Boy George talks about his new album, his time in prison and a possible Culture Club reunion on GMTV

[EveDonovan]

AMEN!!!

[NalaStash]

at least growing up in the 80's, we didn't have to put up with this reality show bull shit that you have now.

[brettterence]

Rappist!!

[WandaLousideBaton]

80 GRAND !! YOU GO BOY :)

[brettterence]

Fat ugly rapist!

[GraceMcKagan]

He looks so great compared to what he was before being sent to jail. He's 50 (same age as my Mom :D) and looks that good. Just wait till those fuckers who said that Georgie is "fat, ugly, bla bla bla" turn 50 and let em look at themselves.

And his make up is as good as ever. Of course I think his best make up was in Mistake no.3 but that was like almost 30 years ago. This make up suited him completely <3.

And I bet if I ever steal one of those hat of his he wouldn't know. He has so many of em

[GraceMcKagan]

in many colour too, green, pink, yellow, white, black,.... I would love to have one of those xD

[whysoserious89]

@GraceMcKagan How about red, green, and gold?

[nuwavegurl]

Still has that amazing smile and personality. Weight can be lost, but style, substance is timeless. Love ya, Boy!

[nuwavegurl]

I'm so tired of reading comments about how big and/or ugly he is. Who in the hell looks the same after 30 years? NO ONE! Remember, in a few years Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers and Katy Perry won't look the same either. They barely look that hot now, not to mention sound all that good!

[annahudson76]

@nuwavegurl so true!

[TheDorr71]

@nuwavegurl You have this right-the singers of today are BARELY passable.George has that unique voice

[AztlanOz]

gawd he looks like Divine now...lol

[curvy71]

i have always been a boy George fan

[insomniac5150]

Who cares if he's fat? Its cos he's given up the drugs and taken to kit Kats instead, that's what you do.

[jarrodmon]

And you don't judge others either, casting the first stone. Which is nice.

[RayL1983]

I was 20 kilograms overweight this time last year. Now I am only three kilos over my ideal weight. It really isn't that hard to lose weight, George. Sorry to be critical but it is so good to get rid of the excess kilos. I feel a little sorry for George being in that state. He's become a tragic replacement for Quentin Crisp.

[verkstadsgatan]

Ah George, how can I not love you...

Done it since the 80s, and i continue with pleasure!

[Krazygirl0313]

I'm with you on that one I'm only 14 sounds really really weird, my mom was listing to him and I fell in live with him and his song karma chameleon, and time( clock of the heart) he is amazing!!!!!!!-3

[lemonnis]

an egocentric rich and famous junkie who used his homosexuality to make a fortune..small talent and small soul

[Jo11ee]

@lemonnis seems you are the one with the small soul. How sad.

[lemonnis]

@Jo11ee

at least i am not egocentric and i do not torture my lovers and i try to get over my problems with other ways than swallowing all the drugs i can get

[dazzledvampireWWE]

I know Im kinda late but I am 23 and just started listening to him omg I LOVE HIM!! and he looks amazing! and score I got a tweet from him not too long ago :)!

[yamchaken05]

I got his new album. ITS SOOOOO AWESOME!

[mlodyusa]

in my opinion, he doesnt know how to sing anymore!

[ubrilliant1]

I hope I get to see him in concert in 2011! He's awesome STILL!

[losthopeist]

he´s fat...?!!!

[rurisone]

Who's fault is iit that he can't get into the States ?

[yellow2000fluff]

I wanna stick my tongue up his arse! I want My tongue to live up his arse forever, my tongue in luv with boy george's arse!

[GabbyEliO]

My mum knows George :) I have a picture from yonks ago (im 21 now) and I'm about 3, and George is holding me :D she also has one of his Phillip Treacy hats. we saw him not so long ago, he's a lovely person, very funny and generous, cannot wait for culture club reunion :D go George!

[handman524]

LET HIM BACK IN THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yerblues1968]

I hope he and his Culture Club band reunite and perform at the Coachella Music and Music Festival in Coachella, CA in April 2011 or 2012. It would be a great way to debut to the world. Paul McCartney came there in 2009 and drew a massive crowd as well as Dhani Harrison with thenewno2 the day after. It is usually an all day, 3 day event (Friday to Sunday) with several bands/artists .

[carryou64]

I think he's wrong on one part. Not everyone can just "bounce back"

Boy George has gone through so much (and we only know a fraction of it) and he still has the greatest personality ever and also has matured and grown.

You have to remember that he's surrounded by so many people that do drugs and stuff and so he has to be really strong and resist that bad stuff.

I'm praying for him to stay like he is now

-3

[MsSmartiepants2]

@carryou64 I agree with you. A lot of people can't bounce back because they don't have all the privileges and career opportunities and fans that George has. Everyone goes through a lot. Many people have had it a lot tougher than George has.

