GEORGE'S SEX SHAME

By Neville Thurlbeck

MEGA-RICH pop superstar George Michael this week sank to new levels of depravity—trawling for illegal gay sex thrills in a London park.

News of the World investigators caught the singer red-handed and red-faced as he emerged from the bushes after cavorting with a pot-bellied, 58-year-old, jobless van driver.

When challenged George, 43, was wild-eyed and trembling. Trying to hide his face under a baseball cap, he screamed:

"I don't believe it! F*** off! If you put those pictures in the paper I'll sue!"


Minutes earlier the one-time heart-throb had been lurking in the shadows at the notorious homosexual pick-up spot on Hampstead Heath.

George is a man with the world at his feet. He's on the brink of a lucrative 50-concert comeback tour, which sold out in half an hour.

Yet he ignored all the risks and dangers to pull seedy Norman Kirtland.

The pair kissed and groped each other before going even further. It was all in a public place and totally illegal — just like the day in 1998 when George flashed at an undercover cop in a California park toilet.

After the shock of being confronted by us, George stumbled to his flash Mercedes coupe, retrieved his keys from their hiding place on top of the rear wheel and roared off into the night — back to his world of showbiz, celebs and glitz.

Grubby

Meanwhile his new buddy Kirtland crept from the undergrowth looking sheepish and rushed to his Ford Transit van. As he opened the door a grubby, stained mattress was clearly visible in the back.

We later tracked him to his home 60 miles away—a squalid flat in Brighton, East Sussex.

Looking gross and dishevelled, Kirtland answered the door naked — pulling on grimy shorts as he invited us in.

The contrast with George Michael's opulent, high-roller rock lifestyle was stark.

George, whose family is Greek-Cypriot, has amassed a £70million fortune from sales of records including I Want Your Sex and Careless Whisper. He owns a £5million London town house and a £4million Beverly Hills mansion.

Kirtland's dingy place just off Brighton seafront, was littered with rubbish, dirty crockery and filthy laundry. His only companion is a 20-year-old cat.

He told us: "I don't even like George Michael. And I didn't recognise him immediately.

"He sort of came up and got close. He looked kind of brown so I said to him, ‘You're not totally English, are you?'

"I told him I'd come all the way up from Brighton and he said, ‘What? Isn't Brighton good enough for this sort of thing?'

"I told him it's highly dangerous at 2am. You'd get your throat cut.

"He told me I could contact him on the Gaydar website and we just started kissing.

"He did it very well. That was one of his major points. Then it was fondling and mutual pleasuring. It wasn't full sex but it was fantastic."

Kirtland's confession then took a bizarre twist as he bragged: "There's a secret that I have which no one knows about. It's a personal thing.

"Most people pull away from it. But George actually seemed to respond.

"When we'd finished he said, ‘I've got to go. I've got to go somewhere and chill out.' And that was that.

"OK, I admit I was there for sex. But I'm astonished a man as famous as George should even think about doing it. It's potentially so dangerous."

George's night of shame began just after midnight on Tuesday when he took a short drive from his Highgate house to the Hampstead home of long-term lover Kenny Goss.

Five minutes later he drove to the nearby heath and spent two hours prowling around before hooking up with Kirtland.

When confronted by our team, a shaken George desperately tried to justify his sordid secret quest for cheap, risky thrills, which friends fear is spiralling out of control and threatening his destruction.

In a sweat, the ashen-faced singer declared: "Are you gay? No? Then f*** off! This is my culture!"

Then he claimed: "I'm not doing anything illegal. The police don't even come up here any more.

"I'm a free man, I can do whatever I want. I'm not harming anyone."

But George's worried pals say the former Wham! frontman is the one being harmed.

After the California cottaging scandal, George escaped a six-month jail term but was sentenced to community service plus sex therapy to curb his habits.

It obviously hasn't worked. In February this year he was cautioned by police for possessing cannabis after being found slumped in his car by London's Hyde Park Corner at 1.50am.

Weeks later we snapped him driving erratically and he appeared to fall asleep at traffic lights.

One friend said last night: "We're really concerned. It's long been known he's a heavy cannabis user but we're beginning to fear the pot may have affected his mind. He's lost his judgment. He must seek professional help or things could end very badly for him.

"He's just asking for serious trouble. One day he'll be attacked in one of these dodgy late-night encounters.

