George Michael Arrested

from perezhilton.com



Hoping to generate some Boy George-like interest, Gorge Michael was arrested over the weekend for possessing drugs after being found slumped at the wheel of a car in central London.

In addition to pot, police found GHB in his car. How very Nick Nolte of him!

The 42-year-old was discovered by a passer-by early on Sunday morning in Hyde Park Corner, who called the emergency services.
Michael was checked by paramedics who arrived at a street near the busy roundabout with the police, but the singer, who has a history of depression, did not need hospital treatment.

Police then searched the singer and allegedly discovered two forms of Class C drug - believed to be Cannabis and GHB, a type of liquid cannabis. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug.

The former member of Wham!, who in recent years has retreated from the limelight following a hugely successful career as a solo artist, is understood to have been taken to West End Central police station, after the arrest at 1.50am, where he was signed in under his real name, Georgios Kyriacos Panayitou.

Michael, who has admitted to using cannabis to combat depression in the past, was also arrested for being unfit to drive despite reports that the results of his breath test were negative. But he was de-arrested for that offence after being examined by a duty doctor.

It is not known how long he was kept at the station, but the singer was released on bail yesterday. Michael, who has a home in Hampstead, north London, and was due to marry his partner, the Texan sportswear salesman Kenny Gloss, early this year, will have to report back to the police station next month.

The singer's management were unable to comment on the arrest last night.


After both George and Boy stand trial (and are most likely sentenced to no jail time), we think it'd be a great idea if they went out on a joint tour together. Don't you?

Maybe even Pete Burns can join them

Ok, I doubt the validity of this coming from Perez Hilton, but isn't this cat supposed to be happily married?

Why is he turning to ganja?

I can't decide whether this is sad or pathetic. I was pretty tired of GM's frequent and almost-proud exclamations of pot use (such as remarking once in an interview that he was so high during some of the "Older" sessions that he had to sing while laying on the floor)given his battles with depression but in a recent interview it sounded like he was finally kicking the habit because it had killed his creativity.

Guess not...

I think that this is part of the reason so much of his output has been spotty and lethargic over the past 10 years.

WOW! I'm really saddened to hear this about George. Back in the day, "Careless Whisper" and "One More Try" were my chit. The man can sing! I hope that he gets it together wink .

George's weed intake has coincided with his low output.

George Michael had so much potential,but like Michael Jackson,he seems intent on ruining his career.

When will people realise that weed MAKES you depressed, it doesn't cure it (in the long run).

It has recently been pretty much proven to cause psychosis in specific types of predisposed people, too... it's not as "soft" as some make it out to be and it certainly won't cure depression.

But..."de-arrested"? I don't think I've ever heard that phrase before!

Nah, it's legit. I saw it on CNN as well. George has always been a drama queen, but he's become his own episode of COPS in recent years.

So he was partying one evening and was a little out of it. I'm sure there's plenty of people on the org who do the same. Doesn't necessarily mean he's crashing and burning. I really enjoyed his last few albums. While he may not be knocking out radio friendly hits, his music has matured quite a bit.
