"I'm Your Man!" George Michael Busted Again

George Michael was woken up, only to go-go directly to jail over the weekend. The 42-year-old singer was arrested in central London Saturday night on suspicion of drug possession after police discovered him slumped over the steering wheel of a car.

A passing motorist noticed the singer's condition and called officials to the scene. Paramedics examined Michael but determined that he did not need medical attention.

Michael was detained for about seven hours before being bailed to return to a police station next month pending police investigation. If convicted of possessing Class C drugs, a category that includes cannabis, tranquilizers and some painkillers, the singer could face up to two years in prison (he might enjoy that) and an unlimited fine under British law.

It's not Michael's first run-in with the law. In 1998, he was arrested in a Beverly Hills park after engaging in "lewd gay behavior" in front of a plainclothes policeman in a public restroom. Following the incident, Michael revealed that he was gay - which was a surprised absolutely no one!

Barely 10 days earlier had announced that he was "saying farewell to the world of pop music" (he can't just say he's retiring?). Of course since no one noticed he's using a working on a documentary about his life to put the record "straight" first.

I guess he felt an arrest would be just the publicity stunt that was needed so people could notice that he was retiring.
