Everyone lies – even celebrities. Unfortunately, when a celebrity gets caught in a lie, it can be pretty damning. We put a lot of faith in famous people, which isn’t necessarily fair. They are only human and entitled to their privacy. Unfortunately, we just won’t give it to them. It sometimes seems like some celebrities are constantly being caught in lies, like Lindsay Lohan. She just can’t seem to tell the truth, which is why we’ve lost interest in her. We have tracked down 7 celebrities who have been caught in some major lies. Some of them will definitely be caught in more – just wait!
7. Victoria Beckham
For years, Victoria Beckham claimed to be completely natural. In an interview with Piers Morgan back in 2003, she denied getting a boob job. “I’m completely natural except for my fingernails and I have a bit of help with my hair and a bit of a St. Tropez (fake tan) going on,” she said. She must not have given us much credit because the evidence has always been there. She was flat chested when she belonged to the Spice Girls and after marrying David Beckham she suddenly had a remarkably full chest.
In an interview with Allure magazine in 2014, she finally came clean. She was shown some pictures from when she was younger and bustier when she made the confession. “I think I may have purchased them,” she said. “Or they got removed, one or the other.” When she was asked point blank whether or not she had breast implants. She replied, “Yeah.”

6. Britney Spears
Early in her career, Britney Spears famously announced that she planned to wait until she was married to have sex. Unfortunately for her, when she and Justin Timberlake broke up, he started telling various media outlets that she wasn’t a virgin cause she gave it up to him. The pop princess confirmed that she lost her virginity to Timberlake in an interview with W magazine. “I’ve only slept with one person my whole life,” she said. “It was two years into my relationship with Justin, and I thought he was the one…But I was wrong! I didn’t think he was gonna go on Barbara Walters and sell me out.”
While Timberlake might believe that he was Spears’ first, he reportedly wasn’t. Rumor has it that she lost her virginity to her high school boyfriend Reg Jones at the age of 15. Also, she reportedly didn’t wait two years to sleep with her pop star boyfriend. They allegedly got hot and heavy as soon as they started dating.

5. Courtney Love
Courtney Love came under fire back in 1992 when she reportedly told Vanity Fair that she used heroin during her pregnancy. After the article was published, she and her husband Kurt Cobain were quick to deny the claims. “The Vanity Fair article…contains many inaccuracies and distortions, and generally gives a false picture of both of us, including our attitude about…drugs,” the statement read. “We unequivocally deny this…As soon as Courtney found out she was pregnant, she immediately contacted an obstetrician and a doctor specializing in chemical dependency and has been under their care since then and has been assured that she can expect to have a healthy baby.”
This past January, Love admitted in an HBO documentary, “Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck,” that what she had told Vanity Fair 23 years ago was in fact true – she had used heroin. “I used it once then stopped,” she said. “I knew she would be fine.”

4. Brandy Norwood
Back in 2002, Brandy Norwood announced that she had secretly married producer Robert “Big Bert” Smith and that she was six months pregnant. A year after their daughter Sy’rai was born, they announced that they had separated. In 2004, Smith told WBLS-FM and WQHT-FM that the two had never legally wed and that they just pretended that they were married to preserve Brandy’s good girl image. She later apologized for lying on an episode of Oprah’s “Where Are They Now?”
“I said that I was married. Because at that time being pregnant out of wedlock was not a trend. It was not something that people praised. It was a sin. And I felt like I could not be honest about that. I felt the pressure of, again, having to be perfect. And I was scared. I thought that everything that I had worked hard for and everything that I worked to build, the image that I worked so hard to build was threatened. And I felt like having a child out of wedlock would ruin my career, everything that I had built,” Brandy said.

3. Tyga
For months now, rumors have been circulating about Tyga, 25, and Kylie Jenner, 17. Tyga has flat out denied that they are dating and so has Kris Jenner. Things came to a head a couple of weeks ago when Amber Rose called Tyga out for dating the teenaged Jenner girl and since then Kanye West has confirmed that the two are in fact dating. “I think he got in early. I think he was smart. They closer in age than a lot of relationships I know,” he told Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club.
Tyga has still continued to be really vague about his relationship with Kylie. During an interview with 92.3, he was asked whether his relationship with her was romantic and, while he doesn’t confirm anything, he doesn’t deny anything either. “I don’t think it really matters. If you love being around somebody that’s all that really matters. [The fans] always want to know what’s going on. And I think it’s good for them to stay interested and want to be involved in my life, which I appreciate, but sometimes you’ve got to let the artist live their own personal life,” he said.

2. Bobbi Kristina Brown
In January of 2014, Bobbi Kristina Brown announced on Twitter and Instagram that she and Nick Gordon had tied the knot. She posted a picture of their wedding rings with the caption, “@nickdgordon #HappilyMarried SO#Inlove if you didn’t get it the first time that is.”
Many people believed that they were married; however, after Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized this past January, her father Bobby Brown had his lawyer announce that they two young lovebirds were never legally wed. Gordon hasn’t commented on this and we’re not sure that Bobbi Kristina will ever know that the lie has been exposed. There were some people who were pretty creeped out about her relationship with Gordon. Whitney Houston raised him as though he were her son, but she never formally adopted him, so the young couple seemed more like brother and sister. Bobbi Kristina always insisted that her mother would have approved of her union, but she can’t exactly prove that.

1. Eva Mendes
In February of 2014, Eva Mendes reportedly told airport screeners that she’s pregnant; however, she denied this on “The Ellen Degeneres Show.” That summer, news surfaced that she was seven months pregnant, but there were no actual sightings of her, so it was difficult to believe that the rumors were actually true. Sure enough, that September, someone tipped Us Weekly off. Mendes had given birth to a girl a week earlier, which means that she knew that she was pregnant back in February, but decided to lie.
According to Mendes, she disappeared to give her daughter some privacy. “Whether we like it or not, privacy is going to be very difficult for Esmeralda. I think it’s unfair but that’s our reality. So Ryan and I decided early on to give her as much privacy as we could. And my pregnancy was the first opportunity to give her that. It’s such an intimate time for the mother, too. I know that it seems all very innocuous when you’re flipping through a tabloid at the doctor’s office or see a photo of a pregnant lady online, but I find the media’s “bump watch” obsession to be both intrusive and stressful. So I made a decision to eject myself from it completely,” she told Violet Grey.