[0154ms]

I think he has a great voice. 

[vballfan33MT]

Boy George is AMAZING!! He will always be one of the best artists ever!!

[seymourbbest]

Talented and smart with an awesome voice but he pissed it away with drugs like so many do. Back in the early 80s culture club was as big as justin bieber is today. Heads up justin- your 15 minutes are ticking away.

[spillandambience]

he is so beautiful, noone on earth has a face or a heart as beautiful as he. id give anything to go for a pint with him!! and tell him so!!

[RABBITZZZ666]

LOVE GEORGE i GET MY MAKE UP INSPIRED BY HIM2

[DraPatriciaMello]

His accent is strong and typical from England....

[gabriel1812]

his younger self reminds me of Android 17, from Dragonball Z

[Trannyfucker]

the half hour update is things from here and the Lorianne interview of Amazing Grace, plus his tour of the Uk

[dance4life1987]

George is GAY

[FundedByTheMob]

@dance4life1987 yeah right, and pigs could fly. he single handedly fucked the most women in britain, a record previously held by wilt chamberlein.

[tchado1]

@dance4life1987 AND?

[bjarneboy]

@dance4life1987 SO WHAT????

[flaswampthing]

he so funky looking

[SuperVrum]

GEORGE IS A GENIUS, PERIOD!

[MsSmartiepants2]

@SuperVrum How is he a genius? He doesn't play an instrument. He just writes the lyrics to his songs, not the actual music. I guess he is a genius at publicity and PR. Anyone else would be judged for doing such a violent crime, but everyone thinks he's a great guy despite the awful thing he did. And he has gotten off without answering a single question about it.

[0154ms]

@MsSmartiepants2 He is a great singer. People make mistakes HE IS HUMAN! So now he is making his life better. people live and learn from their mistakes.

[Jeefeelings]

He's the same

[FuckingScreamout]

i'm so sorry he is sooooooooo FAT

[jonilimjw]

@FuckingScreamout Just because he's fat now doesn't mean you have to hate him.. His music right now is still as great as ever. You can't judge him by how he look now.

[jandroep3]

@FuckingScreamout , Fuck the man is 50 or somewhat he has the right to be fat, ugly, rich, poor, that does not mean he is not good in his singing, in the 80's he was the bomb although of his sexual orientation, he was in his way a symbol and a celebrity.

[Tumboltahum]

Its about time this culture disappeared 

[shakira3443]

George please come back to America,and to Chicago...we miss ya........

[MsNiteshadow]

@shakira3443 deja vu I wrote exactly the same thing.... except you forgot the fact to tell George how much we love him.

[MsNiteshadow]

Respond to this video...

as always George you talk people listen. Chicago wait you, I wait and love you. 

[earlorr69]

hes great been his fan for 30 years

[MrNonoz]

Jeeezuuus

Lose the weight, get some plastic surgery and get a wig

[HeavyVerbzz]

GAYYYYYYYYYY

[Barbaraplease]

@HeavyVerbzz reeeaally?

[HeavyVerbzz]

@Barbaraplease

yes manly gaga ......u got a problem

[Barbaraplease]

@HeavyVerbzz loser.

[mysticdark99]

He looks better now I still love him I want to date him.

[ursodocduro]

VERY GOOD ARTIST - WHO CARES ABOUT FAT,

[MissSandAndWater]

who cares if he looks fat? I think he doesn't and even if he did, it wouldn't make him less talented.

[Puttz93]

why don't we do something constructive and pick on fat bastard politicians instead of famous musicians who actually have a purpose on this earth...lol

[Romulan112]

He looks fat ,,,,, been putting on some weight there.. he should of done some major exercising prior to meeting the public

[Romulan112]

He looks fat 

[Iceblooo]

Lorraine Kelly is always so nice and genuine.

[mysticdark99]

he's still handsome i'd marry him!

[TheMoonwalkgurl]

@mysticdark99 Nope, I'm gonna be his wife if he gets married. George is my future hubby!



[MsSmartiepants2]

@TheMoonwalkgurl When you marry George, make sure to name your two kids Jon Moss and Madonna! Your two kids will terrorize and torment you both just like George has terrorized Jon and Madonna!

[icanmyshoetie]

damn he really put on the pounds

[thumper7396]

It's great seeing George again. Good luck and may God bless you in whatever you decide to do in life. Hey we all make mistakes in life and then hopefully we learn from them and move on.

[davetastic32]

why yall hatin

[brettterence]

fat, ugly, silly looking (what's new) and a Z list loser!!

[MrsHRathbone]

he's gone fat

[clebraity]

wow he has put wait on....

[bbloodyangel1]

@clebraity wow you need to learn how to speak english if you're going to criticize someone.

