Celebrity Alert

If music be the food of love, then Boy George doesn't look like he's getting much of either. Where's the rainbow-hued man/woman/not quite sure of my childhood, who trilled Karma Chameleon while parents across the nation tried to dodge questions like "what IS he" and muttered comments about "unsuitable for Top of the Pops"?


Even when the dreadlocks were gone, he still took care with his appearance, wearing make-up I would just die for now, and a succession of hats, tilted coquettishly over one purple shaded eye.


It's OK to get a bit lardy as you approach middle age, but it is inexcusable to throw fashion to one side. Even if you have to do community service in New York in dreary overalls, you could at least have brightened them up with accessories. Like a beret, or even a splash of red lippie. Shame on you, George. Note to all little children: not only do drugs ruin your life, they also ruin your style.
