Didn’t get out of bed.
Not today.

Lucas Hedges
Ate so many potato wedges
He changed his name to
Lucas Wedges.
Haha, only joking,
He just puked his guts up.

Marco Pierre White
Started a fight in his kitchen.
Not with a waiter or chef,
Because he new he couldn’t win.
Instead he goaded
A creme brûlée
Because he was a horrible,
Dangerous, dessert bûllŷ.

When she wasn’t playing the violin
Sarah Chang did the ironing
And got some crying in.
She found if she got enough tears
On the creases, the dampness
Helped flatten all sorts of bits and pieces.

John Malkovich
Had a bizarre, awkward twitch
On that bit
Between his testicles
And bottom hole.
It was usually fine,
But would quiver and shiver
Whenever he saw a big mole.

Raheem Sterling
Liked twirling in his swivel chair.
And he’d been earning
A pretty penny for the last few years,
So you can only imagine
The kind of swivel chair he had.

Nicholas Hoult
Felt a jolt. It was
Unsettling, and a wee bit sexy.
Which was unsettling.
And sexy.

Judd Apatow
Loved a good row.
A friendship ending type of row.
An uncomfortable for strangers type of row.
A break your jaw screaming type of row.
An “excuse me sir, I have to ask you to leave” type of row.
He just loved it.
But then, don’t we all?
The only thing with Judd Apatow, though,
Is that he preferred to have those rows
With himself.

Chelsea footballer,
Ross Barkley,
Got a job at
Barclays Bank.
He didn’t earn as much
As he did in his old job,
But he certainly didn’t
Stop slide tackling people
Every Saturday afternoon.

Jeff Bridges loved crisps with ridges.
Deep ones. Long ones.
Proper dusty flavoured ones.
The kind that made his nose twitch,
His eyes widen, his tongue dance,
His tastebuds paint a picture of simpler times –
A time of climbing trees, jumping in puddles,
Making mistakes and learning from them,
Nuanced debate, helping out your neighbour,
Singing in the bath, smiling at strangers.
Jeff Bridges loved crisps with ridges
(But not shitty cheese and onion ones. Yuck!)
