eye means that people are always gonna make up shit about you.It all comes with the territory,I guess.Let's compile a list of the artists who have been dogged by crazy,vicious rumors for years.Such as...



***Rod Stewart---Y'all know the rumor that I'm referring to...lol...PLEASE don't make me repeat it here:)


***Donna Summer---The story goes that,in the early 80s,she made some anti-gay remarks.Supposedly,she said something like "God made Adam and Eve,not Adam and Steve" during one of her concerts.Because she has MANY gay fans,this nasty rumor created alot of controversy for her.


***Janet Jackson---Supposedly,she had a baby in the late 80s and,because she was more concerned with her career,she gave it away to sister Rebbie to raise.This story is absurd,but as Vibe magazine pointed out a few years ago,she wasn't forthcoming about being married,so can you really believe her when she denies THIS story too?





Any others?

I think Rod's urban myth is cited here:

http://www.eonline.com/Ce.../side.html

where Jacko also gets a mention (#13)

Prince - early nineties there was a rumour that he got some ribs removed so he could give himself bjs. I've never heard this mentioned on the Org b4, but tell any1 my age that ur a prince fan and they'll say, "didn't he get 1 of his ribs removed so he could give himself bjs"

Oh, I remember the Rod Stewart rumor!

When I saw this, the very first rumor that came to mind was the one about Donna Summer being a man! It had something to do with a photo she posed for; it was believed that her crotch looked liked that of a man's. At least this his how I remember this particular rumor.

I remember the Janet Jackson rumor also. Now, what stands out in my mind about this one is that WAY back in the day I used to read Right On! magazine (whatever happened to Flo Jenkins?) and they used to print these blind items. I distinctly recall one in which the celebrity in question was a young female singer rumored to have had a baby. Janet immediately came to mind, but I always suspected that the rumor could have been about Stacy Lattisaw, as well.

Actually, I've heard this rumor about Marilyn Manson. All of my friends always thought that he had gotten his ribs removed too...


Isn't it funny how the rumors re-surface with other artists? It's like people aren't creative enough to come up with new ones or something...


BTW, I heard the Rod Stewart one about Britney Spears shortlty after her first CD came out...

LOL! OOOH the good ol Rod Stewart rumor!!

I heard about the rib thing with Marilyn Manson, but not prince. And if it was true, hey more power to them. Sometimes I wish I was a cat...

I LOVE the one about Paul from The Wonder Years growing up to be Marilyn Manson Some guy at work was so convinced he went around telling everyone ecstatically.

What the hell is Rod's rumor?? Some1 please orgnote me if you don't wanna say it here.

Whitney-Saying that she's lesbian and she had an affair with her 4mer female manager "Robin". It was back in 1990.

BTW I agree with Donna Summer if she really said that comment.

"6. Rod in Name Only
The myth: Rod Stewart supposedly had his stomach pumped in this variant of the old "head cheerleader and the football team" story.
The reality: Maybe if it were Monica Lewinsky..."

So what's the Rod rumour? Don't understand this text.

A lot of stuff isn't rumour like Led Zepellin using living sharks on groupies etc.

What about the rumor that Michael Jackson and LaToya Jackson were the same person, they were never photographed at the same place at the same time... That one still makes me laugh.

Or the Richard Gere one, y'know... having 2 do with a

Yeah, I heard the Rod Stewart one during Jr. High, in '78-'79... right about when "Do Ya Think I'm Crazy" came out... it really bothered me... ???

Or, the Phil Collins one surrounding the "In The Air Tonight" song... about the story of him seeing this guy let someone drown and hunting him down, giving him free tickets 2 a concert he was doing, calling him out on his "secret" and the guy running out of the concert and committing suicide in his hotel room... hey, it could happen!!!

funny thread!

well Every Artist that makes it Big time is almost always Called Being Gay.Paul Mccartney on a Beatles Album right before the Beatles Broke up saying Paul is Dead&some folks actual believe that Paul isn't the real Paul now.2Pac&Jim Morrison staging there own Deaths&are still alive out there??I've heard the others.Rod Stewart cracked me up on behind the Music when asked about that story.His Facial Expression was Classic.

langebleu said:

Damn, you know your rockstar gossip.

The Rod rumour is that he had to have his stomach pumped because it was full of semen for those who want to know. Everyone seems scared to type the words.

Essence said:

it's too funny&too Bloated Man.HA!HA!

Did you hear the one about Michael Jackson touching kids?

Cloudbuster said:

As this "rumour" ended with a multi-million dollar pay off that's a touchy area to go into even if you have "The MJ Police" protecting you.

Essence said:

I am part of the MJ police. Hence the wink.
And if i had believed it i would've tossed his albums out years ago.

UptownDeb said:

Yes,there was once a rumor that Donna is a drag queen! It started with the 1977 release of her 'I Remember Yesterday' album.Some people felt that she looked too "masculine" on the album cover.

Donna is one of my favorite singers and I feel sorry for her.She's been dogged by many ugly rumors throughout her long career.

Ellie said:

Yeah,that's got to be the craziest rumor of all!

DavidEye said:

yes She has.

Regarding the Janet baby rumor...I remember seeing Rebbie on Video Soul talking about the rumor and she said that it was she that was pregnant. She said she would go out and about and people would point and say...wow, janet is pregnant.

I also heard that Janet and Tina Landon had an affair and this is why Rene left her.

But you never know with those damn Jacksons...although I would pay to see a reunion tour.


And hasn't every artist been "gay" at some point in their. careers.

I remember when what's his name that played on the Fresh Prince of bel air and was in the pepsi commericals with the jacksons was rumored to have died.


And finally...Tupac is still alive

What is the Rod Stewart rumor? I am new school here so I know nothing about the rumor. Ok, here are the rumors that I know:

P.Diddy had something to do with Biggie's murder. (so stupid)

Tupac is alive (my sister actually believes this)

J Lo Lipsynced in all of her cds (hey that can be true)

When Aaliyah was alive, people thought that the reason why she wore sunglasses is because she had a lazy eye. (what a dumb rumor)

Ginuwine had a romance of some sort with Aaliyah.

All the guys in Dru Hill were gay, (oh god, I had to laugh at that one)

The Janet and MJ rumors. (I kinda believe the gay/bi rumors about Janet, but the MJ rumors were too stupid to be believeable)
