Poor Boy George, the fallout from his conviction for falsely reporting a burglary continues. The incident happened in October last year, when the police arrived to find no stripy-topped criminals carrying SWAG bags, but DID allegedly find cocaine. Anyway, the star was sentenced to a $1,000 fine and some community service, but a new warrant's been issued for Boy's arrest as he hasn't paid the fine, and his views on what constitutes acceptable community service differ from the court's.
Judge Anthony Ferrara has slated Boy's suggestion that he could run a fashion and make-up workshop - presumably because the demand for tips on painting your neck black to look slimmer isn't that big in NY - while George's lawyers say he's just trying to think of something more easy worthwhile than "sweeping the streets of Manhattan". How about a compromise: a fashion and make-up workshop for street-sweepers? [Stuart Dredge]
