Drug Crazed Boy

Not even the mystical magic of Jewish Kaballah could save the Boy George from going to jail for 15 months. Boy, whose head is tattooed with a large Star of David even though his name is O'Dowd was found guilty last Decemeber of handcuffing and beating a male escort in a drug fueled sexcapade.

Because Kaballah is basically numerology, it's hardly surprising that the scene of the sensational crime included a ritual specific 13 bags of coke. Other mystical instances of 13? Alex Rodriguez's jersey and the number of original colonies in the United States.

A Sad Day For Has-Beens

Not much of a day for cultural icons. First OJ is thrown in the clink for reals and now we hear Boy George has been convicted of some man on man naughtiness in the East End of London. Despite a well crafted defense contending Boy George was too fat to have attacked the trim Norwegian Audun Carlsen, they were unable to convince the Snaresbrook Crown Court of any innocence whatsoever. Old World indeed.

Everybody has their own take on good times so if the escapades of the Karma Chameleon in his Shoreditch flat sound like something you'd like up your alley, use Gaydar. It's for getting what you want when you want it. Boy and Audun did. Plus, The Old Blue Last is appropriately enough just there in Shoreditch! Tell Capper The Running Mule sent you.
