Boy George is going to jail for having some fun with a male escort.


Just for having a bit of fun, handcuffing and whipping
with a metal chain can send you to jail, as in Boy George's case: 15 months of jail time.
I wonder if they will keep him in jail for that time of period.
Remember that male and female escorts have rights too!

Happy Birthday Kate Moss and Sade.


Kate turns 35 years old.


Sade turns 50 years old.
I can't believe Sade is 50 years old.
