We're feeling a little - how shall we say - 'otherworldly' this morning, so this post seems fitting.
The singer/one time X Factor judge is a fan of conspiracy theories and thinks humans would be "self centered" to believe there isn't life on other planets and in certain areas which haven't been explored as yet
Talking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she explained: "I know that they're real. There could possibly be mermaids that are actually an alien species that live in parts of the Indian Ocean... which we have never explored before as human beings. I just think it's possible."
She adds: "Christopher Columbus saw three mermaids on his way to America so they must be real." That was in his quest to prove the world wasn't flat so it was a time of much mirth in the make believe department.
Show host Seth told her she was "very convincing" but when she spoke about a recent documentary she'd watched about the myths, he couldn't resist saying: "The Little Mermaid?"
He then adds: "Nothing would make me happier than mermaids being real. I'd rather live in your world than mine where I'm a cynic and I just wake up every morning and be like, 'Well, I'm not gonna see a mermaid'."
Asked if she thought they looked like mermaids in books, she replied: "No, they're like aliens, there's like pictures online. You can laugh at me all you want."
She's not wrong, ya know.
