"bringing structure" to his life. The former Culture Club singer, real name George O'Dowd, was given the sentence by a New York City judge after being found guilty of wasting police time when he falsely reported a burglary at his Manhattan apartment in October 2005. Last week the star joined the Nyc Department of Sanitation to clean the streets of Manhattan. O'Dowd says, "It's been quite grounding, because I have no structure in my life. The media has this image of me as this big f****t sitting on cushions all day eating grapes. But I'm a real person - I have a Hoover, I don't have a cleaner. So the idea that I can't pick up a broom and shovel is ridiculous. I think people didn't expect me to actually work, but that's what I came here for. And it's turned into a good experience. I'm amazed at how some people looked at it though. Some of the coverage was so over the top. And so much of it is, 'Oh, what a tragedy, ' and I'm like, 'Get over it, love!' There's nothing wrong with working
