Boy George ... robbed in flat

Busted by male hooker

DRUG-bust star Boy George was arrested after calling cops when a male hooker tried to rob him, it was reported last night.

The singer is said to have panicked when the rent boy demanded he hand over all his cash.

By the time cops arrived the prostitute had scarpered but a frightened pal of the star is supposed to have blurted out that there was “a lot more” cocaine in the New York flat.


Boy George, 44, was then arrested after police seized up to 3.5 grammes of the drug.

Yesterday a police department source claimed: “The prostitute demanded his money.

“George refused and said he was going to call police. The prostitute said, ‘Go ahead and you’ll go to jail’. So George freaked out because he was high, called the police, the prostitute left and George got arrested.”

The NYPD yesterday confirmed the star — real name George O’Dowd — called them after a man tried to rob him.

But a spokesman said: “I can’t confirm this person was a prostitute — it’s part of the investigation.”

George was released last Saturday after appearing in Manhattan Criminal Court and will return on December 19.

The Karma Chameleon star now a DJ and producer, has since returned to his home in London.

Last night his manager Tony Gordon refused to comment. But he said: “George is a lovely, good boy.”

I don't know why this strikes me as so funny, but it does

Well, I find it funny because it provides a verification for what most of us have always known.....behind the glamour and the elaborate stage settings and the expensive audio and TV studio production facilities, most celebrities are complete and utterly worthless trash, who would be at the same level as the most decrepit street bum if it had not been for a lucky break that provided them with this huge facade that allows them to be projected as an 'artiste' to the world.

Man, those cheekbone implants must've hurt him, too. I hope he didn't pay good money for them.

When we start considering the possibilities of implants and this creep in the same context, I would suggest that we may VERY QUICKLY get into an area that I certainly don't want to go and is quite likely against Free Republic posting guidelines to even THINK about   ((((SHUDDER))))

A pretty straightforward thing here, and of course if you don't consider the matter worth your time you are of course entirely welcome to spend your time elsewhere. Not every thread is going to appeal to everyone, nor should it.

Not a problem. I was trying to understand why you felt this deserved more coverage than it had gotten. I hope you get what you want, but I would hate to see Court TV or the tabloids go wall to wall with this. You think they are censoring the news because of an agenda. I think, in this case, it is because he is a minor celeb at best. Regardless, I hope you get what you want. Best wishes.

Nothing more pathetic than a middle-aged drag queen.
 

How about a talentless, has-been middle-aged drag queen with a major drug problem who picks up homosexual prostitutes? 

THAT's pathetic  :-)

Sounds like the hooker really wanted to hurt him.

PERVERSION AT ITS HIGHEST DEGREE!... Just remember those 'gay pride' parades when they try to get you to consider what they do as being 'normal' and "healthy".

Exactly. and the thing, the LEFT (MSM, Educational System, (many teachers), HOLLYWOOD, Madison Avenue... They actually must have thought, that is was a question of "advertising." I bet they all actually planned/coordinated their 'indoctrination campaing' for many years... because they all believe we are basically 'idiots,' that we buy anything if they repeat it often enough. I mean, look at Pelossi, and all the rats for that matter, on ANYTHING, Katrina whatever, they sing the "mantra," Bush is evil, stupid.... corrupt.... lier.... [smile].. and they actually believe, that in the next elections, we are going to vote for them! huh! Same with the homos, they though they had done the 'homework' and had it in the bag. they were ready to marry. You are right, they have the gumption to try to make us believe that the PRIDE parade is a reflection of "healthyness," and virtous living.. something they proudly display as something to be cherished and admired... HELLOooooo? :)

Really?  It seems to me that there was plenty of opportunity if there was a sincere desire in that direction....BG was able to use the phone after all.  There were no reports of injuries that I saw.  I'm thinking that it was mainly a matter of BG getting scared.  Only a few people truly know what happened, however.

But who knows  and more importantly, who cares in the grand scheme of things?  Hopefully BG will be in jail for a very long time where he will have far fewer worries upon his fevered brow, and we can have one less pervert on the TV and in the newspapers.

Most of us thought that he was washed up at the height of his career, but the 12 year old girls who bought millions of his records kept him afloat for a very, very long time, unfortunately.

It's one of those unseemly deals that happens every day to the gay, straight and in-between. This one just happened to have a funny ending because of the drug and celebrity factors. People don't seem to realize how feral the folks on the street are these days.

I'm sure that it will also be for the millions of women who were 12 and 14 years old during the '80's and buying Culture Club records.

Haha! I'm sure the millions of people who purchased Culture Club albums in the 1980s (and still do BTW) are shocked, shocked! to learn just now that Boy George is a homo!

Boy George gay? In a million years who would have ever thought that?

"O'Dowd" is as close to "Maureen Dowd" for me to post a CZJ photo. Sure, it's gratuitous, but most will forgive me. : )

Considering the fact that he talked about his homosexuality endlessly over the course of the past 20 years I doubt very much that anyone would be shocked about that, but having large amounts of drugs at home when he had been on a very public anti-drugs bandwagon as well as consorting with a homosexual prostitute may disappoint some fans.  It's true, many probably won't care just as many Michael Jackson fans will never care what evidence is brought against him.  Such is the cult of celebrity.

<<<<  standing up for Caipirabob's right to post pictures celebrating the exquisite female form anyplace he darn well likes   :-)

When we can't appreciate God's greatest works, then we will know that we are living under iron bootheel of the Taliban. AND it's a darned nice change from the hideous BG pictures as well :-)

Boy George and a male prostitute. Why does anyone need to cover that. It goes without saying.

If anyone can look at that man and not say flaming faggot they are clueless.

Well, it seems pretty obvious to most of us that Michael Jackson is a pedophile also but the media covers that as well.

Agreed, although I have never heard anybody suggest that that he isn't queer.  I'm not sure where this is coming from....it's a suggestion brought forth by several posters here and I must confess my bafflement....none of the relevant articles and no posts by anyone here including myself have ever suggested that he isn't a flaming poofter.