[clebraity]

@bbloodyangel1 im not good at spelling lol :)

[bbloodyangel1]

@clebraity You spelled it correctly though lol, you just used the wrong word bb. <3

[quasim0do]

@clebraity Yeah, but he's actually losing weight again.

[123456789jklmn]

Boy George is so optimistic.....Fabulous interview.

Thanks for sharing

[natrufus]

love u george only live a few min from were u grew up come and have a cuppa

[laoi]

I do hope he comes to Los Angeles with Culture Club for the 30th anniversary! I went to go see them in 1998 and again in 1999 in Los Angeles, it was amazing!

[Camilo21986]

"every country worth mentioning" what a racist.

[challesboy]

I really look forward to see him this saturday in Esbjerg DK. It´s a BIG thing for me to get a chance to see and hear one of the greatest performers from my youth... 80´s forever!!

[deadporko]

vieja chota ctm

[111laurah]

neversawthisbefore

[BuckeyeSecretary]

I prefer the red hat ladies myself.

[himenokori]

George always cheers me up too. I don't know what the commenter who shall remain nameless is talking about. I am a long time fan and the only time George has ever let me down is when he abuses his beautiful body with drugs. Anything he says about Jon, I can not doubt he deserves, he was violent during their relationship together. If I were with someone so beautiful the last thing I would do is punch him, And I mean innner as well as outer beauty

[fiona333]

And if he does it, I hope he does it the right way and tributes the whole band. Not like the 20th anniversary train wreck where it wasn't even about the band, but all about Taboo and Leigh Bowery. What he said about Jon and Roy in his book Straight was so disgusting. George should be ashamed.

[fiona333]

Well, maybe the reason I'm negative is George has spent years and years bashing Jon and Roy in the media and saying they have no talent and also all of the old CC songs whereas they never said anything bad about him. I just hope he has learned to appreciate the band. I wish he would stop hurting them. He's never tried to do his best by Jon and Roy and CC.

[Trannyfucker]

fab vid G back to is best.xx

[poppylights]

She is such an adorable woman. And I love the new, laid-back George. Bless both of them!

[tumble4m3]

oh yes, George cheers me up too! :D Love that green on you George, it's your color!

[eve16051]

George. I love you, seeing you means so much to me and I hate ppl who try to insult you which hurts xxx

[MrWilum]

I love how utterly delighted she is to see how -- "It's always a joy to see you!"  He is delightful, and is now being so positive and productive. How awesome if, by some miracle, we have a new CULTURE CLUB album next year! I know it's unlikely, but a girl can dream.....

[fiona333]

George never said he would do a new CC album or tour. He said he might do one show. Don't get your hopes up. George will disappoint all the CC fans like he always does.

And anyway the anniversary isn't until 2012, not 2011. George doesn't even know when the band started. That's how much he cares about CC.

[sydproductionsmusic]

@fiona333 - Actually, George is right about his own band's conception and first single. In 1981 both the band was formed and Do You Really Want To Hurt Me was released. The single did not chart in the UK or US until 1982. There are so many factors that go into reuniting a band. I'm sure he'll do his best to create something. Your negativity is a little unfounded and unnecessary.

[fiona333]

George never said he make another CC album. He just said he might do one gig. The 30th anniversary is 2012. George cares so little about CC he doesn't even know when the anniversary is. He won't do anything. He will just let all the CC fans down like he always does.

[POISENMIND2]

@uglytrannystopnow Oh sorry! lol! i didn't realise 'YAWN' was 'your' word. Well at least you can spell it. You obviously can't spell 'stealing'. lol!

[POISENMIND2]

@uglytrannystopnow YAWN.

[POISENMIND2]

@uglytrannystopnow ....Nice to know I touched a nerve. Now go and get an education - you might learn how to string a sentence together without relying on swearing and resorting to childish, stroppy little insults. Then again, maybe not.

OK that's me done. I've wasted enough time on you, you are boring me now.

[SweetDreams1430]

@uglytrannystopnow

go to hell.

[SweetDreams1430]

@uglytrannystopnow

can you write one single clean word, you need to wash your dirty tongue with tide soap. it's obvious to see that you like to argue a lot, you just can't get enough of arguing, because you have nothing to offer except a dirty tongue and a jealous heat full of hatred, you got my sympathy you need to see a doctor or psychologist to cure your diseases. your poor sick guy.

[SweetDreams1430]

@uglytrannystopnow

why are you so jealous of him, like he was your enemy or something? just leave him alone and have a decent life. do you call insulting people with bad words freedom?!!, even freedom has a limit.

[SweetDreams1430]

@uglytrannystopnow

go bark somewhere else, ugly dog.

[SweetDreams1430]

@uglytrannystopnow

And yes he was in prison so what, one day you might go to, then there will be another person who makes fun of you.

I hate people like you useless they have nothing to do, just criticizing successful people trying to make them look bad. Go and do something useful in your life, loser.

