Wiretap: Boy George Killed the YouTube Star

Speaking of Boy George and YouTube, it seems he's taken a shine to the site, posting interviews with himself under the moniker georgiegirl5.

He's even written a short "Ode to YouTube."

We're not sure where on the scale of interesting/sad this falls. Guess it beats street-sweeping. Or going on Celebrity Fit Club. Though surely, if he's that hungry for face time, someone could have gotten him a guest musician slot on American Idol.

Wiretap: Culture Club & Dolly Parton -- Your Kisses Are Charity

When we posted the Cher/David Bowie YouTube clip, we thought we'd unearthed the camp mother lode. Then, we found this Dolly Parton duet with Culture Club. Yoinks.

It's sort of the ultimate genderfuck, a man who dresses like a woman singing with a woman who dresses like a drag queen (No offense, Dolly. We will always love you). The sheer amount of makeup on that stage boggles the mind. Think George nicked any of Dolly's false eyelashes after the set?

Photo Call: Boy George: He'll Sweep Trash 4 Ya

Ah, the photo we've been waiting for; Boy George, who's assembled what appears to be to one of his largest audiences in ages, performing his court-appointed community service. The Boy got a little testy with photographers and oglers, even using his broom to sweep dust at their cameras. So, safety tip: if you happen to be in Chinatown and come across Boy George, do not taunt him, mock him, or litter the streets with your old Culture Club albums because he might just hit ya. Please do, however, take as many surreptitious photos as possible.

On a side note, that safety orange vest is rather fetching. Wonder if George will incorporate it into his B-Rude clothing line.

Wiretap: He'll Pick Trash For Ya

Boy George is beginning his court-appointed community service with a quick sweep through Chinatown. Armed with a pushbroom, some rubber gloves, and plenty of trash bags, the Boy is going to get up close and personal with the detritus on New York's none-too-sanitary streets. Like Oscar Wilde said: "All of us are in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Now, we can see some of our stars cleaning out our gutters. Fabulous!

Pity the Piv. It seems that with all the fame and success of Entourage (and his new head of hair), there's one thing that still not A-list. Jeremy Piven's got a tiny dick, and his girlfriend ain't too happy. [omg blog]

Boy George is really not having a good year. He get's arrested, pisses off the judge, and now...his old band Culture Club have booted him and are on the lookout for a new lead singer. Tranny-looking vocalists, queue up. [modern fabulosity]

K Fed lounges by the pool in Miami. It's what he does best. Don't stare at his pastiness or flab too long, or your eyeballs will melt. [Dlisted]
