Strange story breaking this evening from New York, where the wires are just reporting the arrest of Boy George. The charges, apparently, are possessing cocaine and making a false police report:
The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, called police from a Little Italy apartment around 3:14 a.m. and reported a burglary, said Detective Kevin Czartoryski, a police spokesman.
Officers arrived on the scene and discovered a small amount of cocaine next to a computer, police said. A woman in the apartment said there was more cocaine around and police were continuing to investigate.
A former spokesman for O'Dowd's autobiographical musical "Taboo," which closed last year, said he did not know whether the singer had a spokesman or lawyer.
That last line seems the oddest of all, really.

ReplyDeleteAll a bit bizarre. Why did he call the police to report a burglary if indeed there wasn't one? Maybe he didn't call and it was a raid...
ReplyDeletePlease God don't let it be a desperate attempt to hit the headlines a la Kate Moss with a cocaine story. Call the police, leave the coke by the computer, cry outside court...
Don't get me wrong though, I adore Mr O'Dowd and wish him well...
