Rants and raves from around the celebrosphere

OK, George Michael, this is now crossing into behavior that is just ridiculous.

The pop singer was arrested yet again September 19 for possession of drugs. The singer of “Monkey” and “I Want Your Sex” was cautioned by police after he was found (in a public toilet, of course) with crack cocaine and cannabis on his person.

This is just the latest brush with the law for Michael, usually involving either drugs or sex (or both). After his most famous arrest in 1998 for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in a park restroom, he was found slumped over in his car in 2006 after weaving all over the road like Lindsey Lohan running from photographers. Later that same year, he was found again slumped over in his car and this time admitted to driving while on drugs.

This time, he lost his license and got a lecture.

Now, it seems that either the singer is getting caught on purpose for publicity, or he is just incredibly stupid. You would think he would have learned to stay out of park toilets and crack houses by now. You’re rich and famous, George, can’t you hire “people” to do your drug running for you?

“In a strange way, I’ve spent the last 15 to 20 years trying to derail my own career, but it never seems to suffer,” Michael said. “I suffer like crazy. I’ve suffered bereavements and public humiliations, but my career always seems to right itself like a plastic duck in the bath.”

That may be the drugs talking. Your career doesn’t seem so hot right now, George, since your last #1 hit in the U.S. was in 1991, and your latest greatest hits collection is your poorest selling album of all in Britain.

Our advice to you…you could do a lot worse than a stint (or two) in rehab. Think of the publicity; you can get clean, go on talk shows and break out into tears over your ordeal, write new songs and put out a “sober living” album, speak out publicly against other celebrities who are in the grips of addiction, open your own rehabilitation center, make millions of dollars, and retire with Robert Downey Jr. in the Caribbean.

Or, you can smoke a bunch of crack and cruise parks for sex. Yeah, we can see the “tough choice” dilemma here.
