I agree with Sueleen. C'mon, let the man have a personal life. It is totally his business and no one else's what he does in his bedroon or the bushes. Seriously! As far as it being unfair to his partner, it is pretty clear that they have an open relationship, so no harm, no foul. If there were cameras lurking everytime you hooked up, I'm sure there would be unflattering photos as well. Don't fault George for trying to get his groove on. Although his partner in the bushes is not my taste, I'm sure we've all had trysts that left us scratching our heads.

Or scratching, at any rate.

sue, I posted another picture that doesn't seem to be re-touched. It's still quite a shock to see how much he's deteriorated.

oh who cares where he has sex. I'm just shocked at his appearance.

"Deteriorated" is a pretty harsh word, Chita. Yes, he has aged, yes, he looks puffy, but come on. Lets take a picture of you when you first get up in the morning and another when you are all dolled up and ready to go out on the town.
It's not just GM, ALL celebrities are victim of the bad candid photo from time to time. I just think people are being too hard on him.

Perhaps he is dressed appropriately for an evening of what the British call, quaintly, "cottaging."

PJ is that anything like frottaging?

A Cottage Frottage...how veddy British!

He stills looks fine to me. I like George, bless his trolling little heart.

Posted: 7/24/06 at 7:46pm

I know you're right but it's still distressing to see him like that. I guess because whenever I went to the public toilets, the beach, the rest spots or the baths, I always managed to shave and douche.

[PalJoey]

Shave where and douche how?

Posted: 7/24/06 at 11:30pm

now ms. paljoey we'll have none of that sex talk, you've already spurned my advances once. and that's one time too many.

That was you in the Brambles? I thought it was George Michael.

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

Well, if I want free tickets to his concert I know where to get 'em now! Hmmm...where did I put those knee-pads and mesquito netting? Crumpets, anyone?

George's 'wedding is off'
By This is London

George Michael and his American lover Kenny Goss have called off their gay 'wedding' after the pop star was discovered having an illicit encounter with a stranger in a London park.

The couple had been looking forward to an Elton John-style 'wedding' ceremony followed by a lavish party to mark their 10th anniversary.

But plans for the nuptials have been called off after the singer was seen emerging from bushes following a sexual encounter with a pot-bellied, jobless van driver.

'They are reassessing their relationship at the moment so there are no immediate plans. Things are very much up in the air,' a source told the Daily Mail.

Michael admitted he was gay in 1998 after Californian police arrested him for lewd conduct in a public lavatory. He later poked fun at the incident in his song Outside.

Earlier this year the troubled star was charged with cannabis possession after being found slumped at the wheel of his car in Hyde Park.

In a separate incident, he was questioned by police after colliding with three parked cars and driving off without informing their owners.

Last weekend, the News of the World caught the 43-year-old singer returning to his car after an encounter with 58-year-old Norman Kirtland on Hampstead Heath.

Police say they are not planning to investigate as no complaint had been made and the incident was not witnessed by an officer.

The singer has insisted in the past that he and Goss, 48, have an open relationship, saying: 'Gay relationships are a bit different. I'm sure we'll be allowed to roam if we want to. But we love each other dearly.'

Only three months ago Michael told Michael Parkinson that he was to seal his relationship, saying: 'We'll do it on our tenth anniversary, we'll probably do the formal legal thing then the party.'

But the source close to Michael yesterday admitted: 'They do not feel that it is relevant now.'

"I just think people are being too hard on him."

I believe that famous people have a debt to everyone. If celebrities didn't want people pawing through their garbage and saying they're gay, they shouldn't have tried to express themselves creatively. In closing, you people must realize that the public owns you for life! And when you're dead, you'll all be in commercials, dancing with vacuum cleaners.

Star to sue over 'cruising' claim

George Michael says he is to take legal action against a man who claimed he had a gay encounter with the pop star.
Allegations of "cruising" on London's Hampstead Heath were printed in the News of the World, but Michael said he would not sue it or its proprietor.

He also plans to sue photographers for harassment and said he should not have to keep defending his private life, as he had done nothing illegal this year.

He also denied a civil ceremony with his long-term partner was cancelled.

Michael, 43, told BBC News 24: "I'm suing the individual involved who I have never, ever seen, let alone wanted to have any kind of sexual encounter with, and I'm currently investigating suing the secondary sources of libel."

He said those sources had added to "Rupert Murdoch's story" by saying his partner Kenny Goss had called off their civil partnership ceremony but when he had received £1 million he had reconsidered having the event.

"These are things that are not really acceptable," Michael said.

However, he said he was not prepared to sue the News of the World or Mr Murdoch.

"I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about [whether] you want to be destroyed."

He said he was taking legal action against the photographers "because they're harassing me and I should not have to worry about who's watching me at 2.30 in the morning."

He said he was "sick" of coverage of his private life.

"I have done nothing this year against the law, I've done nothing to encourage talk about my sex life.

"The question is not whether I bring it to the public, but it is why do I have to defend it in public because I don't want to talk about it at all"

'Little bit strange'

Regarding Hampstead Heath, he said: "I don't know anybody who actually goes to Hampstead Heath at two o'clock in the morning for anything other than the reason of playing about with another member of the human race.

"If they are there, then they are a little bit strange or they just don't know the local area."

Michael's problems with the law include being cautioned by police in March for possessing cannabis following his arrest in London's West End in February.

He had been found by police asleep at the wheel of his car.

Back in 1998 he was arrested in a public toilet in Los Angeles after attempting to solicit an undercover police officer.

His conviction for lewd conduct resulted in a $450 (£270) fine and 80 hours community service.

Did anyone else think of Kevin Spacey with this remark?

Is that the same park he was in when he was "mugged"?

Yes, it was.

I wonder if KS was with the "pot bellied unemployed van driver" as well?