"It's so sad to see a talented guy wasting himself like this."

Well I wouldn't fuck him with your dick- but I love George Michael. He's got a beautiful voice, I'm still going to buy his albums and I'd love to see him live... on stage that is.

i don't think he should be "shamed" for this, but i do think he needs to keep in mind that he lives in a culture that shames public figures for doing things like having public sex. i guess he doesn't care - the whole hunter/gatherer park-sex thing must be what turns him on - but at this point i'd think if he doesn't care, he'd take a more blase approach when the media starts messing with him. all i know is, his boyfriend must be a saint...that, or his boyfriend is even a bigger manwhore than GM is, and doesn't give a damn!

what country do you hail from Rudyray?

purplerein said:

i didn't think it was funny. i just thought it was like, "awww crap, not again"

GM needs to go on tour so he can score with groupies like every other red-blooded rock star, straight or gay (or anything in between)!

ok, I sort of get why the gay public sex thing started many years ago, but in this day and age, I really just find it disgusting.

Anx said:

or GM's money?

CarrieMpls said:

i think it's a generational thing. i think you learn certain behaviors and they stick with you, even if society's progress makes those behaviors unnecessary. in the '70s, the hottest, sexiest, most thrilling thing you could do was go to a park or the piers and have anonymous sex all night. then came AIDS. and after that, i think gen X and subsequent generations grew up in some ways, and in other ways we've created new high-risk behaviors (hello: METH). this isn't to say some younger folks don't like to whore it up in the parks, but i do think it's something that has more to do with people who started having sexual experiences before the early 80s. i don't fully "get" the sex-in-the-park thing, either. when i'm done having sex i need my refrigerator nearby because i get the munchies. what am i going to do, bring a cooler to the park with me? i don't think so!

Anx said:

1) thanks for articulating things so clearly and understandably...

2) when i'm done having sex i need my refrigerator nearby because i get the munchies.....you have sex in the kitchen????

purplerein said:

stranger things have happened.

Anx said:

do tell

purplerein said:

that's another thread.

Anx said:

fine. be that way.

Anx said:

ahhh but i bet your "hunter/gatherer" comment also explains why that is of less interest to him...
those people are seeking him out - they know he's george michael
the ones in the park have no idea and are just looking for the sex

mind you, as this blabber mouth shows, stories of his sexcapades are no less safer here than with a groupie

emm said:

Emm, George chose to have the sex in a public way. HE is responsible for his sexcapades becoming known. There has to be personal responsibility on his part for how he behaves

Anx said:

I suppose that makes sense. But these days I tend to associate it with closeted married men and I have little patience for that. Not that it's any of my business really whether to have patience with that or not, I suppose.

CarrieMpls said:

well, i'm sure there are many parts of smalltown america where this kind of business is all lots of men have if they want to connect in ANY way with other men. forget a nice "getting to know you" coffee date if you live in some bible belt hicktown. what if people see? unfortunately, i think the parks still serve a purpose. not that it's ideal or necessarily healthy, but it IS an outlet, and it's also a statement on the intolerance of the rest of the community, that this kind of thing is what some people feel they have to resort to.

Anx said:

If you're not a writer for a living, you should be. just sayin

can we keep the serious discussions to a minimum on this forum?? That's what the P&R is for people.


Let's talk about George Michaels horrible comb forward hair style...not that shit is funny!

"cavorting with a pot-bellied, 58-year-old, jobless van driver. "

Anx said:

Very true. I sometimes forget that have the luxory of forgetting about that.

LleeLlee said:

if i get a van, i can SO TOTALLY be a starfucker in a couple years.

he's growing it longer to make a devil's tail

Anx said:

Hampstead Heath is a nice part of London, we can go walking there and I'll show you the right bush to meet Georgie AND Kevin Spacey

jerseykrs said:

purplerein said:

absolutely... he has to deal with the consequences
and perhaps this will help change his behavior?
i guess it's just disappointing to see the glee this naked cat man had in revealing things.

so does the tour still go ahead now?

emm said:

it would be stupid if this postponed the tour. paris hilton can get away with all kinds of public sluttery and still have time to attend the opening of a cat food can, so GM should be able to pull his pants up long enough to tour.

emm said:

Of course he's going to reveal it, he's going to milk it for all he can. Make as much money as he can. He's a non-entity fool who has found a cash cow. George Michael should have known this would be all over the papers.
