Sordid celebrity secrets

We've all heard of certain movie stars changing their names to make themselves appear more glamorous. Marilyn Monroe rose from the ashes of Norma Jean Mortenson, John Wayne used to be known as Marion Morrison, and, shockingly, Bob Saget was once known as Robert Saget.

But do you know about the less-publicised name changes? Hold on to your seats, because I guarantee that my findings are going to shock you.

Lucy Liu used to be known as Lucy Poo. True!

Tom Cruise once had the unfortunate name Tom Poos. Shocking!

Respected political journalist Laurie Oakes was actually born Laurie Pack-Of-Smokes. Horrifying!

Possibly-just-as-respected political journalist (if anybody actually watched him) Quentin Dempster was christened Quentin Dumpster. Run for the hills!

We'll have more on this later. Trust me. Stay tuned.
