More pathetic: Boy George or Madonna?
The '80s world is starting to consume itself. Next thing you know we'll all be dancing to the Spin Doctors again and watching reruns of Party of Five.
Decide for yourself which of today's story is more pathetic:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Christie's auction house says a 30-year-old nude photo of Madonna, which earned her a $25 modeling fee, is expected to sell for at least $10,000.
LONDON (AP) -- Singer Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in jail on Friday after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall in a London apartment.
For some reason, I'm leaning toward the Madonna story. I mean, $10,000? To see Madonna naked? That's what Google Images is for!
Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:
Madonna -the biggest narcissist and knock-off humanity ever saw - all smoke and mirrors, shifting perosnalities and and endless need for attention and narcissistic supply....

I wouldn't pay 10 cents to look at Madonna nude. Do you think BG would get scared straight in Prison? Good call Jeff in Cuba.

Check out this month's Interview magazine. Good interview with BG.

Who in their right mind would pay $10,000 for a naked photo of Madonna.
We've all by now have already seen her naked for free.

I'll tell what's pathetic...
...being unable to escape from Boy George. Was the escort in a wheelchair?

I don't know Spearsy, Alex Rodriguez paid a heck of a lot more considering he makes 25 mil/year and his wife left him when he started to run around with Madonna.

I feel bad for Boy George.Going to jail for handcuffing a dude to a wall.That`s just not right.Isn`t that why people go to his place?
You`re right about the Madonna photo.It`s the easiest thing in the World to find Madonna nude photos.Not that i ever did thow! ;-)
