George Michael Snogs 58-Year-Old in Bush

Posted by on July 24 at 15:03 PM

Think American tabloid reporters can be cruel and relentless? They don’t hold a candle to the Brits, who filed this story in the Sunday News of the World: George Michael’s Sex Shame!
Apparently, photogs followed the ’80s pop icon to a London park, spied on him while he got nasty with an unemployed, “pot-bellied, 58-year-old” in a bush—and then took pictures and pursued both Michael and his quickie lover to their homes where they continued to harass them. WOW. That is the last time I ever bang somebody in a bush.
Check out the hilarious and sad and gruesome details after the leap!

And his park pal.
OH, HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN!

Here are some select paragraphs from the article. BRRRRRR!!

MEGA-RICH pop superstar George Michael this week sank to new levels of depravity—trawling for illegal gay sex thrills in a London park. News of the World investigators caught the singer red-handed and red-faced as he emerged from the bushes after cavorting with a pot-bellied, 58-year-old, jobless van driver. George is a man with the world at his feet. He's on the brink of a lucrative 50-concert comeback tour, which sold out in half an hour. Yet he ignored all the risks and dangers to pull seedy Norman Kirtland. After the shock of being confronted by us, George stumbled to his flash Mercedes coupe, retrieved his keys from their hiding place on top of the rear wheel and roared off into the night — back to his world of showbiz, celebs and glitz. Meanwhile his new buddy Kirtland crept from the undergrowth looking sheepish and rushed to his Ford Transit van. As he opened the door a grubby, stained mattress was clearly visible in the back. We later tracked him to his home 60 miles away—a squalid flat in Brighton, East Sussex. Looking gross and dishevelled, Kirtland answered the door naked — pulling on grimy shorts as he invited us in. Kirtland's dingy place just off Brighton seafront, was littered with rubbish, dirty crockery and filthy laundry. His only companion is a 20-year-old cat. He told us: "... we just started kissing. He did it very well. That was one of his major points. Then it was fondling and mutual pleasuring. It wasn't full sex but it was fantastic." Kirtland's confession then took a bizarre twist as he bragged: "There's a secret that I have which no one knows about. It's a personal thing. "Most people pull away from it. But George actually seemed to respond. "OK, I admit I was there for sex. But I'm astonished a man as famous as George should even think about doing it. It's potentially so dangerous." When confronted by our team, a shaken George desperately tried to justify his sordid secret quest for cheap, risky thrills. In a sweat, the ashen-faced singer declared: "Are you gay? No? Then f*** off! This is my culture!" "I'm a free man, I can do whatever I want. I'm not harming anyone."

Who's George Michael? Is he some relative of George Bush and Michael Jackson?

George Michael looks disturbingly like George Best these days. I hope his liver is OK.

Goddamn Brit tabloids ought to make each and every one of us glad to be Amurricuns for once.

I can still recall when all sorts of women used to want to have shag with George Michael. It really does seem that, if he wanted to have sex with another man, he could've at least found some guy who was half-decent looking. But ultimately, none of that matters, save to him and his close friends. The man is right about that much. But as for the important stuff - the music, such as it was - George Michael was always just another crappy "pop" singer whose "Wake me up before you go-go" is one of those tunes that is so bloody awful, it doesn't even get played on radio stations these days, when they do "Ancient 80s" weekends. The part of this news item which is hard to believe is that he has sold out 50 concerts, in advance. Most people I know, wouldn't go see this has-been who never was, unless they were paid perhaps a hun ($100); and maybe some, not even then. Come to think of it, maybe that's why he was getting it on with a 58 year old poof: no one else would have him.

Terry, you're not really British, are you? Cheerio!!

When was The Stranger purchased by Murdoch?

Well George is, what, 62? Cradle robber.

Not likely a Brit if he uses expressions like "have shag with".

GM had his moments, some epic soft-pop classics. Next Christmas have another listen at "Last Christmas" ("Last Christmas, I gave you my heart; but the very next day, you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone SPESH-ULL"). Good stuff. Apparently "someone special" means "an old guy in the bushes" but what of it?

He can bonk anyone he wants to who's consenting, as far as I'm concerned - just like everyone else. Why on earth is anyone concerned who this man is having sex with? Leave him the hell alone.

What happens in the bedroom is no one's business, what happens in the bush is between you and your doctor. *twitch*

George Michael said Cliff Richard was vile and vulgar(Cliff never has been vile or vulgar)But it seems to me George is the one who is vile and vulgar.