[SweetDreams1430]

@uglytrannystopnow

what do you want stupid filthy animal, If you don't like boy George just get lost and find someone who you like, there are millions of artists in YouTube, who do you think your self criticizing George for his clothes? a professional designer? Are you Valentino or something, Im sure you were the same underwear for one month and without washing it.

[POISENMIND2]

Judging by the ugly comments "uglytrannystopnow" left behind - it's already apparent you are ugly on the inside. And no avatar photo either.....obviously ugly on the outside too!

[MrWilum]

Of course, I don't know you, so my response was me being pissy -- but you are focused on ugliness and negativity, when there is so much more to see. You're not looking deeper when you're blinded to the good, This reflects a tainted viewpoint. But then, I'm an ugly tranny, so perhaps my viewpoint is also tainted & skewed.

[MrWilum]

There is nothing "common" about George and he has never been boring. He is certainly not "over," since his new song has been quite successful on the Billboard dance chart. The ugly words from morons such as uglytrannystopnow reveal ignorance and an ugly soul. But such clueless yobs don't have any importance in the real world, the world of creative genius, the world of Boy George.

[MrWilum]

He looks happy and healthy. His hats are wonderful. We have lots and lots of fab music to look forward to!

[hassleandhurrylife19]

That's your opinion.. if that's what you think about boy george then so be it but you need to respect other people especially the one who adore him...

[AaronHinson09]

where does boy george get his hats

[POISENMIND2]

Great interview! This is getting to be just like the good old days again. George on TV most days, looking great! - FAB!! Really looking foward to the new album & the upcoming tours - the Culture Club thing will be really exciting too!!!! The Mark Ronson thing should be really good and I hope the Lady Gaga duet happens as well!! It's nice to hear an interviewer concentrating on the music too - but then Lorraine Kelly has always been so lovely anyway.

(George is on the Alan Carr show tonight !!)

[xXmaddizzenXx]

Wonderful <333333

[PureBloodHoneyBoy]

Great interview! It makes me so happy to see George happy. : ) Love him so much!!!

[karenjd55]

Does anyone know the name of the backing singer in this video? Tahnx

[fiona333]

Boring. same suit, same comments. The song will flop and I will be happy. George is the one who treats everyone else badly but everyone is nice to him.

[bjarneboy]

@fiona333 Bitterness is like consuming poison and expecting someone else to die!

[hassleandhurrylife19]

are you one of them...., you been bitter to boy george almost all of his videos you always have something to say bad to him...

[CharlieInPDX]

Wonderful!

[ExoticCreature69]

Very nice!

[rubyredlude]

it is always great to see george , i have friends who are not fans as such of his music but they all think he is a lovely guy and enjoy seeing his interviews on the tv.. i am trying to convert them onto his music ... i will always love george, he has been part of my life from the age of 10 , his music has been a huge part of my life.. keep twittering george.. love all your ideas for food.. xxxxx

[tisjoje]

what a lovely interviewer she was so respectful and naturally BG was wonderful xx

[andreaalfleahlouie]

another enjoyable interview, George you are amazing lovely to see you so happy

[andreaalfleahlouie]

Another enjoyable interview, thanks George you are amazing

[COBYKOEHL2]

what a pleasure to watch.

[stchristopher28]

this was a very great interview.

[mm6imp]

he is an amazing singer, cant take that away from him.

[SweetDreams1430]

well done George, you look amazing. great interview. I wish you do some new materials with culture club.

[francom]

fantastic!

[BUweB]

Love it. Boy George is so georgeous

[JessicaWonka]

@ BUweB

OMG You mean I'm not the only one who uses the word 'Georgeous'?! *cheers* *hugs you*

[BUweB]

@JessicaW

ha ha - yes by incident as I m not a native english/american Speaker ;-) But it fits perfectly.....

I m happy that Boy George is back with a lot of support and hopefully success again.

[JessicaWonka]

@BUweB

Absolutely! How fantastic would it be for Amazing Grace and his new album to be a success? I hope the best for him, some of the greatest people get the worst treatment.

[BUweB]

@JessicaWonka

I bought the 7 Track CD Single just yesterday from a UK Shop. We can only support him. I think he s an amazing Singer and Songwriter. And I hope he is more concentrating on this again. The Fashion line B-Rude was/is great, but I like someone as Boy George (Madonna too!!!) to stay at their Music FIRST.

Madonna is doing another Movie - arrrghhhh - about an English Royal who married a common british woman and was punished for it.

[JessicaWonka]

@BUweB

On the subject of music coming before other things for musicians, I think it's becoming a bit cliche for that to happen, unfortunately. People never want to just listen to music or remember that a person has a wonderful voice. The only thing they can remember is what pants they're wearing, what's in their pants, and, most important, who's in their bed.

[BUweB]

@JessicaWonka = agreed...!!
