12 Moments That Had You Saying "WTF?" This Year

Persistent rumors of a split between Beyoncé and Jay Z gained steam earlier this year, and over the Summer, things reached a fever pitch. What seemingly started with an unfortunate family fight in an elevator quickly progressed into reports of separate hotels, traveling lawyers, and a possible divorce — all while photos of the couple during their On the Run tour showed them looking sweet and loving on stage (and don't even get us started on that heartfelt family moment at the MTV VMAs). We were so confused and fearful of a split between Beyoncé and Jay Z this year that we put together a timeline of all the relationship drama, though it became clear in September that there was no actual end in sight. The questions still remain, though: was there ever trouble in paradise, or was it all just a cruel, cruel hoax? We may never know.

Matthew McConaughey swept award season this year, picking up the coveted best actor trophies at every single ceremony. His acceptance speeches got crazier and crazier along the way and included everything from signature phrases like "Alright, alright, alright" and "just keep livin'" to his favorite chest-pounding move from The Wolf of Wall Street. Matthew's most random story came during his SAGs speech, when he went off on a tangent about Neptune. Remember this nugget? "It feels like they could put a blindfold on you and put you on a spaceship and take you to Neptune and you could hop off on the planet and they better have the sprockets rolling and when you get off that spaceship because you are going to behave as your man. That is a glorious feeling!" Congratulations on your many awards, Matthew, but we will just never understand most of what you're saying when you accept them — and we're kind of OK with it.

We were first introduced to Pharrell's enormous hat at the Grammy Awards in January, and the head-scratching began almost immediately. The Internet compared him to everything from Dudley Do-Right and Smokey the Bear to Woody from Toy Story and even the Arby's logo. Pharrell explained the legacy of his giant headwear, saying, "It's a Vivienne Westwood Buffalo hat from when she was with Malcolm McLaren," adding, "It's not vintage — I would've been really stylin' if I had one from the '80s." Since the Grammys, Pharrell has popped up wearing his now-infamous hat in shades of tan, gray, and green — and even though we're all still pretty baffled by it, it's definitely an accessory that we'll never forget.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 mysteriously went missing in March, and rocker Courtney Love was just one celebrity to share her condolences for the passengers and their distraught families. In addition to her heartfelt messages of concern, the Hole frontwoman went a few steps further, claiming to know where the aircraft was located. Courtney posted a satellite photo on Facebook of the ocean off the coast of Vietnam, which, aided by labels and arrows made in Microsoft Paint, seemed to reveal what could have been the missing plane and oil underwater. Along with the image, Courtney wrote, "I'm no expert but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick," adding, "Prayers go out to the families [of passengers on] #MH370 and it's like a mile away Pulau Perak, where they 'last' tracked it 5°39'08.5"N 98°50'38.0"E but what do I know?" Sadly, nobody — least of all Courtney Love — has been able to recover the missing aircraft since the incident occurred.

The saga of the size of Kylie Jenner's lips was less of a confusing moment and more of a confusing phenomenon. The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan sported multiple beauty looks this year, but the change that had people most mystified was her growing pout. Naturally, rumors spread that Kylie had gotten some sort of lip injections, and Kylie's comments were more dismissive than explanatory. "I feel like everyone has been talking about it for months, so I'm kind of sick of it," she said. "In my pictures, I pout them out a lot. I think big lips are awesome." She also admitted, "I love lip liner and overlining my lips." It was her big sister Kim Kardashian who spilled all the beans on Kylie's makeup tricks in an interview, saying, "Kylie draws her lip like this," while tracing her finger over her upper lip and adding, "She's so good at makeup. She only wears a lip liner and fills it in. She doesn't wear a lipstick or a gloss." Hopefully, the confusion over Kylie's mouth will cool down in 2015; maybe she'll finally give us a YouTube tutorial?
