Celebrity trends and wellness fads have existed in pop culture for as long as I can remember. But when the two come together, it can create some serious complications. So, whether it's dieting or skincare, it's always best to follow the advice of actual medical professionals, and not, say...actors who haven't taken a science class since high school. With that in mind, here's some wild stuff that famous folks have said and tried when it comes to their health. And, boy, it's a lot. 1. Tom Brady suggested that drinking large quantities of water could help prevent sunburn.

These days, even if I get an adequate amount of sun, I won't get a sunburn, which I credit to the amount of water I drink. I always hydrate afterward, too, to keep my skin from peeling." This was quickly debunked by certified dermatologists, including one doctor who told NBC News: "Being hydrated has nothing to do with getting a sunburn, or whether your skin peels." Always wear your SPF! 2. Kourtney Kardashian Barker shared claims that drinking her husband's semen might help increase her fertility. Mega / Getty Images, Hulu / Disney+ In 2023, Kourtney and her husband, Travis Barker, welcomed a baby boy after many months of trying to conceive. Their IVF journey was well documented on The Kardashians in 2022. In one episode, Kourtney listed off a ton of things that her doctor said might help boost her fertility - including drinking Travis's semen four times a week. The doctor claimed that this would help deal with abnormal thyroid levels and, therefore, potentially increase her fertility; however, experts soon spoke out to debunk the unconventional recommendation. "I think it's a ridiculous thing for her to be putting out there," a board-certified obstetrician, gynecologist, and infertility specialist told Business Insider in 2022, calling the suggestion "absolutely ridiculous and not based on anything." 3. Shailene Woodley said that eating clay "is one of the best things you can put in your body" and that we should be sunbathing our genitals. Stefania D'alessandro / Getty Images, Live Kelly and Mark / ABC / Via youtu.be Speaking to Into The Gloss in 2014, Shailene raved about ingesting clay, claiming that it "helps clean heavy metals out of your body." "Clay is great for you because your body doesn't absorb it," she said, "and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes." This is not scientifically backed, and the FDA has even issued warnings against consuming bentonite clay, which is what Shailene specifically recommended. In the same interview, Shailene also raised eyebrows by saying that she sunbathes her vagina to help with things like yeast infections, "other genital issues," and energy levels. "If you're feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get," she suggested. "Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine." There appears to be no medical backing to this "health hack" (known as "perineum sunning"), and skincare professionals have advised against trying it due to the dangers of painful sunburn. 4. Beyoncé went two weeks without eating solid food. Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images, TheEllenShow / Via youtu.be To prepare for her role in Dreamgirls back in 2006, Bey talked about dropping 20 pounds in the space of two weeks by doing the Master Cleanse, which involves giving up all solid food and drinking just a concoction of lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup every day. The Master Cleanse has been widely criticized and would not be recommended by health professionals. And, for what it's worth, I'm not sure Bey would recommend it either, having said the severe hunger made her feel "evil." 5. Christian Louboutin suggested that wearing high heels can help women orgasm. Marc Piasecki / Getty Images, Moritz Scholz / Getty Images This is a wild one. In a 2011 interview with the Sunday Times, Christian Louboutin - yep, the real person behind those expensive red-bottom shoes - made the following claim: "What is sexual in a high heel is the arch of the foot, because it is exactly the position of a woman's foot when she orgasms. So, putting your foot in a heel, you
