Singer Boy George won’t be going to jail. But the former Culture Club front, er, man got a scolding from a New York judge Monday for not complying with the terms of his sentence on a drug charge.
“I’m not going to give you another chance,” Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Anthony Ferrara warned the singer, who didn’t do the community service required by his plea deal for his conditional discharge.
In March, Boy George, whose real name is George O’Dowd, pleaded guilty to third-degree false reporting of an incident. The charge followed his false report of a burglary at his Lower Manhattan apartment, where police said they found cocaine.
Under his plea deal, O’Dowd was to enter a drug program in England and do five days of community service in Manhattan. He was also supposed to pay a $1,000 fine and a $160 surcharge.
But O’Dowd, 45, didn’t do the community service.
“You have to do the community service,” Ferrara told O’Dowd on Monday. “It’s up to you whether you make it an exercise in humiliation or in humility.”
The judge gave O’Dowd until Aug. 28 to complete the community service.
Somehow, O’Dowd resisted the obvious urge to perform a karaoke rendition of “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” in open court.
Honeymoon for Kidman, Urban
Paparazzi magnets Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban jetted out of Sydney Monday, likely bound for a secluded honeymoon getaway on the golden sands of the South Pacific.
Kidman has said she and Urban will set up home in Nashville when they return to the United States.
The newlyweds kept a low profile Monday, emerging only to have lunch with family at a luxury waterfront
hotel.
Kidman and Urban have been tight-lipped about their immediate post-wedding plans. Local media have said Fiji or Tahiti were the most likely destinations.
Several reports have suggested the pair has spent up to $183,000 to hire out Fiji’s exclusive Wakaya Club Resort for a week.
