Boy George doesn't play nicely with others

Boy George is not reticent about sharing his thoughts on his peers.  Recently spending a sweltering summer in the Big apple cleaning the streets after a cocaine bust, the famous singing makeup devotee has returned to one of the things he does best: giving pop stars a tongue lashing "Boy" style.

George rcently was quoted in the UK Independent describing the material mum Madonna as "vile", Sir Elton John as a drama queen who appeals to "common-or garden variety homosexuals", and Robbie Williams's music as "terrible".  And apparently those were the nicer comments.

The Independent reports O'Dowd (real name) also reveals that, despite his high profile and fortune, he is a fan of gay prostitutes and tells how he lost himself in his addiction to cocaine.

George, 45, was ordered by the New York courts to serve five days' community service in the dog days of August in a very public community service stint, which saw him surrounded by paparazzi and reporters as he swept the icky gutters of Manhattan.

The singer was the frontman for Culture Club, and was satirized incessantly for his makeup looks and crazy get ups and hats.

In England, on a Channel 4 documentary, George has proved he has lost none of the vim and vigor to slag his pop peers. His best ammo is reserved for Madonna.

"Madonna... I just think she's a vile, hideous, horrible human being with no redeeming qualities. There's nothing nice about her. I've never heard anyone say anything nice about her at all. And anyone that's ever met her she's been vile to. Vile, full of herself - so unspiritual. How has this woman got away with it for so long?"

Robbie Williams gets it too.  Williams is our favorite member of the holy Trinity of male celebu-don'ts, the three most over publicized fellows in the news at any given moment, comprosed of David Hasselhoff, Rupert Everett, and singer Robbie Williams. 

George says: "He could use my help; the last album was terrible. He's at that point now where he's just throwing anything out - he needs another 'Angels' or something really classy. That new thing he's got out, it makes Ronan Keating look like a genius."

According to the Independent report, George let cameras roll in his east London flat, which he has decorated with gay art. His quilt is festoond with the names of past sexual conquests including his former long-term love Jon Moss, the drummer of Culture Club. His pillows also detail some of his sexual exploits.

"I like gay sex," he says. He also admits paying for sex and using the internet to trawl for partners. "Straight people have been doing it for years. Prostitution is the oldest, most respected profession. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

The Independent reported that during filming of The Madness of Boy George, he was asked his opinion of Elton John.  "If you're a common-or-garden homosexual then maybe, but not if you're a fag like I am. I'm not an Elton John type of gay. I'm not vanilla."
