Here's a lovely pink font just for you 'boy', or should I just call you 'George'?...
NEW YORK - Boy George was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs and making a fake police report after calling 911 early Friday, police said.
The British singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, claimed his home had been burglarized around 3 a.m. Friday, said Detective Kevin Czartoryski, a police spokesman.
Officers arrived at O'Dowd's Manhattan apartment and discovered a small amount of cocaine next to a computer, police said. Police were continuing to investigate. Barbara Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's office, said O'Dowd was still in police custody and was awaiting arraigment Friday evening. He was yet to be charged.
It is not the first time Boy George has had problems with drugs. In 1986, the singer was convicted for heroin possession in England. Two of his friends overdosed in the incident and O'Dowd was forced into a rehabilitation program. The conviction led to the disintegration of his group, Culture Club, one year later.
