I guess someone wasn't a Culture Club fan...

With a city-issued broom in his hand, Boy George started his court-ordered community service early Monday, sweeping leaves and trash off the sidewalks of New York. Boy George took to the streets of Manhattan as a Department of Sanitation worker wearing an orange vest, dark capri pants and shoes without socks leaving behind the wild makeup and androgynous style he’s so famous for! It took less than an hour for the former Culture Club frontman to get into a spat with the media. "You think you're better than me?" he yelled. "Go home. Let me do my community service." "This is supposed to be making me humble. Let me do this," he said. "I just want to do my job."

"Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?"

He's just pissed because the judge made him sweep the streets instead of doing the other activities Boy George proposed as community service that were more "in-line with his image as an 80's icon": a fashion and makeup workshop, serving as a DJ at an HIV/AIDS benefit or doing telephone outreach. Poor Boy George -- he's getting some tough love. I guess if you want to call the police, report a false burglary and have cocaine in your lower Manhattan apartment when the police arrive, you better prepared to wake up at 7 a.m. to be issued a shovel, broom, plastic bags and gloves so you can start picking up trash on the street just like non-famous people do when they’re punished for calling police to report false burglaries and having cocaine in their apartments when the police arrive.
