Has This Been Tried Before?

Choose a celeb past or present from music, film sport etc, and put their life into a 5 line limerick, I know there are some creative minds out there so give it a go. I will start with......

A boy from Tupeleo became King
Man he really could sing
He would belt out rock n roll
Till his life took it's toll
And his passing great sorrow did bring

[Zacs-Master]

There was a young fella named Best
Who to all other teams was a pest
He played for Man U
And I er land too
And is enjoying a bloody good rest.

[marval]

There was an MP called Balls
Who worked in Westminster's halls
He made it his mission
While in the opposition
To get hold of Cameron's smalls

[Zacs-Master]

There still is a singer called jagger
'Bout his music he's a bit if a bragger
But despite all the wrinkles
And plenty of crinkles
You cannot deny he has swagger

[magicmick]

There is a singer called Cliff
Comes across a little bit stiff
But when rain did stop play
He put on a impromptu display
Now there's not much left of his quiff

[plautus]

The only lines which rhythmically scan are the fourth and fifth, that is without mentioning the rogue apostrophe in "it's"

[parkie]

There once was a feller called Dave
Who with school friends was quite one to rave
But now he's PM
"I really hate them
Who'd drive me, to an early grave."

[Canary42]

An ex-public schoolboy called Osborne
At his new job was totally forlorn
To boost his rich cronies
He took all the monies
From the sick, the poor, and low-born

[Zacs-Master]

There once was a pedant called platus
Who's words were comparable to flatus
So with lots of hot air
And many words to spare
His lack of humour deflates us

[owdhamer]

There were four lads from thePool
played music and acted the fool
only two left now
nowt to do but count money
wives and wow.

[Zacs-Master]

Sorry ill try that again

There once was a pedant called Plautus
Who's words of wisdom he taught us
But they all were hot air
And made us despair
He would turn us all into tortaus (tortoise)

Wellllll, you try finding something to rhyme with Plautus.

[marval]

Two ladies called Jem and Star
Told jokes that were best by far
They make people laugh
Including the staff
The Ed said what joke tellers you are

[owdhamer]

Will boring little tit do zac

[starone]

oh, thanks marval, but you should have included yourself. I always laugh at your jokes.

[marval]

You are welcome Star.

[vulcan]

There is an actor called Clint,
his eyes had a magnificent glint,
as a cowboy he's tops,
he even plays cops,
"make my day" is a bit of a hint.

[rabet]

Our Plautus has gathered his wits,
To point out the error in it's:
Although he is right To bring this to light,
His pedantry gets on my tits.

[snags]

A fella named Jimmy from Leeds
Guilty of unsavoury deeds
But too late it was found
As he's now in the ground
And his victims in turmoil he leaves

[Mick-Talbot]

Lol @ rabet

[magicmick]

Great stuff each and all, I would like to give you all best answer, but I think there is still more to come, that's if it's ok

[magicmick]

His nickname was LeeWonPen
He came from a place called Howfen
Bolton wasn't so pretty so he went to the City
where he kept diving again and again
