Boy George (who?) beats it from Turkey
2003-06-01
British pop star Boy George abruptly cut short a visit to Turkey and left the country about 30 minutes after arriving there, deterred by media interest, local newspapers reported yesterday. He was due to give three concerts at a large discotheque in Bodrum, in southeast Turkey, and had said he did not want to be filmed or photographed on his arrival at Istanbul airport, Milliyet said. But once through immigration formalities he was confronted by photographers and had to hide his face behind a copy of the magazine Gay.
What else?
He made immediately for the British Airways counter and bought a ticket home, said Hurriyet. Shortly afterwards he left Istanbul aboard the aircraft on which he had arrived, rather to the surprise of the officials who had just seen him land.
"Who was that masked, uhhh... man?"
The "news" in this item is that he's still around. Who'da thunkit?

#3  They can do as they please, as long as I'm not required to join in. But that guy's strange. I'd think twice before leaving him alone with my house plants...

#2  Knowing a significant number of "gay" persons( my wife works for an "alternate lifestyle" individual )I personally don't care what they do or do not do in their private lives. But I do object to the fact that they can just as bigoted amongst themselves about straights and bigoted across the gender gap as any redneck. Kinda like "black people can't be racist"


Maybe Goerge heard the one about Turkish men buying xl condoms and he wasz looking for a thrill

#1  Doing 3 shows in a Turkish Discotheque? Does that qualify as a professional career any more? What a surprise about the magazine. I read yesterday that, in advance of a autobiography book tour, Richard Chamberlain came out of the closet too. Now there's a surprise (/sarcasm off)
