Boy George in prison: First picture of jailed star Exclusive by Graham Brough 19/01/2009
Boy George sits forlornly on a bed in his tiny jail cell signing autographs for fellow prisoners.
It is the first picture of the fallen pop star since he was jailed on Friday. A prison source said George’s cellmate, a large Jamaican called Dread, is acting as his minder. He added: “The prison authorities thoughthe might be picked on for being weak so they are paying this guy with cigarettes and polo mints to protect him.
“They are normally given to new inmates as an one-off but this guy is getting regular supplies to look after George.” The source said ex-Culture Club singer George, 47, who has been wearing a T-shirt featuring a pair of glittery handcuffs, needed a minder because he seemed disorientated by life in London’s Pentonville Prison.
chamaeleone?
Boy George has his own little culture club right there is prison.
I’d guess he feels right at home.
Within no time he’ll have nearly as much power and influence as the warden....
He’ll drop the soap on purpose.
Think of the bright side. Pace, Oscar Wilde, He can title his next album: “The Ballad of Pentonville Gaol.”
He’s fat! I thought I was looking at the lead singer of the Pixies.
Former Culture Club frontman Boy George was sentenced on Friday to 15 months in jail after being found guilty last month of falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male escort.
The singer had told police he invited Carlsen back to his home after a cocaine-fueled pornographic photo shoot in January, 2007, because he suspected the Norwegian of stealing pictures from his computer.
During the two-week trial, Carlsen countered that the singer had handcuffed him and beaten him with a chain because he was angry he had refused to sleep with him when they first met.
LOL! Don't you love that commercial? Who in the world spends that kind of money on paper towels?
There are few things in life more tragi-comic than an old drag-queen. I guess an old fat drag queen sitting in jail would be one of them. LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL
Yes, he is a Kabballah celebrity.
He’s just as disgusting as Bawney Fwank....
“might be picked on for being weak so they are paying this guy with cigarettes and polo mints to protect him.”
Do you really want to hurt me/
Do you really want to make me cry
sending gay guys to prison isn’t much of a punishment.
(the violence in prison is horrific and I’m not condoning that)
What is that?
He was formerly a boxer. His options for fighting back are limited.
What's “Dread” going to do when he runs out of mints and fags?
I dunno, pink might suit him.
