Boy George's sympathy for George Michael

Gay star Boy George knows a thing or two about drugs, and he has spoken out after fellow celeb George Michael was arrested and cautioned last week for possession of crack cocaine and cannabis.

"I'm sober now. I don't drink or take drugs, it's chaotic and miserable," he said on ITV1's  The Alan Titchmarsh Show.

"I do sympathise with George. You need perspective and the only way to do that is to get away from your drug problems and get yourself clean."

Boy George has also had his brushes with the law.

In 2006 he completed five days of community service in New York after being convicted of false reporting of an incident.

He claimed he had been robbed, but when police arrived to investigate they found a large quantity of cocaine in his flat.

Kevin Spacey's turn at Lambeth Town Hall

This piece of cheeky news is from scandalous website Popbitch:

"Confusion in Lambeth Town Hall council chamber last night as Kevin Spacey walked into the proceedings of the licensing committee.

"The three items under consideration at that particular session were applications for drinking licenses from a notorious Stockwell crackhouse, a gay sauna in Waterloo and a bar on the premises of The Old Vic.

"Attendees were on the edge of their seats as they waited to find out which application he would be supporting."

(FYI: It was for The Old Vic, obviously!)

Gays mourn as Sarkozy marries his girl

The dashing son of the President of France has married his childhood sweetheart.

Jean Sarkozy, 22, second son of the President, exchanged vows at his local town hall with Jessica Sebaoun, 20.

He was elected as a regional councillor in the city of Neuilly-sur-Seine (think Chelsea) earlier this year and as you can see from the pic below is keen on small animals such as ferrets.

Spiderman hunk nearly slept over with Madonna's ex

Cuteness personified, aka James Franco, has been telling The Guardian about his preparation for his role as a gay in upcoming movie Milk.

He plays opposite Sean Penn, and yeh they make out and Franco found kissing a guy weird.

"Sean and I did talk about spending the night together on the set where we did the apartment scenes, but it never happened."

Franco said he is very pleased with how the film turned out, and also shared an interesting insight into how he prepares for roles.

"He hung out with a real-life hustler for Sonny, even sitting in on - but not, he insists, participating in - a cocaine-doused threesome in a New Orleans hotel room."

Cripes.

He loves big sweaty men .. but he ain't gay

A blog run by meatheads into fighting has annoyed us.

It seems the emotionally challenged people over at Fightlinker (bless) have taken to calling people 'gay' for all the wrong reasons.

Earning title shots off virgins is gay apparently.

What WE thought was even more gay was the amount of male flesh on show on the site ....

What are they about to do?

Anyway, it seems in Fightlinker world lots of things are gay ....

Fancy finger work on show at geek chic gathering

Some of the world’s top Rubik’s Cube-sters will be showing off their moves later this month in Spain.

The third official European Rubik’s Cube Championships has a kind of geek chic vibe to it, don’t you think?

And it is in the lovely city of Bilbao. What’s not to like?

The Cube itself is undergoing something of a Renaissance, with more than 12 million sold last year alone.

It is not known how many of that impressive figure have ever been solved - our PinkNews.co.uk estimate is less than 100.

Apparently "many major UK retailers have already forecasted it to be one of their top sellers for Christmas 2008," though that nugget does come from the PR people for the RC Championships. 

Happily for them more than 130 Speedcubers, from 17 different countries, have registered for the event.

PinkNews.co.uk top tip for the old Rubik’s Cube - peel off the stickers. Always worked for us!

Amy Winehouse becomes a bear

The people who brought us Bad Taste Bears are going back to black this November with the release of its Amy bear.   

John Wright, managing director of The BT Bears Company, said:

"Amy will be joining a number of other musical tributes in our range, which are all designed to raise a cheeky smile.

"She has thick eyeliner and a tall beehive, pinned back with a syringe and cigarette, while showing off a suggestive 'Coke' tattoo and singing into a microphone."

The troubled singer has barely been out of the headlines all year, and her bear incarnation is sure to excite gays, who as you know love that sort of thing.
