Boy George (with Culture Club) was so much fun in the 80’s that we’re glad to see him back! ”My God” is the second single from his comeback album “This is What I Do” and it’s mesmerizing in a fashiony kind of way. He seems to be preaching some form of tolerance in this song. Sometimes it’s not easy to look at a bearded man wearing lip gloss, but if anyone can pull it off, George can.
It looks like Boy George really DID turn over a new leaf after he got out of prison in the UK. You’ll recall he served time a few years ago for “imprisoning” a male escort in a drug-fueled frenzy. George says he’s been sober since March 2008, and he actually has a successful career as a club DJ. (The same job he had before the band Culture Club was formed.) In fact the 80’s icon told Punk Globe that he’s just finishing a world club tour and also has a record company where he remixes and creates dance music. (Above, George at a recent London event, and below, au natural on the street.)
Boy George showed up at Vivienne Westwood’s London Fashion Week show dressed within his physical and financial limits. George is trying to angle a job as a judge on a talent competition like “The X Factor,” but he wants a very large budget for his wardrobe. He brought a friend dressed in head to toe latex and we’re not sure if it’s a male or female. We’re guessing male.
We’re guessing that Gavin Rossdale had some serious ‘splaining to do to his wife Gwen Stefani after his startling interview with Details magazine in which he finally verified his youthful affair with another man. Rumors of Gavin’s teenage fling with gender bending 80’s performer Marilyn (real name Peter Robinson) who was a close friend of Boy George, have floated for years. Marilyn insisted Gavin was “the love of my life.” (young Gavin and Marilyn both look rather girly in photo above) Boy George backed him up, and after years of dismissing the stories, Gavin has come clean. He said it was “experimental.” Immediately after giving the interview Gavin is said to have panicked and asked to have his confession removed, but the magazine refused. Gavin realized his wife didn’t know about the affair, but she certainly does now. How do you think Gwen reacted to the news?
We ALMOST didn’t recognize Boy George in this photo from London. The bigger-than-ever former “Culture Club” singer checked out the spot where George Michael had his last auto accident with amusement as he walked to the subway. George has declared himself as “militantly gay” but you’d never guess it by looking at him here.

80’s Culture Club singer Boy George is looking more like Alfred Hitchcock every day. We’re not even going to comment about his fashion. The portly singer was denied a work permit in the US, but George is busy touring in the UK. His solo act is billed as “The Boy is Back in Town.” Ticket sales are not spectacular- we hear that Culture Club is also touring with a new lead singer. Why can’t these band-mates get along?
Anyone who frequents flea markets knows how hard those people work who sit outside all day in all kinds of weather selling their vintage or discount items. And it’s not often that a celebrity and onetime popstar sets up a booth. Boy George must have fallen on hard times because he’s now a bald and plump t shirt vendor at an East End market in London. One of the styles he sells says “PARIS HILTON S*CKS” George better be careful or his head will get sunburned.
The website Gaydar in the UK promises “What you want, when you want it” and Boy George took them at their word. He coaxed a Norwegian male “model” into coming to his house at midnight to pose for some photos. According to the model, who denies he is an escort, George and another man slapped handcuffs on him and fastened him to a hook on the wall. George pulled out some leather whips and sex toys and cackled “Now you’ll get what you deserve!” Whether he got what he deserved is unknown because the model escaped at 6:30 AM by yanking the hook out of the wall and running to the nearest newstand where he called police. WE wonder if we’ll ever find out what happened between 12 and 6:30 AM. George is supposedly out on bail.
