Serving food the Lloyd Webber way
 

It’s around this time in a normal week that people would be sitting down to enjoy a nice Sunday lunch. While we can’t offer you anything of the sort, we’ve got a few stories about celebrity hospitality instead.

Someone who once spent an evening at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gaff says that the house contains two back-to-back kitchens. One where the real action happens, and another where guests are encouraged to hang out, while Andrew convivially produces piping hot food straight from the “oven” – which is actually a sort of trompe l’oeil serving hatch, with the food poked through from the other one.

Richard Madeley’s signature tuna casserole recipe: one can chicken soup, one can mushroom soup, two cans tuna, peas, mushrooms and boiled pasta, all mixed up, topped with two bags of salt and vinegar crisps, baked for 30 minutes.

Question of the Day
 

We’re still more than happy to hear your stories about celebrity cubicles and signature dishes but, seeing as we’ve had quite a few emails in from people complaining about their celebrity landlord Alan Sugar’s recent treatment, we wanted to know about other famous stars you might have rented or bought from.

Today’s Question: Have you ever bought/leased/hired a property from someone famous? (Or have you ever had a superstar tenant?)

Send us your stories of celebrity property dealings to hello@popbitch.com and we’ll send a Popbitch goody bundle to our favourites.

More celebrity cubicle chat
 

AF writes:
“Back in the early days of the NME Brat Awards, I was queuing with a Britpop drummer for a cubicle, and we got talking to Sice from The Boo Radleys. Eventually one came free and the three of us crowded in. As the lines appeared, Sice suddenly exclaimed ‘Oh, I don’t do THAT!’ and bolted out the door.

“Begging the question, what the hell did he think we were going to do in there?”

Flying low with Five Bellies
 

DocLok writes:
“Back in the heady days of the late 90s, I was on the guest list for the opening of Home nightclub in Leicester Square. In the toilets relatively early in the evening there was a huge commotion in one of the cubicles. Eager to see what could be the cause of it I hung around washing my hands, to be met by the sight of Gazza, Jimmy Five Bellies and Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock piling out of it, high as kites.

“They were all perfectly polite but my overriding memory was of Jimmy and Razor talking far too animatedly to me about the taps in the renovated bathroom, whilst their members were on full display to the world.

“They marched out of the toilets and proceeded to leave them on display until asked politely to “please zip yourselves up” by a waiter.”

Julian Assange used to make a special hot plate spaghetti bolognese for his visitors when he was staying in the Ecuadorian Embassy. Until the ambassador told him off for stinking up the place with the fried garlic and onions.

Jo Whiley’s bog breakout
 

RJ writes:
“I once got locked in a toilet backstage at Union Chapel during a gig. The church doors were old and tough so got stuck a lot. I was banging for help when someone shouted out “STAND BACK!” – before Jo Whiley karate-kicked the door down, whilst wearing a miniskirt. She was hosting the series of gigs there, and said this had happened a lot to people.”
