Sure looks like he needed a restroom
You can't turn your back on George Michael for a minute, can you?
George today issued the usual public apology after his arrest (again) in a public bathroom (again) for possession of drugs (AGAIN).
"I want to apologise to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I'll sort myself out," he said in a statement. "And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them."
We're not bored, George. But we'll be horrified if you did this latest stunt to drum up publicity for any upcoming appearances on TV's Eli Stone.
In the meantime, please feel free to add your suggested caption to today's George Michael photo.

Do you think that they will now put a criminal activity stall in public restrooms? I mean they could put a special sign on the outside like a crackpipe, syringe or a pair or tap shoes.

Steve - As soon as I saw the posting on Yahoo News about this, I wondered how long it would take before you blogged it.
Will Georgy ever learn?

This just in from the George Michael camp:
"While Mr. Michael sincerely regrets any consternation he has caused fans and law enforcement officals, it should now be clear that he is the undisputed king of public restroom spectacles. Pretenders to the throne like Sen Larry Craig would be mindful to note Mr. Michael's long history of lavatory lawlessness, and the vast diversity in his body of work.
Having restablished his brand, Mr. Michael is now examining exciting opportunities to export his unique mix of anonymous sex and recreational drug use to broom closets, elevators and all forms of public transportation."

This guy has finally made a comeback, courtesy of "Eli Stone" and he's blowing it again. I like that show alot. I couldn't figure out why they picked GM at first for the motivating spirit in Eli's life. He seemed really obscure. But he grew on me, sort of. Oh well, addictions are hard to overcome. So are compulsions.
