"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

He was the one who called the cops and had them come over when he had like 13 bags of cocaine sitting out. Sounds like he did want the attention. And instead of manual labor .. he wanted to DJ a fundraiser event instead of real punishment.

It's such a waste...when he first came on the music scene he was so good..so innovative and captured the public's attention right away...what a waste...he had it all and now he's saying that he's real because he cleans his own place (so do I----I must have a structured life). I never doubted that he could pick up a broom and shovel. I'm retired--I really guess I don't have any real structure in my life but I don't phone the police on false burglary charges just to get attention...Michael Jackson must have been his teacher..'it doesn't matter what the publicity is--good or bad--the important thing is to have your name in the paper'. Personally I think he's pathetic.

At least he had a reason to get out of bed. I'm not going to criticize him. At least he did what he was supposed to do, and HE wasn't the one who asked for the publicity.

Actually I do have this idea of him on cushions all day eating bon bons (not grapes). The idle rich, if only the rest of us had their problems!
