George Michael has bad luck in public restrooms
British pop star George Michael was busted for drug possession this weekend. He was arrested in a public lavatory as the Brits say, after the loo attendent reported him for loitering. The drugs are said to include marijuana and crack. Crack?! I didn’t know he was that far gone. Cops confirmed that a 45-year-old man was arrested on Hampstead Heath, where the Victorian South End Green bathrooms are an infamous meeting spot for gay men who go cruising around the Heath. The area is a quick drive from the mansion Michael shares with partner Kenny Goss.
In 1998, Michael was busted for engaging in lewd conduct in a public restroom in California. In 2006, he was twice arrested for drug offenses. Michael released a statement last night, in which he said, “I want to apologise to my fans for screwing up again and to promise them I’ll sort myself out. And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them.” Oh George. The 90’s were a good time for him, but the 00’s–not so much.
