- A thousand pardons for not pointing out earlier that in Michael Mann's fancy-shmancy John Dillinger biopic, Public Enemies, J. Edgar Hoover will be played by ... Billy Crudup? Really? Well, as one writer cannily pointed out, "we have seen him cross-dress his ass off in Stage Beauty"...

George O’Dowd, (Boy George's real name), was sentenced to 15 months, guilty of 'gratuitous violence' for having shackled Audun Carlsen (a Norwegian rent boy) to a wall of his flat and lashed him with a chain while shouting insults at him. The judge said the offense was "so serious that only an immediate sentence of imprisonment can be justified." In his defense his barrister (lawyer) argued that a "contributing factor" was his drug addiction and describe George and his victim as "two drug-crazed idiots." O'dowd denied that he brandished a chain but admitted to handcuffing Carlsen to detain him while he tried to determine if Carlsen had tamperd with his computer.
O'Dowd will serve his sentence as a food server, one of the easiest jobs available in the prison and the warden has attempted to hire him extra 'protection' (A source told the Daily Mirror that "prison authorities have persuaded a fellow inmate, a Jamaican called Dread, to look after the once-glamorous star... they are paying this guy with cigarettes and polo mints to protect him"). Boy George has also gained popularity by signing autographs for inmates.
