His Boy George a suitable replacement taking into consideration his dubious past record, and I am not talking about his music.

/// In 2009 he was sentenced to 15 months in jail for falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain. In 2006 he was sentenced to community service in New York after cocaine was found in his Manhattan apartment. ///

Jordy both you and I grew up through a time when stars of stage and screen were up to all sorts of things , some got caught some didn't.

Then came sex n drugs n rock n roll - it was never the halcyon days you think it was.

[ummmm]

Grown adult, Jordy, grown adult!

He got 15 months so I doubt the beating was that severe.

[Mamyalynne]

Neither my children nor now my grandchildren are brought up to see TV presenters as role models - we (the adults in their life) are.

\\\\ some got caught some didn't. \\\\

True, but those that got caught didn't suddenly appear on "Sunday Night at the London Palladium".

Jordan why do you wear your various phobias on your sleeve like a badge of honour?

[Mamyalynne]

They may well not have done Sqad - I have no intention of trawling through the life stories of each and every presenter of such shows.

[ummmm]

Sqad...as someone mentioned earlier Leslie Grantham (dirty Den) served 10 years for murder and ended up in one of the most popular soaps on TV.

[Sqad]

Well there you go....^^^^

[EcclesCake]

Yes, I do think you take pride in your views and flaunt them in a deliberately inflammatory manner for your own amusement.

/// but to answer your question, AOG,...I fail to see what Boy George's sex life has to do with his musical knowledge. ///

Will you feel the same about Rolf Harris when he is finally released from prison?

[Maydup]

I was amused by the typo under the photograph that she and he are going to appear on the Signing programme!

[Prudie]

Well if he wasn't gay this thread would have fizzled after a dozen answers.

[LochNessMonster]

From picking up rubbish to being paid a fortune to appear in rubbish ?

[pastafreak]

If we have to consider the sex lives of celebrities...most of them would not be up to the "standards" of some ABers.
And aog seems to be equating homosexuality(boy George) with paedophilia(Rolf Harris). He still doesn't see the difference.

[Retrochic]

oh here we go.............

[anotheoldgit]

Amazing how many on here are prepared to support such a criminally sexual deviant.

Would they have been so tolerant if he had happened to be straight?
