George Michaels Gets 100 Hours Community Service

Former Wham! frontman George Michaels, who, we all know, loves his "Father Figures (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment)" on the hairy bear side, got 100 hours of Community Service to be compeleted in 12 months. You remember when he was found in his car on the side of the road? Michaels' bloodstream was found to have a veritable cocktail -- no pun intended -- of the good stuff, including, cannabis, GHB, sleeping pills and anti-depressants. From Thisislondon:

"George Michael could give singing lessons in youth clubs as part of his sentence for drug-driving.

"The singer escaped jail when he appeared in court but was given 100 hours' community service after admitting driving while unfit through drugs.

"The sentence means he can continue his world tour and play sell-out concerts at Wembley Stadium tonight and tomorrow."

Props on the deft plug -- no pun intended -- George.

"As he left the court, he told the assembled media that he would not answer any questions. He posed for waiting photographers, and then read a short statement.

"He said he was ashamed of risking other people's lives as he drove his Mercedes erratically in North London in the early hours of October 1 last year.

"Police found the car stopped at traffic lights with Michael slumped at the wheel, drooling and sweating."

Charmed, I'm sure.

Michaels has an odd thing for letting his freak-flag fly in public -- in outdoor "commodes", at Hampton Heath, etc. Johnny Law doesn't appreciate. What good, we wonder, is being a millionaire rock star if you have to "Do-Your-Thing" in public spaces? That's what the riff-raff does. Wasn't that why The Stone's rocked out with their cocks out on Mustique? Get with the program, George Michaels, and act your income bracket. (Thisislondon)
