That's How It Happened

"The first thing I seen is O.J. Simpson, and I remember thinking to myself 'wow, that's O.J. Simpson, he has a big fucking head, man". Charlie Murphy, on first walking into Studio 54.

The nice people from City Hospital were trying to film a live segment from our Labour Ward today. For the first time I ran into Nadia Sawalha, sister of the more famous Julia. She looks like she does on the telly, except she has a "big fucking head". This is not the first craniomegalic celeb I have encountered. Quentin Tarantino (as seen at the Kill Bill Vol 1 premiere) has a pretty big conk, and Leonardo Di Caprio (seen at the The Beach premiere) has an absolutely disproportionately ginormous head. I propose three theories for the relative tendency of the famous to have giant noggins:
1. It's just an illusion brought on by being star struck. They have normal sized heads, but swooning in their presence causes selective visual disturbance.
2. Their big heads caused them to be bullied as kids, and this spurred them to pursue fame avidly.
3. Their outsize egos cannot be contained in a normal cranium, so their skulls have swelled.
